CATHOLIC RELIEF BILL.

On the order of the day being read for going into
Committee on this Bill,
Sir R. H. INGLIS said, that when he recollected ber;
often the House had rejected the measure, and that .10
was rejected in the last session by a majority of 120 lid
80, he thought that the most fastidious Member wela
not accuse him of giving unnecessary trouble to !,..0
House when he asked the House to rescind the decision
to which it had arrived upon the measure a short tit
since, and return to the sound principidlneertehudipsotnihneetsuhich
luotoie:
had acted last session. When he con
importance of the principles involved'

disastrous state of things. He was aware that the to
Member (Mr. Watson) had introduced several clauses
avert the opposition to this measure ; but these cke...asl
',,,ft
referred only to the latter portion of the Bill, and
d
wholly untouched the great objections to it. They ".
to
not so far change or modify its character e• to
justify him (Sir R. Inglis) in relaxing his opposition
it. He considered that England was a Protestant ett,
and empire, and the Bill under consideration had for 107
object the complete destruction of that character. 14,,a°
he asked the law advisers of the Crown to lend u.Ti.
their attention, while he showed that it would ha're,"-t
effect of endangering the security of the Protest
Church in this country. Now the point to which I
wished to direct their attention was, that it would repeat
the 30th of the Act of Charles 11., and also the A
passed in the second session of the same year. -1;,,
Act made it imperative on all the Members of the .11;0
gislature and upon the Sovereign to make a declaration
to maintain the Protestant Church in this country iii

its integrity. Now by the Relief Act passed in 18t
the declaration, as far as regarded the Members of tri.
_,
Legislature, was partially repealed ; but the declaration'
as far as regarded the Sovereign of these realms, wh_
'
left untouched. It was necessary that every monar
ou accession to the throne, should make this declaration'
and he believed that many of them had witliessl't.

But if this Act of the 30th Charles IL were who'll ry,..f
pealed, he would ask what would remain for the Bill
lights to work upon? He believed it would becen%
wholly nugatory. Now, let the House recollect that
that declaration was the testimony of the
against the Catholic religion, and was the foundation%
which the claim of the House of Hanover to the throne
of these realms rested. If this Bill, therefore,
passed, the Bill of Rights would become nugatory'
_
and the security of the Established religion endangers:
The Hon. Member here recited the declaration of Le:
30th of Charles 11., and asked the Hon. Member (Btr.
Watson) whether this Bill would not shake that !
which it was secured that this countryshould always
