lic University :—The instrument of its foundation ; the
authority by which it professed to wafer decrees, and •

from the corporation of their promo& charter, or in what
other staloser ; and if by a surreeder of the @barter.
whether the mama of the university to such surrender bad
been obtained.

reaped to the question of the right hoe. member for Caine.
be bunged to &Tete that the Roman Catholic University was
• volualary lestitatioo. It did cot receive aid from the
State, and was not under its control, and, therefore, he was
not in a position to I iy the papers asked for on the table of
the house. Ile would ask for the information, and if he
obtained it be would lay it on the table. It appeared that
this university bad been founded by the Roman catholic
prelates of Deland, but he was not aware whether there
was any it'd/noises of foundation. Thera was no autho-
rity to confer degrees, and it did sot profess to do so, ex-
cepting degrees in theology. He could not state the
number of students or of professors, but he would
ink fee that information deo. As to the deotiC
question, be would state that the mode of effecting
the changes referred to had not be- n framed. The armors
which were in the contemplation of the goveremeet would
be laid epos the table of tee house in the form of • letter
from the Secretary of State for the Home Department to
the Lord Lieutenant, and he would observe that it would
be necessary to obtain the assent of the governi. g body to
the changes before they could be proposed, and that do-
sed had set been yet asked for.
