THE MANCHESTER RIoTERs-EFFORTs IN
TIE HOUSE OF COMMONS TO SAVE
THEIR LIVES.
In the House of Commons last night
an effort was made to save the lives of
| the Manchester rioters. John Francis
Mcguire, the member for the city Of
Cork, moved that the House interfere for
a stay in the execution Of the sentence of
| the FeniAn conyicts Of Manchester and
that meanwhile the points of law upon
| which he based bis resolution be referred
| to the twelve highest Judicial authorities
/ Of the realm. The motion gave rise to q
long and earnest discussion. Mr.. Mcguire
was supported by Henry Fswcett, the
member for Brighton, and Sir George
BOwyer. But Messrs. Hardy, Gladstone
and Kinglake made strong speeches
against the motion, and 1t was finally
withdrawn by its author, the opinion Of
the House being mAnifestly against any
further consideration of the subject.
