Intent —I Mend.- .

Lewd CARBERRY made • few observations on this notice,
whkb were newly inaudibly below the bar : we understood the
Noble lewd to object to the present mode of appointing diocesan
schoolmates, and to suggest the propriety of suspending the
powers of Ilse Hoard of Education during- the inquiry of the Cont.
nonce appointed by their Lordships, relative to education in
Ireland.

The Earl d I.IVURPOOL hoped that the Noble Lord would
not make • motion in eoshwnilti with his suggestion, without
giving provisos notice of his intention to do so.
RESTORATION OR ATTAINTEI) PF:ERMIES.

The Earl of LIVERPO4H, stated to their Lordships that he
role, in obedience to his Majesty's command, to lay several Bills
on their Lordships' milk, the dined of which was for the restoration
ot honors to certain individuals. the titles of whose anteaters had
been attainted. In bringing this subject under their Lordships'
consideration, it was only necessary for him to say a few words to
put them in possession of the areunistanees that laid the founds.
tion of this measure at this particular period. When his Majesty
was graciously to visit his Seeteb dominions, two years
since, nod was the first time that any of his illustrious house
had honoured with their presence that part of the empire, and the
Ent time, indeed, that any British Monarch had gone there since
the revolution. it was net unnatural that individuals should hunt-
t.l y implore his Majesty for a restoration of those honours to their
families that their anceators had been deprived of, they being con-
scious that their predominate and themselves lisdacted with loyalty
towards his Majesty. and tie Mealtime father for the last sixty
years ; and their Lordship' name feel areurei that it was not in-
simistent with his Majesty's dignity to attend is their petition, but
it re.r.i.ed a good deal of corMderation sad , and he was
offs new enabled to lay four Bills on thole table, wilds inquiryreference to
ear on individuals he should have the bonnier to name to their
1, ;dishing. These 11,11 a included four eases of attainder, and were
dar.:ent to other Acts, because emanating from the (*oven they
came down signed by the King. The reeding of the names of the
individuals win had thus been graciously moldered, their Lord-
ships would perceive that tin disposition to act on a narrow policy
had been evinced : and it was material for him to state, drat these
Acts rested entirely on grace and favour. Ile said this because no
consideration would induce him to bring forward any question that
would involve points as to the propriety and justice of those prn-
ceedings, that had deprived the ancestors of the individuals in ques-
tion of their honours. lie would repeat, that this could only be
considered as an act of grace and favour, springing from the kind
ehmerition of the Sovereign on the throne, tomuds certain indivi-
duals, by griming them the restoration of the Mimes rtf their
house., those individuals having anew ted the notice of his Ma-
jeyty he reason of their loyalty foe many years. I 'pon this part of
the slibiect he did not feel it necessary to say more, fee the four
Acts to which he alluded could only he looked mom as pave ermine-
:

and favour. combined as they were wish an act of justice towards
a most respectable individual, and of doing away the
stigma that ever fell on the Parliament of this matey inort,
the wore periods of her history. The Noble Earl then luovelf
that a Bill he read a drat time to ream the Emblems of Marr t 4,
John Francis Erskine, Esq. ; that a Bill also he read a first time to
r-sture the Earldom of Keemaur to John Donlon, Esq. t that •
Bill be also read • first time for restating the Earldom of Strada.

that he held in his hand a 11111, sired by his Majesty, entitled nit
Act to reverse the attainder of Lord StMreird, respecting which all
parties agreed that it was one of the greatest blots in the history of
the English Parliament. The Noble Earl then moved that the
Dill he read • lire time.
