Loyd MORPETH presented a petition from the Ma-

Gore Jones. The Noble Lord stated that lot had to apo-
bYtise to tine Magistrates, and to the Hon. Baronet oppo-
site ( Sir R. im.teson) for not having presented the petition sooner
He felt bound Iv say that Mr. Gore had, in many instances,
Proved himself a; very useful officer ; but in justice to the pe-
titioners he must aLld, that his opinions, as expressed before
the Committee, were unmeasured and indiscriminate. 'rho
Government did not make any complaint against the Magis-
trates in question ; he believed that they had endeavoured to
discharge their duties with zeal and ability. If the Corn-
rnittee had been still sitting, before whom the charges
*ere made, it would be a very reasonable ground for
,
"1C Magistrate demanding to have an opportunity of rebut-
ling these charges. But as the Committee was not sitting, as
2t Was not pvcn the same session of Parliament, and as, above
alf, the Orange body, with respect to which these charges had
originated, had subsequently dispersed itself, he hoped' that
this matter would be allowed to rest, and to be forgotten.

Sir ROBERT BATESON- said that as he-was con-
nected with the county from which this petition came,
lie wished to make a few observations with reference to it.
Air. Gore Jones had accused the Magistrates in his evi
Bence before the Committee of being Orangemen ; and he
further stated that he had been constantly in the habit of at-
tending the petit sessions. The mazistrltes had held a meet-
ing, consisting of eleven of their body, and came to resolu-
tions declaring that, with one exception, none of them were
Orangemen ; and this gentleman, who was an Orangeman, be-
.came so in 1789, but had not attended the meetings since.
The Magistrates came to resolutions declaring the statements
"f Mr, Gore Jones were wilful and direct falsehoods, and
that he never attended the petit sessions daring a period
,_l5l two years, except once or twice, although he had declared
'himself a constant attendant of these sessions. He (Sir R.
'eiateson) was glad to In‘ar the declaration of the Noble Lord,
,tl..„'at his Majesty's Government attributed no blame to the ma.
tastrates; but at the same time he thought the Noble Lord
should have gone further, and acquitted them altogether of
theti unfounded charges brought against them by Mr. G. Jones.
i'vei
re were eleven gentlemen of all parties, for there were
ugs amongst them as well as Tories, most respectable men,
Noh, ,
. ore publicly assailed—they call upon the Government for
~asmeuiry into their conduct, and yet they arc refused—that
a great hardship. Mr. Gore Jones had threatened thorn
han action for libel—they dared him to it and lie then re-
Ifc'd to go on—they therefore had no other way of getting
wir characters cleared but by an enquiry, to which they were
ctliitled.—( Hear.) The Government bad removed Mr.
Gore
..lones from that district, but that was not
leiceugli—if be were guilty he ought to be removed
t: m the service of Government, as he would be unfit
to
serve in any other county in Ireland. On many oecasions
r had acted in a very illegal manner, setting the Magistrates
tthe country at defiance. Only in July last, he went into the
otts,
of a man, named Kennedy, and violently assaulted him ;
I_
forcibly took possession of two guns, though lie was
vi " n the certificate for one, and the other was a yeomanry
?one
• Luckily, it was during divine service, and the peoplet

te re not in the way, otherwise the consequences might have

Nallees connected with an Orange procession in a town in the
r*tura) of Ireland, which was conducted in a most peacealti4;man-
until by the unwarrantable interference of Mr. Gore Jones,

took their colours from the Orangemen, a riot ensued of a
to}` serious character. Eleven farmers were taken up for that
bihr• etlee` and were at once acquitted—the Learned ledge ( Pen_

DUBLIN UNIVERSITY.

Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD presented a petition
from the Protestant Graduates of Trinity College, Dublin,
praying the House to take such measures as were best
calculated speedily and effectually to remove the obsta-
cles which prevented students who professed the Roman
Catholic religion, or belonged to Dissenting Churches,
from obtaining scholarships in that University. The peti-
tion was signed by seventy-two graduates of Trinity Col-
lege of the highest respectability; at the head of the names
was Mr. Richards, the Solicitor-General for Ireland, and his
name was followed by those of two King's Counsel, two Mem-
bers of Parliament, and several others of the most respectable
members of the Colle7e. If the subject were not taken up by
some other Member atter able to do justice to it, he would
early in the next session bring it before Parliament.
Mr. F. SHAW thought the request very unreasonable.
The governing body of the University was Protestant. The
scholars formed part of the governing body, and part of their
duty was to officiate in the Collegiate Church. Was it, then,
reasonable, that persons who were not members of the Esta-
blished Church-should be admitted to scholarships?
After a few words from Mr. H. GRATTAN, the petition
was laid on the table.
