411dan were presented by the Earl of DERBY, from places
~
ncashire, and by the Earl of HARROWEY from the
Bristol Temperance Society.
the Marquis of CLA NRICA RDE said that, having in the
Bourse_ of his observations on the administration of justice
!i!t Ireland, felt imelled to illustrate his arguments by
,allusion to a particular case, he regretted to learn that his
observations . .
ations had given pain to the learned judge who had
PrOnounced the sentences in question, though nothing
could be further from his wish than that such a conse-
'Pence should have resulted. He therefore wished to say
that his observations were intended to apply to the general
v 13,,11155e of proceedings which had taken place for some
"°.82 and that he had no wish to cast any blame on the
learned person who pronounced the sentences alluded to.
The Benefices Augmentation Bill was read a third time

- motion of Lord Shaftesbury, passed through com-
mittee and was reported to the house.
