new Writ for the electing of a Knight to serve 
in this present Parliament for the Western Di-

John Tollemache, Esquire, who, since his election

Mr. Speaker reported, That the House had been

pom to both Houses of Parliament in pursuance 
of Her Majesty’s Commands; and of which Mr. 
Speaker said he had, for greater accuracy, ob- 
tained a copy; which he read to the House, as 
followeth : 


My Lords, and Gentlemen, 
I avail Myself of the opportunity afforded by 
your re-assembling for the discharge of your mo- 
mentous duties, to renew the expression of My 








| been free from serious crime.

thankfulness to the Almighty for the deliverance 
of My dear Son the Prince of Wales from the most 
imminent danger, and of My lively recollection of 
the profound and universal aasiie shown by M 

loyal people during the period of anxiety and trial. 

I purpose that on Tuesday, the 27th instant, 
conformably to the good and hecoming usage of 
former days, the blessing thus received shall be 
acknowledged on behalf of the Nation by a Thanks- 
giving in the Metropolitan Cathedral. At this 
celebration it is My desire and hope to be present. 

Directions have been given to provide the neces- 
sary accommodation for the Members of the two 
Houses of Parliament. 

The assurances of friendship which I receive 
from Foreign Powers, continue to be in all respects 
satisfactory. I need hardly assure you that My 
endeavours will at all times be steadily directed to 
the maintenance of these friendly relations. 

The Slave Trade, and practices scarcely to be 
distinguished from Slave Trading, still pursued in 
more than one quarter of the World, continue to 
attract the attention of My Government. In the 
South Sea Islands the name of the British Empire 
is even now dishonoured by the connection of some 
of My subjects with these nefarious practices; and 
in one of them the murder of an exemplary Prelate 
has cast fresh light upon some of their baleful 
consequences. A Bill will be presented to you 
for the purpose of facilitating the trial of offences 
of this class in Australasia; and endeavours will 
be made to increase, in other forms, the means of 
counteraction. 

Various communications have passed between 
My Government and the Government of France 
on the subject of the Commercial Treaty concluded 
in 1860. From a divergence in the views respec- 
tively entertained in relation to the value of Pro- 
tective Laws, this Correspondence has not brought 
about any agreement to modify that important 
Convention. On both sides, however, there has 
been uniformly declared an earnest desire that 


‘nothing shall occur to impair the cordiality which 


has long prevailed between the two Nations. 

Papers relating to these subjects will be laid 
before you. 

The Arbitrators appointed pursuant to the 
Treaty of Washington, tor the purpose of amicably 
settling certain claims known as the “ Alabama” 
Claims, have held their first meeting at Geneva. 

Cases have been laid before the Arbitrators on 
behalf of each Party to the Treaty. In the case 
so submitted on behalf of the United States, large 
Claims have been included, which are understood 
on My part not to be within the province of the 
Arbitrators. On this subject I have caused a 
friendly communication to be made to the Govern- 
ment of the United States. 

The Emperor of Germany has undertaken to 
arbitrate on the San Juan Water Boundary; and 
the Cases of the two Governments have been pre- 
sented to His Imperial Majesty. 

The Commission at Washington has been ap- 
pointed, and is in Session. The provisions of the 
Treaty which require the consent of the Parlia- 
ment of Canada await its assembling. 

Turning to domestic affairs, I have to apprise 
you that, with very few exceptions, Zreland has 
rade in that part 
of the United Kingdom is active, and the advance 


| of agricultural industry is remarkable. 


I am able also to congratulate you, so far as 
present experience allows a judgment to be passed, 
upon the perceptible diminution of the number 
both of the graver crimes, and of habitual cri- 
minals, in Great Britain. 


Gentlemen of the House of Commons, 


The principal Estimates for the — 
e 


year 
have been prepared. They will at once

before you, and I trust that you will find them 
suitable to the circumstances of the Country. 

The state of the Revenue affords favourable in- 
dications of the demand for employment and the 
general condition of the people ; indications which 
are corroborated by a decline of pauperism not 
inconsiderable. 


My Lords, and Gentlemen, 


Your attention will be invited to several mea- 
sures of acknowledged national interest. Among 
these there will be Bills for the improvement of 
public Education in Scotland, for the regulation 
of Mines, for the amendment of what is known as 
the Licensing System, and in relation to the Su- 
perior Courts of Justice and Appeal. 

In particular, a Bill having for its main object 
the establishment of Secret Voting, together with 
a measure relating to Corrupt Practices at Parlia- 
mentary Elections, will be immediately presented 
to you. 

Several measures of administrative improve- 
ment for Jreland will also be laid before you. 

There will likewise be laid before you legisla- 
tive provisions founded on the Report of the 
Sanitary Commission. 

You, My Lords and Gentlemen, will, I am con- 
fident, again apply your well-known assiduity to 
that work of legislation which, from the increasing 
exigencies of modern society, still seems to grow 
upon your hands. And I shall continue to rely, 
under Divine Providence, alike on the loyalty of 
My People and on your energy and wisdom, to 
sustain the constant efforts of the Crown to dis- 
charge the duties, to uphold the rights, and to 
defend the honour of the Empire. 


Resolved, That an humble Address be presented 
to Her Majesty, to convey the thanks of this House 
for the Most Gracious Speech delivered by Her 
Command to both Houses of Parliament : 

Humbly to assure Her Majesty that we heartily 
concur in Her expression of thankfulness to the 
Almighty for the branes of His Royal High- 
ness the Prince of Wales from the most imminent 
danger, and that we share Her Majesty’s recollec- 
tion of the profound and walveusdl sympathy 
shown by Her loyal people during the period of 
anxiety and trial : 

Humbly to thank Her Majesty for informing 
us that She purposes that, on Tuesday the 27th 
instant, conformably to the good and becoming 
usage of former days, the blessing thus received 
shall be acknowledged on behalf of the Nation by 
a Thanksgiving in the Metropolitan Cathedral ; 
and to assure Her Majesty that we rejoice to learn 
that it is Her desire and hope to be present at 
this celebration : 

To thank Her Majesty for having caused di- 
rections to be given to provide the necessary 
accommodation for the Members of the two Houses 
of Parliament : 

Humbly to thank Her Majesty for informing 
us that the assurances of friendship which She 
receives from Foreign Powers continue to be in 
all respects satisfactory, and to assure Her Ma- 
jesty that we are confident that Her endeavours 
will at all times be steadily directed to the main- 
tenance of these friendly relations : 

Humbly to join with Her Majesty in regretting 
that the Slave Trade, and practices scarcely to be 
distinguished from Slave Trading, are still pursued 
in more than one quarter of the World, and to 
assure Her Majesty that our earnest attention will 
be given to the proposals of Her Majesty’s Govern- 


: ment with reference to offences of this class in 


Australasia: 

To thank Her Majesty for informing us that 
various communications have passed between Her 
Government and the Government of France on 

Vou. 127. 


the subject of the Commercial Treaty concluded 
in 1860, and that from a divergence in the views 
respectively entertained in relation to the value of 
Protective Laws, this Correspondence has not 
brought about any agreement to modify that im- 
— Convention ; but that on hoth sides there 
as been uniformly declared an earnest desire that 
nothing shall occur to impair the cordiality which 
has long prevailed between the two Nations: 
Humbly to thank Her Majesty for informing us 
of the steps which have been taken in pursuance of 
the Treaty of Washington, and of the friendly 
communication which Her Majesty has caused to 
be made to the Government of the United States, 
with regard to Her Majesty’s understanding that 
certain Claims which have been included in the 
Case submitted on behalf of the United States, 
are not within the province of the Arbitrators : 
Humbly to assure Her Majesty that we rejoice 
to learn that, with very few exceptions, Ireland 
has been free from serious crime, and that Trade 
in that part of the United Kingdom ie active, and 
the advance of agricultural industry remarkable ; 
and that we share in Her Majesty’s satisfaction at 
the decrease of the number both of the graver 
crimes and habitual criminals in Great Britain: 
Humbly to thank Her Majesty for informing us 
that the principal Estimates for the coming year 
have been prepared, and will at once be laid before 
us; that the state of the Revenue affords favour- 
able indications of the demand for employment, 
and the general condition of the people ; and that 
these indications are corroborated by a decline of 
pauperism not inconsiderable : 
To assure Her Majesty that our serious con- 
sideration will be given to the measures of national 
interest which will be presented to us: 








Humbly to assure Her Majesty that we will de- 
| vote our best energies to the work of legislation, and 
that we trust that our endeavours, in unison with 
the loyalty of Her people, may, under Divine Pro- 
_vidence, sustain the constant efforts of the Crown 
|to discharge the duties, to uphold the rights, and to 
defend the honour of the Empire.

Mr. Speaker addressed the House, announcing Mr. Speaker's 
his intention of retiring from the Chair, as fol- Retirement. 
lows :— 

Before the commencement of Public Business, 

I would ask leave to say a few words to the House. 
I am very glad of the opportunity which has been 
permitted to me of again meeting this House, and 
of explaining to them in person the reasons why I 
feel it necessary to withdraw from the Chair. I 
hope the House will not think that I am running 
away from engagements entered into, or from 
labour which it would be in my power to perform. 
Such is not the case. I have been happy in the 
service of the House, for a considerable period of 
years, and I shall quit the Chair with regret. To 
preside in this House, to live in friendly inter- 
course with its Members, and to take some small 
share in smoothing the course of the great machine 
of Government, is, to me, honour sufficient. I 
have no ambition beyond it. But the labour of 
the House has of late years been very great, and 
last year it was excessive ; it much overtaxed my 
strength, and I have not been able, during the 
recess, to rally from the effects which it produced 
upon my health. I feel that I now could only 
offer to the House imperfect service; and, rather 
than that, I think it is more becoming to ask leave 
to withdraw. With regard to the exact time of 
my withdrawal, I should desire to consult the con- 
venience of the House. I shall resume the Chair 
to-morrow at the usual time. 

Upon which, Mr. Gladstone and Sir Jokn 
Pahkington severally addressed the House.

dress accordingly ; and the same was read, as 
followeth :-— 


Most Gracious Sovereign, 


We, Your Majesty’s most dutiful and loyal 
Subjects, the Commons of the United Kingdom 
of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliament as- 
sembled, beg leave to convey to Your Majesty 
our thanks for the gracious Speech which Your 
Majesty has commanded to be made to both 
Houses of Parliament. 

We humbly assure Your Majesty that we 
heartily concur in Your expression of thankfulness 
to the Almighty for the deliverance of His Royal 
Highness the Prince of Wales from the most 
imminent danger, and that we share Your Ma- 
jesty’s recollection of the profound and universal 
sympathy shown by Your loyal people during the 
period of anxiety and trial. 

We humbly thank Your Majesty for informing 
us that You purpose that, on Tuesday the 27th 
instant, conformably to the good and becoming 
usage of former days, the blessing thus received 
shall be acknowledged on behalf of the Nation by a 
Thanksgiving in the Metropolitan Cathedral ; and 
we assure Your Majesty that we rejoice to learn 
that it is Your desire and hope to be present at 
this celebration. 

We thank Your Majesty for having caused di 
rections to be given to provide the necessary 
accommodation for the Members of the two Houses 
of Parliament. 

We humbly thank Your Majesty for informing 
us that the assurances of friendship which You 
receive from Foreign Powers continue to be in 
all respects satisfactory, and we assure Your Ma- 
jesty that we are confident that Your endeavours 
will at all times be steadily directed to the main- 
tenance of these friendly relations. 

We humbly join with Your Majesty in regretting 
that the Slave Trade, and practices scarcely to be 
distinguished from Slave Trading, are still pursued 
in more than one quarter of the World, and we 
assure Your Majesty that our earnest attention 
will be given to the proposals of Your Majesty’s 
Government with reference to offences of this 
class in Australasia. 

We thank Your Majesty for informing us that 
various communications have passed between Your 
Government and the Government of France on 
the subject of the Commercial Treaty concluded 
in 1860, and that from a divergence in the views 
respectively entertained in relation to the value of 
Protective Laws, this Correspondence has not 
brought about any agreement to modify that 


7tl. February. 





{ 


| the general condition of the 





1872. 


and that we share in Your Majesty's satisfaction 
at the decrease of the number both of the graver 
crimes, and of habitual criminals, in Great Britain. 

We humbly thank Your Majesty for informing 
us that the principal Estimates for the coming year 
have been prepared, and will at once be laid before 
us; that the state of the Revenue affords favourable 
indications of the demand for employment, and 

eople; and that these 
indications are anetbaatel by a decline of pau- 
perism not inconsiderable. 

We assure Your Majesty that our serious con- 
sideration will be given to the measures of national 
interest which will be presented to us. 

We humbly assure Tous Majesty that we will 
devote our best energies to the work of legislation, 
and that we trust that our endeavours, in unison 
with the loyalty of Your people, may, under Divine 
Providence, sustain the constant efforts of the 
Crown to discharge the duties, to uphold the rights, 
and to defend the honour of the Empire.

On the Motion of Mr. Gladstone, which was 
seconded by Mr. Disraeli: 

Resolved, Nemine Contradicente, That the Thanks 
of this House be given to Mr. Speaker for his 
distinguished services in the Chair during a period 
of nearly fifteen years; that he be assured that 
this House fully appreciates the zeal and ability 
with which he has discharged the duties of his high 
office, through many laborious Sessions, and the 
study, care, and firmness with which he has main- 
tained its privileges and dignity ; and that this 
House feels the strongest sense of his unremitting 
attention to the constantly increasing business of 
Parliament, and of his uniform urbanity, which 
have secured for him the respect and esteem of 
this House. 

Then Mr. Speaker addressed the House, as 
follows (all the Members being uncovered): 

It would be difficult for me to make an acknow- 
ledgment, in suitable terms, for the distinguished 
on and the high honour which you have 
conferred upon me. When fifteen years ago Lord 
Palmerston wrote to ask whether ne might propose 








my name for the office of Speaker, I did not at 
once consent. I felt much hesitation. I considered 
myself little prepared for the duties of the office, 
and the proposal had taken me by surprise. It' 
was only upon the urgency of my friends that I 
consented to undertake the post. ‘The House was 
pleased to accept me on probation, and without 
question. In consequeace of the disposition then 
manifested, I entertained a hope that I might 
count upon receiving the general good will of the 
House, and not of one party only. I have not 
been disappointed in this hope—witness my re- 
election, in three successive Parliaments—still 
more completely by what has taken place to-day. 
I received from my predecessor a well-ordered 
inheritance. 1 trust that I shall transmit it to my 
successor unimpaired, and perhaps in some points 
strengthened. I have received the valuable ser- 
vices of the gentleman who now worthily occupies 
the chief place at your Table—distinguished not 
only for his great attainments in Parliamentary 
lore, but on all points, for a sound and discri- 
minating judgment. For such humble services as 
I have been able to perform, you have this day 
presented me with the greatest reward to which 
any public servant can aspire. I will not further 
detain the House: I will only offer a fervent | 
prayer for the continued honour of the House, and 
for the well-being of all and each of its Mem- 
bers. 

Resolved, That the Thanks of this House be 

iven to Mr. Speaker for what he has said this 
a to the House, and that the same be printed in 
the Votes of this day, and entered in the Journal 
of this House. 

Resolved, Nemine Contradicente, That an humble 
Address be presented to Her Majesty, praying 
Her Majesty that She will be most graciously 
sleased to confer some signal mark of Her Royal 
Paveur upon the Right Honourable John Evelyn 
Denison, Speaker of this House, for his great and 
eminent services performed to his country during 
the important period in which he has, with such 
distinguished ability and integrity, presided in the 
Chair of this House. 

Ordered, That the said Address be presented to 
Her Majesty, by such Members of this House as

| A Motion was made, and the Question being Elementary 
| proposed, That, in the opinion of this House, the Education Act. 
provisions of the Elementary Education Act are 
defective, and its working unsatisfactory; and 
particularly that it fails to secure the general 
election of School Beards in towns and rural 
districts: That it does not render obligatory the 
attendance of children at school: That it deals in 
a partial and irregular manner with the remission 
and payment of school fees by School Boards: 
That it allows School Boards to pay fees out of 
rateslevied upon the community, to denominational 
schools, over which the ratepayers have no con- 
trol: That it permits School Boards to use the 
money of the ratepayers for the purpose of im- 
arting dogmatic religious instruction in schools 
established by School Boards: That by the con- 
cession of these permissive powers it provokes 
religious discord throughout the country ; and by 
the exercise of them it violates the rights of con- 
science ; .

to give directions, that there be laid before this

 Jumna,” and “ Euphrates,” showing also the Ex- 
pense of conducting the Service in carrying the 
Indian Reliefs to and from Jndia {in continuation of 
Parliamentary Paper, No. 250, of Session 1871). 


A Motion was made, and the Question being 
proposed, That it is expedient to remedy the in- 
justice of imposing Taxation for National objects 
on one description of property only, and therefore 
that no legislation with reference to Local Taxation 
will be satisfactory which does not provide, either 
in whole or in part, for the relief of occupiers and 
Owners in counties and boroughs from charges 
imposed on ratepayers for the administration of 
justice, police, and lunatics, the expenditure for 
such purposes being almost entirely independent 
of local control ; 

An Amendment was proposed to be made to the 
Question, by leaving out from the first word 
“ That” to the end of the Question, in order to 
add the words “ while it is desirable to relieve 
‘* Ratepayers, in whole or in part, from payments 
“for national purposes not under local control, 
* and to abolish, as far as may be practicable, exemp- 
* tions from liability to rates, it is important, with 
“a view to the progress of legislation for sanitary 
** and other local purposes, that rates for new ob- 
“ jects, instead of falling directly on the occupiers 
“of rateable property, should be distributed in 
* England, as in Scotland and Ireland, equitably 
“ between the owners and the occupiers,” instead 
thereof. 

And the Question being proposed, That the 
words proposed to be left out stand part of the 
Question ; 


And the House having continued to sit till after 
Twelve of the clock on Wednesday morning ; 


Wednesday, \7th April, 1872: 


And the Question being put ;

The Noes to the Left. 


{Sir Massey Lopes, \ 
Tellers for the Yeass) Colonel eeslles | 259, 


Tellers for the N oes, | Mr. ws ve . } 159. 

So it was resolved in the Affirmative. 

Then the main Question being put; 

Resolved, That it is expedient to remedy the 
injustice of imposing Taxation for National objects 
on one description of property only, and therefore 
that no legislation with reference to Local Taxa- 
tion will be satisfactory which does not provide, 
either in whole or in part, for the relief of occu- 
piers and owners in counties and boroughs from 
charges imposed on ratepayers for the administra- 
tion of justice, police, and lunatics, the expenditure 
for such purposes being almost entirely independent 
of local control. 


Resolved, That an humble Address be presented 
to Her Majesty, that She will be graciously pleased 
to give directions, that there be laid before this 
House, a Return of the Sums expended on the 
improved Ovens in the Control Bakeries at Chel- 
sea, London, and Chatham, and the Dates of the

Ordered, That the Committee on Group 1 of 
Railway Bills have leave to make a Special Report 
in the case of the Mid-Zondon Railway Bill. 

Mr. Hardcastle reported from the said Com- 
mittee ; That in the case of the said Bill they had 
agreed to the following Special Report :—The 
Committee have considered the proposal contained 
in the Bill before them with the greatest attention. 
They are of opinion that the scheme as laid down 
upon the plan, is generally well-devised, and that 
the injury inflicted by the removal of houses on 
the line is to a considerable extent counterbalanced 
by the increased facilities of locomotion which 
would be afforded by workmen’s trains. They 
also think that in all future schemes of Metropo- 
litan improvement, special provision should be 
introduced for the purpose of supplying other 
habitations for those of the working-classes who 
may be displaced by such improvements. It also 
appears to the Committee that the state of street 
traffic in the City of London is such that some such 
street as that proposed in the Bill, will before long 
become an absolute necessity, and that whensoever 
made it must be regarded in the light of a great 
public improvement. Lastly, the Committee see 
no reason to question the bona fides of the scheme. 
They feel, however, that great caution ought to 
be exercised in sanctioning any undertaking which 
involves so vast an outlay without some clear 
notion how the requisite funds are to be provided, 
and they think it due to themselves as well as to 
the Promoters of the Bill, to state that it is this 
consideration which has decided them to refuse the 
Preamble. 

Mr. Hardcastle further reported from the said 
Committee; That they had examined the allega- 
tions contained in the Preamble of the Bill, but 
the same had not been proved to their satisfac- 
tion.

The Parliamentary Elections Act, 1868. 

Election Petition for County of Ga/way. 

Dublin, 11th June 1872. 

To the Right Honourable The Speaker 

of the House of Commons. 

In the matter of a Petition presented to the Court 
of Common Pleas by Captain the Honourable 
William le Poer Trench, candidate at the last Elec- 
tion for the County of Galway, against Captain 
John Philip Nolan, who was returned at the last 
Parliamentary Election for said County, by which 
Petition (a Copy whereof I transmit herewith) it 


was prayed that it might be determined that the | 
said William le Poer Trench was duly elected, and | 


13th June. 


1872. 


have set forth in the Schedule number “ One” to 
this Certificate annexed, were guilty, at and pre- 
vious to said Election, of undue influence, within 
the meaning of the provisions of said Act. 

And I do further report to Mr. Speaker that 
the Roman Catholic clergymen whose names have 
been set forth in the Schedule number “ Two” to 
this Certificate annexed, being the persons of the 
same name included in Schedule “ One,” by threats 
and denunciations ef temporary injury, and spiritual 
a uttered during or Seateailiatah after 

ivine Service, and from the altars of their re- 
spective places of worship, and otherwise, as de- 
tailed in the evidence, intimidated and unduly in- 
fluenced great numbers of the Roman Catholic 
electors of such County to vote for the said John 
Philip Nolan, or to refrain from voting against him. 
And further, it was proved that numbers of such 
electors who had promised to vote for the said 
William le Poer Trench afterwards had been com- 
pelled to vote for the said John Philip Nolan, or 
to refrain from voting for said William le Poer 
Trench, and had avowed they were so compelled 
by said intimidation and undue influence. 

And | further report that, although I have 
found and reported that the Most Reverend John 
MacHale, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of 
Tuam, and the Most Reverend John Mc Evilly, the 
Roman Catholic Bishop of Galway, were guilty of 
undue influence, it was not proved that the said 
Most Reverend John MacHale, Roman Catholic 
Archbishop of Tuam, or that the said Most Re- 
'verend John McEvilly, Roman Catholic Bishop of 
\( ialway, sanctioned or had taken part in such 
denunciations as before-mentioned, And the Most 
| Reverend the Roman Catholic Bishop of Galway 
proved that any such denunciations in a Roman 
Catholic chapel, and more especially if made 
| against any person by name, are in direct violation 
of the ordinances of the Roman Catholic Church in 
| force in Ireland, as enjoined by certain Synodical 
decrees, furnished to the Court, and which are 
placed upon the Notes of Evidence. 

And I have further to report that the Reverend 
Patrick Loftus, one of the clergymen whose names 
appear in said Schedules, was proved by the testi- 
mony of several faithworthy witnesses to have, in 
connection with such Election, denounced from 
the altar of his church, in the presence of his 








jonenaen on the Sabbath, the wife of a gentle- 


man, an Elector for said County, and resident in 
his parish (both he and his said wife professing the 
Protestant religion), and to have made other 
statements material to the inquiry, which the said 
Reverend John Loftus denied on his oath; and I, 
being satisfied of his wilful untruth, was then of 
opinion and so declared, and am now of opinion that 


ought to have been returned, or that the said John | in his evidence before me he committed perju 


Philip Nolan was not duly elected or returned. | 


The trial of this Petition took place before me 
at Galway, in the said County, upon the first day 
of April last, and was continued, from day to day, | 
until the 27th of May, in presence of the parties, 
their Counsel, and Agents, and, having heard the 
evidence which was given and counsel for both 
parties, I did then, at the conclusion of said trial, | 
determine, and do accordingly certify that the said 
John Philip Nolan was not duly elected to serve | 
in Parliament for the said County of Galway, and | 
ought not to have been returned, and that the said | 
John ~ Nolan had been by himself and his | 
agents guilty of undue influence at such Election, 
within the meaning of “ The Corrupt Practices | 
Prevention Act, 1854.” 

I further determined, and do certify, that intimi- 
dation and undue influence, within the meaning of 
the Corrupt Practices Prevention Act, did exten- 
sively prevail in the said County at and previous 
to such Election. 

I further certify that the persons whose names I | 





~ of the polling, at some of the polling-places 


ry. 
And I have further to report to Mr. Seeder, 
that the Reverend Peter Conway mentioned in 
said Schedules is the same Reverend Peter Conway 
mentioned in the fifth resolution of the Report 
of the Select Committee appointed to try and de- 
termine the Mayo Election Petition, 1857, which 

report was brought before me during the inquiry. 
And I have further to report that a system of 
intimidation prevailed throughout said County, for 
many weeks preceding said Election, to prevent 
voters recording their votes for the said William le 
Poer Trench, and that such intimidation was exer- 
cised, amongst other ways, by means of nocturnal 
visits to the houses of voters, and threats there 
uttered, and by the posting, and sending through 
the post office, threatening notices and p boven to 
voters, and wives of voters, with a view to intimi- 
date such voters from voting, as they had pre- 


_ viously promised and intended, for the said William 


le Poer Trench. 
And I further report to Mr. Speaker that on the 


in 








35 VicrorRia. 


in said County, especially in the towns of Tuam, 
Oughterard, and Ballinasloe, violent mobs were 
organised and did attack voters who were pro- 
ceeding to the poll, to vote for the said William 
le Poer Trench, and returning therefrom, and that 
the lives of voters and agents for the said William 
le Poer Trench were endangered by such mobs, 
and that in one part of such County the high road 


13th June. 





was cut across to prevent voters reaching the poll. 
And [ have further to report that the Reverend 
Patrick J. O’ Brien, parish priest in the archdio-| 
cese of Tuam, who was the proposer of the said | 
John Philip Nolan at said Election, publicly an- 
nounced on the morning of the polling, at the 
polling place in Tuam, to a gentleman of the Pro- 
testant persuasion, who had there voted for the 
said William le Poer Trench, that “ there would 
not be a hair of his head disturbed ;” that nothing 
would be done to him; “ that they were all rene- 
gade Roman Catholics, who would be excoriated.” 
I have further to report that the voters through- 





out the County were, on the day of poling: syste- 
matically conducted to the booths by the Roman 


Catholic clergy, who interfered actively in such | 


polling, and were in so doing acting as the agents 
of the said John Philip Nolan. 

And I certify that such acts and practices of the 
said Roman Catholic clergymen in the several ways 
and on the occasions to which I have referred, and, 
as otherwise fully detailed, not only in the evi- 
dence for and on behalf of the Petitioner, but upon 
the examination and cross-examination of the wit- 
nesses, lay and clerical, produced to give evidence 
for the said John Philip Nolan, was inconsistent 
with the free exercise of the franchise by the elec- 
tors of said County, and subversive of freedom of 
election therein. 

And I have further to report to Mr. Speaker 
that, during the course of the trial, efforts were 
made to intimidate witnesses who hadeither given, 
or were about to give, evidence before me on such 
trial, in consequence of which I was obliged to 
commit to prison two persons, viz., Michael Roach 
and Patrick Barrett, for contempt of Court; the 
said Patrick Barrett being the person named in 
the evidence who was engaged actively, previous 
to such Election, insulting and intimidating elec- 
tors, in the interest of said Petitioner, in language 
so obscene that a witness who deposed thereto 
refused to state it otherwise than in writing, as 
appears on the notes. 

And further that, in one case, a witness who 
was in Court and about to be called before me by 
the Petitioner’s agent, was addressed by two Roman 
Catholic clergymen, the Reverend James Staunton 
and Sewent Patrick Lavelle, on the subject of 
the evidence he was about to give, and particularly 
told by the said Reverend James Staunton that 
“there were two ways of telling the truth,” and 
otherwise cautioned, as appears on the notes of 
evidence, and the said witness was some days after- 
wards severely beaten on the high road, and was 
produced before me to make affidavit of the treat- 
ment he had so received, but in consequence of 
the then late period of the inquiry I was unable 
to do more than remit the case to the ordinary 
tribunals. 

And I further certify that it appeared to me on 
the trial of such petition that certain questions of 





law required further consideration by the Court 
of Common Pleas before finally determining the 
matters referred to me, and that accordingly I 
should postpone granting this my Certificate until 


the determination of such questions by the said | 


Court of Common Pleas pursuant to ‘“* The Par- 
liamentary Elections Act, 1868.” 

And I further certify that I submitted such 
questions to said Court, in a Case prepared by me 
for the purpose, and that, said Case having come 
on before said Court for argument, the Court, 
Vou. 127. 








259 


after hearing counsel for said William le Poer 
Trench, and for said John Philip Nolan respec- 
tively, pronounced their judgment and determined 
thereon in answer to said questions to the follow- 
ing effect, videlicet: ‘‘ That the electors who con- 
stituted the majority of said Respondent were fixed 
with sufficient knowledge of the disqualification of 
the said John Philip Nolan and should have acted 
on such disqualification, and refrained from votin 
for said John Philip Nolan. And further the ald 
Court adjudged and determined that the said Ho- 
nourable Wiltiam le Poer Trench, there being no 
disqualification on his part, was entitled to be 
declared duly elected for said County.” 

And I beg to refer to copies of said Case, and 
said Judgment or Determination, which I transmit 
herewith. 

And I further certify that, having regard to said 
Judgment and Determination, I have accordingly 
determined, and do determine, that the said Ho- 
nourable William le Poer Trench was entitled to 
be declared duly elected for said County of Gal- 
way as representative in Parliament for said 
County. And I do accordingly certify that he 
was so elected. 

And I beg further to state that the copy of the 
evidence given at the trial, as taken down by the 
shorthand writer of the House of Commons, and 
as furnished by him to me, accompanies this my 
Certificate.

To the Right Honourable The Speaker 
of the House of Commons. 


Common Pleas. 
The Parliamentary Elections Act, 1868. 


In the matter of the Election Petition for the 
County of Galway, between 


The Honourable William 
Petitioner ; 
Captain John Philip Nolan, Respondent. 
Case for the Determination of the Court of 
Common Pleas. 


I hereby certify that the above Petition to 
which I refer came on for trial before me at Gal- 
way, on the Ist of April last, and that, said trial 
having been continued from day to day, at the 
conclusion thereof, on the 27th day of May instant, 
it appeared to me requisite that before finally de- 
termining as to that portion of the Petition which 
prayed that the said Petitioner might be declared 
duly elected, and that he should have been re- 
turned, I should, under the 12th section of said 
Act, reserve certain questions of law for the con- 
sideration of the Court of Common Pleas, and that 
I should accordingly postpone the granting the 
Certificate directed by the said Act until the de- 
termination of such questions by the said Court. 

I came to the conclusion, as a matter of fact, 
that the said Respondent had, previously to the 
said Election, by himself and his agents, com- 
mitted the offence of undue influence upon the 
electors in order to induce and compel such 
electors to give their votes for him, or to refrain 
from voting against him at said Election, contrary 
to law and against the provisions of the statutes 
against such practices made and provided, and 
especially against the provisions of the statute 
17 and 18 Victoria, chap, 102, section 5. 

It was proved before me that the number of 
the electors on the registry for such County was 
5,346, but that, making allowance for double 
entries and deaths, the real number of electors 
available to vote at the time of such Election, 
which took place on the 6th of February in this 
year, did not exceed 4,686, of these 2,823 voted 
for the Respondent, and 658 for the Petitioner. 
The Respondent was declared by the Sheriff duly 
elected. 

It was further proved before me that such un- 
due influence had been practised upon the electors 
of the County, and had been carried out in pur- 
suance of arrangements made by the said Re- 


Le Poer 


Trench, 


13th June. 





1872. 


| spondent and his agents previous to such Election, 


and especially during the months of November and 
December of the last year, and the month of 
January of the present year. 

It was also proved that certain of the prelates of 
the Roman Catholic Church had, by letters written 
to and read at public meetings, and by resolutions 
adopted at meetings and munne of the Roman 
Catholic clergy at which they presided, and which 
resolutions were printed, valibhed. and made 
known throughout the County by the Respondent, 
and his agents aided and assisted in the exercise 
of such undue influence. It was also proved that 
many of the Roman Catholic clergy discharging 
ecclesiastical duties in said County had by their 
speeches at public meetings, held in various parts 
of the County, commencing on the 19th of Decem- 
ber of last year, and continued through the month 
of January in the present year, and by denuncia- 
tions and threats of temporal injury and spiritual 
punishment uttered during and after Divine ser- 
vice, and in the presence of their congregations, 
had intimidated and unduly influenced the electors 
of such County, and that the said Respondent had 
made himself liable for their acts. 

It was also admitted upon both sides on such 
trial that at least nine-tenths of the electors were 
members of the Roman Catholic Church. 

I was satisfied that by the foregoing and other 
acts of intimidation proved against the Respondent 
and his agents the status of the said Respondent 
as a candidate qualified to be elected was destroyed, 
and that he was disqualified to be elected for the 
said County by such acts committed by him and 
his agents as hereinbefore described, and that such 
disqualification existed previous to the day of 
nomination for such Election, and that the know- 
ledge of such acts, and especially of such intimida- 
tion and undue influence had become generally 











known through and amongst the great body of the 
electors throughout the County, and especially 
amongst those who afterwards voted for the said 
Respondent. 

It was further proved before me, that large 
numbers of the electors who had previously de- 
clared their intention to vote for said Petitioner 
had been compelled to vote for said Respondent, 
or to refrain from voting for the said Petitioner, 
and had avowed they were so compelled by such 
intimidation and undue influence. It was proved 
that the exercise of such intimidation and undue 
influence had become publicly known amongst 
the electors of such County previous to the day of 
nomination. 

It was further proved before me, that on the 3rd 
day of February, “ being the day of nomination,” 
the said Petitioner caused a notice to be posted at 
and in the immediate vicinity of the place of nomi- 
nation for said County, and to be advertised in 
several of the newspapers published in the County, 
and to be extensively posted in the different poll- 
ing-places for such County, cautioning the electors 
that said Respondent was disqualified from being 
elected for the said County as set forth in said 
Petition. . 

It was further proved that at each of the different 
polling-places and of the respective polling-booths 
the said Petitioner had persons stationed with 
copies of such notices with the view of serving 
them on the electors previous to their recording 


| their votes at the poll. 


It was further proved that these notices were 
served at each of the polling-places (with one ex- 
ception) on some of the electors previous to their 
voting, the numbers of such services varying con- 
siderably in different polling-places, but not amount- 


ing im the aggregate of personal services to more 


than a few hundreds; and furthermore it was 
proved that attempts were made to serve numbers 
of such notices on the voters as they came to the 








poll, 











35 Vicrorta. 


poll, who either refused to receive them or were 


—— receiving them by the confusion in the 
oths, sometimes by the agents of the Respondent, 


and frequently by the members of the Roman 
Catholic clergy who were engaged conducting the 
electors to the poll. In the excepted booth to 
which I have referred the person placed to serve 
the notices did not do so until after the electors 
had polled, having been told by one of the agents 


of the Respondent that was the proper time to 


do so. 

It was further proved that numbers of those 
notices were scattered about on the floors and 
tables of the polling-booths. They were all in the 


English language, and it was proved that many of 


the electors could not speak English. 
It was, on the foregoing facts, contended before 


me, on behalf of the Petitioner, that, the status of 


the said Respondent being destroyed thereby, the 
Petitioner was the only Candidate before the con- 
stituency eligible to receive their votes and be de- 
clared elected, and that I should accordingly 
declare him duly elected. 

It was, however, contended on the part of the 
Respondent that, notwithstanding the said Re- 
spondent being found ineligible, yet that the votes 
given to him were not thrown away, as the electors 
were not bound to act upon his ineligibility, even 
though made known to them by sufficient notice, 
until so declared by some competent legal tribunal; 
and, furthermore, that even if they were bound to 
act upon such ineligibility, though not so pre- 
viously fuund, knowledge thereof was not suffi 
ciently brought home to a sufficient number of 


electors to displace the majority of the said Re- | 


spondent, and to justify me in declaring said | 
Petitioner duly elected. | 

I therefore request the opinion and determina- | 
tion of the Court of Common Pleas upon the fol- 
lowing questions : 


Ist. Were the electors who constituted the 
majority of said Respondent fixed with suffi- 
cient knowledge of the disqualification of the 
said Respondent, and should they have acted 
updn such disqualification and refrained from 
voting for said Respondent? 

2nd. Was the Petitioner, there being no 
disqualification on his part, entitled to be de- 
clared elected for said County ?

words “the recent action of the French Govern- 
‘*‘ ment in imposing ‘ Differential Duties’ on mer- 
‘“¢ chandise carried in British Ships in the ‘ Indirect 
‘«¢ Trade,’ is inconsistent with the policy mutually 
“ agreed upon between the two Countries in 1866; 
“and that such policy, whilst likely to entail 
“ serious injury upon French Trade and Manu- 
“ factures, is calculated, in the present circum- 
“ stances of the ‘ Carrying Trade,’ to inflict injury 
“ upon British Shipping, and to impair the rela- 
“€ tions and intercourse between the two Countries, 
‘‘ which have grown up under recent commercial 
** arrangements, more especially when it is con- 
‘sidered that other Ewurvpean flags are (under 
“‘ Treaties recently made with them) free from the 
‘¢ restrictions now imposed upon British Shipping,” 
instead thereof. ,

words proposed to be left out stand part of the

Mr. William Edward Forster reported from the 


assigned to the Lords for disagreeing to certain of 
the Amendments made by their Lordships to the 
Parliamentary and Municipal Elections Bill; 
That they had drawn up Reasons accordingly, 
which they had directed him to report to the 
House ; and the same were read, as follow: 

The Commons disagree to the Amendment 
made by the Lords in Clause 2, for the following 
Reason : 

Because the Act should require the voter to 
secretly mark his vote on the ballot paper, 
and to fold it up so as to conceal his vote, 
before placing it in the ballot box; but the 
Commons propose to amend Clause 2 by 
the insertion of words requiring a number 
to be placed on the back of the ballot paper, 
and the same number, together with the 
register number of the voter, to be placed 
on its counterfoil, thereby agreeing with so 
much of the Lords’ Amendments as enables 
a vote to be struck off, which has been 
declared by a competent court to be invalid, 
certain safeguards for secrecy being pro- 
vided by subsequent consequential Amend- 
ments. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendments in 
age 3, lines 22, 23, and 24, for the following 
eason : 

Because it is inexpedient to substitute a central 
for a local officer. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendments in 
Clause 4, for the following Reason: 

Because the Act should enjoin and maintain 
secrecy of voting. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendment in 
page, 4 line 11, for the following Reason: 

Because it is not expedient further to control 
the discretion of the local authorities with 
regard to the division of counties into 
polling districts. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendments in 
page 5, lines 26, 28, for the following Reason: 

Because it is expedient that a school receiving 
an annual grant from moneys voted by 
Parliament should be used for taking the 
poll at a Parliamentary election. 

The Commons disagree to Clause A., for the 
following Reason: 


Because it is not expedient to alter in this 
Act the hours of polling. 


The Commons disagree to the Amendment in 
age 9, line 26, for the Reason given for disagree- 
ing to the Amendment in page 5, lines 26, 28. 
he Commons disagree to the Amendment in 
page 14, line 36, for the Reason given for disagree- 


Ynad . 








July. 313 


The Commons disagree to Clause B., for the 
following Reason: 

Because it is more expedient to insert its 
provisions with slight alterations as a rule 
in the Schedule. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendment in 
page 19, line 36, for the following Reason: 

Because, having regard to the importance of 
this Act, to the extent to which it affects 
the constitution of this House, and to the 
attention which has beep given by this 
House to its provisions, it is not expedient 
and would not be in accordance with pre- 
cedent that it should be made temporary. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendments in 
page 24, lines 14, 16, for the Reason given for 
disagreeing to the Amendment in Clause 2. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendments in 
page 24, lines 25, 26, 33, page 25, line 34, page 27, 
line 18, for the following Reason: 

Because it is expedient that a voter should 
produce at the polling booth a declaration 
before a magistrate that he is unable to 
read. 

The Commons disagree to the new Rule (41.) 
in page 27, for the following Reason : 

Because provision for the public inspection 
and for the supply of copies of registers ot 
voters has been already made before the 
insertion of such rule. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendments in 
page 38, lines 6, 12, for the Reason given for 
disagreeing to the Amendment in Clause 2. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendment in 
page 39, for the Reason given for disagreeing to 
the Amendments in page 24, lines 25, 26. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendments in 
page 43, and page 50, line 38, for the Reason 
given for disagreeing to Clause A. 

The said Reasons, being read a second time, were 
agreed to. 

Ordered, That a Message be sent to the Lords

and Amendments): And that the Clerk do carry

The Commons disagree to the Amendments

following Reason : 

Because, while they approve of the object 
of these Amendments, which is to accommodate 
the time for the election of School Boards to 
the convenience of the several localities, ac- 
cording to their various circumstances, they are 
of opinion that it cannot be carried out by means 
of these Clauses as amended by the Lords.

other objects of Clauses 9 and 10, will be satis- 
factorily attained by leaving out these Clauses, 
and, in lieu thereof, inserting Clause T.

And the Question being again proposed :—The 
House resumed the said adjourned Debate. 

An Amendment was proposed to be made to the 
Question, by leaving out from the word “ That” to 
the end of the Question, in order to add the words 
* this House, considering the statements of the 
“late Lord Mayo that ‘a feeling of discontent 
* and dissatisiaction exists among every class, both 
* European and Native, in eur [ndian Empire, on 
* account of the constant increase of taxation which 
* has for years been going on,’ and that ‘ the con- 
** tinuance of that feeling is a political danger the 
* magnitude of which can hardly be over-estimated,’ 
* is of opinion that the Income Tax, which is gene- 


rally admitted to be unsuited to the people of 


India, might during the coming financial year be 
dispensed with; and that other Taxes exception- 
ally burdensome to the people of India might 
be considerably reduced, if the finances of that 
Country were administered with adequate care 
and economy,” instead thereof 

And the Question being proposed, That the words 

proposed to be left out stand part of the Question ;

ment by the Earl Granville, in pursuance of Her 
Majesty’s Command, as followeth: 


My Lords, and Gentlemen, 


The time has now arrived when you may pro- 
perly relinquish the performance of your arduous 
duties for a term of repose which has been honour- 
ably earned by your devant assiduity. 

I rejoice to inform you that the controversy 
which had arisen between My Government and 
the Government of the United States, in conse- 
quence of the presentation of the American Claims 
for indirect losses under the Treaty of Washington, 
has been composed by a spontaneous declaration of 
the Arbitrators entirely consistent with the views 
which I announced to you at the opening of the 
Session. In concurrence with your action on the 
pact of the United Kingdom, the Parliament of 
Canada has passed the Acts necessary to give effect 
to the Treaty within the Dominion. All the ar- 
rangements contemplated by that instrument are, 
therefore, now in progress; and I reflect with satis- 
faction that the subjects with which it has dealt no 
longer offer any impediment to a perfect concord 
between two kindred Nations. 

Since I addressed you at the commencement of 
the Session I have received from the Government 
of France the formal notice which would bring to 
an end the Commercial Treaty of 1860. That 
Government, however, has indicated a desire for 
further Communications. In any Correspondence 
on this subject I shall be guided by an earnest 

anxiety

anxiety to secure attention to the just claims of My 
Subjects, by the friendly feeling which has so long 
united the two Countries, and by My conviction of 
the moral as well as material benefits to be derived 
by each from a free intercourse between them. 

I have had great satisfaction in concluding with 
the Emperor of Germany a Treaty in conformity 
with the provisions of the Act of 1870, for the 
mutual surrender of Fugitive Criminals. I am 
engaged in framing similar arrangements with 
other Powers. : 

My Government has taken steps intended to 
prepare the way for dealing more effectually with 
the Slave Trade on the East Coast of Africa. 

I have cheerfully given My assent to an Act of 
the Legislature of the Cape Colony for the estab- 
lishment in that Colony of what is now generally 
known as responsible Government. 


Gentlemen of the House of Commons, 


My acknowledgments are due to you for the 
ample provision which you have made for the 
varied exigencies of the public service. 


My Lords, and Gentlemen, 


Although the wants and expectations of the 
Country seem to outstrip every effort of Parlia- 
ment in its career of legislative improvement, I 
notice with satisfaction the main additions which 
you have been enabled to make during the present 
year to our Laws. 

The Act having reference to outrages upon 
Natives in the Islands of the Pacijic is well de- 
signed, by providing for the more easy and effec- 
tual prevention and punishment of the offences at 
which it is aimed, to promote the ends of humanity 
and the honour of the Empire. 

The Act for the Localisation of the Army, while 
it strengthens the defensive system of the Country, 
will lend an indispensable aid in effecting those 
important reforms which have been approved by 
Parliament. 

The Act which establishes the Ballot will assist 
to secure alike the independence of the Voter and 
the tranquillity and purity of Elections for Mem- 
bers to serve in Parliament. 

Although you have been unable, during the 
present Session, to mature any measure directed 
against Corrupt Practices in the choice of Mem- 
bers of Parliament, I observe with pleasure that, 
the cognate subject of Municipal Elections has had 
your attention, and that you have presented to 
Me a Law which is well calculated to check exist- 
ing evils, and which provides a Tribunal for trying 
the validity of such Elections. 

By the Scottish Education Act you have made 
provision for the further extension and greater 
efficacy of the training of the young throughout 
Scotland, in accordance with the conscientious and 
deep-rooted convictions of the People, and with 
the principles of Religious Freedom. 

The Act for establishing a Board of Local 
Government in /reland, modelled on the English 
Statute of 1871, supplies a machinery for giving 





10th August. 439 


effect to many useful Laws, and promises to ex- 
tend within that portion of the United Kingdom 
the solid benefits of Popular Local Institutions. 

The measure for the Amendment of the Act of 
Uniformity, based as it is upon careful inquiry 
and on a large amount of ascertained consent, has, 
without offence or shock, introduced useful modi- 
fication into an ancient system of Divine Worship, 
to which a large portion of My People are warmly 
attached. 

The Public Health Act, though it does not em- 
brace all the enactments which have been desired, 
has, by the establishment of efficient and duly 
organised Local Authorities, done much both for 
the enforcement of the present Sanitary Laws, 
and for rendering more easy what yet remains to 
be accomplished in the way of legislative provision 
on the subject. 

The Act for regulating the Custody and Manage- 
ment of the large Funds held by the Court of 
Chancery will relieve the numerous class of Suitors 
in that Court from risks and inconveniences to 
which they may heretofore have been more or less 
exposed, and will likewise tend to an increased 
stability of our finance. . 

I am gratified to find that by the Acts for the 
Regulation of Mines you have been enabled to 
supply new securities for the safety and advantage 
of the large bodies of My Subjects engaged in this 
great branch of industry. 

The enactments embodied in the measure for 
the regulation of the Licensing System constitute 
a sensible improvement of the existing Law, and 
I trust that the several regulations of Police 
which they include will be found conducive to 
public order. 

I am able to speak favourably both of the tran- 
quillity and of the growing prosperity of Ireland. 

The Revenue is in a flourishing condition. 

While I cordially congratulate you on the ac- 
tivity of trade and industry, I hope it will be borne 
in mind that periods of unusually rapid changes in 
the prices of commodities and in the value of 
labour are likewise periods in which there is more 
than ever a call for the exercise of moderation and 
forethought. 

In bidding you farewell, I ask you to join with 
Me in acknowledging the abundant mercies of the 
Almighty, and in mploring their continuance. 


Then a Commission for proroguing the Parlia- partiament 
prorogued. 


ment was read. 


After which the Lord High Chancellor said : 


My Lords, and Gentlemen, 


By virtue of Her Majesty’s Commission, under 
the Great Seal, to us and other Lords directed, 
and now read, we do, in Her Majesty’s Name, and 
in obedience to Her Commands, prorogue this 
Parliament to Friday the 25th day of October 
next, to be then here holden; and this Parliament 
is accordingly prorogued to Friday the 25th day 
of October next.
