THE ST,

vote of censure on the conduct of the Sheriff to be pro-
posed upon, the minutes alreadytakefs.
After a few words from Mr. DALY and Colonel BAR-
RY. i n explanation,
Mr. CALCRAPT said, whatever course thp. House
might now adopt, it could preclude any Member from
submitting a motion upon the evidence before the House;
I and, therefore, if the Right Honourable Oentlemen
(Colonel Barry) had more with to examine, he ought
to proceed. Let him not think the ease could rest here.
He (%tr. Calcraft) wonld nor at present give any decision,
and trusted he should not he driven to do so without
flue enn•ideration. The determination of the Right lion.
Gentleman opposite (Mr. Canning) appeared to him
most extraordinary for any Minister to take. He was
hound to make up his mind on the point before the
'lnoue. He said that we found ourselves exactly in the
situation he predicted; but although the Right Hon.
Secretary might be en excellent prophet, he (Mr. C.)
would defy anyone to say that most important information
had not been derived from the inquiry. Enough had been
obtained to spew that that revision was necessary. He
should further omose the amendment, if it tended to shut
out evidence in defence of the SherUl.

Mr. CANNING explained.
Mr. ELLICE said he would oppose the amendment.
After a few words from Mr. JONES,

Sir J. NEWPORT rose to observe, that u the pre-
sent investigation had originated with the Hon. Baronet,
the Member for Westminister, who was not now in his
place owing to indisposition, the case ought not to be
closed without his consent.

Iv! Mr. CANNING entirelyre liv the opinion of the
Right Hon. Baronet (Sir rt)1011e thought while
either side might have evil t produce the inquiry
shook! proceed.
Mr. G. HP.NNIET said the Investigation had fully an-
swered his expectations ; all parties hail acted just as he ex-
pected and wished. It appeared from the evidence of one of
the witnesses, a Pollee Magistrate (Major SW), that a great
deal of tampering existed In lrehnd, which world not be to-
lerated in this country. With re.pect to the Sheriff of Dah-
lia, the practice of striking Juries evidently called for car-
tection. Alio with respezt to that House, the investigation
fully displayed the system which was at work both within
and without it.

The House then divided on Mr. Jones's Amendment, when
the numbers were.—

For it, 42 Igainst it, 173—Nlajotity. 131.
On re•entering the Gal:erv, we found Sir J. YORKE on
his legs. deploring the situation of Ireland.
Mr. 8. WORTLEY explained.
Sir R. HERON then read the last Question proposed by
Mr. Hume to the witness, 'when

Mr. BENNF.T rose, and proposed, that the Chairman re-
port pro4ress to-morrow.
After mme discussion as to the course to be adopted on re-
suming 41 quiry, it was ordered that the Chairman report
progress, and obtain leave to sit again this day.
On the Motion of Lord CRANBOURNE the second
