IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT;

HOUSE OF LORDS, April 28.
MAYNOOTH.
The Bishop of EXETER presented several petitions
from Silverton and several other places against the grant
to Maynooth.
TREATMENT OF CRIMINALS—NEWGATE.
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE wished to bring
before their Lordships' notice a matter which, in his
opinion, involved a gross disgrace to the judicature of the
country. His authority was only that of a newspaper, and
he thought that it was not only calculated to excite an irre-
ligious impression, but to induce that which would be dis-
creditable to the law, and injurious to the administration
of justice throughout the whole community. He alluded to
a matter which had occurred at the gaol of Newgate
only yesterday. In referring to this case be telt
bound also to refer to a circumstance which had oc-
curred at the offices of public justice at the town of
Aylesbury only the other day, and in doing so he was
anxious that the authorities of the great city of
London would imitate so good an example. He
found by the newspapers that the public yesterday were
admitted to what was called the condemned sermon in
Newgate. The report stated that in consequence of the
arrangements of Mr. Cope, the governor, the public
were admitted by tickets, and that not the slightest con-
fusion had ensued. The public were admitted at a
quarter past ten, and at fifteen minutes after that time
the prisoner Rocker was admitted and conducted to his
seat. Shortly after that, Connor, who stood charged
with a similar offence, was conducted to a seat opposite
to that of Hockey. He was happy to find that the au-
thorities at Aylesbury had acted with a much more
judicious discretion, in abiding by the terms of their in-
structions. They had not been willing to pander to a
prurient curiosity; and he was grieved to observe that
the same discretion had not been exercised in the pre
sent instance. It appeared that Connor, who was com-
mitted for a similar offence to that for which Rocker was
about to suffer, was conducted to a seat opposite to that
occupied by the convict, and near to the pew of the
Ordinary, the

crimes with which these unfortunate individuals
were charged, but he must say that the implication con-
veyed in the observations of the Rev. Ordinary of New-
gate were calculated to be of great prejudice to the pri-
soner, who, by the law of England, at any rate, was
presumed to be inr.ocent. He had no objection to public
punishments. Such punishments might be necessary for
th© general welfare, but he did object greatly to those
exhibitions which the report of the newspaper said were
more like theatrical spectacles than solemn ceremonies of
the judicature. For these reasons he should, therefore,
feel it his duty to bring the matter formally before thy
House.

Lord BROUGHAM would beg to thank his Noble
Friend for having brought this matter before their Lord-
ships. lie thought there was notbieg more detestable

He quite agreed in the principle that the trig s , -be
as public as it was possible it could be. He quite agreed
that the sentence should be carried into effect, if it were
possible, before the eyes of the whole world ; but it
formed no part of the sentence—it constituted no part
of the punishment, that the dark cells of the prison
should be invaded, and the privacy of the prisoner should
be intruded upon during those solemn hours which
elapsed between his sentence and his execution. There
was no necessity for this violation of feelings ; it was
necessary neither for public justice nor private satisfac-
tion. It was requisite to no end, and was in no way
called for by the import of the sentence. And what
made it worse was, that where it was meant for a pu-
nishment it operated as a reward upon that class of cul-
prits to which this unhappy man appeared to have be-
longed ; inasmuch as it gratified the morbid thirst for
notoriety, which appeared to' have almost amounted to
madness, in the case cf the unhappy man who suffered
that morning. As a member of the Corporation of the
City of London, he would take the liberty of giving S
warning to that Corporation of the risk they run of en-
dangering their charter by allowing persons to be ad-
mitted to these condemned cells.
Lord STANLEY said there could be but one opinion
with regard to the extreme impropriety and indecor.cy of
the proceeding which the Noble Lord had alluded t,.
Oil the part of the Government there could be no objec-
tion to the motion of the Noble Marquis ; but he must
remind their Lordships that the Noble Marquis had made
his statement upon information which was not authentic.
He would, therefore, suggest the propriety of his post-
poning the motion until the Government had
had an opportunity of communicating with the City
authorities. Nothing could be more indecent than
this collection of persons to witness the appearance
of the convict during the deliverance of the condemned
sermor, and so far from its having been an act of reli-
gion, it appeared to have resulted in a matter of display.
Two years ago, his Right Hon. Friend, the Secretary
for the Hume Department, felt it to be his duty, on a si-
milar occasion to the present, to make a representation
to the authorities of the city of London. Upon that oc-
casion he understood his Right Hon. Friend received an
assurance that such scenes would be put an end to. If
the Noble Marquis would consent for the present to
withdraw his notice of motion, he would undertake that
his Right Hon. Friend the Secretary for the Home De-
partment should make a precise inquiry into the actual
facts ; and their Lordships might rely upon it that the
Government would exercise all the power it possessed
to put an end to such scenes.
The Duke of RICHMOND reminded the House that
the condemned prisoners were entrusted to the sheriffs
of the city, and they were the parties to blame if any
party was to blame in the matter. He would suggest
that an Act of Parliament should be brought in, pro-
hibiting the attendance at the chapel in Newgate of any
other persons but the prisoners and officers connected
with the gaol.
Lord DEN MAN said it was a question of the greatest
importance, and remarked that when a condemned pri-
sonerattended the chapel at Newgate, to receive the last
admonition to be given him in this world, the attendance
should be as private as possible, and particularly when
a person charged with the crime of murder, and who
had yet to undergo his trial, was amongst the congrega-
tion. He could not altogether justify the expressions of
the chaplain. They all knew what effect such expres-
sions had on the mind, and frequently it made the
party to whom they were addressed give vent to feelings
which might induce a stranger to infer guilt, although
the party might be perfectly innocent. Now, for in-
stance, a juryman might have been present when the
sermon was delivered, and might he not carry the im-
pressions which the scene and behaviour of the prisoner
had produced with him into Court ?—(Hear, hear.)
Lord CAMPBELL expressed his entire concurrence
with what had fallen from his Noble and Learned
Friend. But in his opinion such scenes as those were a
violation of the law ; and if the parties who exhibited
those criminals were indicted, they might be punished
for so doing. In the play of Hamlet the scene of a
murder was introduced, for the purpose of ascertaining
the guilt of the King, and it appeared to him that those
exhibitions were got up for a similar purpose.
Lord REDESDALE informed their Lordships that
what took place in the morning took place in the
evening. The Noble Lord adverted to an account-which
had appeared in an evening paper, in which it was stated
that the reporters were admitted to the unfortunate

prisoner, who was told of their presence in something
like the following terms:—" Here are the reporters
present, if you have anything to say to them." The
prisoner replied, " I do not feel collected enough to say
anything. If I had known they were coming, perhaps I
should have been enabled to say something." That was—
if he had been properly warned that these gentlemen had
intended to have paid him a visit, no doubt he would
have been prepared for another scene.—(Hear, hear.)
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE then consented to
withdraw his motion, and the subject dropped.
RAILWAYS AND THE BOARD OF TRADE.
The Marquis of CL AN RICARDE moved fora return,
showing the number of Irish railways the Board of Trade
had sanctioned, and showing whether the lines favour-
ably repored were the best that could be marked out, or
whether they were only the most favourable of those
that had been submitted to the Board of Trade. The
Noble Marquis took occasion to ask whether he was
correctly informed, that the Dublin and Cashel Railway
Company had violated an agreement which they had
entered into with the Irish Commissioners of Woods
and Forests, relative to the Curragh of Kildare ?
The Earl of DALHOUSIE consented to the return,
and said that he believed that such an agreement as that
stated did exist, and that the Company had, within the
last few days, undertaken not to disturb or enter upon
the Curragh of Kildare.

The motion was agreed to, several Bills were advanced
a stage, and their Lordships adjourned.

110 USE OF COMMONS, April 2B.
MAYNOOTH COLLEGE BILL.
' Mr. LAW (in continuation from our Third Edition) pro
ceeded to say—This measure was introduced by the Right
lion. Baronet at the head of her Majesty's Government to that
House, and introduced, too, under circumstances that could not
be approved by those who sent the supporters of it here, who
sat at this side of the House ; but this measure was supported
and carried through the first reading owing to the aid which
the Right lion. Baronet had received from those who were
usually his political opponents. In like manner was the Bill
presented to the House a second time, and a second time was
it suscessful through the aid of political opponents ; and it was
most important to observe that a great portion of those who
supported the Bill did so for the purpose of extinguishing the
opposition to the Bill. Then, with respect to the Bill
itself, the House was left in the dark as to how
many colleges there were to be established, or whe-
ther they were to be for academical education. The
Right Honourable Baronet bad, up to this moment,
maintained the most profound silence. He had not given
any information as to the nature or extent of his plans, and
would not do so until he had succeeded in procuring the ap.
probation of that House that the money was to be paid out of
the Consolidated Fund. The House knew not whether the
colleges were to be for religious education in separate col•
leges, or whether there were to be scholarships or fellowships.
In fact, they were asked to take a step that would be a leap in
the dark. History, in recording the transactions of that
House would have to record that the Right Hon. Baronet
threw himself for support on those who usually opposed
him.—( Hear.) And even if he gained a triumph, if
triumph it could be called, it was gained by
following and not by leading the Noble Lord opposite into one
of the lobbies of the House. One hundred and eighty Gen.
tlemen on the other side of the House voted for imposing this
tax on the people of England for the permanent endowment of
the Roman Catholic College of Maynooth, and if they once

of the money proposed to be given to Maynooth, but he ob-
jected to the principle of paying one sixpence from the taxes
of this country for the endowment cf that Collego.—(Hear,
hear.) He was influenced by no unkindly feelings towards his
Roman Catholic fellow -subjects, but in principle he
W 23 opposed to the endowment of the College of Maynooth.
When he said that he was influenced by no unkindly feeling
he trusted that he might fairly have credit for that declaration.
He respected, as much as any man, his fellow-subjects opposed
to him in religion—he had the most perfect and the most
unbounded respect for his Roman Catholic fellow-subjects,
for it was impossible for any liberal mind to feel otherwise
when it was remembered that for conscience' sake they had for
so long a period of time suffered deprivation of the highest
offices of the State. But he took a broad distinction be-
tween commiserating our Roman Catholic fellow-subjects,

and the principle of endowing the Catholic Church. It was to
retain that broad distinction that he ventured to trouble the
House with his observations on this occasion. Why did not

also to send Roman Catholic
clergymen educated in Ireland as

to other countries to propagate their doctrines

tiu
cation of the Catholic people in that country. He felt it to be
his duty to oppose this attempt to burden the Consolidated
Fund with their maintenance for the education of the Roman
Catholic clergy of the College of Maynooth. If the grant were
withdrawn altogether, he believed that the Roman Catholics
of Ireland would take the maintenance of the College into their
own hands, and would, by maintaining it, show the extent of
their zeal and of their charity. It might be said that this sub-
scription had been continued for so many years that it had
created expectations of its continuance in the minds of the
authorities of that College, which would be disappointed if the
fund from which they had for so many years derived assistance
were suddenly done away with. It would not become him to .
, suggest to the Right Hon. Baronet the mode in which he might
I meet this difficulty, but he (Mr. Law) thought that the Mi.
nister who had not scrupled to draw from the Consolidated
Fund—from the taxes paid by the people of Great Britain—a
permanent allowance for the endowment of the College of May..

between the Protestant Constitution and the
