§ Mr. Rossrose to put a question to the right hon. Baronet the Secretary for Ireland, respecting the conduct of Mr. O'Driscoll, of Skibbereen. In a case which came before the petty sessions at Skibbereen, and in which Mr. O'Driscoll was interested, the informations were not granted. It was the case of a woman whose cow had been distrained for a small amount of rent, and who, having rescued the cow, was prosecuted. The information was refused; and Mr. O'Driscoll was heard to exclaim, "By God, I do not understand these popularity-hunting magistrates." He wished to know whether the Lord Chancellor of Ireland had censured or intended to censure the conduct of Mr. O'Driscoll?
§ Sir T. Fremantlesaid, he had seen in the public papers the statement to which the hon. Gentleman alluded; but he had no means of knowing how far the statement was correct or otherwise.
§ Subject at an end.
