But I have a gen- eral recital, and a general enactment too, in my favor. If to sit and vote be not a civil right, what civil right was intended by the word, for every other is provided for ? Why should this be excluded ? Look at the recital and look at the intention of the statute, and shall I then be told that a doubt can arise as to the right to sit and vote ? If I have not that right, what is to be done ? Is the statute of Charles II., enabling the House to exclude me, still in force ? What... is to become of me ? Am I to remain the representative for Clare ? Will the House not let me in, and is not able to turn me out? What, I ask again, is to become of me? The statute of Charles II. imposed penalties for not taking the oaths and signing the declaration : among others there was a pecuniary penalty, and it continued in force until the union with Ireland. The first question I would ask the lawyers of the House then is this : Did the Union Act continue those penalties ? I take upon me to say it did not.
