Mr. NtiPttaa rase to propose, that the Petitions
prevented tole House on the subject of Tithes be

dient that the owners of Titles should be ordered
to receive the automat thereof iu money, instead of

awl the occupiers of laud. It would he much
better to iatrothice a definitive instead of a general
and unlimited inquiry. The Committee, a. 111
rret.esit called fur, could not arrive at a practical
conclusion.

Mr. BRAND said, that the question of tithes was
not only iminntatit, on account of the effect it•pro-
ductal on agriculture, but also from the operati

creating a disunion between thesis and the Clergy.
inquiry certainly embnired it wide range,
but it Will. 14 a nature which required that a full
scope should lie allowed to receive the • opinivits of
all upon so vital a question. The present time was
iihrticularly favourable for the cotwideration of this
in. asure ; fianterly, when it had beets thought of,
it was urged that the Clergy and Laity were in hot-
tility with each other, and therefore that a mutually
satisfactory arrangement was impracticable : this
could not now be said to be the case, for it was ge-
nerally admitted that no perious were, in these
times, less oppressive than the Clergy, its the exer-
cise of their pcivileges. The fact was, there were
two distinct interests its omelet). which welt in
their comiecitietices creative of jealousy. Now,
could those be acc hated Ile thought
they could, and he brought to an understand-
ing, alike favourable to the cause of religion
and to the mutual interests of the parties in cases
of property. There could be no difficulty in
mitering upon the adjustment of this comprehen-
sive measure, although he could easily think that
it would be the best policy to leave the future de-
tails of the plats in the lituals of Governtnetif, who
could, from its influence with the higher orders of
the clergy, attain a e satishictory result than
could be expected if left in other hands. Mr.
Pat's measure was only interrupted by the circum-
stance of the Laud Tax, with the collection of
which, it was thought, the arratigement might then
hail-fere. Ho concluded by hoping, that this di,-
ma.-ion would lead Gayer iiiii ent to adopt some
measure for the Illiuroremeltt of the ',reseal system.
Mr. SMITH explained.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHFQUER felt that

question as it utr.:ctill the agricultural interest ;
and, an the other, as it coueenied the Clergy. The
.questi had, however, 'become inure complicated

practice of subdivisions of lauded tenures, and the
division of properties in Initial, quite exclusive of
the ecclesiastical interest. It Will net, therefore, a
question between the clergy and the laity, but be-
tween the members of tow laity themselves. The
( louse could not, he ildiunted, be better employed
than in metliatilig between the !unties. The Hon.
Mover hail very properly disclaimed touching upon

afraid that it might not produce the anticipated

of the ambiguity of the resolution, and reducing
it to • simpler shape, he would propose as au
sunentlineut, that, atter adopting the former part of
the IZ...soltitiou, the Cosumittve should then be di-
rected to enable the litter-huller to grant leases

Sir Wm. Scorn rose, for the purpose alone of
removing the unjust opiiiiiin that the Clergy were
interested in the continuance of any op preasive
measure segainst the Laity. This unfounded 'mi.
Mon had been circulated in ptililicatious cmuiug
from respectable authorities, conveying assertioos
as unfounded in pistil of bet, use they were
false and comensptible in point of reasoning,
if it were not misapplying the. term to use
it whets speaking of the maws; of such books.
—Look, for instance, at Mr. Middleton's Sur-
vey. whirls had obtained the prize from the
Provisional Society of Bath and %Veils. Any
one who Iwd read that publication, and knew the
real state of the case, must know that its imputa-
tions were unfounded. The Clergy were nut to be
assailed in this expurte manner. They weiw a body
interwoven with the community in every sense—
they enlightened and adorned the temples in which
they officiated—they were iii science and literature
the most they ought not to he
exposed to imputation's which their tharacrers di..
avowed. If the records of Courts of Justice were
consulted, they would demonstrate that the frauds
in tithe matters did not beluug to the demands of
the Clergy, but to the resistance of the patty who
ought to pity them. In giving a reluctant
consent to this motion, he would yet entreat tie
Hume to consider the cotnierpietices whirls might
result from a immure like that proposed to them.

INA CASTLEREAGH moil, that in every measure
which it might lweinne the duty of Parliament to
ritio:lder, they should lit-ver lose sight of the prin-
ciple of inviolable NMI absolute property. which
the Church held in tithes, and which was as sacred
as that of any individual to his private possessions ;
but he still considered it a rational and legitimate
irpleStioll tier Parliament to inquire, how that right
m ght be :-...-i-ts:yril by the Church, with most ad-
va tage to tiara; and lewt injory to others. In
such as consialerapon they must necessarily encoun-
ter great dlitice=".icti in reconciling the contending
interests, but by having recourse solely to a tem-
porary measure, the great and permanent interests
of the Church would mit be endangered, even if it
were in some degree improvident. Ile felt the ne-
cessity and prudence of giving the metope proprie-
tor of hind come security, in case of an expendi-
ture of capital ; and of this lie wag the more a--
cured, by seeing the many arrativmetitii that had
•Iteen occasionally made in several parishes between
the incumbent and the landholders. The security.
litiartver, thus Ktforded. sat of a very doubtful
character; for it might he defeated almost us solo
as made, by a change of the iticombents, as the
clergyman could give no security beyond his on n
incumbency. There would, therefore, he a con-
siderable advantage derived to the cultivator, by
enabling the clergyman to enter into ammo:entente
which would continue in force fur some certain de-
finite 1 etind. He held the principle of property in
the Church to be so high, that he would nut citable
the incumbent to make such arrusi,zetnetits, if they
endangered the security of that property. He,
however, thought it a lair and legitimate object of
inquiry, which it was the duty of Parliament at
least not to oppose, t rem although no good pnic-
ticsl results could be immediately expected. But,
said the Noble Lord, let not the laity suppose,
that if the principle of property he shaken with
respect to the Church. it could not continue much
longer with respect to themselves. Fur the rea,olis
that he had mentioned. be assented to the pruposi.
tion.

Mr. IV Trr tr hoped. that in the event of the
House embracing any measure for enabliug clergy.

rishioners. that the incimilwilt, who with respect
to tithes may be considered as a landlord, should
enjoy the same remedy for the recovery of debts al.

due to I ' should have a preference of all others.

Mr. WaTitanau. contended, that the right of
the Church to the property in tithes, was as sacred
as that of any lay proprietor to his prnoerty.
Whatever measure may be adopted by the House,
►especting the arraugerneuts het wrest the clergy-
man and his parishioners, should be permissive,
and not compulsory, for compulsion would be an
interference with the property of the Church. A
Bill founded on those priut.•tliles would satisfy
every doubt, as it would contain a recognition of
the rights of the Church, and establish their secu-
rity. The•qucation was encompassed be no trifling
difficulties, and he should hold himself quite free
f►oin any pledge to the ulterior adoption of airy
particular plan.
The CHANCELLOR or the Excneanaa and Mr.
WETHERELL explained.
Mr. BROUGHAM was unwilling that the debate
should close with the impression which the observcs
tinier of his Right Hon. and Learned Friend (Sir
11". Scott) were calculated to throw on it, arising,
as it appeared to him, from a total usia osweptiou of
the nature and object of the motion. It was sup-
posed, that the motion had proceeded front a feel-
ing ho►tile to the church; or that at least it donht-
td its rights to the property of tithes, and to
those points, the observations of the gertlemesi op-
tamale were piirecipaily directed. Nothing, hoe-
ever, could be more wide from Isis intention, or
from that of his lion. Friends near hint, than to

rights of ecclerinstical properity—filear. hear. 1—
The Church Inul as undoubted a right to one truth

several plans of commutation that had beer. pro-
posed to the. House, and preferred the purchase of
an evtute for the incumbent, as that which would be
not only most conducive to the interests of the land-
holder, but to the respectability mid interests of
the church, the ease and tranquillity of the clergy-
man, and the general happiness and trangstillity of
the 'mottle. Whatever cominutatitet should take
place, ought, however, to be altogether voluntary,
and lumen tttt ed ou the part of toe church by the
°Moony and lay 'Patron, and all those most lute-

mem ought to remove the alarms that were so ult.
foutidrdly entertained by bus lie ht lime Friend,
for the secure yof reel, *iestit-il property. Ile con-
tended that tittered of suffering by such an agree-
mete. the church would gain considerably. Ile
esttitiated front the returns to the property tax, that
the net medic of the kingdom wt's 50 millions, in-
clieleig of course houses and mines. The gross
rental from whit h tithes were drawn would, how-
ever, nearly double that sum. The hoer of liv-
ings in the kiu.'dom were 10,700, event:ollg about
100/. a-year. There were several thoonamil liviu .r
tinder 801. and malty as low :is 251. or 30/. 'rhia
amounted to about one million ; but even amp-
posing it amount to two millions, it appeared
that the church did not receive one fifth part oetheir
tithes. instead of getting too much, it got ton
little, and would, of course, gain considerably by
the proposed arrangement, and 'even the ',relent
pittance was levied at a greater expense,on the part
of the Church, of character, respectability, tindreat
importance, than any other real er profit in the
klillitbSlL He alluded to the question of Malt
tithes, which, however, its his opinion, required a
distinct iovestigatiou, and should not be blended
with the preeent question. Ile then entered into a
general review of the great disadvantages resulting
to agriculture and the real interests of the Church,
from the present 'pieta of tithes, and concludes' by
expressing a hope that souse measure would be
ndopted, which, by preventing the intereet* of the
Church. from coming into conflict with the most
active posaione of nienkind, and no longer permit-
ting duty from being opposed to interest, would
reconcile conflicting claims, and generate a mu-
tual mid lasting sulvautuge.
Air. PLEL lose, as be said, merely for the pot-
pose of expressing a desire that the proposed to-
quiry respecting tithes might be extruded to be-
hind—because, loot only had petitions twee' sent
from that colliery in favour of s voluntary com-
mutation of tithe', but also, as the present state of
them had been alleged as a subject of discontent,
it would be unjust not to include !reboot in the in-
quiry ; and its by the Ltli erticle of the Act of
Union booth churches were united, it was brtiiting
that whatever measure affected the 'impede of the
(thumb iii one colliery, should ht extended to the

General 31ATIIEW Cod Mr. DALT mutually
explained.
Mr. Paretic stated, that the South of /rebind
was overrun with private stills —awl, certainly, no
mode could be devised so well calculated to re-
move this evil, HS tile. selection or as efficient Ma-
gistracy. Ile kit a high respect for the present
Chancellor of ueland ; and, therefore, it gave him
considerable 1/4111, when he said, that he would
feel it his Hutt', in the course Isla few days, to bring
the comlnetof that Noble Lord, with respect to the
noiniiiation of Magistrates, under the ob,ervattuu of
Parliament.

Mr. PEEL, instead of feeling pain, at the no-
tice which the lion. Gentleman had given, heard
the declaration, that he would bring the conduct of
Lord IVlaimers under the view of Parliament, aid)
very different sensations. This was a manly nod
honourable mode of proceeding; instead of seizia„..
the accidental occasion of a petition being presented
from the Oistillers of Dublin, to throw reflection's
no the highest characters in the country. If the
Hon. Gentlein.isi had any cause of complaiiit, let
I give a fair notice of motion, and ahoy an op-
portunity would he afforded either of having his
eliaoge continued or refuted.
Mr. WINDHAM QUIN said, the Petitioners only
frayed that the duties ought to be lowered, fur the
purpose of preventing the system of illicit distilla-
tom,. They also complained that, moiler the pre-
sent system °flog,' duties, this evil had greatly in-
creased. lie would give one instance:—ln Lime-
rick, not I.:other ilium two years ago, there sere one
still of 1.5u0 gallons, and two of 500.—there was
now but one of SOO, the others had ceaaeol.—
The enormous itmelease of fines fur illicit distil-
lation had gone to such an extent that in the
townlaumls they were so great it was impossible
to levy them. Nu persons would take laud
in those districts !eat they should be liable to
those imposts, and the houses most notorious for
the sale of this Lquor were those in which disorders
of every kind had grown to a great extent.
Mr. IVAI. SMITH said, that the inquiry ought to
be made in the most general manner. In England
the great distilleries had decreased from ten to
four. In Scotimid a similar reduction was found.
The fact was. that be the liquor wholesome or moo',
the cheaper it was the greater was its cotisomption,
and the more insubordination generally followed time
facility of getting it in society. Any body who had
seen lingurtil.ll admirable picture of Gin Alley. had
seen this growth of vice admirably depicted
( lienr)—ia the most strikimo„m, colours. Whatever
inquiry was adopted ought to be a general (late.
Sir N. Cot.Titoare said, the growth of illicit
distillation iu Ireland had goue to a most uuprece-
dented (legate.
The petition was then laid on the table.

Mr. SHAW theu rose to move—

"'Hutt a SAcet 1111 l 'nee be appointed to iuqoite into
11 Cull 61.1. and extent of illicit distillation iu Irelaails nod
also sato the operation of the laws enacted for the pre.veu•
Lion thereof, and to report thereupon."

The Ilo►i. Member enforced the necessity of his
motion by a variety of details respeeting the pro-
duce or the tines laid on townlands, and the ex-
pense incurred in attempting; to levy thew. to
1815, the extreme or prosecutions was 95,0001. the
number prosecuted 6,363. In the sera 1906 and
1807, the law expenses of prosecutions did not
amount to Inure than 7551. while in the years 1814
and 1815, the expenses of the Buitril's Counsel were
14,756!. and of their assistants 15.0001. beside.
53,U00/. for local solicitor's costs, and a second bill
of 52.000/. The lints levied ou counties (and it
wits to be remembered these were not the disturbed
counties), amounted to '.134,750/. viz. in the county
of Galway '2.1,540/.; Leitrim, 21,1991. ; 513iy0,
21.'290/. ; Hoscutninon, 15,4151. ; Sligo, 13,515/. ;
o°lo'ol9 71,540/. ; Cavan, 37,140/. ; and Clare,
:21,500/. Could counties, under such a press of
oppression, 1w quiet or lova' ?—(Heir.)
General HART seconded the motion ;, and to
show the extent of the disasters inflicted upon the
wretched re.isantry by the seizures for these hues,
their horned ►attle were ull gone—their sheep
were also seized, and the roads were now found
strewed with dead lambs, that perished under *c.a.
zure.

Mr. V. FITZGERALD complained of the prestos-
tine mode in winch this dehae was introduced,
when it was well known that Government 111C1411t to
promote an inquiry into this subject. It was well
known that the tales were to inert the expenses of
the prosecution, and that the revenue was necessa-
rily obliged to wake up the deficiency when any
orrice.

Sir Jotix NEWPORT dtfended the system of le-
vying linen int the town-lands. Wilco lie did so,
it was not from any partiality he could be supposed
to have to the measure itself, for he. was no
party to its enactment. He did charge the gen-
tlemen in parts of Ulster with being inattentive
to their fluty in suppressing this evil of illicit dis-
tillation, which led to the utmost profligacy stud
drunkrouess. This charge was aot morel, it bad

earth a great quantity of military arms, which had
hitherto escaped the most active mean:h.—The salu-
tary fear inspired by the vigour of cur resist:nice,
and the energetic measures taken by the main).
contributed in a great degree to their dis-
covery. A few hours later, the :11.).000 inhabitants
of tins city were threatened a ith a general massacre,
and all the horrors of a declared civil war. The
Chiefs were only able to lead astray the ban:-
Lomita of the country, by promising them pillage
and an immense booty. These Chiefs are not yet
taken, but they are known, and among them are
some individuals not likely to platy very inferior parts.
