MONDAY, MARCH is.

Thomas Goold, Esq. was again called—He stated
that on Friday night last (after the last examination)
Mr. W. Quin had called on him, and had repeated
some of the minute circumstances mentioned in tho
House, and he (Mr, Goo1d) was now satisfied that he
had 'wen at Mr. C. Smith s in the morning as well as
the afternoon; because Mr. W. Quin had told him so,
not from any memory of his own. He added an as,
servation in these words—. I do declare solemnly,
that I bad not the slightest intention, nor the slightest
or the remotest intention, in the evidence I have given,
of even giving a colour to a single transaction. I was
mistaken ; my memory has deceived me r
Mr. T. W. Grady, the Petitioner, being examined,
stated, that he hacl been, he was old, Clerk of the
peace for the County of Limerick 15 years. The
duty had been performed by a deputy. Mr. W.
Quin had applied to him to remove this deputy from
his situation, saying he was not partial to his (Quin's)
political interests, which the witness refused to do.
When it was known that Mr. Quin was to have eie
.reversion of the office of Custos Rotulorum, witness
had spoken to him respecting his office of Clerk of
the Peace, and corvidered tl:4t he had received a pro.
raise that he should not be diiplaced. Lord Mits.
kerry died about a week before the last Election ;
witness then again applied to Mr. Quin, who gave
him an equivocal answer ; a few days after the Llec.
don Mr. Quin hinted to the witness, that in con c.
quence of a prior engagement, he feared he should
be obliged to disturb En* in. his office, -The propo.
sition of £2OO a year arising out of the emoluments
of the office, came originally from Mr. W. Quin ; the
winless had never said any thing to this effect, that
he should be reduced to the desperate necessity of
blowing out his brains. At first, witness was much
irritated at what he considered to be a breach of pro.
mise on the part of Mr. Quin, and refused to accept
the proposal, which was at first uncoupled with any
conditions. Nothing was settled when Mr. Quin went
to England, .After that lime witness wrote to Mr.
Carew Smyth, desiring him to call on Mr. Quin on
his return, to know his intentions as to the office,
Whep Mr. Quin came to his house, near Limerick,
after his return from England, witness had an
inter-
view with him. At that interview Mr, Q. said, that
if witness accepted of £2OO put of his old place, so
long as he continued to receive it,.he (Mr. Q.) should
consider witness a bpand to sail with him in the same
political vessel in the county e' but that witness was
perfectly at liberty, if lie could dispose of his interest on
more advantageous terms to any other candidate to do
so, Witness rejected that oiler, and left the Tom.
No ?nit was then present, He shortly after was in a
room with Mr. Quin, who introduced him to Mr.
Roche (his land agent), and said, " I will tell you,
Grady, before Mr. Roche, if you receive your 400
a year, I will give it you free:' Witness said," your
idea, Sir, of being free, and mine, do not coincide in
the least : you told me in the other room .; was to
bail with you in the same political vessel, mid now
you tell me j am' free, What do you mean? Will
you give me 1.'200 a year as long yow arkeustte,
jind Imre it to my discretion to Note. fpr

Free from the condition of political support. Carew
Smyth soon came to Limerick, and visited Mr. Quin
at Adare on the sth or 6th of October : he was in-
structed
by the witness, to accept the £2OO without
conditions. About two or three days after Mr. Smyth
left the country, Mr.W. Quin changed his intention,
and wrote to Gabbett a note (communicated to wit-
ness by Mr. Maunsell) to the effect, that he might
. vote as he pleased, and should not be on that account
deprived of his D2OO a year ; but on the advice of
his father, who was determined to bring the matter
before the House of Commons, witness declined the
oiler. Mr. It. Smyth, the present Clerk of the Peace
for Limerick, advised him to accept the offer, and
said, if witness refused the £2OO a year, he (Mr. S.)
should not be the richer, as Mr. Quin would then give
it to a Mr. Furnell,.for his political support. Witness,
was nine years old when appointed Clerk of the Peace.
He wrote to Mr. Quin to say his removal would hurt
him very much ; he thought he might have used
such an expression as this—" that to remain in doubt
was more torturing than the worst reality ( he did
not think he expressed himself so strongly as that his
very existence depended on it.--CA letter was herc
shewn to the witness, who said it certainly was writ-
ten by him, and he was not a bit ashamed of the
letter]. In this letter is the following passage :
" Should it he your intention to deprive me of my place,
which I don't think you can reconcile with your own feelings' or
the opinion of your friends, I request you will let me know the
moment you have made up your mind on the subject, as I have to
arrange my affairs accordingly ; and as the uncertaintrin which
I am at present is more torturing than the;vorst reality. You will
excuse, I hope, this unneceasary note ; but, as my very existence
depends on my place, I trust you will forgive my anxiety."
Another letter to Mr. Quin from the witness, and
identified by him, contained the following passage:
" I came front France, not because I thought my single vote
could be of much use, but because I knew my father's tenants
would not vote with you unless I was on the spot, though soli-
cited by close connections to stay away, they assuring me that
their first voice should go with Fitzgibbon. As I promised to
support you, my father and myself were resolved to act towards
you as we always have done, and I came GOO miles for the pur-
pose, before I knew it was in your power to injure me or serve
me. Forgive me for this long history, but my feelings are so
wounded by this report (i. e. the report that Mr. Quin had ap-
pointed Mr. IL Smith as Clerk of the Peace in his room), and
the taunting pity of my relations, and the ridiculous point of
view in which I am placed, to which yeas may add my ruin, if I
lee my place, that I must give myself some vent."
Witness received a letter from Mr. Carew Smyth on
the 22d.September, saying he had seen Mr. Quin.
Up to that period, he had never heard a word about
political support being attached to the offer of £2OO
a-year. Mr. Quin himself never told him that he
was. to give him his political support; but Mr. Wyn-
dham Fitzgerald told him, that if he did accept of the
£2OO a-year when first it was offered, Mr. Q. wculd
expect he should vote for him in the county. When
he heard from Mr. Carew Smyth that his political
support should be the condition of receiving £2OO
a-year, he was a good deal astonished, because Mr.
Quin did not mention it to him himself, when first he
mentioned the £2OO a-year. On. the 28th of Septem-
ber he had an interview with Mr. Quin at Adare,
when Mr. Quin said that they were to sail together
in the same political vessel; he made that a sine qua
non; he did not express any surprise to Mr. Quin;
because he had received from Mr. Carew Smyth
three or four different letters from Dublin to acquaint

him with that fact, and therefore it was unnecessary to
express astonishment at a fact he was acquainted with.
In the presence of Mr. Roche, Mr. Quin referred to
the offer unconditionally at'first, as five as- air ; but
witness found his meaning was the very same all
through. Witness asked him if he would let him
vote as he liked ? And he said, certainly not; there-
fore there could not be any thing more conclusive
than that. To the question---" Did you say, will
you let me vote as I please, or did you say, will you
give me a positive assurance, that if I vote against
you, you will Rot remove me from the office?" Wit-
ness answered, " I cannot exactly say about that ; I
cannot exactly say which, for they are both the
same, in my humble opinion—there is no difference.."
Witness saw very little distinction, indeed, between
leaving it upon a fair and common understanding
that he, would probably act as he had formerly act-
• ed; namely, support Mr. Quin, and a positive assur-
ance given by him, that if he should happen to vote
against Mr. Quin, he would not deprive him of the
'2OOl. a year. Only twenty-five of witness's tenants
voted for Mr. Quin at the election, and the reason
was that only twenty-five could vote. Mr. Quin told
witness himself, at Belmont, that his father never
polled -less than 130 or 140 for him. Mr. Carew
Smyth was of opinion, at first, that witness should
accede to Mr. Quin's proposal ; and that part of the
petition which stated that Mr. C. Smyth objected to
that proposition as reprehensible, was incorrect.
Witness had no ground exactly for making that state-
ment ; certainly he did not consider that at the time.
The statement in the petition, that Mr. Goold came
to the house of the said Carew Smyth, " when the
said Wyndham Quin delivered to the said Carew
Smyth the said instrument, in writing, revised and
and corrected, approved of and testified by the said
Thomas Goold," was wrong too. Mr. Gould said he
would be always ready to come forward and tastify
it. The following letter was shewn to the witness,
who said it was certainly Mr. Quin's hand-writing:
" Mare, April ".3, 1817.
" PEAR Tent—T received your friendly letter last night.
I was certain, from the moment you promised to support me,
that you would do so in the true spirit, by making every exer-
tion in your power; I should, indeed, be mortified to think I
bad more zealous and sincere friends than you and your father.,
For myself, I never can forget the impression made in the early
times I passed in your family. I am to set off for London in a
few days. When 1 and the summer shall again return, I hope
to have the pleasure of seeing you all here. Thank you for your
inquiries about the little girl, who is dans very well. Pray re-
member me to all friends, and believe me, very sincerely yours,
(Signed) W. WYNDII.SM QUIN."
Mr. Carey: Smyth was again called in and cm-
mincd.—fle corrected a part of his former examina-
tion, where he said he took no part in the ruse de
guctre. Ile said he now felt he ought to have gone
further, and have dissuaded Mr. Grady from prac-
tising it.
Mr. David Roche, of Carras. in the county bf Li-
merick, was then called in and examined.—lle was
present at Adare at a conversation which passed in
September, on the subject of the annuity between Mr.
Grady and Mr. Quin. Mr. Quin addressing witness,
said, " I have secured for Mr. Grady 2001. a year,
which is to be paid by Mr. Smith, which you may
have if you please, Mr. Grady." Mr. Grady said, " but
Mr. Quin, suppose my ft eelialders do not vote with
you in the next election, which I am inclined to think,

they will not do, what then, is to become of the WO/. ?
Mr. Quin sai2, " I have nothing to do with yourfree-
holders, Sir; I give you this 1:100 a year as a friend,
and the son of a friend whom I am much obliged to,
and I beg to hear nothing of your freeholders; you
and your freeholders are at liberty to vote for whom
you please." Mr. Grady stated then, that Mr. Carew
Smyth had written down that he expected his free-
holders ; then said Mr. Quin,'" if he wrote any such
thing as that, he wrote you what he was not war-
ranted in saying, and I now tell you the reverse; I
would not offer you or myself such an indignity ;"
and he seemed very much irritated at the time. Mr.
Grady's irritation arose from his not having the whole
place. At the last election he thought Mr. Grady
had under his influence about 36 freeholders.

31r. Richard Smith being again examined, stated,
that the last election for Limerick continued nine
days, and that Mr. Quin had a majority of 500 over
the opposing candidate, Mr. O'Grady. He was ap-
prked before he was appointed Clerk of the Peace,
that he was to pay £2OO a-year out of the office. At
I first, indeed, he understood he was to have it unbur-
dened, but lie believed the alteration was made in
consequence of the representation made to Mr. Quin
of Mr. Grady's finances. He did not remonstrate
against it—he viewed it as a humane act. All wit-
ness's tenants, who voted at the last election, voted
for Mr. Quin and Mr. Fitzgibbon. Witness now held
the whole of the emoluments of the office.
