Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Speeches of the Right Honourable Henry Grattan, Vol. 2 of 4: In the Irish, and in the Imperial Parliament On the 13th, the Attorney-general (Mr. Fitzgibbon) presented to the House a bill to prevent tumultuous risings and assemblies; and for the more effectual punishment of persons guilty of outrage, riot, and illegal combinations, and the administering and taking unlawful oaths. The bill was received, and read a first time. Mr. John Wolfe strongly opposed it. He conceived it to be so hostile to the liberties of the people, that every man should raise his voice, and almost wield his sword against it. Mr. Curran likewise strongly opposed it. On this day, the bill was ordered to be read a second time. When the clerk came to the clause empowering magistrates to demolish any Roman Catholic meetinghouse at which tumultuous assemblies shall be held, or where unlawful oaths shall be administered, this passage was strongly objected to. Mr. Grattan said: Sir, it is impossible to hear that bill read, or the question put on the committal of it, without animadversion. I agree that the south should be coerced. If the populace or peasantry of that district have thought proper to invade personal security, and lay the foundation of undermining their own liberties; if they have resorted to the exercise of torture as relief for poverty, I lament their savage infatuation, and I assent to their punishment.
