is dirt it ado,tintt, and h•-• need say nothing to show the
ooreasonablerie.s of it, more than by m•ntusing the fol.
],swing request with which it was connected. It asked
for permission to nury in parochial cemeteries. And in
the last p the petitioners prayei fir an exemption
rotn church rates. There were many ohjections to such
a demand, but he (Mr. Huee.i) considered it really
unr,asonabie that ;wo such demands .hou'd he
,s nothing could demonstrate more fully the atisur,,
airy of one, than that it should be immediately siice..eded
cry the ocher —(Hear, bear.) When the petition. rs
waited on him, be stated his total dissent from three parts
.if their petition. In fact they, in his mind, had little
to complain of; as far as concerned the bolding m chip c. es,
they were just situated in the same way as the tnewbers of
other Christian communiti,s. Protes•anis built churches
and were n16.-,ted to pay rates—and Lk iv se
senters built their chore` es and wire liable to the same
rate,,, so that there was a similarity between them as re.:
;larded all to the support of their respective
churches. The Hon. A.lotober alluded to a book called
the " Parliamentary Comp.nion," a v• ry useful one cer-
tainly—in which he (Mr. Hughes) was described as pos.
s-ssing some share of Church patronage. He begged to
state that such was not the case. _

Mr. HARVEY begged to say, that he considered thC
Dissenting, Ministers as pious and as fit to teach the thY.-
trioes of Christianity ,s any others.
Mr. HUGHES explained- He did not impugn their
fitness to teach the precepts of Chri*tianity, hut he ob-
ict,4l to their coming into the possession of an income

from burial grounds. -
Mr. GUEST did not know that any inttome would
arise from such a permis,ion as the petition Rouelit for.
