Judgment postponed. In an Appeal, Norbury v. Meade, by Writ of Error, from the Exchequer Court, the Attorney-General was heard for ap pellant, and Mr. Wetherell for respondent.—Judgment deferred. * DefeU v. Brookblank." Writ of Error from the Court of Exchequer. The Solicitor-General and Mr. Bickerstaff were heard for the appellant. Further hearing postponed. Mr. Ssirru, from the Commissioners of Roads and Bridges in 'Scotland, presented the Seventh Report of the Commissioners. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY presented a Petition from the Proprietors of Land in the province of Lower Canada, praying that the present Duties on the Importation of Foreign Timber into Great Britain might not be altered. The Cochineal Bill, the Silk Bill, and Glass Duties 8111, were read a second time. The Earl of DARNLEY said, he held in his hand a Peti• Lion, signed by several Clergymen of the Church of England, praying that the Queen's name might be restored to the Liturgy, As he did not then see the Right Rev. the Archbishop•of Can terbury in his place, ke should for the present decline presenting the Petition until be was present, which he supposed would be on Monday next. Mr. BSOGDSN brought up a Message from the Commons ' sig nifying that the house had given leave to John Gladstone, Esq. and James Drummond, Esq. to attend their Lordships' Com mittee on Fortign Trade. Mr. Bowman brought up from the House of Commons the Flax Encouragement 13111, which was read a first time.—Ad journed to Monday. sentiments of the Roman Catholics were still unal tered—(flear, hear). He hoped the attention of the House would be seriously directed to it. He *mild ask, could any expectation be indulged that the Ro man Catholics would be satisfied with the present Bills, when one of the greatest authorities among the Roman Catholics, Dr. Milner, had subscribed to the 'Petition now before the House? He regretted that the Right Honourable Member opposite (Mr. Plun [ ken) had lent the aid of his powerful talentl to a measure which was likely to afford so little satisfac tion on both sides, 'lt appeared to him, that the Right Honourable Gentleman would have to come 'to the House year after year with new Petitions for the repeal of the very measure which he now advo cated, should that measure be sanctioned by the House. His decided conviction was, that in the event of the present Bill passing into a law, a second Bill would be introduced for the repeal of it, so little did he think it calculated to meet the ends proposed. fle had the highest respect for the Roman Catholics, but from a regard for them, as well as for the Pro testants, he should oppose any further concession to that body 1A laugh). Let the House grant them what they would, still something more would be re• quired. He could not anticipate a greater disaster to the country than the entire removal of the re straints upon Roman Catholics. He could not but again express his regret that the Right Honourable Gentleman, o whom he had already alluded, was found an advocate for claims, which were fraught with so much danger to the Constitution, both in Church and State. Mr. PLUNKETT being loudly called on, the Right Hon. Gentleman rose and said, that the Hon. I Baronet had in some respect anticipated the discus• sion which was to take place upon the general ques tion of the Roman Catholic claims. The Right Hon. Gentleman then moved, that the names to the Peti- 1 tion be read, with the view of ascertaining whether that of Dr. Milner was subscribed to it ; when it ap peared that the first signatures were those of Messrs. Hanly and Jinks, Roman Catholic Priests ; after which came Dr. Milner's name. He was desirous it should appeal? to the House that Dr. Milner's,name was actually subscribed to the Petition, as nothing could more strongly mark the principle that had given rise to it. It was not extraordinary that the Hon. Baronet should be pleased with the Petition, for, among Protestants and Catholics, the principle of bigotry was undeviating—(Cheers).—He (Mr. Plunkett) had felt a proud exultation of mind at the hope, that an object which would be hailed with such delight by so many of his fellow-citizens, would that night be attained; yet, at the same time, he found thoughts arise which he fain would have repressed-- thoughts of an ominous prescience that something would happen which would dash the cup of expecta tion from the lips of millions. He felt that the same malignant spirit was at work which displayed itself with so much activity in 1819, instigated, he pre sumed, by the same Dr. Milner. But the sentiments of the Roman Catholics were not to be collected from the Petition now before the House. When the Noble Lord, the Member for Aylesbury (Lord Nugent), had , presented the Petition of the English Roman Catho lics, it appeared that it was signed by seven out of the eight Apostolic Vicars, and the eighth, be it re• collected, was no other than Dr. Milner, upon Whose opposition, this evening, the Hon. Baronet (Sir T. Lethbridge) congratulated the House—(Hear, hear). He would now state, and he would not be understood as stating anything against the sacred profession of which Dr. Milner was a member, that Dr. Milner was the same man who, in 1813, came forward and opposed, in decided terms, a measure of conciliation which was likely to be attended with the most happy effects. He was the same Dr. Milner who had been removed from those Gentlemen in this country who managed the affairs of the Roman Catholics, in an association denominated the Catholic Board—( Hear). —He (Mr. Plunkett) held in his- hand a document which would skew that Dr. Milner had represented the day on which Roman Catholic emancipation should be granted, to be the day of the downfall of the Roman Catholic religion in England. But in what did his objection to the measure arise ? Not in any alarm for the downfall of this religion; no, he only dreaded the downfall and total annihilation of all feuds and distinctions between Roman Catho• lies and Protestants--(Cheers).—lt was quite clear, and he (Mr. Plunkett) was convinced of the fact, that no measure, however carefully framed, could conciliate prejudiced minds. Bigotry was not to be conciliated. With bigotry h was impossible to reason, whether it appeared in the mind of the Roman Ca ' tholic or the Protestant. for bigotry time acted in vain—it lost its influence. Bigotry worshipped figures imprinted on the sand, which, though wasikd away by the tide, were re-imprinted again--(Cheers). —k was blind, it was deaf; it was not accessible to the force of reason, of justice, or of truth—( Loud cheers).—He was glad the Petition had been read, but he should certainly oppose its lying on the table; and he should found his objection principally to the wording of it. It was not addressed as it ought to be, to the Parliament of Great Britain and Ireland, but to the Parliament of England and Ireland, thereby omitting Scotland altogether, which was ob viously incorrect. Lord NUGENT begged the' House to compare this Petition with that which he had presented on a' former night, one which had been signed by all the Roman Catholic Clergy of distinction, except Dr. Milner, whom he should very freely leave to the Ho nourable Baronet. Sir G. HILL contended, that Dr. Milner had dealt more candidly with the House than any other of the Roman Catholic Bishops. No part of the Roman Catholic bigotry was removed, yet we were called upon to give up our PrOtestant Constitution. Mr. WILBERFQRCE, though by no means con cuiiing in the sentiments of the Petition, yet wished that itAould be laid on the table, to prevent any thing like a feeling of ezasperatiun. Sr.vr.N-iiNcE. • Mr. PLUNKETt said ite.woitld comply with the wish of the Hon. Member, from that consideration, and should theretOre waive hia technical chjeftion. Mr. J. SMITH said, that many of the namet signed to the Petition bad evidently been written by the same band. Mr. BRIGHT was of Opinion that bigotry might be charged on both sides, yet it was clear that the country could not have rest till either everything was granted, or a determined stand was made against the claims of the Roman Catholics. lie thought that the present was the time for making that stand. Let men disguise the fact as they would; still they must feel, that if the present Bills should pass, other sects would be coming to the House to demand equal concessions. To him it appeared that the claims of the Protestant Dissenters ought to have precedence. Let the Protestant Dissenters first be restored to their rights, and then let the House con sider how far it might be expedient to grant ail that the Roman Catholics requited. Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH obsetved, that the County_ of Stafford contaihed some of the most re; spectable Roman Catholic families in England, yet none of them had signed this Petition. Would not the House think it of material importance, that such men as the Earl of Shrewsbury and Lord Stourton; and such families as the Cliffords, the Jerninghams, and the Fitzherbeits, were exceptions to the senti- • ments contained in this Petition ?— (Hear, hear). ---t These ought to have infinitely more weight with the House than the parties who had signed a Petition which had called forth the approbation of the lions Baronet. He understood that the Petition did not contain the name of a respectable individual, except that of Dr. Milner. But the House would recollect that Dr. Milner was the irreconcileable enemy of all amicable arrangement between the Roman Catholics and Protestants. As to the Roman Catholics of Staf ford, he should not say that they were not in a situa. tion to sign a Petition with their own hand, had they chosen to do so; but certain it was that the respect able proportion of them had not signed it. It was very evident that the names of Dr. Milner or of the Honourable Baronet could not be included in any proposition for an amicable arrangement. The man who regretted the repeal of the laws which hitherto had affected Roman Catholics, was not a man likely to acquiesce in any measure of conciliation. Mr. ELLIS read a Resolution, passed by the Irish Roman Catholic Bishops, in 1810, approving of Dr. Milner's conduct in opposing the Veto. The Resolu tion, he maintained, had not since been withdrawn. Mr. W. WYNN insisted that the Catholics were not responsible for any change in the opinion of Dr. • Milner. It was quite impossible that uniformity of sentiment could be expected in any measure of great public importance; all that"could be looked for was, that those who had most influence, from character, station, and wealth, should ac qu i esce i n a particular principle. The Petition of the Roman Catholics -of England had been signed by 8,000 individuals; and of the Vicars-Apostolic, Dr. Milner was the only one who had not put his name to it. It was a well-knowtt fact, that no Roman Catholic Gentleman of any re spectability was found among the persons who had - subscribed to the present Petition, . Mr. ELLIS explained.--He would not say that Dr. Milner had received the thanks of the Roman Catholics of Ireland after Mr. Grattan's Bill had been thrown out. Mr. WAR R E said, that the Honourable Member who had spoken last ought to recollect the sentiment, expressed by Di-. Milner in 1808, as well as thoie which he had delivered in 1810. In 1808, Mr.Pon sonby had read in that House a letter from Dr. Mil- ner, in which he acquiesced in the measure of a Vdo; but a man who at one time was. ready to grant every. thing, and at another was furious to retract, ought . not to be held forth as an authority worthy of the least notice—(Hear, hear). Mr. PEEL was anxious that the House should understand the teal facts of the case. They. would immediately see that the object of his Hon. Friend (Mr. Ellis) was not to involve the fir.man Catholics,, as a body, in the same opinions with Dr. Milner; but to shew that when a similar Bill to the present }fad been introduced, and a similar ecclesiastical arrang.e. merit proposed, the Roman Catholic Bishops of Ire land deprecated it in positive terms, as tending to injure the interests of their religion—Wear, I,e r ). The Right Honourable Member here read a Resolu tion passed by the Irish Catholic Bishops on the ( ~.'6th of May, 1813, expressing their decided opposition to the securities provided by the Bill which in that year bad been introduced, and stating that they coulanct agree to those securities without incurring the guilt of schism—(llear). Sir M. W. RIDLEY said, that out of every twenty five names that appeared to the Petitin, at least five seemed to have been written by the same hand. Sir H. PARNELL observed, that the Roman Ca tholic Bishops of Ireland thought they would have . been guilty of schism, had they agreed to the Bill o f 1813 without first h aving; communication with the Pope. They understood urn the words introduced in the Bill, would go to al:Tr and affect the discipline of the Church, and this they held to he schism, un less it was sanctioned by the Roman Pontiff. But as the Court of Rome had agreed to the Bill, there could be no incoasisteney in the Prelates of Ireland acquiescing in one of a similar nature—(Hear);-... He deprecated the dissensions which had taken place in 1813, and he hoped they would never again occur.. A great change had manifested itself all over Ire. land with respect to this question, in proof of ss hich k would beg leave to read to the Howe a letter which he had received from a most respectable Gene ti , ernan in that country; a Gentleman who had con. siderable influence with the Roman Catholic body, had had the best oportunity of forming a correct . ' cklimate cf their views—(The Hon. Baronet hot read the letter, which stated that a lively sensat , oa /tad been excited among the RerrP.n CatluAtits of HOUSE OF COMMONS. At a few minutes to four o'clock the Gallery was opened, when it was found that the House was amazingly crowded. Several Ptivate Bills were disposed of. Lord LOWTIIER moved that the Order of the Day for a Call of the House should be then read, in order to Its being postponed to Monday next. Sir J. MACKINTOSH said, the importance of the measure about to be discussed was of Itself sulSciently important to in sure a full attendance of Honourable Aletnbers, and he there fore saw no necessity whatever for enforcing a Call of the House. He was very far from attributing to the Noble Lord any intention to avail hiniself of the interval to excite, out of doors, that attention to the Bill now in progress, which it had failed to attract hitherto, and sbould move that the Order of the Day for a Call of the House be now discharged. Lord LOWTHER, in a few words, withdrew his motion, and the order was discharged. Lord A. HAMILTON moved that the Petition from the Royal Burgh of luverury, County of Aberdeen, be referred to the Committee on Scotch Burghs. After a conversation, in which Lord Fart, Mr. Howe, Mr. J. P. GRANT, and Sir G. Cs.ca&, participated, Lord A. HA MILTON, in a few words, moved the adjourn ' anent of the consideration of the Petition to Monday next, and which being seconded by Sir R. Ficactusow, the question of ad journment of the Petition was carried. Mr. MA RR YAT ?resented a Petition from certain persons in Canada, on the subject of the Timber Trade. The Petition was in the French language. The SPEAKER conceived the Petition to be inadmissible. He called the attention of the House to the fact of Petitioni having been received from Native Princes of India, when translated from the original and native language in which they had been couched. There was no precedent of receipt of Peti tions in any languages than the English and the old French, which was very different from the modern French language, and instanced the rejection, on a late occasion, of a Petition in the Welch language. 111 r. MARKYAT contended it would be a great hardship on the Petitioners to reject their Petition, because they were unfor tunately ignorant of any other than the French language. Mr. C. W. WYNN said, were this Petition received in Its present shape, Petitions from India, and the lonian Isles, might be presented in their respective languages, which would render the employment of interpreters necessary.—The Petition was withdrawn. ROMAN CATHOLIC CLAIMS. Mr. LOCKHART presented a Petition from the Mayor and Corporation of Oxford, against the Ca tholic Claims. Bir W. SCOTT presented a similar Petition from the Clergy of the Archdeaconry of Middlesex ; also a similar Petition from the Clergy of the Archdea conry of Essex. Mr. HUME presented a Petition from one Richard Hayes, who stated himself to be a Franciscan Friar, of Wexford, in Ireland, against the enactment of the Bill for the relief of the Catholics now before the House. Mr. HART DAVIS presented a Petition from the Clergy and Inhabitants of a Parish in Bristol, against the Roman Catholic Claims. Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH said, that so long as a majority of that House had not decided that th• Roman Catholic Claims ought to be entertained, so long the Constituents of the Honourable Member re mained silent ; but the moment that House deter mined on going into a Committee on those Claims, the Constituents of the Hen. Member gave a pro:of of their respect for the House by petitioning against its decision—Wear, hear). Mr. HART DAVIS presented similar Petitions from the Parishes of St. Peter, St. Thomas, All Saints, and St. Mary, Radcliff, Bristol, against the Roman Catholic Claims. Sir T. LETHBRIDGE presented Petitions against the Roman Catholic Claims, from the Archdeacon and Clergy of the City of Bath, and the Inhabitants of Kin s have, both in the county of S omerset . Th e Hon. Member stated, that his Constituents were against admitting Roman Catholics to political power, but were actuated by a most liberal spirit—(Hear, hear, and laughter).—His Constituents entertained a liberal spirit—(Cheers, and laughter)—they were friendly to liberality. He concurred in the spirit of the Petition. Sir ISAAC COFFIN had served his Majesty fifty' years—had fought along with Roman Catholics all over the world, and uniformly knew them to be as prodigal of their blood as any other .men in his Majesty s service. Lord NUGENT suggested that the Petition should be read throughout, which was done. Mr. 'WILBERFORCE presented a Petition from the Roman Catholic Clergy and Laity of the coun ties of Stafford arid Warwick, against the enactments ' of the Bills in progress through the }l-,use, purport- ing to be for the rettef of the Roman Catholics, as the said Bills were at present constituted. The Peti tioners asserted their loyalty to their King, their at tachment to the Throne and the Constitution, recug nizing no other temporal or civil Authority what ever than his Majesty and his successors; and that , they had not been accused of any participation in seditious meetings, assemblies, or proceedings. Sir I'. LETHBRIDGE congratulated the House en the presentation of this Pctitioa t as it chewed thax the
