some length its provisions. It appeared from

a return
moved for last year, that no less than between
3,000 and 4,000 Roman Catholic prisoners were incarceratd
in the prisons in England and Wales, independently of
between 1,400 and 1,500 in convict establishments, and
he was afraid that the number at the present
was somewhat larger. It was only right that these unfor-
tunate persons should have the benefit of the ministrations
of the clergy of their own religious persuasion. The prin-
ciple had long received the sanction of the house in regard
to the military who were Roman Catholics, for whom
chaplains were provided at home and abroad, and paid out
of the sums annually voted by the house. The bill was one
which would carry out in an unobjectionable manner those
principles of civil and religious liberty which had now for
many years characterised the bent of legislation. Tho bill
was not hostile to the Church of England. He trusted the
house would see the expediency and propriety of acceding
to the s' cond reading of the bill.
Mr. G. LANGTON rose to move that the bill be read a
second time this day six months.
Col. BARTTELJT seconded the amendment.
