§ MR. VANCEmoved the addition of the names of Mr. Agar-Ellis and Captain Archdall to the Committee of seventeen already nominated upon the above question. He did so on the ground that Ulster had not been properly represented on it.
§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Select Committee on Grand Jury Presentments do consist of Nineteen Members."—(Mr. Vance.)
COLONEL STUART KNOX, as an Amendment, moved to substitute the name of Mr. Vance for Sir John Gray, on the ground that the North of Ireland was not sufficiently represented on the Committee.
THE O'CONOR DONopposed the enlargement of the Committee to nineteen Members, believing that it was already inconveniently large. He had selected the names of the Committee with great care, and they had met the approval of the noble Earl the Chief Secretary for Ireland and the Members for the County of Dublin.
