like the one appointed in the me of Mr. Pease, and
whieh reported upon the various lets of parliament
that existed u to the admistiAi of Quakers, and offered
no opinion on the subject. It was his intention to
lay bakes the present committee tvery act of parliament
with which he was acquainted, whether the same might be
for or against u.e opinion he himself entertained upon the
question of the admission of Jews to the le,islature.
Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL moved that the committee
should consist of 22 members instead of 21, and Oat the
hen. member for Youghtil should be appointed to act on it.

jority in favour of the Jews in the committee still pester
than it was already.

pcsed of 23 members.
