Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Ireland, From the Earliest Times to the Present Day, Vol. 3: From 1782 to 1908 Ireland, that is, she still claimed Supremacy over the whole field of marine and commercial legislation.l Flood's powers of exposition and reasoning were unsurpassed, and the case he made was undoubtedly strong, and yet in a House of 214 members only two others supported his views. Grattan's motion was passed with enthusiasm, and so angry did he feel that his work should be thus belittled that he moved: That the legislature of Ireland was independent, and that any person who should propagate in writing or otherwise an opinion that any right whatever, whether external or internal, existed in any other Parliament, or could be revived, was-an enemy to both kingdoms.2 This motion, so subversive of free speech, was withdrawn and a milder one passed, though the sense of the House evidently was that the question should not even be discussed.
