Were absolutely doing nothing; and that many of its Protes-

.was not a new one, it was not the first
fate that it had been agitated. It was admitted by the grant
',l' Maynooth College in 1795, for the education of Roman
._,atholic Clergy, a grant, too, that was conceded by the
'ifories, and

leeted when it was proposed to meet all such expenditure
°ont of the Property of the Church.—( Cheers. ) Then, and

si,(l.of that resistance, in reply to a Noble Lord, who had

denied that that was to be the case.-
