COUNTY CORONERS' BILL.

On the Order of the Day for the second reading
of the County Coroners' Bill being read,
After a few words from Mr. Humz and Mr. PACK-
ING TON,
Mr. WILLIAMS protested against the principles
of this Bill. It was similar to the one which had
been brought forward last year, and so properly
altered in the other House. An attempt had been
made to raise the mileage from ninepence to eighteen-
pence, but it was eventually settled at one shilling
per mile. He thought the remuneration given
to coroners was too great, for he knew one county in
which thousands of pounds would be expended in the
contest for the coronership. In its present state he
should most decidedly vote against the second reading
of this Bill.
Mr. C. BERKELEY hoped the Hon. Gentleman
would not divide the House upon the second reading
of this Bill.—(Hear, hear.) He thought the present
discussion ought to be confined to the Committee.—
(Hear, hear.) There was but one clause in the Bill
which related to the increase of mileage to coroners,
and he (Mr. Berkeley) had given notice of his inten-
tion to move the omission of that clause.
Captain PECHELL thought it would be much
better to postpone the Bill to a future day.
Lord J. RUSSELL said that, considering the im-
portance of the adjourned debate, he thought the
better course to pursue would be to postpone this
Bill for the present. He could not see why the Hon.
Gentleman should object to that course.
Mr. PACKINGTON could assure the Noble
Lord that he had no wish to throw any impediment
in the way of the important debate to which the No-
ble Lord had alluded ; but he had expected when he
moved the second reading of this Bill, that there
would be no opposition to this stage of the Bill.
Mr. WAKLEY thought the Hon. Gentlemen who
had opposed this Bill had not read it.—(Hear, hear.)
But he supposed that they were privileged in that
respect. The present Bill was merely for the pur-
Eon of reducing the expense of electing coroners.
raveiybody knew that the present mode of electing
coroners was a disgrace to the kingdom. The poll,
when once opened, was obliged to be kept open for
ten days, and it would be illegal to close it before
that time.
The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered
to be committed on Wednesday, the 6th of March.
HORSE-RACING PENALTIES SUSPENSION

BILL.
Mr. HORSMAN asked the Hon. and Learned
Member for Bute if the Bill relating to the penalties
on horse-racing was of such a pressing nature as to
interpose before the Order of the Day for the ad-
journed debate. This was the second time it had
done so.

Mr. J. S. WORTLEY said the Bill was of a very
pressing nature as some of the actions were being
commenced at the assizes. He should, therefore,
move that the Speaker do leave the Chair.
After a few words from Mr. CHRISTIE,
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said that if the Hon. Gen-
tleman was to make the Bill at once what it ought
really to be—a private and personal Act to exempt
certain Noble Lords and Gentlemen from cer-
tain penalties to which they had subjected
themselves in consequence of their ignorance of the
law, he would find no difficulty in getting it passed.
His own opinion was, that they were fairly entitled
to this indemnity, and there were many instances
upon record where indemnity in similar cases was
granted.
Mr. HORSMAN said if the Bill were really press-
ing, then he was sure there were many members who
would support the Hon. and learned Member; if it
were not pressing, surely it was a fit subject for con-
sideration whether the delay now sought should not
be conceded.
Mr. CHRISTIE said, it might conduce to the
convenience of the House, if he stated that the decla-
rations in these actions were only delivered two or
three days ago, and that they would not come on for trial
at the Surrey Assizes ; therefore, there was no
necessity for thus pressing on the Bill. If the Hon.
and Learned Gentleman would postpone the Bill for
this evening, every facility would be given to him
hereafter.
Mr.WORTLEY said he was sorry he could not ac-
cede to the wish of the Hon. Gentleman. Proceedings
were at present going on in these actions as rapidly as
poisible for the purpose of accumulating costs, and
he knew that two of them were ready for
trial one at the coming Surrey, the other at the
York assizes. Under these circumstances, and
recollecting the difficulty there might be in
hereafter bringing this matter before the House, with
the mass of other subjects coming before it, he did
trust that no further delay would be insisted on.
Mr. CHRISTIE must say then, as no delay would
be conceded, that he should proceed to move the in-
struction of which he had given netice.—(Cries of
"Spoke, spoke," " Chair, chair.")
The SPEAKER declared that the Hon. Gentle-
man, having previously addressed the House on this
subject, had forfeited his eight to move his in-
structiOn.—(Hear, and a laugh.)
Mr. HUME said the Bill now before the House
had been altered according to the propositions made,
the other night, froth his side of the House. It was
now, in fact, a Bill simply to stay proceedings. The
promoters of the Bill having fairly met them, and
carried their wishes into effect, he for one could be
no party to the present opposition.—(Cheers.)
Mr. BRIGHT said, as his Hon. Friend (Mr.
Christie) was debarred moving his instruction, he
should take upon himself to do so. He begged to
move that it be an instruction to the Committee to
extend the provisions of the Bill to all proceedings of
common informers under the authority of any penal
statute.
Mr. CHRISTIE would' second the instruction he
could not propose. And he did so because he thought
the measure as now before the House was to throw
a protection round a few individuals, which, if
desirable at all, ought to be extended to every class.
He could not, nor would not, recognise any distinc-
tion between small bets made by persons in an
humble station of life, and larger ones by the aris-
tocracy and richer classes, neither could he distinguish
the difference between horse-racing and any other
species of gaming. lie was so convinced in his opi-
nions upon this subject, that he should offer the
strongest opposition to this bill. The most eminent
judges of the land had decided, that under the penal
statue of Queen Anne the sport of horse•racing was
included, and Baron Rolfe had pronounced a similar
decision in the Court of Exchequer no later than the
term before last. It had been stated by the Hon.
and Learned Gentleman who introduced this Bill that,
the Noble Lord the Member for Lynn (Lord
George Bentinck) was one of the parties intended
to be relieved by the Bill. In making that
statement, he said that the Noble Lord was
entirely ignorant of the law against which he
had offended: No such statement however had
been made by the Noble Lord himself. If the No-
ble Lord were to say so, of course it was needless for
him (Mr. Christie) to say that he should place im-
plicit confidence in the statement; but he must say
that, under the circumstances, that which had been
stated by the Hon. and Learned Gentleman (Mr. Wort-
ley) ought to be confirmed by the Noble Lord himself.
He asked the House to alter the Bill so that the peo-
ple whom it was desired to benefit should be relieved
by the just application of a general Bill ; and his
great object in supporting the instruction was in
the hope of superseding all other such proceedings
as might be instituted by common informers.
Such informations for penalties ought, in his
opinion, never to be allowed, except originated by
the clerk of the peace or some other public officer.
He wanted a broad, general, just, and impartial ap-
plication of a wholesome principle, and that legisla-
tion in that House should not be for individuals but
for the whole people.
Mr. C. BERKELEY would yield to no man in
his desire to extend every protection to the sports of
the poor, as well as the rich.—(Hear, hear.) The
Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Christie) said the
other evening, that if they passed this Bill,
then they would be legislating for a class
only. He had offered to support the instruction of
the Hon. Gentleman, provided he would consent to
engraft on it a pledge to extend the provisions of the Bill
to all statutes which relate to the sports of the people.
He now, therefore, gave the Hon and Learned Gentle-
man (Mr. Wortley) notice that, on bringing up of
the report of the Bill, he should move a clause to that
effect.

Mr. HUTT said, that within the last few years,
no less than five or six bills of a similar character and
principle to the one now before the House had been
brought in and passed without a dissentient voice from
Hon. Members on either side. If the Hon. Member
for Manchester and others had not opposed (as he
had not) these measures at the time of their passing,
it was rather remarkale they should now set their
faces so strongly against an ex post facto law which
was quite as just and necessary as any of those
entertained by the House on former occasions.
He regretted exceedingly that he was compelled to
dissent from those for whom he felt personally
so much respect ; but still he thought some of his
Ii on. Friends were influenced more by prejudice than
cool judgment.
After a few words from Mr. MANWAIRING and
Captain Colonel VYacIIHAME,
LL rose amid much confusion
and loud cries of " Divide, divide," and said, as well
as w e could catch his words, that he was sure there
were many Hon. Gentlemen near him who would
wish to hear the Hon. and Learned Gentleman op
'Ate and the Noble Lord wro had brought in the
Bill express their opinion on the matter before the
House would proceed to a division.

Mr. WAKLEY entirely disagreed from the Hon.
and Learned Member for Gateshead, who had com-
pletely mistaken the nature of the present Bill. Its
object was to frustrate the designs of certain parties,
who were sueing others for the very acts which they
themselves had committed.
(LEFT SPEAKING.)

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)

FRASER v. BAGLEY.-CRIM. CON.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.)
After the examination of several other witnesses, the
Court adjourned till to-Morrow, when Mr. Thesiger will reply
on behalf of the plaintiff. It was near seven o'clock when
the Court adjourned.

.
languid and suffering, remained in a corner alone, and could
not be persuaded to mix with the others. Whether
this was ill-temper or illness I could not discover. She
was the last purchase, and, therefore, the favourite. She
had been lately confined, and nursed her child, but refused
to show it. Two others were enceinte, and, between the
standing and the fasting, were pale as death, and almost
fainted. Nothing can be harder than the situation of
these unfortunate women, never permitted to stir out; for
I discovered they had only been allowed to breathe the
open air twice in the year. The Seraskier told me he once
took them to the Sweet Waters of Asia, and was amused
at my expressive look of horror at such confinement. I
could not help pitying their fate, all living together, quar-
relling and jangling for the Pacha's favour, " a qui it jeterait
le mouchoir." I did not count the children, but I think
there were not less than twelve. One beautiful little girl,
with large, bright blue eyes, like her fair mother, whose robe
she held fast, was dressed in a pink and green vest, with a
jacket lined with sable. With this exception they had all
dark eyes and eyebrows; most of them had bad teeth, and
nothing is more disgusting than their bare feet, the nails
being, like their fingers, deeply dyed with henna.—Marchio-
ness of Londonderry's Narrative.

STREET^CLEANSING ENGINE.—An engine for
sweeping the streets has been tried for some days in Cheap-
side and Fleet-street, and the result appears to be quite satis-
factory. An extract from the prospectus, published by the
patentee, will explain its properties and its merits; and, as
far as this goes, those who saw its performance yesterday
Must admit the truth of what is asserted :—" The engine is
simply and effectively constructed ; is enclosed in a case open
only at the bottom part of it, to enable the brushes to come
in contact with the street or road, se that neither dust nor dirt
can escape from it. The mud or dirt is discharged into a
receiving truck travelling in front of the engine ; the truck
when filled is easily detached and drawn away to the laystall
proceeds on its work without the delay of
or shute ; another empty truck is instantly attached to the
lin the street with the receiver when it requires
to be it fro
nn
p'vtiil ecircil: thus the engine remains constantly at its work.
This is a distinguished and most important feature of this
engine."
Letters from St. Petersburgh, of the 30th ult.,
announce the promulgation of an ukase, declaring that the
Roman Catholic clergy, of the western provinces of the em-
pire, should be paid in future by the State. They are also
to be divided into five classes : the pastors included in the
first are to receive £lOO per annum, and those of the last:.£37.
""' HYDROPATILY IN FRANCE.--Upon an application
being made to the French Government for permission to open
an hydropathic establishment in Paris, the Government
referred the subject to the French Academy for their opi-
nion. The 'following are the conclusions to which the
Academy arrived after mature consideration-1. That hydro-
pithy is a dangerous therapeutical method which does not
rest on facts ; 2, that its theory is chimerical; 3, that it is in
disaccord "with our chemical and pathological doctrines ; 4,
that the Academy cannot in any way approve of it ; 5, that
the use of cold water has been long in the domain of medicine
submitted to rules.

EXTRAORDINARY OCCURRENCE.—It will be recol-
lected that a soldier of the name of Fosey, belonging to the
depot of the 48th Regiment, now in garrison in this island,
was, on. the 20th of January, tried and convicted before the
Royal Court, for having committed a violent assault on the
highway, on the evening of the Ist of that month, and was
thereupon sentenced to an imprisonment of two months.
It appears that his Excellency, the Lieutenant-Governor,
disapproving of this sentence, represented the matter to the
Secretary of State for the Home Department, and in conse-
quence of
.such representation a free pardon was obtained
from the Queen. The pardon, under her Majesty's sign
manual, addressed to the Lieutenant-Governor, and the
keeper of the gaol, was, it is understood, received in Guernsey
this morning, and in consequence his Excellency, in full
uniform, accompanied by Major M'Cleverty, commanding
the 48th depot, Major Bainbrigge, Fort Major, and Mr. W.
Brown, the Government Secretary, presented himself at the
gaol, at noon (at a moment, be it observed, when it was well
known that all the civil authorities were attending the
funeral of a deceased magistrate), with the Queen's pardon
in his hand, and demanded the immediate liberation of
Fossey. Mr. Barbet, the gaoler, unaccustomed to documents
of this nature, said that he could not liberate the man with-
out the order of the Court by whom jie had been com-
mitted. The General hereupon told Mr. Barbet at his
peril to refuse instant obedience, and desired him
to give him the keys of the prison, telling Mr.
Barbet that he ought to know that the Queen's order was
paramount to any local authority. Mr. Barbet, however,
still hesitated, and sent out to find some of the officers of
the court for their advice ; upon which his Excellency
ordered Major Bainbrigge to go to Fort George and bring
down the troops to force the gaol ? Major Bainbrigge im-
mediately departed upon his mission, when Mr. Barbet,
considering that he was not required to make any further
difficulties in the face of the threatened exercise of force,
delivered Fossey to the Lieutenant-Governor, who handed
him over to Major M'Cleverty-, his commanding officer, and
the whole party then left the gaol, and the advance of the
troops was countermanded. Fossey, before quitting, ad-
mitted in the hearing of several persons, that he was guilty
of the crime for which he had been tried and imprisoned.—.

attempted to alienate her Majesty's army from her.
If the Government had not interfered, the loyal inhabi-
tants of Ireland would have armed themselves in self-
defence, and opposed force to force. One side of the
House attempted to monopolise all feeling and sympathy
for Ireland, as if Hon. Me nbers on this (the Ministerial)
side of the House were utterly callous to the
grievances and wishes of Ireland, but he could tell Hon.
Gentlemen opposite, that there was an earnest desire
among Members of the Conservative party to redress
the real grievances of that country, and to improve her
condition. It was said that the Honourable Gentleman
the Member for Cork exercised an all-powerful influence
over the people of Ireland ; and the same was said of the
Roman Catholic priesthood if so, they were criminable
for all those disgraceful Offences were the result of
agitation and excitement. But the fact was, neither the
Honourable Gentleman nor the Catholic priesthood
were able to control the feelings of the people.
The priests had, in the first instance, raised their voices
against Father Mathew, but the principles of tempe-
rance triumphed, despite the influence of the priesthood.
Ireland should not be considered as one uniform coun-
try, to which the same remedies were applicable,
He came from Ulster, and there was not a more peace-
ful, quiet province in Ireland. They had few soldiers
there. Property was safe ; there were no out-
rages. And yet they had no peculiar advan-
tages. They had a third Church to support there,
and the majority of the inhabitants of the province were
Roman Catholics ; but the inhabitants of that province
were, generally speaking, what was denominated
" bloody" Tories, and all those who had influence
did everything in their power to improve the condition of
the people, to educate them, and instead of endeavour-
ing to set man against man, they endeavoured to unite
all classes of society in harmony.—(Cheers.) Let
them compare the state of Ulster with that of
Tipperary. The state of Tipperary made every Irish-
man blush. Had not the' societies established from
time to time by the Liberals been changed almost every
year on account of their trenching upon the law of the
land? They had had societies for every object and of
every character, but there had not been one of them
that had been of a strictly legal character. Was it then
to be wondered at that the unfortunate people of Ireland
had to a great, extent forgotten obedience to the law?
They talked of British capital being driven away. Of
course it was driven away. Capitalists would not go
where life was in danger even in broad daylight.
Capital never would go there till life was safe, and life
would not be safe so long as agitation was permitted.
When English Members complained of the suppression
of meetings in Ireland, they must remember what were
the means used to bring about those assemblages—the
natural excitability of the Irish people, and the
circumstance of their being attracted by the
transcendent eloquence of teir leader.—(Hear.)
At some of the meetings in Ireland there were fifteen
bands of music and numerous banners, things which
never were to be seen at a meeting in England. There
was no similarity between political agitation in England
and in Ireland, and as little similarity between-the feel-
ings mid passions of the two people. Had not the
Honourable and Learned Member for Cork called
the proclamation of her Majesty a forgery,
and stated that it never had emanated from her ? Of all
the silly accusations which had been brought against
the Government by Hon. Gentlemen opposite, none was
more foolish than that the proclamation was delayed
for the purpose of bringing the people into collision
with the military. He felt no doubt that the object of
the Noble Lord's motion was to attach the stigma of a
want ofconfidence by the House in her Majesty's Ministers.
Judging from appearances—from the manner in which
the Hon. and Learned Gentleman had been received by
Hon. Gentlemen opposite, and from the fact of his hav-
ing sent over two counsel to advise with the Noble Lord
--he should be inclined to believe that the Lichfield
House compact had been renewed. He deprecated the
attacks which had been made upon the present Govern-
ment of Ireland, and considered that the animadversions
of the Right Hon. Gentleman, last evening, on the com-
position of the jury, on' the verdict, and on the charge of
the judge, were calculated to produce anarchy in Ire-
land. He was glad to hear that a larger sum was to be
devoted to the purposes of national education ; but he
trusted that the present system would be modified in
such a manner as to secure to those who were educated
under it a free access to the Scriptures. He should be
glad to see- some measure passed to legalise the pay-
ment of dues to the Catholic priests, and to fix their
amount ; and should the dues not be sufficient for the
priest's maintenance, he should not object to a State
alloWance. He thought it was a great mistake to grant
only 8,0001. ti year to Maynooth; the grant should be in-
*creased so as to hold out an inducement to liersons of the
superior classes to study for the priesthood. He should
also wish to see the Roman Catholic College removed
front Maynooth to some part of England, in which the
Catholic gentry and yeomanry of the neighbourhood
would be inclined to treat the students with that courtesy
which they did not meet with at present.
The O'CONOR DON protested against Hon. Gen-
tlemen on the other side claiming for themselves a mo-
nopoly of loyalty.—(Hear, hear.) Whatever might be
the result of this debate, the declaration of the Noble
Lord with regard to the kind feelings of her Majesty to-
wards her Irish subjects would be gratefully remembered
in that country—(Loud cheers)--mid justly appreciated.
—(Cheers.) There was not a more loyal body in exist-
ence than the Roman Catholic population of Ireland—
(Cheers)—and this was no conditional loyalty—it did
not depend on considerations of time or circumstance—
upon Whig or Tory being in power. It was sincere and
genuine attachment to the Sovereign.—(Loud cheers.)
He objected to the system which had been pursued to-
wards Ireland by the present Government. It was true
that many circumstances, of which complaints had been
made, had been explained during the course of the de-
bate, but those circumstances had created an impression
which no after-explanation could eradicate, and it was
the duty of the Government so to act as not to place
itself under the necessity for explanation. He did not
think the explanations which had been offered to
account for the delay in the issuing the proclamation
prohibiting the meeting at Clontarf were satisfactory.
No attempt had been made to interfere with the
Donnybrook_ineeting, which had been held under pre-
cisely similar circumstances. The people had behaved
most peaceably; and when it had been hinted that the going
to Clontarf in a certain direction might hurt the feelings
of the Protestants, who would meet them on the road to
church, they had stated their determination to avoid
going to the meeting by that road. There had been
no breach of the peace at the other meetings, and there
was no pretence for saying that there was any reason to
apprehend a breach of the peace at Clontarf. They had
had no intimation that the meetings were illegal. The
Duke of Wellington had stated, in the House of Lords,
that he did not know whether these meetings were legal,
and the late Lord Chancellor of England, one of the
greatest lawyers of the day, had, in the same debate,
stated that although the meetings were large, yet if the
parties sought for constitutional objects only by legal
and peaceful means, there was no ground for considering
them illegal.—(Hear, hear.) Now considering that the
Lord Chancellor of Ireland had told the people of
Ireland that they were to read the debates in Parlia-
ment, and be
.guided by them in their conduct, he
thought that opinion was a sufficient justification of their
conduct. It was cruel of the Government, if they thought
- those meetings illegal, not to have stated so at once, in-
stead of entrapping men of peaceful habits into this vortex
of agitation.—(Cheers.) He did not think the explanation
with respect to the omission of names from the jury
panel at all satisfactory. He acquitted the Right Hon.
Gentleman opposite (Mr. Shaw) of all knowledge of
the omission. He knew it would be foreign to his na-
ture to do anything so unfair, but he could not but re-
collect that Mr. Justice Perrin had said that the omis-
sion was not free from suspicion.
Mr. SHAW--The facts had not then been stated.
The O'CONOR DON believed that the case had
been fully argued by counsel before Judge Perrin had
stated, in giving judgment, that there had been gross
, neglect somewhere, and that the case was not free from
suspicion. With respect to the striking off the names
of the Roman Catholics, which had been justified by the
Hon. and Gallant Member for Armagh, he would ask
that Hon. Member whether, if, in 1829, the Govern-
ment had thought proper to institute a prosecution
against persons connected with the Orange Associa-
tions, who met in large numbers to petition for the re-
peal of the Emancipation Act, he would have thought
it fair in the Government to strike the name of every
Protestant from the jury, and to try them by a
jury composed exclusively of Roman Catholics ?—whe-
ther he would have thought it right for the Solicitor-
General to state that he did not believe the Protestants
were worthy to be believed on their oaths, and that
therefore they must be struck off the panel? The Right
Hon. Gentleman said peace had been established by the
verdict. If he meant by that there had been no breach
of the law, it should he recollected that there was no
breach of the law before the prosecutions commenced.—
(Cheers.) But the national mind had never been more
disturbed than it was at the present moment ; and he
much feared that serious consequences might arise from
the people being deprived of the opportunity of express-
pig their opinions.—(Hear hear.) Government might
prevent an outbreak, but it could not enforce upon
the people the performance of those social duties,
the omission of which would produce immense evil.
He firmly believed that no man abhorred the commis-
sion of crime more than Mr. O'Connell. He, in com-
mon with other Roman Catholics, felt a deep debt
of gratitude to him, for to him were they mainly in-
debted for giving them a share in the Constitution.—
(friar, hear.) He thought they should feel indebted to
the Hon. and Learned Gentleman for the discussion on
the present motion. It was not very long ago that the
Noble Lord, the Member for London, spoke of finality;
it was only a few months ago that the Right Honourable
Gentleman opposite said there was an end of concession;
but yet, on the present occasion, they were rivalling one
another in professions of anxiety to serve Ireland.—
(Hear, hear.) He agreed with the Noble Lord in think-
' ing that one of the first objects which it was imperative
on the Government to effect was, to render the admi-
nistration of justice pure in Ireland. Confidence in the
laws should be restored ; respect for the laws could only
exist in sympathetic confidence between the governors
and the governed. Within three months after the ar-
rival of Lord De Grey in Ireland, the number of memo-
rials from the three Roman Catholic provinces to the Exe-
cutive had diminished by half, whilst that of Protestant
Ulster was increased three-fourths.--(Hear, hear.) He
objected to the appointment of new stipendiary magis-
trates at present, but he objected to it because he knew
that men would be appointed in whom the people
had no confidence. Last night, the Solicitor-Ge-
neral challenged the Opposition to show a single
instance in which a Catholic had not been appointed to
a Government situation when he was equally eligible as
a Protestant. He would instance one. In the county
which he (the O'Conor Don) represented, a situation
in the gift of the Crown had become vacant by the death
of a Mr. Cummins. Himself and his colleague had ex-
erted tkemselves very much to procure the iittlatioll for

interfered in politics, and who was most successie, ty

county, and his talents were admitted, but tbe sit

had been given to a gentleman from a distant c.
and who was not a Roman Catholic.—(Hear; lithe',
There was an instance, and he could mention an° of

but that he did not like to travel out of his own .ee
He thought the educational system ought to bee,
tended, but before it could be productive of much„e (114
fit, the people must be fed. Education and fain s
not travel together. Agricultural societies vv°ll
much to improve the condition of the country. „
of this nature had been established in Ballinasloe
Marquis of Clanricarde, which had been produeldos
very great benefit. He thought that pi'
ments should be legalised, whether made by C 9
or Protestants. Allusion had been made to the TA°o_,„is
and Tenant Commission. He hoped that the C
sion would shortly conclude its labours, as heed s"
very exaggerated opinions would be entertainee
garding the results it would effect. Now, with rs 134

not in reality diminish it, and thus add to the
anees of the country. - Provision should be 111°"°,.

them to qualify had been spent in the erection
and administering to the temporal wants of 1000
rishioners. Now, regarding the oath taken bY„ soil
Catholics, the Noble Lord who had alluded t 0
Stanley) had done so in a very ungenerous and 0/0
manner. When that Noble Lord was on this si Cadets

Members, much in the same strain that the NohS,lloo
had done, the Noble Lord reproved the s Rump
officer; but it appeared that the consciences Of
,:basr

meter of the Noble Lord's political feelings. Vibsd le`
