Lord KING presented a petition flow the CN-
tholics of Ireland, signed . very numerously, in
favour of the Protestant Dissenters in England, not for the
Protestant Dissenters of Ireland, for they had nothing to ask ,
they were upon an equality with the members of the -Esta-
blished 'Church, and therefore the Irish Catholics, when
They spoke in 'favour of -.rake trout experience
They desired that the Protestant Dissenters in England
might be placedoo 'an egality with their Protestant breth-
ren in this country. ' The. Noble Lord Could not refrain
from reading one passage in the speech ; it was to this el--
fect :—" The principle on which the Protestant Church is
founded, is thealkged right and duty of the private interpre-
tations of the Scriptures, and although the -Catholics do
not participate in the view the House takes on that subject,
they must think it absurd in one set of Protestants asserting
their right of persecuting another, for the exercising their
judgment." This, by the bye, said the ..Noble
Lord, is rather a hard blow to the Established Church.
(A laugh.)-z-The Dissenters in Ireland had been relieved
fifty years ago from all disabilities, and yet the Pro-
testant Church in that country was in as much oecurliy as
if they were still pressad by penal enactments. Dean "Swit
had described two parties who had been animated by :arc
implacable hatred against each other on account .of their
manner of breaking eggs ; at that time, it seemed, enmity.
was mole implacable than at present ; but those who brake
their eggs at the big end were implacable enemies of those
who broke their eggs at the little end. Now this was a
petition from the Big-Endiatis to :the Little-Endiaris, pray-
ing that those who broke their eggs in the middle might isz-.
allowed to enjoy some of the good things of life. 'He hoped
the prayer of the petition would be granted, and that their
practice would no longer be considered as idOlatrOus and
superstitious—as he believed the practice of breaking the
egg at the big end had been called—and that thev should
not be classed with those towards whom go faith should be
he kept : for following a damnable heresy. He had
asked how these Acts were originated, and how they
were established? There existed a rogue and his
brother, against, whom it was necessary to take gua-
rantees. Guaiantees were' in fashion then, though
now they were exchanged- fur fair undeistandings. But
after the rogue bad been sent away, these guarantees
were brought forward, though be thought it would have
been better if only something like a fair understanding hid
been come to amongst those who followed 'the King's
brother, instead of adopting measures of the Mischievous
character 'Of the Test and Corporation Acts. The Noble
Lord concluded by presenting a petition from the Catholics
of Ireland, praying for the repeal of the Test and Corpora •
t ion Acts in England.
