PRICE SEVEN PENCIL

: .

while there was any ding that the it inductors of the
tigation thought it hon.'s-tent to their ease to firing for-. e.'
ward; he (At himself precluded from voting for its discot•••
Salience.
After a few Words &Om Sir J. NEWPORT and Mr. S.
J3OURNE.
Colonel BARRY said he boost! the Committee would
press on their Cliiironan the propriety of .orderlsir the
Sergeant Arms to take. into custody lu4 witnesses as were
served with the order of the House and did not attend.
Lord CRANROURNE was enthirsiood to say that he
I apprehended the view of the .Honourable Member wno
moved the. Order of the Day, and would *ithdraw his amend-
latest.
The House then resolved 'titillate the Committee, Sir R. .
Hatton in the ('hair.
On the Motion of Colonel BARRY, Mr. Gabriel.
Whistler was ordered to be called In, but he did not appear.
Colonel BARRY said that on inquiry he found that •
Whistler had not arrived in London. He was one of those
witnesses who were summoned In Splint Hit handed by the •
Right Hon. Attorney-General to the Hon. Member for West'
miniter, and he then wrote to the Speektit, that in the *b.
'roe@ of both the Sheriffs and the Clerk, he being the deputy •
Sheriff, Gould not leave Dublin till one of those returned.—
He would now move that the House do resume for the pur-
paseof making an order to take Gabriel Whistler into the
cuMedt_ei the Sequel at Arms.
Mr. M. A. TAYLOR said they should err have proof that- •
the order of the House was served on him.

Sir JOHN NEWPORT said that Mr. Cooper, one of
the Sheriffs, and Mr. Mansfield, the clerk, were released
from attendance on the House, in or ter to let Mr. Whist-
ler
obey the order of the House. Those Gentlemen bad re•
turned to Dublin long since, and yet Whistler was not forth•
coming.
Mr. KROUGH AM said tl:at strictly speaking, every one
of the King's subjects was bound to obey the House's order.
This iodividual excused himself until Mansfield returned.—
Was there any proof before them that Mansfie.d had re-
turned ?
Mr. Clifford. one of the messengers.was the% called in, and
in answer to sotue• questions put to him by Col. Barry, said •
he served the order of the House for the attendance of Mr. '
Whistler at his office in Dublin. Mr. Whistler was not there,
but Mr. Mansfield the clerk was.
Mr. ABERCROM BY here ob 4, that it would be as
well to make a fresh order for the attendance os the person.
By that course be would be here as soon as by an order to
Joan him into custody.
Mr. WYNN said that the sooner the House resumed,
to make such order, the better, as they would save
postage.
The SPEAKER observed, that an order was already
made for the attendance of the party, and if he did not obey,
it was for the Howse to see what they Wereto do. What he
rose for was to suggest that the Chairman should make some •
report to the House.
The Committee then directed the Chairman to report,
tbat Gabriel Whistler did not attend in obedience to the
order of the House, and to apply for a new order to com-
pel hie attendance.
The House then resumed, and an order was made for
his attendance on Wednesday next.
•
The -Honse then resolved itself again into tbe um!
mittee. . •.

Henry Charles Sirr called in sad esaseioed by Colonel
BARRY.—Witnees resided in Dublin, and wafroern
Major of that city ; he recollected the 14dr jay of De-,
(washer last; there were riots that night at the (teepee;
the irritation was caused by the preventing the dressing.
of the state's; informations were laid, on which persons
were comasitted•for that riot for a capital offence; he was
one of the Magi who took an information
which one person was committed for the capital offence;
the committal was male under the direction of the offi-
cers of the Crown—he meant the Attorney-General and
Solicitor-General; there were a variety of informations
sworn before bins on the subject; be was not aware at
the time the informations were sworn, that there was'
any capital charge; he made out-the committal in pur-*
suance of the instructions of the Law Officers of the
Crown, without having before him informations which
be considered bore out the capital charge ; he then dirt
not know the extent of the otience; the witnesses treee*
chiedy examined at the head police office, and some of
them at the Secretary of State's office; if be had nut re-
ceived instructions trona the Law Officers of the Crown,
he believed that he would not bare committed Forbes for
the dial offer

eaPi.
_ •
Mr. JONES inquired of the witness when he app%ed
to the Law Officers of the Crown ?

Me. BROUGHAM objected to the mode of exantina-
tioo. The question was framed as if the witness ad-
mitted that be did go to the Law Officers of the
Crown.
Mr. JONES objected to the manner in which the
Honourable and Learned Geutlenhia delivered his obi
servations.
Mr. BROUGHAM was not aware that whittle 'laid -
was objectionable in any. respect. He did not hold biro.-
self up as an authority in the House, but the question
was one which eitber a lawyer or layman could put. It
was not a proper mole of examination to put words in
the winless 's mouth.
Mr. JONES regretted that be drew upon himself the
sarcasm of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, bar, which
however, would have very little effect on him.
Mr. BROUGHAM saki that nothing could be more
unpleasant than beiug told that he was in wrath, or ut-
tenng sarcasms when he was not in the least disposed ti,
be angry.
The examination was then resnowd.—Witness did not
apply to the Lsw °dicers of the Crown; it was consi-
dered a Crown prosecution, and for that reasm applied
for instractions: he was a Police Magistrate fur fifteen
years, and a Magistrate for nine years previous; tiering
the whole of that time lie had been in the practice of act-
ing ouder the instructions of the Crown °dicers; during
the whole of. the 24 years, in every case when the Crown
was a party, he took the instructions of the Law 06.06
of the Crown; in every case where be resorted to 144
as Law Officers, be considered himself in attending lb
their advice,
In what dad you resort I—(A pause.) What do you
mean by resorting ?—(A pause.) Did yea go to them
and state the ease, and receive instructions ?—tiertaloly.
He had frequently gone to the Solicitor of the Crown,
but not always. It might so happen that he went to the
Officer of the Crown io cases of State affairs, such as
political offences. It might so happen that he went to
the Officer of the Grown in eases of 'state affairs, such as
political offences. if a man was indicted on a charge of
sedition, he would ask the Crowo•Lawyers fur itistrim-
dons. lie would not hesitate to commit a person in a
case where be differed in opinion from the Law Officers
as to the offence. Also In cases of bsil.

The witness here Wes taken ail, and the accomntotia-
lion of s their WAS ordered.
Col. BARRY complAined that metaphysical questions
were asked.

Mr. ItitOCCHIA3I said that the examination Rae
far trona being metaphysical—it was plain and straight
forward.
Essmiaation resumed.
If a question arose, abetber a wan was to be comMir-
ted or mot for a senit lugs °Beare, would be take the ad-
vice of the assistant 'Barristers? He went to other law-
yers often. He* never west to thn lawyers of the pri. •
sonar. ,He woald commit the person in question it *it
