The Irish papers are, as ...
The Irish papers are, as usual on any unexpected occa- sion, running wild about a motion of the ATTORNEY-GE- NERAL, who has moved the King's Bench for an information against Mr. GABBE3TT, a magistrate of Enniskillen, who appears to have indeed eut-Heroled the most extravagant of his Orange associates, as a minister of public justice. The Irish newspapers, we say, are wild with joy. So they were on the KING'S visitso they were on that other hum- bug, the information filed by M-Jr. PLUNKEIT against the bottleman and rattleman, about the beginning of last year. This GABBETT, as it appears, if the facts stated be true, had acted on a spirit of gross party and personal ven- geance against two men who were Catholics, and innocent of any crime; committing them to prison- detaining t-hem tihere-recommitting thlem-fabricating a charge, and antedating it, in order to imprison two inno- cent men. We say this appears to be the case, because Mr. BLAcKBuRNE reported it-Mr. PLUNKETT movedl the Court upon it-and the Judgesbelieved itso far, as to grant against this Magistrate the rule required. All this is very horrible; and what is worse, tue perpetrator of the tyranny may, notwithstanding the exertions of the public officers, and the trial by jury, escape without punishment; nay, with all that barbarous and intolerable triumph which constitutes the " honours" of civil war. A Fermanagh jury, it is acknowledged by the Court of King's Bench, can- not be trusted' a Dublin jury, we know by experiefice, cannot. Where can the Irish look for justice, when the most effective arms of the constitution are turned against itself? Should this Orange-Magistrate be found guilty and chastised, then we may permit the Dublia Evening Post to sing its lo Pawns in security.
