IRISH CHALCINTS ACT.

Lord ELLIE NllOl/01/C if role, and raid, that in.
confequence of what had fallen in debate on a for-
mer night on the fubjed of the Irifb Chalicing and
Maiming AO, and conceiving it highly necelffiry
that a fimilar puniffiment ought to apply to the
fame fpecics of crime in this country, inftances of
which had been but too frequent 0 late, he had
prepared a bill, not only embracing the ()Neils of
the bill to which he alluded in application to both
countries, but containing other provifions for ex-
tending capital punilhment to other crimes corn.
mitted with intent to murder, and grocs fraud, in
relation to which, the laws of both countries, as
they now fiend, are defective. ,The pill already
before the Houfe, and which was intended to ope.
rate only in Ireland, provided that capital pima-
ment (bould attach upon any perfon maiming or
wounding any part of the body or limbs of any
perfon, with intent to murder or rob. His Lord-
(hip could not fee any reafon why the principle
was not equally neceffary for adoption in this
country. At recent, as the law (tood in England,
although wounding or maiming, with intent to
rob, be punifhable with tranfportaticm, wounding,
with intent to murder, is only ponifbable as a
common mifdetneanor. But the crime furely was
more atrocious in the cafe where it was now leaft
punllhable ; but it was fo much fo in both, that, in
his mind, the pnniffimeut ought to be capital in
one country as well as in the other. There was
alto another cafe, not lets atrocious, namely, that
of adminiflering poifon with intent to murder, but
which, as the law now (lands, is only puniffiable
as a mirdemeanour, linters the party die in confe-
quence. But furely fuch a crime calls as loudly
for capital puni(hment as fhooting at a man, or
any other at committed with intent to murder :
this, then, was another of the objeds to which the
provifions of his bill extended. Another was, that
of adminiftering poifonous drags to women for the
purpofe, and with intent, of procuring abortion,
which, at prefent, is only punifhable where adual
abortion of the living child is effeded. Upon this
point too, his Lordfhip obferved, there was a rpe•
cies of crime, on which the law, as it now fiends,
is Co revere in a conftrative view towards the mo-
ther of a battard child fuppofed to have been
murdered, after its birth ; that in cafe of fuch
child being found dead, or being made away with,
the proof of the mother having previoufly conceal-
ed her pregnancy, is to be taken as fufficient to
convkt of the murder ; but fo harfh was this law.
as to oblige the Judges, in their conftrudion of
it, to admit proof of the child having been (till.
born, in extenuation of the charge of murder. A
claufe was therefore inferted in the prefent bill,
repealing the law as it now flood, and re-enacting
a provifo, requiring that evidence fhould firft be
duly admitted, that fuch baftard child was, or was
not, born living, previous to the final decition up-
on any trial. There was another crime highly
atrocious, which was not capitally punifhable by
the laws of Ireland ; namely, that of a man fetting
fire to, and burning his own houfe, with intent to
defraud the infurers ; for this fpecies of Alm, the
capital punifhment only attached where the fire
extended to the houfe of his neighbour ; but as it
was a crime not only calculated to defraud one
let of men as much as that of forgery, or of fink-
ing a (hip at lea, but with incalculable danger to
the lives and properties of a whole neighbouihood,
and confequently fraught, as much as any ad
could be, with the very effence of criminality ;
namely, deliberate intention and malice prepenfe,
it was as defervedly to be ranked amonglt capital
crimes in Ireland as in this country. With there
views then, and upon the general principle of
affimilating the laws of both countries, fo far as
this bill could go, wiffied to offer it for their
Lordthips' conhderation. He trutted it would be
found to anfwer every objeet propofed by the bill
now before the Houk, and confequently to roper-
cede the neceffity of palling it; betides aiding
many deferable amendments to the exilling laws
refpeding murder and fraud in both countries-
The Bill was prefented and received.
Lord 'AucKLIIIID obferved, that the criminal
laws for inffiding capital punithments in this coun-
try were already fo numerous, that they ought not
to be increafed without great deliberation. At
the fame time he was ready to admit, that the
crime% enumerated by the Noble and Lrarned Lord ,
were fu:h, as to call for revere and exemplary
punilhment. He coincided with the Noble and
Learned Lord in the with of affimileting the laws
of the two countries, fo far as was predicable ;
but however to be lamented, yet Inch was the dif-
ference of manners, cuftoms, and fentirnents be-
tween the people of both nations, as to render fuch
a purpole, however deferable, but of flow growth.
The bill was read the firft time, and ordered for
the fecond reading the brit Toefday after the Reeds.

Lord K 1111; was ready to accede to the withes of
the Noble Lord, but kid he anuld on that day
make the motion sthich he intended to have made
this day t namely, thr.t fo foon as this bill (bould
be in operation, the Bank of Ireland thould be
obliged to pay their engagements, ff royarra. in
Bank of England Notes i which would be a vita
accommodation in the bufinefs of remittances,
either for commercial parpofes, or to perfons com-
ing from thence to this country, in doing away
the exorbitant rates of exchange which have fo long
and fo ieverely operated *gauge the people of Ire-
land in their commerce and capitation with this
country._

Lora L, M I R I c a had no objeiton to pollpose the
feeond reading of the Bill. bet begged that this
agreement might not be underiluod as binding
bomfelf. or any perfon on the part of Ireland. In

The Marquis of Smoo alto bore teftinsony to
the high charaCter and meritorkub cundukt of the
MOD Bank Direetors, fu,r,y coinciding in the fenti
ments of the laft noble Speaker ; but allured the
noble Lord who r.it below him (Lord King), that
if he could fuggeft an adequate remedy to obviate
the difference of exthange between Ireland and
England, the people of both countries would be
extremely obliged to bim.—Tbe Bill was deferred
accordingly. •
