Mr. Fitzgeraldrose, pursuant to notice, to move for certain papers relative to the mode of raising money by the Grand Jury Presentments in Ireland. He wished to avoid any discussion on the subject till the papers were laid on the table; but he would state the course he meant to pursue, and the object he had in view, in order to prevent misconception. He moved for these papers on two grounds: first, with reference to the amount of the sums raised, and secondly, with respect to the mode of raising them. He did not mean to question the powers of the Grand Juries, or to transfer these powers to any other quarter. But he wished to have some more equal mode of collecting the tax, and a better mode of accounting for the money. He intended once to include all this in a bill relative to the Irish roads; but the subject was so extensive and important that it would be better to refer it to a committee of the house, by which means it might come more particularly under the review of such as were acquainted with the mode of raising, applying and accounting for county money in England. An account of the amount had been already laid on the table. What he wanted now was an account of the mode of application, of the way in which the money was accounted for, and of the time the grand juries had for the 1251 performance of this duty. He therefore moved first, for an account of the presentments for raising money during the spring and summer assizes in 1807, specifying the mode of application. 2d. For copies of the Quere Books in the hands of the Irish treasurer, as far as related to the above period, with a view to shew the method of accounting. And 3dly, For the number or informations and bills of indictment before the grand juries, during the same period, and the time the assizes continued.—After some observations from Mr. Foster and sir J. Newport, the motions were agreed to.
