Ireland ELECTION. 47 Reports, 1837- 8— continued. Julian, John. ( Analysis of his Evidence.)— Agent to the King's County Conservative Registration Society for many years; ceased to be the agent in 1835,14693- 14698 The principle which Mr. Gibson adopted with respect to registration, in point of value, where the qualification consisted Of land, was to ascertain the value from the value of the produce of the applicant's farm, 14701- 14719 Cases decided by Mr. Gibson in opposition to the opinion of the twelve judges as to the question of value, 14720- 14726 By far the greater part of the ten- pound freeholders were registered without having a 10/. marketable value, 14726- 14732. Only four cases rejected by Mr. Gibson for want of sufficient value, 14735 Case of James Durrivan, 14741- 14761 Witness was a subscriber to the Conservative fund, 14761- 14767 Rate of payment received by witness as agent to the Conservative Association, 14773- 14778 Mr. Gibson never prevented an inquiry into the produce of the land, 14779- 14784. In no instance could positive evidence be procured to contradict the claimant, though great pains were taken to procure such evidence, 14789- 14804 The principle on which Mr. Gibson acted was not to deduct the labour, 14811- 14814 Frequent ap- plications made to him to allow an inspection of the documents produced by claimants, but he invariably refused, 14814- 1482S Many bad effects have ensued from not allowing counsel or agents to peruse the instrument under which th ® parties claimed to register, 14825- 14828 The general practice is to allow them to be inspected by the opposing parties, 14829- 14840 It is calculated to place fraudulent votes upon the register, 14841- 14844. In many instances tenants voted against their landlords, 14845- 14850 The production of a lease would give the landlord no further infor mation than he could obtain from his own counterpart; it is generally considered the duty of the tenant to pay for both parts of the lease, though in many cases there is only one part, 14851- 14854 Mr. Gibson held that being in possession as tenant for six months previous to the registry was sufficient, provided he had a lease or instrument prior to being registered, 14856- 14863. Frequent instances of persons coming to register as assignees of leases; the produc- tion of the assignment has been held by Mr. Gibson to be sufficient, 14864- 14866 Case of Stephen Meagher who registered out of an assignment, 14867- 14899 Several cases of persons being registered who were not in possession of the entire land out of which they applied to register, 14900- 14934—-- Witness in favour of a liberal construc- tion of the statute as regards possession, 14936- 14941 No witnesses examined by the Conservative Society in support of a claim; they were all admitted or rejected on the evidence of the claimant, 14945- 14948 Mr. Gibson applied the same principle in his decisions to both parties, 14949- 14953 Tenants are not bound to produce the title deeds of the landlords under whom they claim, 14955- 14958 Many cases have occurred of leases being granted by a father to his son, reserving only the portion of the rent payable thereon, which is paid to the head landlord, and not to the grantor of the lease, 14959- 14964 The assistant barrister has declined to oblige the applicant to answer questions relative to the title of his lessor, 14965- 14969. Justice Rent. The different parishes in Longford have contributed towards the justice rent, M'Gaver 12284- 12289. Justice, Administration of. Roman- catholics of Longford feel no confidence in the juries; it depends upon the sheriff' the kind of verdict that is given, M'Gaver 12454- 12457 The office of assistant barrister is a very important office in the administration of justice in Ireland, Battersby 14322- 14325 Investing the assistant barrister with the functions of registering votes, &. c., lias destroyed all confidence in the administration of justice as administered by him, Battersby 14326- 14330 Great advantage to divest a person holding a judicial office from that political duty, Battersby 14331- 14335.
