MR. LALOR: asked Mr. Solicitor General for Ireland, If his attention has been called to a report of the proceedings of a special court of petty sessions which was held in Mary borough, Queen's County, on the 18th instant, and which appeared in the "Freeman's Journal" of the 19th instant; from that report it appears that six respectable business men of that town were summoned on a charge of having gone round to ask the shopkeepers to subscribe and become members of a branch of the Irish National Land League; according to the same report, each of the witnesses who were summoned to give evidence to prove the case of the Crown swore that they were not intimidated by the defendants; notwithstanding this denial on the part of the witnesses, the defendants were fined £10 each, or the alternative of three months' imprisonment; it also appears from the same report that the resident magistrate, Mr. Hamilton, during the trial, said that the mere denial on the part of a witness that he was not intimidated was not sufficient, in his opinion, to set aside the charge brought against the defendants in this case, if the circumstances were such, in the mind of the court, as would lead to the conclusion that they were calculated to intimidate; and, if the opinion thus expressed by Mr. Hamilton is correct in law?
