IRISH CHURCH.
Mr. BARRON moved that there be laid before the House
a copy of the oath taken by the Protestant Clergy in Ireland
on being inducted to their livings.
Sir G. CLERK objected to the Return on the ground of
expense. The Hon. Member ought to state some reason to
the House to induce them to agree to his Return, and he ought
at least to have given notice of his motion.
Mr. BARRON believed that the Protestant clergy took an
oath on being inducted to their livings, to maintain a school
in the living to which they were inducted, and he believed
that that oath had not been kept.

Hon. Member had given notice of this motion ?

tice now that he would move for this Return to-morrow.

Mr. WILBRA iiiNiLegedt; ask the- Right Hon. the
President of the Board of Control. whether it was the inten-
tion of his Majesty's Government to take any steps to put an
end to the monopoly enjoyed by the East India Company in
the manufacture of Salt ?
Sir J. C. HOBHOUSE said his attention had been di-
rected to the subject since he came into office. The Hon.
Member was not perhaps aware that the income of the Com-
pany on the manufacture of salt amounted to 1,600,0001.
per annum—( Hear). He was not aware that the Government
intended to make any alteration in the law relating to this
subject. The despatches sent out to the Indian Government
on the 15th of April last, left the monopoly in the same con-
dition as it had previously stood. He begged to assure the
Hon. Member that the subject should have his best attention,
and that he would endeavour to make such an arrangement as
would be satisfactory.
