TURNPIKE TRUSTS.
4 Tat ;EN ERA I, NIEETING of the TRUS-
LX TEES of the several ROADS round the METRO-
VOUS, held at the Gown and Anchor Tavern in the Strand,
on 110NDAY, March tti, 1811, to lake into consideration
the Bill recently brought into the House of Commons, for
vesting in General and Division Trustees the Lire of Reads
is the neighbourhood of the Metropolis, and fur disehassieg
the Trustees under whom the same are now repaired med
maintained from the further care and maintenance thereof;
JAMES RICE WILLIAMS, Esq. in the Chair;
Present—Deputatiuua from the fullowiug Trusts:—Near
('roar Road., Surrey New Road, Sarre, and Sussex. City
Road, Highgate and Mantua:cad, Hackney, Old-street Road,
Stamford Hill, Bethnal Green, Mary-le-bone, Keusington,
Uslwidge, Breniford, Harmon, Kilbourne or Edgeware.
Resolved—That this Sleeting, having maturely considered
the Metropolis Road Bill, are unseimously of opinion that
the preamble is out founded iu fart. That the present 'pi-
ing, of local trusts b., both in principle and practice, better
calculated fur the maintenance of good Roads than extensive
districts, which the state of most of the Roads round the Me.
tropulis at this time incontestably proves. That the principle
and provisions of the said Bill are imultiog to the under-
riaitdinp sad degrading to the recline of respectable bodies
of men. who give their time and services gratuitously, who
from their loral resideuce are must intesesied in the state of
the Road., and, from their knowledge and experieuce, fully
competent to their management. That. though the Bill
permits a few Divisional Trustees to be chosen, yet in effect
they will he mere ciphers, under the control sat Grimed
Trusteed aad t•( the Surveyor General, w►o will have the
entire sisperiiitendenre and management, with nulimited
power to appoint Sub-Surveyors, Inspectors, and other
u to, to poi chase wisteria's, to make toutracts, 6:c. Re.
That se appears to this meeting that the molest' teatteuey of
the Bit is to create uuot•cessary offices, with salaries and
allowances, which will cause much additional expeose,
entail heavy burdens on the adjoining perishes cud on the
public. That, in the opinion of this Mectiog, it i. only tie-
remary to read the Bill to perceive that it will be weak and
inefficient for all useful purpose.. 'flint it substitutes a
rash and baxtrdous experiment fur a system sanctioned by
lug experietsee; and that there is reason to fear, goateed
..r improving, it may ultimately be injurious to the ltoad►.
That this Metthig feel it a duty which ihey owe to them-
►rlrrs and to thr public to make use of all lawful torsos to
uPPuse the said Bill, and do recommend it to green' rune-
iteration, that should this Bill he pee:ad into a law, it may
l'urhaps he followed by similar Bills throughout the
Kiur-
slum,

BANK NOTE FORGERIE2.
Mr. HOIIHOUSE presented a Petition from a very re-.
epeelable Shopkeeper in the Strand, complaining that he
lad, la the course of a week, takes it...sty-three 11 soles,
wink upon presentation to the Bonk, were stamped with the
word " Forged," sod returned. The Petitioner stated, that
be sad his Atomises were good judges of the hard con, but
know no means for detecting forgeries of Bank paper, which
were at all secure: That it was notorione that even the In.
spielers at the Batik were unable to prove, in many in-
stances, whether the notes were forged or not : That the
increase of crime was going on in a frightful progresaios,
la consequence of the defective seams of detecting forgeries:
That in 1818, Mire were 166 persons convicted of this crime;
Is 1819, 160 persous; and i• 1820, the amount was swelled to
176 persons, snaking a difference of 106 persons. He
thought the Legislature should interfere with this great and
growing evil, which went so deotrectivoly to affect out only
the property, bus the lives of their felnw...objecta. Of the
culprits before nientiomod, there were only two whose real
mime was forgery, the rest being convicted for bolding and
altering forged motes. The Petitioner stated, that the
annual ge lees to the public by taking forged Bank
of England notes was 30,0001. which fell almost mo-
tirely on shopkeepers. The Petitioner ilsought that the
Bank ought to make good that loss, until they should adopt
lime better means for enabling the public to detect their
forgeries ; otherwise the Bank should be compelled to pay
their small sotto is the curtest eon of the realm. The
Petitioner was aware, that there was a Bill pending fur
ale Bank to par small omen is specie. But the
, I ILV illd mitered into repeated etrgagements to do the same
thing, pose of which had the Bask ever (*tilled.

Mr. CURWEN wished to ask a pliant Leigh. opposite
(Mr W. Congreve), whes the new Bank notes were to appear ?
Mr. DUGDA LE said a few words.
Sir W. CONGREVE defended the Commission from any
blame which ought be imputed to them, ou she ground of
' the &lay which bail occurred in the production of the rew
may. Whets the Commission made its last Report. ',COIN°
illialsog the adoption of a particular aide, which they bad
agreed upon as the best calculated to answer the end pro.
posed, the further respousibility of carrying the recommen-
, &Woe into effect, sod of forwarding the 'seriatim, of the
plus, rested with the Beek. He did not think that there woe
say want of exertion on the part of the Bank, who had am
exteasive apparatus Stied up for the purpose, than which
11l use impossible any thug could be Suer, but it had bees
hand sot exactly to come up to the wishes of the Directors,
sad same olterstiois was moisceived necessary. With regard
to Ilisrpflelicability rainy improvement in the rote to cheek
the practice of forging, he was conildeut that it was per-
fectly possible to make • Bank note which it would be more
difficult to counterfeit than the coin of the realm.

Mr. BARING could Hot boo lament, That when this sub.
jest was brought under its eowsideratiun, the House bad got
appointed • Committee of its own to iuveatigate it, whose
proceedings would bare led toe sure satisfactory result ;
for it now appeared at the end of two years, that the Cum-
mission which had been appointed had turned the matter
over to the management of the Beek, and after all there
was ao symptom of any sew sate 'mimic about to mike its
appearance. %Yheis he twirler's' the extent to which the
practice of forgery had bees carried. the serious became-
uienee and looses it oreasiuised to tradesmen, and thesiumber
of persons whose lives it cossed to be forfeited to the laws,
he could mot but thick that the House had neglected its
duty in not giving a closer *newborn to the subject. The
constant repre•entatiows which bad bees made by the Go-
veroment, that a new note was on the point of appearing
time after time, had disappointed the expectations, mid ex-
hansttd the hopes of the public, who now generaily believed
that clothier could be dune in the matter, although he tinned
in opinion with the gallant General opposite, nod indeed he
had spoken wish any person whose upinion was of soy
weight on much subjects who did out also feel satisfied of
the practicability of • sew notes which would to a cons/.
dersble digrec diiniuisk, if net prevent the practice of
forgery.
Sir W. CONGRF.VE wished to explain that he slid not
mean to say the C.onsmiesioner• had gives up the matter, but
that as a body their powers expired wham they made their Re-
port. They had, however, individually aisles devoted much
of their time end attention to the subject; and be flattered
himself that in the comma another month a plan would be
developed which would armed the euviotry bankers effectual
security against forgery.
Mr. DAVIES GILBERT corroborated the statement of
Sir W. Cungreve.
Mr../. SMITH said nine-tenths of the forgeries committed
were of If. Notes. At the best Bank Court, he understood
from the Governor of the Bank that it was their barmier to
pay the 11. mites in gold, which, if done, would certainly re-
move the evil so much complained of.
Sir AI. %V. RIDLEY hoped the House would not be led
into delusive, by supposing tiro the plan mentioned by the
Gallant General opposite (Sir W. Cnugseve) would remove
the evil. That plan applying only to the country banks, the
forgery of the mutes of the Bark of Ragland would of be
at all affected by it.
The Petition was then read it; it weal from George Wm.
Gibson, grocer end ira•ilesler iu the Strand.

Mr. CURWEN said, it had bees his intention to confine
himself to asking a question of the Right Hun. the Chan-
cellor of the Exchtquer; bait as he had some doubt of get-
ting a satisfactory answer, and as he might have to cell the

Enlistnieut Bill.
Lard JOHN THYNNE presented a Petition from the
Corporation of the City of Bath agaiast the Catholic dia.
abilities Removal Bill.
CATHOLIC DISABILITIES REMOVAL
BILL.
Sir JOHN NEWPORT said, before he moved the
Older if the Day for the House going into a Com-
inittee on the Catholic Disabilities Removal Bill,
he wished to dive notice, that in compliance with
the wishes of several persons, it was his intention to
move, its sonic future stage of the irruceedings, that
the two Bills should be consolidated into one. He
then moved the Order of the Day.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, we be-
here, said it would be more regular for the Right
Hon. Baronet to move an instruction to the Com-
mittee to the effect of his notice.
Sir J. NEWPORT said he was perfectly aware that
such was she usual course, but he had thought it
more fair to give notice of his intention.
The Order of the Day having been read,
Mr. C. H. Hurcitieson said, when he last ad-
dressed the House on Friday, he mentioned that h
had not up to that time received any comalllneffill.
tiers from any part of lieland on the subject of IWO
Bills. Since then, however, he had received a nos.
munication from a person of high influence and au-
thority among the Roman Catholic Clergy of Ire-
laud, expressing his decided disapprobation of the
measure. He did not know whether that perseassis
at the time in possession of the amesediediblla *it
he lictitroest-snot; he did not therefitri-Friosiitow
far the alterations might remove Ins objection. He
had been that morning informed that a meeting
of the Catholic Prelates was to be held in Dublin
that day, the result of which would probably fur-
nish him with an opportunity of a fuller corn-
mastication ou the subject. Having been at
all times fur unqualified concession of the eluims
of his Catholic fellow-countrymen, lie' had
hitherto refrained from giving any opinion wit
the second Billj; but his Right Honourable
Friend having given notice that he should
move an instruction to the Committee to consoli-
date the Bills into one, he felt it his duty to state
that he could nut consider himself bound not to
move, or to assent if any body the should move,
considerable alterations in the second Bill, which
he flattered himself might be made in the Commit-
tee unobjectionable to the Catholics, and yet not
less satisfactory than at present to the Protestants.
The SPEAKER diet; left the Chair.
The second chase was then read no follows:
" And whereas by other Acts of the said Parliarnewts, cer-
tain other oaths and declarations, commosly called the Oath
and Declaration against T bsiantiation sad the Oath
and Diecleratiou against Transubstantiatio• and Popery,
sad wisest the belief of Transubstantiation, the I evocatios
of the Virgin Mary or other Saints, and the Sacrifice of
the Mau, as used in the Church of Rome, are impaired
to be taken as qualifications fur the enjoyment of rentals
offices, franchises and civil rights Aid whereas all the
said last mentioned oaths and declartions relate irekli to
matters of epitome load religious belief, and du mut in
anywise reline tu, effeci or iuterfere with the allegiance or
civil duty of his Majesty's subjects ; be it therefore farther
reacted and declared, That such parts of the Acts herein
before mestioned, as require any declaration or declarations
to be WWI& against Transubstantiation, or egainst the hero-
cation of the Virgin Mary or other Saint, or Realest
the sacrifice of the mass, as a qualification to citable his Me:
jesty's subjects to take, bold or enjoy any civil right, office
or franchise, be and the same are hereby absolutely repeal-
ed, sod such declaratives shall uo longer be tendered or re-
quired to be made by any of his Majesty's 'subjects, by virtue
or is execution of the said ACIN ur any of them, save as
hereinafter mentioned."
Sir J. NEWPORT moved some verbal amend-
ments, which were agreed to.
Mr. PEEL observed, that in the preamble men-
tion was made of '4 the oath and declaration against
transubstatitiation," but in the enacting part of the
clause, .‘ the declaration" only was mentioned.
Sir J. NEWPORT said, it had been deemed ae-
cessary, inasmuch as the saute variance was found
between the preamble and the esite:tisig clause of
the Act which it was intended to repeal ; and the
wording of that preamble, and also of that enacting
clause, had been therefore literally cowed.
Mr. Peat, could not help thinking there was
still souse little error in the phraseology. The
clause stated, that •• the oaths aid declarations
related solely to matter* of spiritual amid religious
belief, and dad nut interfere with the allegiance or
civil duty of his hisijesty'a subjects." Now the fact
was, tl ut the opinions mentioned in the oaths mill
declurstimit certainly reluteal oily to spiritual and
religious be:it 1, and did not intr. fere with allegiance
or civil duty, but the oaths themselves did certainly
apply to allegiance and civil duly, inasmuch us
the purpose of their euactnient was in reactant the
Catholic from entering into certain offices.
Sir T. B. LETHBRIDGE said, lie had heard sio er-
gement tot onvince him that he ought, as a guardian
of the Relish Constitution, to consent to the clause.
He tell convinced, that whenever these Bills pasted
the British Coostitution would be shaken. If they
passed these Bills they must gas still farther; they
must repeal the Corporation and Test Acta, and then

that in

Ireland the' majority were Catholics; but Ireland
was now a tart of the United Kingdom, awl
it was no use talking, he was convinced th.t
the majority of the whole population was Pm-
tessaut. (Afase(s laughter.)—He had been called
sob? the Honourable Member for Nottingham, to
pave that any 111 consequence hal followed from
admitting Catholics to office under a Protestaiit
Government I he was not prepared to arswer the
Honourable Member's call—he did not knew how
it might be in other countries, but it was toile
enough for him to know the evils which Cathi.lit
whi.n in power had produced io this country. The
Honou'rable Gentleman who introduced this
memir,: said its effect would be to conciliate the
Catholic,.•cd to give security to the Protestant ;
but before it hs.! proceeded two stages, i 4 printed
Paper had been cires.!aterl, signed by Dr. Milner,
Welter Blount, and bl.. Benson—(L segliter)—
which was strongly opposed iz"s it. Dr. Milner, it
was said, was too rigid a Cathotu cod the Noble
Lord, the Member for Aylesbury (Lord (Lord Nu

gent)the other day very facetiously recommenJed
(Sir T. B. L.) to keep Dr. Milnei'a company t but
lie must tell the Noble Lord, us he neither knew.
nor cared for Dr. Milner, he was not disposed to
keep him company; but as the Dr. was a rigid
Catholic, he should have supposed that he might
have found a reception with some part of the
Noble Lord's family. Dr. Milner was a rigid
Catholic, and was opposed to those Bills—and so
would all good Catholics, whatever might be the
case with persons who were willing to tamper with
religion in order to gratify their ambition. The
Catholics were right in opposing those Bills, anti
he did not blame them. He gave them credit for
adhering to their religion, but he looked on that
religion as the grossest absurdity—(Laughter)—it
would not bear the light —( Laughter) —it could
not stand for a moment against the pure doctrines
of the Protestant Church. It was exclusive and
intolerant, and what it was was folly proved by
that precious document which bed been so much

cried up, the Spanish Constitution, which shewed
it to be still what it was in former times. They
ought net, therefore, to come dawn, and with a
false liberality abanties the semeritirs which they
♦sipmeseed against the Catholics. He would mot
object to their having silk gowns in ',Avid. as
long as they remained excluded from the bench;
but es long as he was a member of that House, he
should feel it to be his duty to oppose their admis-
sion to the high offices of State, or to seats in Par-
liament.

Mr. MARTIN (of Galway), thought he might
apostrophize the Honourable Baronet who had just
sat down. The Honourable Baronet having ob.
jected to the repeal of the oath against transub-
stantiation, because he thought the Constitution
would thereby be endangered, he (Mr. Martin)
thought it would not he unreasonable to tequila
the Hon. Baronet to chew what connexion there M4ll
between the doctrine of transubstantiation, which her
knew the Catholics believed, and the want of al-
legiance in those who believed it. As to she ido-
latry attributed to Catholics, for their worship of
the Virgin Mary, or any other saint, they repelled
the charge, and :heeling:red any idolatrous feeling
as much u the Hon. Baronet, or any other Mem-
ber of that House. The Hon. Ikronet had raid
the Catholics were intolerant—what they were in
other countries l►e would not pretend to soy, but
in England and Ireland they were far front it. lu
Ireland he had been accustomed to see Catholics
and Protestants; and he saw the Catholic wile

educating her children in the Protestant faith,
egreeably to the wishes of her licsband. The
husband went to the church, the wife to the chapel ;
end on their return home they were to be found
living in perfect concord. This proved sufficiently
that there they were not intolerant. But he could
refer to a stronger instance, well known to the
Gentlemen of the long robe—of a govern's', who
though a strict Catholic, had declared upon oath.
that when a Protestant child was Intrusted to her
charge she felt, herself bound to instruct it its
the principles of the Protestant church, agree-
ably ti the desire of its parents. The Ho-
nourable Baronet had referred to Dr. Milner; but
the opposition of Dr. Milner to there Bills was
doubly against the opposition of the lion. Baronet.
—(Hear, hear.)—He presumed the Hou. Baronet
woe adverse to the spread of Popery. Whet said
l)r. Milner on ti'ia occasion ? That which he end
all the clergy in Ireland stated in objection to this
measure way that it would subvert the Itomets
Catholic religion. Subvert what ? Why, that re-
ligion which it was the object of the lion. Baronet
to put down. Ile therefore thought he might reit-
sonaldy apostrophise the Hon. Baronet—(Lougis-
ter)—anit call upon him is consistency to vote f r
this clause.—(Leaghter.)

enacting part of the clause, sud

Sir J. AIACKINTOSH gave some expianshers us
reply, but both spoke in so low a toned* to prevent
our collecting the purport of their obserratious.
Sir G. HILL said, an Honourable Gentleutasi„ sit
a former esening, had endeavoured to ttir.,ve a great
deal of ridicule oto our limestone for being eu
surd as to adopt this oath ; but the view which hr
had taken of the sti6j..ct was Rut histuric.lly cor-
rect ; it was nut adopted for the purpose of eettiug
up what was their view of religion, but to exclude
the Catholics from office bring their object, they
adopted this oath as the means of accusing that
object, by detecting them. The Hon. Baronet
proceeded to object to the clau,e as it now stood.
He wished the clause to rums thus—that lostrad of
the worths. " be it therefore further s tut :1 utl and
