rniDAY, Nauru it -

Mr. Use. INISIIIIOII was esemined.—He was the
Ilamol of the thief Banking establishment in the city
of Ikeersick, father.is.law to the Petitioner, end a
m.'—doe to Mr. Clain. lie saw Mr. C. Smyth in
t..te her, before be went to Adam, when he told
1.. m, that he had had a conversatiosi with kir. Quin in
on the suhject of 2001. a year, soil that be
Ised (bairn up a minute of it, twhirh he( kir.(.. Smyth)
produced. The condition 01t which tho l'rtilioarr was
to have thr 2001. a yeer.wa,, that Mr grin was to
receive the political interest of Mr. Grady at the
election. (The minute wes shohn to the witoess.)
Ile believed that to be the paper, bet he could not
'articular', charge his memory with h„,._hlr.Oah.
hett, the law agent of Mr. Quin, had shown him two
lines of a little from Mr to the following effect :
" Mr. Grady may vote s• he pleases, and if he should
vote agaiii.f me, that Ain not be sufficient cause for
my removing him." Ile communicated this to the
Petitioner, and advised him to erupt the '2OOl. a
)ear; which he did.— Until that note from Mr.
Quin to Mr. Gabbett bud been shown him, the ins.
premien on his mind writ, that the Petitioner was to
'receive the lOUI. • year, on the condition of his (Wog
his lu.litical suppuit to Mr. Quin. The Petitioner
wan in mobs ell circenstlanees. The Petitioner's
deputy, Mr. Wall, he understood. lly paid to
she Petitioner 4.01. Ile believed that Mr. I'. W.
(484 took it for granted that he was sere of the
place, in consort f some kind mtpressions used
to him by Mr. Quin. The itlfice of Clerk of the Peace
we. estimated by deputy, because kir. T. W. Grade,
beings boy when he cot it, was not (eddled to fill
it. He recollected a toweling at his Bank between
Mr. Darby O'Grady and Mr. C. Smyth. Ile sap.
posed the Petitioner intended to apply the 3001. a
year, by throwing it into the general fund, as he wan
very liberal to his father. They bpd a stock parse
between them. He conceived that the proposal made
by Mr. Quin to his mo.in.law, was such, that he
could not in hooncr accept of it, as there ass the
condition of requiring his political support Grinned
to it. lie andrivocil the intention, as then en.
pressed by Mr. Gal.lieut to be that of Mr. Quin, to
N. varied frum what he undeistoud to have been the
intention of Mr. Q lin when in Dublin. The dif-
ference was thia—iii Dublin be asielemtnoil him to
require the political aapport of Mr. Grady, but by
that letter he left him free to &arose of his votes as
be pleased.

The neat witness called was Mr. Dusiel Gabbett.
'He deposed, that he ass a solicitor at Limerick, and
occasionally employed as law anent to Pair. W Quin.
Jt was after an interview with Mr. itiatinsell that he
yield in the month of October to Mr. W. Quin at
Adore ; his motive was, as a metes! friend, to pro.
mote a reconciliation between the parties. In that
con inn he stated to Mr. Quin that he under.
atond the cause of differeoce was occasioned by an
implied tooditlen of political support being impeded
tram Mr. Grady—be understood so in his communi-
cations with Mr. Smyth and Mr. Grady the Peti-
tioner. Mr. Qoin's reply was, that as threats had
been held nut to him by Mr. Grady, he did not feel
called open to afford any explanation, as he
was determined not to be intimidated. Ile observed
to Mr. Quin, that it would be honourable ist him to
clicri,im so injuring, a report. Mr. Quin proceeded
no further, race'', eising him In osolestland that she
principal cause of difference otiose from Mr. Grady's
endeevonring to 'dome the proybdon intended for
him, while Mr. Quin continued to hold the situation
of Custus itotalornm of the county, adding, that he
was determined to be 84 free as Mr. Grady himself.
Mr. Quin neither admitted nor &Ailed the fact of
having required pnistical the converse-
r.on he had with him. ile tufermsd him, however,
test some etioressioo /met eccai.•ll hips in the coarse
of his communications with Mr. C. Smyth, intimat-
ing that shale he and Mr. Grady toiled in the
'erne political I it was hut likely that any
mlsenderstanding could arise between them.—
'Witness did not understand the figetativeespressioe of
sailing in the same political vessel as an eckuowledit.
nsent that there woe a condition of political support
sneezed to the annuity ; he thought it referred to
the possibility of the Perithener's father lampooning
Mr. Quin, and of the Petitioner himself taking P
part prattled, hostile to his interest. Witness stated
that he hid. afterwards a written commuoicatinti with
Mr. Qeiss open the sulijiet, the answer to which 443 a
;credited. In this answer Mr. Quin accepted the
preload-dm of Mr. Maostaell. and declared that be'
gem, the thing doting pleasure, allowing Mr. Grady
to vote as he pleased, and pledging himself, in case ,
Itre.(tlvarly chose to vote agsiest him, that he should
not On that aeenent deprive him of the situation.— !
Witness conceived that Mr. Qnin in this letter ac.
qiiiesced in his suggestion of disclaiming the report
that he had rc qeired a cesidition of political support,
the idea of which condition he believed to have orki.
rested le misconception between the parties. He did ;
PHI thick that Mr. Quin would engage io inch • '
traffic, or that be attached such vales to the political
interest of Mr. Grady es could make it an object to
him. When he received the note from Mr. Quip, be
commensicated to Mr.Maensell that he had 'evinced
io every thing sought for es behalf of Mr. Grady,
namely, that he had disclaimed eny idea of imposing
any condition whatever on politicalsonport. Ile did
not know that the terms had been refused by the Pe-
titioner, instil the stay time be believed that he. saw
a Petition Indbeten preferred on the occasion, or some
Parliameektity debste upon the subject. The witness
then read ',letter, dated Limerick, the I Ith of Oc.
ISIS, addressed by him to Mr. Quin, ap-
',not.* him of She assent of hit. Nevoid!, Pair.
e id Mr. Atp, to the ciraorment. Ile knew
Air. Thwmes 11'211, the Deputy of the Petitioner, to
he 1 MO of integrity, and bad never hesrd of any
cr• :.plaint aeltitst bins so discharging the duties of his
I P. It WPC very muck the datum in Ireland fort
rt g odic, of Clerk of the retire to be performed by
Density ; he bad not interfered iss consequence of
heating that a Partisinentary Enquiry was sheet to
take place, and dol not recollect oaring had any
roe loon with the Petiliourr on the subject. The
Geod. man • in held the office of Clerk of the Peace
prior to the appointment of Mr. Grady, was, he be.
. rid, Alt. A:elealith Manure;; and be rather ss.

dined so think that he hail acted himself, and not by
DPW,. He was mot aware that any communication
had taken place between Mr. Wit and Mr. Carew
Smyth on the subject before his interview; thogreend
of the difference was certainly political (import. He
hail beard nothing of the minute of a conversation
i:raken by Mr. Carew Smyth until be came to attend
i seder the MIIOIOIII Of that Honourable House; he
believed him totally incapable of fabricating the
substance of any such conversation, but believed that
a mi.enueeptioo might have arisen nn the occasion.
Richard Smith, Esq. called in and examined.—The
; willies stated, that he was now Clerk of the Peace
for tfie County of Limerick, which appointment be
received on the 22d of September lest; the deed of
appointment contained a stipulation, io virtue of
which he was only to hold the office daring the plea-
! sure i f the Honourable_ W. (loin ; he believed it did
not in that respect differ from other deeds of ap.
, poiniment given to Clerks of the Peace; it did not
differ from those given to his predecessors. It was
saggrsted to him, that it would be humane and ad-
visible to make the prevision of 2001. a year out of
the office for the late Clerk of the Peace. The swig-
gestion was first made by Mr. N. Cousantline, and
afterwards by Mr. Quin, who told him that he wee
, under great embarrassment in coonesisence of the re.
presentation Mr. Grady made of his sileatinn. He
believed it was from the Petitioner himself that be
first understood there was a condition of political
! support ed to the grant of 2001.2 year. Ile had
stated this to Mr. Quin, who authorised him to iii-
form Mr. Grady that he wanted no such pledge from
: him; and having so don., Mr. Grady professed him-
self perfectly satisfied. This conversation took 'slice
• a few de). before Mr. Carew Smyth come to UMW.
rink. In the conversation he had with the Petitioner
; about delivering up the Records, be understood from
him that what he wanted was to have an annuity
settled on him for life. Ile was himself appointed
to the office without solicitation. There were 411
freeholders registered upon his property. The Peti-
tioner had 38 previous to the last Election, and 40
were since registered by Mr. O'Grady, the late Can.
did ire. His own freehonters voted in the interest of
Mr. Fitzgibbon and Mr. Quin at the last Prelim.—
' lie did out recollect that Mr. W. Q•rin had ever es-
( signed any reason for the removal of the Petitioner
!from the office.

Mr. Carew Smyth called in and farther examined.
—The witness Impressed himself write centident thst
Mr. Gook! accomperied Mr. Q•liti on the morning
of the MI of sept►mher, when he visited upon wit-
ness. Ile stated some particu!sre which impressed
it more strongly on his memory, Foch as the awk•
*artiness of the maid servant, who shot the dour
against them et first ; and the dress of Mr. Goold,
who was wrapped in a crest coat, and wore a hand.
kerchief 'boot his neck ; and mom. pleasantries that
passed between them on the occasion.
Here some letters which passed between Thomas
Grady end Mr. Quin, were read to the House. The
witness persevered in stating, that Mr. Goold bail
expressed himself in the manuer be (the witness) had
stated yesterday.
Thome. Geoid, Esq. called in and farther es.
.mined.—The witness stated, that be bed seen Mr.
Grady. jun. that day, ■nd was threatened by hi■ ler
the evidence he had given. _ _

Mr. T. W. Grady haring been called in, and haw-
ing admitted that he bad told Mr. Gould, that if he
made use of his (Mr. Grady's) name wantonly, be
should be ender the necessity of kicking him, was
committed to the custody of the Serjesot at Arms.
Carew Smyth, F.-q. was then called, and farther
examined as to the call whirls he stated Mr. Gaols!
to have made at his boon, in company with Mr. W.
Quin, on the morning of the 211 The first visit
was about eleven o'clock. lie reaffirmed the vs.
riot's particulars which he had mentioned, sod which
impressed on his mind the remembrance of the first
visit. H. seated that Mrs. Grady (the wife of Mr.
Grady, the elder, was Isis father's sister) on leaving
Ireland, had requested him to advise and take cute
of her son. lie was also examined alto his motives,
and as to his cots tinny with Chief Baron O'Gra-
dy, but nothing material was elicited.
'fhomss Geoid, Esq. w•s again called, and Mr.
Carew Smyth's evidence havirg been recapitulated to
him, with respect to the assertion that Mr. Geoid
' accompanied Mr. Quin to his (C. Smyth's) house on
the morning as well es on the afternoon of the 22.1 of
S-pteasher, he stared that he had [seated a sleepless
night, taxing his memory to try if be cools' tiring
such a fact to his recollection, and he now solemnly
declared his " sincere conviction end positive one,"
that he never entered Mr. Carew Smyth's house but
once in his life. lie stated that the conversation al-
leged to have taken place at the brat interview was, ,
therefore, " positively incorrect, and not true." Ile
',collected no conversation with respect to his dress;
he never wore a handkerchief about his neck ; the s
?V of September was net a cold day. lie mention. •
ed, however, that he had c:riven with Mr. Quits in
an open car, and that Mr. Quin wished to call at Mr.
Carew Smyth's ; he believed the car stopped at the
door, but neither he (Mr. Goo's!) nor Mr Quin got
out, ding to his " positive recollection ;" his ,
(Mr. Goold's) own coachman drove the car. No °
other material point was stated by him, except the
fact which impressed the circem.tance of his meeting '
Mr. Quin at his ball door. The fact was this—"
W. Quin," said be, " my relative and my friend, ;
thought it right to brine my preterssions to promo-
,lion ender the eye of my Lord Talbot (the Lord i
Lieutenant); there was then a seriesntey 'scans,
which he went to ask for mo on that dar."
Mr. Carew Smyth was called, end oared, the
names and residences of the two versants who lived
with him on the 22d of September, and Mr. Gould
also was called on, and stated the ~June of the coach-
man who drove him on that slay.
