HOUSE OF LonDs.
MONDAY. APRIL ri.
IRISH DEEDS BILL.

The Earl of BLESSINGTON, rising to move the com-
mittal of the Irish Deeds Registration Bill, said, before he
called the attention of their Lordships to the Order of the Day,
lie wished to make a lew observations on a paragraph which had
appeared in an Irish newspaper, published in Dublin. lle was
not in the habit of complaining to their Lordships of personal
attacks in the shape of libels, but as the subject of Registering
!reeds was to be resumed in that Howe, he was desirous of let-
ting editors of newspapers know to what extent his opinions;
went, in order that they might juit4e what the) had to
laid been misrepresented with respect to what he said
as applicable to the University of Dublin. Notwitla tandmg his
explanation on a former day, in that House, a 'mom belonging
to the University of Dublin had thought proper to address a
letter to the Editor of a Dublin Paper. hAtied " The Ems lof
Llcblingiott v. 11w Unita:TM!, tf Dublin." In that letter, which
was signed t• l'iudex," the writer wished to make the public
br.iev.: he had malevolently attacked the Bishop of Droinore, and
persons with whom he had been all his lire on terms of friend-
ship. lie repeated again that he bad no personal hostility to-
w:ads the University of Dublin ; and he was Anxious to say, it
case he was again niisrepresented, that he should claim the pro-
tection of thut House. The noble Earl concluded by moving
the committal of the Bill.

The LORD CHANCELLOR said, he was persuaded the
noble Earl would not press the committal of this Bill until the
House was prepared to receive it. A noble and learned friend
(Loud Redestlale) who opposed it was not present.—With respect
to his own opinion, it appeared to his ♦,urdship, that some
amendment in the Act of the ath of Que• Anne would answer
oil the object of the noble Earl's Bill.
The Earl of BLESSING 'ON said, his intention upon this
occasion was to get the Bill into Committee for the purpose of
having it printed. 11 it should incur the adverse opinion of the
noble and Wattled lord, he should not press it.
The Bill was then committed pro
„porno, and ordered to be
primed.

from the Synod of and Ayr, desiring him to ptescnt a
pet.tion which he then held in his hand. lie had lime doubts
upon the regularity of presenting it ; but understanding the pe-
tdioners referred to a matter which might be known to tile house,
he should lay it before their lordship..
The petition ass then read, and it appeared that the peti-
tioners adverted to the intended motion calling upon parliament
to admit Catholic Peers to seats in that hoot e; and they.praycil
the lotds to resist any innovation of that sort. The petition was
un the table.
