[N.Ew TIMES.]
On the general question of Catholic Relief, we
do hot mean to offer any more remarks. A ma-
jority of the House of Commons has declared in
favour, of the Bill ; possibly a majority of the.
House of Lords may declare against it; and
in such a dilemma it may, perhaps, become us
to say, non nostrum est lambus componere
But there is a passage in a Sunday Paper, to
which we feel hound to advert,relative to a colla-
teral point, on which we have heretofore expressed
an opinion.] " Some learned person" says John
Bull, " have- been pleased to admire the speech I
which Mr. Horace Twiss was pleased to make:'
We certainly expressed our admiration of that
speech, as a cloae_and logical argument ; and if
John 13411meant.to designate us as " learned per-
sons," we are sorry we cannot return the compli-
ment. A great part of Mr.Twiss's reasoning was
founded on the preamble to a statute passed in
the reign of Charles IL John Bull, in the first
supposes that Mr. Twiss meant the
Test Act (St; 25 Car. 11. c. 2.), and in the second
place, he broadly asserts that " there is no such
passage as that which Mr. Twiss either quoted,
or is said to, have quoted, in any statue what-
ever." If this were true, Mr. Twiss. must have
possessed singular hardihood to cite in the.
House of Commons a pretended preamble of a.
pretended Statute. that never• existed ; artud,
We must have.: been singularly " unlearned
persons" to, have applauded, him . for , the (po-
tation. But the "fact is, that Mr. Twiss quoted the
preamble to 'it) Charles I L.. gtat.i2, which is in
the following words Forasmuch as divers
good laws have been made for preventing the in-
crease and danger of Popery in this Kiogdom,
whiar have not had the desired effects, by reason,
of the free access which Popish, recusants have
had to his Majesty's Court, and by reason of the
liberty of late dome of- the recusants have
had and talea to 'sit and vote in Parlia,ment ;
wherefore, and for the. safety of. Iris Majesty's
Royal Person and• Government, he',it enacted, &c."
Nqw this preamble, and the enactment grounded,
ttit k,.are conclusive
.to prove Mr. Twiss's asst.!,
tioct, that, -until' toward the close of Charles
IC's reign, Catholics had liberty. to sit and
vote in Parliament ;, and that it„.rit3 this Sta,
tote, made la, tbe year 1677, which first ex-
chided them, for the reasons therein set forth.
whieh reasons (as well the diverszoodlaws as the
danger to the King-,and Government from the
Popish Plot) have now .ceased altogether to ex-
ist. After the strange confusion thus commit,
ted between the Test Act and -the Act for cijs.
