[ Fifth Examination.]— Evidence, in answer to that given by Mr. Flood, as regards dupli- cate certificates being taken out by the Conservative party in Longford; cases ofM'Keon and Mills explained^ 13222- 13251 Particulars of the cases of James and William Vance, 13259- 13273 At the registration the names are called alphabetically, and no person whose name does not appear in the list can register, 13274- 13283 The Com- mittee of 1837 expressed an opinion that Daly, who was brought up to support certain votes that were impeached, was not worthy of credit, 13286- 13292 It is not true that the Conservative party could get their friends registered whilst the Liberal party were obstructed in their endeavours to register, 13293- 13295. 13341- 13349 Never heard of a man having his skull fractured during the election, 13297- 13302 Means of inti- midation and excitement used by the Liberal party during the registration, and evidence thereon, 13303- 13320. Purport of the addresses delivered to the people in the street at the adjournment of the registry court, 13317- 13320 The police acted with impartiality ; there was no arrange- ment made with the police or any other party to obstruct the Liberal party in their way to the registering court, 13321- 13332 There was no necessity for sending another registering barrister to Longford ; Mr. Fosbery could have completed the registration within the time, 13350- 13355 The Conservatives complained of Mr. Dogherty afford- ing the other side more facility for registration, 13356- 13360 Mode of dividing the claimants between the two courts, 13361- 13367 Appeals were entered for the pur- pose of obtaining the opinion of the judges on the words " beneficial interest;" on the decision of the first case the others were given up, 13368- 13373. Evidence respecting the case of John Sodan, who was stated to have voted on his father's certificate; they are a very respectable family, and would not come forward in any case of personation, 13374- 13393 There are more Roman catholic rent payers on the lands of Lisnane than Protestants ; the rent has been received for some years back at an abated rate, 13394- 13406 The speeches uttered by the Rev. Mr. M'Gaver were not of a temperate description, 13408- 13417 The conduct of the Roman- catholic clergy as regards interference at elections is the cause of the ill- will that prevails to a great extent between the tenants and their landlords, 13418, 13419 No doubt there were a great many Orangemen in the count}' of Longford, but since the will of the late King and the Government was made known they have given it up in a great measure, 13421- 13431 There is a Ribbon society now in Longford, 13432, 13433. No disposition on the part of proprietors of land to get rid of Roman- catholic tenants previous to their turning against them from the interference of the clergy, 13434—— Longford, from being the most quiet county in Ireland, is become one of the most dis- turbed, 13435- 13447 Nature of the outrages committed there, and supposed causes thereof, 13448- 13520 Murders are very common there, 13444- 13453 No clear- ance of tenants on Lord Lorton's estate since 1835, except a small holding, where a mid- dleman's tenants were cleared off, 13460- 13463 There was a man shot in Longford during the election in 1836; the person tried for the murder was acquitted, and the woman upon whose evidence he was tried was afterwards convicted of perjury, 13519- 1352i< It is too much the case in Ireland for persons who are dispossessed of land, however rightfully, to revenge themselves upon the incoming tenants, without any respect for their popery or their piety, 13522- 13529. Opinion that Catholic tenants, if left to themselves, would vote with their landlords; Roman- catholic or Protestant clergy ought not to interfere in politics; it is very wrong for any man to interfere between the tenant and the landlord, 13538- 13572 Whether the Conservative landlords wish for a repeal of the Emancipation Act, they have never done any act which would have the effect of depriving the Roman- catholics of Longford of the benefit they ought to enjoy under that Act, 13573- 13599 Opinion that the Marquis of Anglesea was not desirous of Lord Forbes's success in 1832 ; on the contrary, that, so far as the Government was concerned, he threw his interest into the other scale, 13600- 13605 Lord Forbes had no share in getting Mr. Fosbery appointed to act as revising barrister for Longford, 13606- 13616 Further evidence respecting the speech made by Mr. Curran in the registry court, 13617- 13646 Mr. Curran made a com- plaint to the barrister that he had been insulted by the police, 13621- 13630 His man- ner was not courteous to Mr. Fosbery ; lie appeared to make very light of his decisions, 13642- 13646.
