HL Deb 02 June 1845 vol 80 c1160
The Lord Chancellor

said, he wished to call their Lordships' attention for a few moments to the case of Mr. O'Driscoll. In consequence of what passed in that and the other House of Parliament a few nights ago, relative to the conduct of Mr. O'Driscoll, a communication was made to the Lord Chancellor of Ireland, who did what it was his duty to do, by directing an inquiry to be instituted. Before that inquiry was brought to a termination, however, Mr. O'Driscoll misconducted himself in such a manner with reference to proceedings in the Rolls' Court in Ireland, as, in the opinion of the Lord Chancellor of Ireland, rendered it necessary to dismiss him from the magistracy, and he had accordingly been superseded.
