§ MR. MAYNEasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If his attention has been called to a case against Mr. Thomas Dowling, J. P., Inch Home, at the Cappawhite Petty (Sessions, and reported in The Freeman's Journal of the 10th May, for threatening to be revenged on Mr. Meldon, R. M., the magistrate before whom he was convicted and fined for drunkenness; and, whether the attention of the Lord Chancellor of Ireland has been called to this further charge against Mr. Dowling; and, if so, whether he has come to any decision in the case?
§ MR. TREVELYANBefore this further charge against Mr. Dowling was brought to the notice of the Lord Chancellor, his Lordship had decided that on the original case—namely, the conviction for drunkenness, there was no ground for doubting the correctness of the magistrate's decision against Mr. Dowling; and it, therefore, became the painful duty of the Lord Chancellor to supersede Mr. Dowling from further acting in the Commission, of the Peace.
