CATHOLIC RELIEF BILL.
On the order of the day being read for going int°
Committee on this Bill,
Sir R. H. INGLIS said, that when he recollected hel
often the House had rejected the measure, and that 10
was rejected in the last session by a majority of 120 eui
80, he thought that the most fastidious Member WelL
not accuse him of giving unnecessary trouble to !..;
House when he asked the House to rescind the decill%
to which it had arrived upon the measure a short
it:111110
since, and return to the sound principle upon whicu„es
had acted last session. When he considered the inite..:lo
importance of the principles involved in this measure be
trusted that he had still less reason to apologise to

of England, but one which, in his opinion, struck tty
at the Protestantism of the country. He was pellirna•
ready to acquit the Hon. and Learned Member for Ply
sale (Mr. I'v atson) of any intention to bring abotitor,'
disastrous state of things. He was aware that the m-t9l;
Member (Mr. 'Watson) had introduced several clauge.to
avert the opposition to this measure ; but these 0110
referred only to the latter portion of the Bill, and
wholly untouched the great objections to it. The, to
not so far change or modify its character all 0
justify him (Sir R. Inglis) in relaxing his opposition 0
it. He considered that England was a Protestant so
and empire, and the Bill under consideration had fo4o.
objt ct the complete destruction of that character. ,Phigs
lie asked the law advisers of the Crown to lend
their attention, while he showed that it would lievetint
effect of endangering the security of the Prete! be
Church in this country. Now the point to whic' sl
wished to direct their attention was, that it would rescs
the 30th of the Act of Charles 11., and also the ,b 0
passed in the second session of the same year. 'IA.
Act made it imperative on all the Members of the 0
gislature and upon the Sovereign to make a declared 011
to maintain the Protestant Church in this country 1'149,
its integrity. Now by the Relief Act passed in ?ate
the declaration, as far as regarded the Members 0t.,!..0,
Legislature, was partially repealed ; but the declaratffoi
as far as reJ:irded the Sovereign of these realn3s+
rwoh,
left untouched. It was necessary that every rano,
on accession to the throne, should make this declarat
and he believed that many of them had witriesgis,
the present most gracious Sovereign making re.
But if this Act of the 30th Charles 11. were wh°llloof
pealed, he would ask what would remain for the 131,9
flights to work upon? He believed it would bee.u,7o
wholly nugatory. Now, let the House recollect 'iron
that declaration was the testimony of. the.
_il° oss
against the Catholic religion, and was the foundMiu_4o
which the claim of the House of Hanover to the thro_
of these realms rested. If this Bill, theret°;i:
passed, the Bill of Rights would become negat'2ol,
