pealed cheerings from all parte of the Dousefollomed

Sir IL WILSON then rose and said, before the
Hesoerable Member left the House he begged' to asz,
sere him that he knew nothing of the Petitioners, and
bad never heard of oho Petitions till one week before
his presenting it. Ile conceived, that in jesting to
himself, be was bound to state this, least it might be
Supposed that auy of the letters alluded to in !hoes
which had been read by the Hon. Member were ad.
dressed to himself. With respict to the H bM
Member it was not his duty, and it certainly war not
his lecliaatioe, to evadeavotar new to weaken the im-
pression which he had produced on the House.—
(hear!]—He had not sufficient Parliamentary taped-
trace to guide him in the course of proceeding whic t
it would now be proper to adopt ; and, therefore, ha
wished to have the sense of the House on the subject.
Willing to yield to the suggestions of Members of
more esperiewee than himself, and to adopt whatever
aerie was Oast agreeable to the House, he should
is the meantime mote that the Petition be refined to
a Committee of Privileges.
Mr. P. MOOIIE was also la favour of referring
the Petition to the conaideratioa of a Committee of
Privileges.

Mr. WYNN then moved, that evidence should be
bond at the bar on Moods,' fortnight.
After a desultory conversation on the subject of the
proper day for hearing evidence, in which Lard Cas-
tlereagh, Sir J. Newport, Mr. C. ilutchiasen, Mr.
Courtenay, and Mr. S. Boerne, took a part, it was
filed that evidence should be examined on Mods,
oit'noight.
The letters of T. Grady, the father, were tires

read.
Mr. COURTENAY submitted that these letters,
containing threats, were breeches of the privileges of
Parliament, sad therefore that the author should be
ordered to attend at the bar.
The SPEAKER. said, the first coarse would be
to come to • resoletion, that the letter was a breech
of the ptivileges of the House, before they ordered the
attendance of the author as a priscipal.
Upon this question some convitestion took place
between Sir J. Newport, Mr. Bathurst, Lord Castle-
neigh, Mr. W. Quin, and Mr. Wyatt.
Mr. WYNN moved that the letter sent to the
Hen. W. Quit was a high breach of the privileges of
that House.
Mr. BROUGHAM agreed that the letter was a
breach of privilege; but **mistake should be weds
as to the reasons of the Howse. The threat bed not
been► seed to the Hon. Gentleman as a Member of
Parliament ; but es he steed in another capacity ;1
and was equally a breech of privilege if he had not
been le Parliament. It was also 'breather privilege
to libel any Member of that house.
111 r. COUItTF:NAY time moved, that Thomas
Grady do attend forthwith at the bar of the House.
Mr. Grady, who was in the neighbourhood, was
thee brought to the her; when
The SPEAKER desired him to look at the letter
that bed been laid before the House, and to say whe-
ther or sot he Mad written it ?
Mr. Grady said, that for the last 15 years be bed
been unable to see by csedle-light, bet would be
reedy to attend to-morrow, end could then satisfy 601
House. He, at the same time, had no recollection •f
any such letter.
Mr. BAN KES suggested that the letter might be
read to the witness, who, from beating the cost.
touts, could state whether or not be was the author.
Mr. MARTIN (of Gaiwsy) said, that the hear-
ing the letter fetid, would not sufficiently enable the
witness to identify it with the one upon the table.

Mr. COURTENAY obestroadi that the Ilona
' Gentleman bad spokes distinctly to Grady being the
author of the latter, which stetsssoot bed bees at-
tempted to be disproved, by the most prevaricating
testimony of the moat prevaricating tritons.
The question wag thus carried that T. Grady wrote
sod sent such a letter?
Alderman WOOD asked where was the proof that
Grady had seat such& letter.
Mr. BATBUItSr observed, that when a letter
was proved to be the handwriting of en individual,
it was a strong prerensptlos that the letter bad been
sent by that individual.
The question was then pet, that T. Grady,in writ.
togand seeding such a latter, bad been guilty of a
high breach of the privileges of the Bosse, which was
carried in the affirmative.
Mr. BANKES then moved, that T. Gray be
sent to his Majesty's jail of Netegate.—Ordered.

that Carew Smyth, Daniel Gabbs+, Theses

IMPORTANT DRGISW.N re INGLISU EMI-
GRANTS au ratis CERDITIMS.

ROTAI. COURT, PARIS:
uoTtom P. toriti*.
This nese, which has excited se much interest
among the English: residents in Franey, was finally
decided by the limp' Ceert, the 10th Jan. last.
The circumstances of the cue were brielly as fol.
low :—Mr. Henry bad assigned ever to treeless
estates in Ireland to the amount of I'l,oool. a-year,
to pay off his debts and locombrleees, and came over
to Reece, with his family, to live economically until
all was dlseherged.
Mr. Boylen, a paper-menefactoror of Dubliniwlt•
had watered judgment on a bond of Mr. Henry's for
about 4001. notwithstanding this arrangement, came
ever to France, and seed Mr. Henry before the
Judges et Versailles; and during Mr. Henry's ob.
since in Pan', obtained a judgment by desalt, and
precured en esecotion against both the person and
effects of Mr. Henry, et the same time; and be-
fore the family had risen in the morning, a party of
gendarmes entered Mr. Henry's house; and, with
circumstances of peculiar severity, seized the
whole of Lady E. Hent)'s welting-apparel,
broke open Mr. Henry's wrestle., and placed per-
sons in his house, who retained possession of every
thing for nearly seven months. Mr. Henry himself
being ailesed that every step of Mr. Bnylon's wu
illegal and arbitrary, withdrew himself to Switzer.
land, until the cause should he derided by the Court
at Paris. Notwithstanding the opinions of the first
Advocates of the superior Courts, that the whole
proceeding was contrary to the Law of Nations, and
of France, the Judges of Versailles and Mr. Boyles
persisted in the process: an appeal was consequently
entered before the Royal Curt of Patio, who, on a
fell hearing of the cause, have declared the whole
proceeding illegal end arbitrary, and prnnoanced
their lodgment in the following words :
" The Royal Court, considering that jedgmeeta
awarded by Foreign Courts between foreigners, have
no execution in France, annihilate the appellation
and judgment appealed for, and, rectifying +bosom.,
free Henry from the sentence pronounced against
him ; and declare null cud void, to all intent* and
purposes, the arbitrary 111.46011.1 practised agolost
him ; and farther, condemn Boylan I. the payment
of all costs, both of the first instance, and et the tip.
peal."
The amount of damages sustained by Mr. Henry
and his family remain for the consideration of the
Court, for which, and the costs on judgment wad
execution, process will of course emu against
Boylan.
