Sir Jots Netveotty replied to the objections of those who opposed his motion. with considerable force. He wished to kuow upon what grounds the House could refuse a measure, which only went to make u fund, fixed by Parliainenbiry eisitettuont, for the purposes. of builiiiug glebe-houses iu arailabie to the import of the statute of Queen Anne, and to the object of the Parliument, by which that law was pressed ? Ile would ask if that power, obeli at, originally tested iu the Crowe, in making this unpin:mime of the fund of first fruits to is designated purposes, whether any man would think of advanciiig such objections against the exercise of its legitimate au thority ? 'I he objections of that night were against the detail, and must have been crested only for the purpose of making objections, as in his statement lie had give u no reason for such apprehensioni.— The Learned Doctor (Duigemin) had asserted that the present, would severely affect small livings, although it had been previously stafed, that it was not inteoderl to include such benefice* within its influence and operatiun. The aspic authority nest proceeded to assert. that although the poser of ordering the valuation of the Church pro perty, and raising the final of First Fruits, had been originally with the Crown, yet it had been subsequently given up, and that no such valuation hail tuken place since the reign of Henry the Eighth. But it was sur prising to find that Right Hon. and Learned Doc tor (a laugh) so grossly misinformed on a sub ject on which, at least, lie ought to be accurate. — If he would revert to the history of those h e Would find that a valuation took place iu the reign of the First _antes ; that Alontgouiery, i pa triotic anal liberal (Ovine, then Bishop of Meath, had exerted hiinst Li to procure the proceeds of cer tain forfeatst property in the pro% ince of Ulster, not for his own private emolument, but to augment the comforts, and to increase the happiness and respectability of the poorer Clergy of his own sec. If he extended his inquiries to more modern times, the Learned Doctor quid find, that the tali of Anne was recognized and ccirifirined by &legislative provision in the reign of t;eurge the First. The House, before it rejected the present motion, ought to reflect, that it went merely to compel the appli cation of funds uuly to the purposes fur which such funds were utigitsully intended. The Right Honourable the Chancellor of the Exchequer was much alarmssl at milling upon the Clergy, by u small appropriation .of their immense re venues, to support the respectability of their own brethren, but lie has no componction for the sufferings of the burdened people of Ireland, when be called upon then; to pay 50,0001. for that very purpose. This very Sessiou such a grunt had bean inside, and such impost levied on the people. Was it not itaturally to lie expected. that the people, already groaning under the immense weight of taxation, %squid reason thus:" Before yon, the House of Commons, hate a right to tux upon us an impost of 30,0001. for the purpose of erect ing glebe houses, and of supporting the poorer Clergy. does it not at least become your dote to inquire if any, and what funds exist by law, which, a ithout any addition to our enormous hoi dens, es t o he made available to that purpose We know. that by the bounty of the Crow,' such a fund does exist for that application, and surely there is neither justice, or policy, or reason, in railing upon us fur further sueritict is, whilst, by the law of the land and the bounty of the Crown, there exists ut this Itiniticiit a fiord surd Stifled fond for that neressitry and desirable purpose."
