The Marquis of BREADALBANE presented peti-
tions from several places in Scotland against Papal
aggression, and for withdrawing the grant to Maynooth.
The petitions were upwards of sixty in number; they
also prayed for a measure to prevent violations of
liberty in convents, and also for the adoption of
measures to secure for Protestants the same tolera-
tion in Popish countries which Papists enjoyed here.
He thought there could be no mistake about the senti-
ments of the people of Scotland. They were deter-
mined to oppose sacerdotal domination, whosoever
might attempt to exercise it'.
The Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND presented
several r- tions from Northumberland against the re-
ilucti.,n of the rate of speed of Parliamentary trains on
railways.

sion Bill; also several other petitions to the same effect;
and a petition against making any alteration in the
bankruptcy law. Be begged to observe that the ex.
tension of the juriAliction of County ;Courts would not
make any alteration in the bankruptcy law.
COURT OF CHANCERY.

The NOBLE and LEARNED LORD then moved for a
return relating to the state of business in the Court
of Chanctry, and said that unless some speedy re-
form took place in that Curt it would be im-
pos
• hie that justice could be obtained. He moved for a
um of the number of cases entered before each of the

PAPERS.
The Marquis of LANSDO WNE laid certain papers
en the table of the House, by command of her Majesty.
OATH OF SUPREMACY.
The Earl of POWIS presented, according to notice,
a petition from the Earl of Bradford and the Earl of
Clancarty, praying for a modification in that part of the
oatn of suprew.:cy which declared that the Pope did
not exercise any authority in these realms. They were
true Protestants, but looking at the manner in which
the dignitariei of the Roman Catholic Church had been
recognized in this country and in the colonies, they could
not conscientiously take the oath, inasmuch as it was
contrary to fact, and they therefore could not take their
seats in Parliament. He moved that the petition be read
by the clerk at the table.
The petition was then read in ertenso.
The Earl of WICKLOW requested their Lordships'
serious attention to the petition, involving as it
did the question of the oaths which not only all
Members of their Lordships' House, but all Mem-
bers or the other House and all persons
accepting office were called upon to take. He
asked was it decent in the nineteenth century to call upon
persons to t,ke the oath of abjuration? It was abso-
lutely unnec -,-:pry. But with regard to the oath of
supremacy, it was no oath of supremacy at all—it was
absolutely a negative oath. The latter part of the oath
of supremacy was absolutely untrue. When they saw
the: the Catholic archbishops and bishops had
been leceived as such by the Queen on her visit
to Irelat.d, when they fout.cl that in an Act passed
the session be'bre last they had been recognised
as archbishops and bishops, how could it be contended
that the Pope exercised nu spiritual authority in this
country. The House of Commons had passed a
Bill repealing this oath by a large majority,
and is hid only been rejected by their Lord-
ships, because it emancipated the Jews. The Noble
and Learned Lord the Chief Justice had in his Life of
Lord Eldon, said that Lord Eldon was in favour of an
alteration in this oath, and the Noble and Learned Lord
had expressed a hope that some alteration would be
made in the wording of it. He hoped the Noble and
Learned Lord would draw up and introduce a Bill
which would give to these petitioners the relief which
they sought.
The snlect then dropped.
