7'ke net. Richard Horrabiu'r examination continued .

By the rules of thole schools, are porticos of Scripture'
taught as lessons ?—Tite reading lessons are extracted Iron,
what is called the Protestant version oldie Scriptures.
Dues that throw bey obstacle in the way to Catholic
Maidens attending?—None vrbatever' because they are mere
reading lessons; and the s. halloo has been made in such a
manner an nut at all to 110.4 f -re with their own tenets.
By the rules of those ale children allowed to at.
tend their own place of celigi.nis worship?—Certainly ; au!
it is wished particularly to cufnrr.. it..
Is there any 'toted; runee. • talwr La 10 CM edlinn or to
Aural atteudanee ? None what. ver intertert ore ist
legions matters whatever; in fact, 1,14 has noticing to sju
with the school, nor has the school any thin to do with reli•
'ion.
You mean it is merely a school Cur teaching to read anal
write !—Certainly
If any ea!lechesons were taught, or any religions
Vance. exacted, would that oppose an uhataele to Catholic
children attending o—lt would be an iusurniouutabl. dilre•
(rutty; wc should send none.
Has any obstacle hero thrown in the way of Catholiee
attending those schools, or Catholic priests enot.ilmlific tr
them by the superior orders of the Catholic clergy in to
Imams district?—None, to my knowledge..
What books are used ?—lto books whatever, the lesson.
are *elected on the Lancasterian plan.

Hut what are thou lessons ?—They are taken from the
Protestant version of the Scriptures.
Are they taken from the Old ur New Testament, or from
both ?—From both.

Are the lessons which have been selected numerous, or
few HNut very numerous but the whole of the ',election
uas not printed, it was not deemed necesaryi but time was
a numerous collection marked out.
To be used, if wanted?—Certainly.
Do you know who made the selection was made by
■ Stub-Committee, of which I was one of the parties; but I
most beg leave to stale, we consider them merely as reiulit:
lessons; generally, wo selected such parts to which no oh.
jertiun could be taken to the children's reading; as fur in.
stance, if a school were opened in Turkey, I might Out ult.
jerl to lessons taken from the Koran, if they did nut inter.
tree with 4he religious tenets.
Is the Testament or B:ble generally read, or only those
extracts?—Ouly those extracts, we *hunk' object to the
Bible or Testament being And..

What description of persons besides yourselves were upon
the committee who made this selection ?-1 bvlicre Probs.
tants of every denomination.
And your object, the Committee presume, in making this
at 'cabin was to avoid every thing that might bear
lady on the tenets of any party. ?—Certeioly.
You attended this Committee, you have said, two year,
ago, at which time the Rev/James Archer, a Roman Catholic
pi iest, was examined, and you stated upon that occasion that
you contented with what he had gi• en in evidence as nesly
aa possible; the question which was put to the Ray. 11r.
Archer was, " Do you apprclieud there would he any
cony in teaching the towel ordes s of Catholics at Protestant
schools, where select portions of the Scriptures were n ad,
and no catechism tan4lit ?" and the Rev. M . Archer%
answer was, " I think the difficulty would be insupttable ;"
how do you reconcile that answer, amid your former coinci-
dence of opinion with Mr. Archer, in your statement made
to the Committee ?—I must beg la ave to make a distinction ;
Mr. Archer probably understood the questiou, would we
admit our children to learn ri ligious duties by re ',hug
the Protestant version of the Scriptures, and therefore tae
answered, that the difficult. would be insuperable; in which
I perfectly coincide. I wish to make another distinction;
the Committee said " fieolealart schools ;" the British
(lion School is not a Protesiaot school ; It is a school
fur allclensiminatiouse and the Committee is attended by
prisons of every religions denomination, and therefore net
exclusively Protestant; and I beg further to observe, that
we should not make the same allowance to an exclusive
Protestant school, as to UPC in which the Catholics linen a
part of the Committee. I beg it to be underatouil, that
religion has nothing la du with the school, nor lias the ICIIUtiI
any thing to do with religion, as I answered before.
Do you conceive, that ally peculiar tenets would be inns!.
sated by simply teaching the children to read the Protestant
version of the Scriptures, without any note or comment what.
ever ?—I conceive the inteutiou is, to teach Protestant ,ter.
trine by simply reading the Scriptures without note and coon
ment ; because upon That, accurdiug to my notion, the Pro-
testant religion is grounded. .
Suppose the Scriptures are read without any note or rem-
nient, in what way do you conceive that such reading iucul
eatee the doctrine of the Protestant any more than of the
Catholic, or any other sect '—Because the reader is left t
fonts his own judgment.
If a render were always to form his own judgment when he
reads the Holy Scriptures, does it follow that that readv-
must necessarily become a Protestant ?—Ceitaitaly not, be-
cause some have become Catholics from reading inc CO.,
test ant version.
. .

But if, by reading the Scriptures without note or COM-
Went, a person may become either Protestant or
ur any utber sect, how dues the bare reading without twie
air comment, teach Protestantism rather than Cathiil.rigin '—
My answer is this; because be seems thereby to ..et aside
Ilw authority of the Catholic Chun h, from whcitti he is to
receive the Scriptures according to one doctrine.
The Committee wish to know, whether, practically, (IA •
cultic' sense iu the committee to the selectinK of pass.tgt;
of the Scriptures for the children to read 7—Very few.
And were those difficulties cagily arranged and siorinount-
ed t—Certainly, very easily.
Has there beets any dissatisfaction on the part of any ea
tholic, with the arrangement that Was since twined —1 lceu
heard of mine. _ _
