THE NATIONAL REGISTRA. 151 SECRETRY Pot.s vindicated the Irish Government in the step they had taken, which had not been resorted m without the advice of the Lord Chancellor, and Attorney and Solicitor Cle-• neral of Ireland; nor until there was serious apprehension of an insurrection in the country. Al - hough the Irish Goveniment had been put in possion of facts which vindicated the measure they had resorted to, yet it was decided that no person should • be apprehended'for any act done by him previous to the date of that document. He concluded by expressing his confidence that the conduct of the Goveornment of Ireland would be ap proved by that House. After a debate of considerable duration, the House divided, on Ponsonby's motion—Ayes, 48; Noes, 138.—Majority, 8,5 .--The House then adjourned. FSIDAV, MARcn 8.
