On a second clause, moved by the same Hon. Member,
enacting that the Bill should not invalidate, as evidence,
any letter of ordination or other ecclesiastical document
at present receivable in courts of justice or equity, a di-
vision was taken, when their appeared—
For the clause... ... 45
Against it ... 220
Majority •• •-• ••• 175
Mr. KEOGH then moved another clause, providing
" That no proceeding should be taken under the Act,
•
save and except by her MAJESTY'S Attorney-General for
the time being in England and Ireland, or by the Lord-
Advocate in Scotland." The Hon. and Learned Gen-
tleman, in the course of the discussion, declared that be
had received assurances from 'air. HAYTER that Govern-
ment would support his clause, and now they turned
round and opposed him.
Lord J. RUSSELL and Sir G. GREY denied that they
had authorised Mr. HAYTER to give any pledge to bind
the Government, and
Mr. HAYTER denied that he had given any such
pledge. He had merely stated to the Hon. Gentleman
his own private opinion in the course of conversation
while the last division was taking place.
The clause was rejected by 232 to 71.
Mr. REYNOLDS then moved a clause exempting Roman
'Catholic clergymen from the operation of the Bill as far
as regarded rites and ceremonies performed in cemete-
ries in Dublin, guaranteed in Acts of Parliament on the
subject.
After a few words from Sir R. H. Nous, the Com-
mittee divided, when their numbers were—For the clause
32; against it, 150; majority against, 118.
When this
thdievillmewir a over,body the Roman Catholic
Members left
Sir F. MESMER then proceeded to propose amend-
ments which went to include all briefs received from
Rome in any part of the United Kingdom, and to make
it penal to obtain or cau.e to be prccured, or publish or
put in use any bull, brief, rescript, or letters !patina!, or
any other instrument or writing for the purpose of con-
stituting archbishops or bishops of such pretended pro-
vieces, sees, or dioceses, within the United Kingdom.
In clause 2 he also proposed to add the words—" or by
action of debt, at the suit of any person in one of her
Majesty's superior courts of law, with the consent of
her Majesty's Attorney-General in England and Ire-
land, or her Majesty's Advocate in Scotland."
Lord JOHN RUSSELL opposed the amendments. He
thought the test amendment would weaken the effect o
the Bill, and with regard to the second, he thought it was
highly objectionable to give private individuals the
power to sus tor penalties. If the amendments were car-
ried, it would be through the ostentatious abstinence of
the Irish Members, but that result would not prevent his
proceeding with the measure, and the change it woulo
accompliqr was not unaccordent with the principle of
the Bill as proposed by the Government.
The umeLdment was supported by Mr. NAPIER, and
opposed by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, and on a division
it was carried by a'majority of 35, the numbers being—
For the amendment ... ... 135
Against it ... . . ... 100
Majority ... ... —35
The announcement of this majority was vociferously
cheered by the Opposition.
Two following amendments, included in the first, were
affirmed without division.
The fourth amendment, on clause 2, by which all per-
sons who should procure from Rome or publish in the
United Kingdom any bull or rescript for the purpose of
constituting archbishops or bishops under the inhibited
titles, was then moved.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL dissected the terms and
effect of the amendment, declaring that they afforded only
a delusive strength to the Bill.
A second division was then called, and this amendment
carriel by 165 to 109—majority 56.
Lord J. RUSSELL postponed until the third reading his
opposition to the next amendment, by which private in-
dividuals were allowed to lay informations for offences
created under the Bill.
Sir J. GRAHAM suggested that •as the Bill had now
received so many alterations of importance, it would
be advisable to have it printed in its new form, and
time allowed for a deliberate consideration by Hon.
Members.
This suggestion was adopted, and Friday next ap-
pointed for the third reading.
The third reading of the Oath of Abjuration (Jew)
Bill was postponed to Thursday.
The adjourned debate on the Address to the Crown
on the subject of the reform in Chancery was then re-
sumed. Various arguments, chiefly relating to the tech-
nical form and practice of the Equity Courts, were of-
fered by the SOLICITOR-GENERAL, the MASTER of the
ROLLS, Mr. CHRISTOPHER, Mr. BETHELL, Mr. HENLEY,
and Mr. EvaNs.
Sir JAMES GRAHAM and Lord JOHN RUSSELL each
insisted on the necessity of the immediate adoption of
some measure of Chancery reform, and. the motion was
agreed to.
The House adjourned at One o'clock.

The greater portion of another evening has been
devoted to the Ecclesiastinal Titles Assumption Bill,
end at last it has passed through Committee, the nu-
merous amendments, or quasi amendments, being
finally disposed of. On Friday next the third read-
ing will be taken, and then so far as the House of
Commons is concerned, the monster nuisance of the
present session will be got rid of. We do not sup-
pose that any material alteration will be introduced in
the House of Lords, or that the hereditary legislators
will resort to any unnecessary procrastination with
respect to the measure, so that before the termination
of July the Bill of the year will have received the
Royal assent, there will be nothing to delay the pro-
rogation, and the do-nothing session will be brought
to a conclusion.
In future times it will, probably, excite no or-
dinary degree of astonishment when it is gravely
announced that so much valuable time was wasted—
so many angry feelings excited about a matter of
apparently such trivial importance. There are many
pressing reforms, the necessity for which has been
universally recognized—many matters of great con-
sequence that could have been finally and satisfac-
torily arranged in a tenth part of the time that was
devoted to the consideration of the present Bill. And
what have we got in return ? Will its most ardent sup-
porter venture to assert in another year that this piece
of trumpery legislation was worth the trouble it occa-
sioned, or will its moat strenuous opponent not be
prepared to admit that too much weight and im-
portance was attached to it by the Roman Catholic
Members, when it is clearly ascertained, as it will be
by that time, that it is a mere brutum fulmen, intended
to remain a dead letter on the national statute-book ?
There have been faults on both sides, the parties
chiefly in fault being the Members 'of " the Brigade,"
who adopted a system of tactics which it was impos-
sible to sanction, and which elevated the matter to a
degree of importance that might otherwise never
have been assigned to it. In truth, as we have long
since declared, the enactment is only valuable so far
as it may be taken as the protest of the . highest au-
thority in the nation—tha Parliament of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland—against the
unwarranted usurpation of temporal power by a
foreign ecclesiastic, and the gross invasion of the
national independence and the Royal prerogative by
the PONTIFF, and it may well be questioned, whether
an address to the SOVEREIGN from both Houses of
Parliament, with a suitable reply, would
not have been to all intents and purposes.
as efficacious. As we have already stated, however,
tconduct of the Irish Members rendered it essen-
tial that the Government should persevere. They
could not, in
the face of such an opposition, retreat
or discontinue their exertions. It would have re-
flected indelible disgrace on every member of the
Cabinet if they had
done so under the peculiar cir-
cumstances of the ease.

We are at all times, and on all points, strongly op-
posed to the machinery of the law being set in motion
by private individuals. It is an unwise and impolitic
course, that should never be sanctioned under any
circumstances, more especially in cases where the
private prosecutor could only be actuated by bigoted,
vindictive, or sordid motives. We confess that we
cannot perceive any great distinction between suing
by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL or with the assent of the
ATTORNEY- GRNERAL. All must admit that the former
