Mr. V. SCULLY said it was quite clear that those
who auppurreit the motion were not sincere in their
alleged dire for an inquiry—in fact, they bad ..theek.
S'lve3 ay.wed their inbireerity. This was mqlell
a sf. p to the aboli,h:nent of Maynooth alto!
gether, which they were pared to effect
pre
wi'hout the slightest inquiry. They wished to have I!
kind of inquisition to upset the grant, and that wool°
lead to the destruction of the College. Lie agreed le
thinking that the proposal for inquiry was a mere
for it inquiry was earnestly wished for, it could be b
at once under the powers exercised by the visitors.
