common law was not always attended with ad-
vantage. The Roman Catholics in Ireland, though
.enstituting a large majority of the inhabitants
01 that country, were in a worse po ition in
expect to the marriage laws than the Jews, who
were infinitesimally steelier, or the Quakers, who
were rapidly diminishing. He thought that in this
respect the Roman Catholics should have the same privi-
leges conferred on them as were enjoyed by the Church of
Scotland ; but at the same time, if they had any reason-
able demands, he considered they should be heard with
deference.
Mr. SCULLY, who had the following amendment on the
paper :—" That an humble address be presented to her
Nlajesty, praying that she would be graciously pleased to
issue Royal Commission,tto inquire into the marriage laws
of England, of Ireland, and of Scotland, respectively," said
that he did not intend his amendment in a hostile but a
friendly spirit towards the motion of the honourable
and learned gentleman (Sir H. Cairns). He thought
it would be impossible to legislate on the subject this
session, and he thought, under the circumstances,
it would not be advisable to go into the whole question.
If the marriage law of Ireland could be legislated
on immediately, he would offer no objection ; but consi-
dering the number of Irish committees satin.; at
the present time, any addition to the munber of
these committees would lead to no practicable results. If
the Secretory for Ireland gave him an assurance that he
would agree to an attempt to legislate on the subject this
session he would afford him any assistance and whhdraw
his amendment.
