TIE TICHBoRNE CASE.
After the transaction OF some unimportant
business, Dr. Keuealy rose and moved that
royai commission be appointed TO investt-
gate the circumstances attending the Itch
borne trials. In q powerful speech In sup.
mort Of his resolution Dr. kenealy alluded
TO the growing dissatisfaction at the result o.!
these trials and the mtnuer in which they
had been conducted by the bench. Nothing
short of q roya. commission Of Inquiry would
content the people of England, who were
! convinced that justice had not been done.
He stated be had received many letters from
America to the same effect. This discomfort
had grown into torrent which wa pouring
over The land. The late Ministry partly
owed It's downfall 10 its conduct IN regard TO
/ the Tlcahorne case. He asserted that be had
/ positive proof that the Chief Justice, SIR
/ Alexander Cockburn, in society, while the
trial was in progress. said he would give the
claimant fifteen years imprisonment.

I only. the witnesses were bIow-beaten, aud
| the partialily Of the bench was patent
throughout the proceeding. DIR. kenealy
declared he had sacrificed him SELF to his sense
OF honor and duty, aud bad ueen irretrieva-
big ruined in his profession. He believed
! he motion before the House would never be
renewed in is present form. 1t was impos.
>ible to predict the result it this commission
should be refused. The defeat Of the motion
would spread diSmay throughout the coun-
try. DR.. kenealy spoke three hours.
He was followed by Mr.. Whalley, who Sc
coudod the motion.
Sir Richard Bagsallay opposed the appoint.
ment of commission, for which there was
not the slightest ground Of justification. The
observations alleged TO have been made 10y
the Chief Justice were grossly mi>undet-
stood aud misintelpre,ed.
Mr.. WhalIey remarked that the House
seemed to be interested in the suppression OF
IN inquiry which would lead to the exposure
of r Catholic conspiracy against the Iicn-
borne claimant.
SIR Henry james, who was Attorney.Gene-
raj under the last Gladstone Ministry, de-
nounced the motion as an attack on the jury
system, and declared the commission asked
for unprecedented.
Mr.. Disraei sad Kenealy's speech was
thrice.told tale. The charges of misconduct
made against the Chief Justice were entirely
unsupported. Abiding to Or. kenealy, be
! regretted that Il tal"nted MAJ, under halluc;-
nation. had destroyed his own reputation.
, Mr. John Bright reviewed the evidence in
the Tichbornc trials. and declared that he
could not but agree with the jury in their
! vcrdicts.
/ The motion of DR.. Kcncaly was then re-
ected by vote Of 433 noes to aye.
