IMPERIA L PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, May 26.
The Loan CHANCELLOR took his seat upon the Woolsack
at Five o'clock.
Lord REDESDALE presented several petitions against the
Mavnooth grant.
Petitions against the grant were also presented by the Earl
of Bandon, Lord Kenyon, the Bishop of London, the Bishop of
Lichfield and Coventry, the Bishop of Gloucester, and the
Bishop of Winchester.
Lord CAMPBELL presented a petition against the Cha-
ritable Trusts Bill.
REGISTRATION OF DEEDS BILL.

The Noar.e: Loan then laid on the table a Bill for the regis-
tration of all deeds and instruments respecting real property in
England and Wales. This Bill was founded on the report of the
Real Property Commissioners, and was framed upon
the plan which had been proposed by Mr. Duval, one of the
ablest real propei ty lawyers that had ever adorned the profession.
—(" Hear, hear," front Lord Brougham.) That plan had been
approved of by the Real Property Commission, over which
he (Lord Campbell), had had the honour of presiding. It
had been considered for two sessions by the House of Commons,
and had been favourably received in that House. The subject
had not been mooted fur twelve years, and he hoped that the
prejudices which had been entertained agaiest it had died away.
The Biil was then laid on the table.
RAILWAY COIIPENSATION COMMITTEE.
The Earl of FITZWILLIAM moved that the evidence
taken before the Railway Compensation Committee should be
printed for the use of their Lordships only.—Agreed to.
MESSAGE FRO.II THE COMMONS.
Messengers from the Commons brought up the Nottingham
Waterworks Bill, and several other private Bills.
M A YNOO TH.

Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from Stockpori
in favour of the grant to Maynootii.
Mr. O'DRISCOLL.

The NOBLE and LEARNED LORD then said he wished to
draw the attention of his Noble and Learned Friend on the
Woolsack, to a statement which he had seen in a Paris
paper, quoted from an English paper, relative to the conduct
of Mr. O'Driscoll, an Irish magistrate, who had been twice
removed from the Bench, and twice reinstated; and if the
statement he had read were true, he felt bound to say, that
he had never heard of an instance in which the administra-
tion of justice had been brought into more flagrant contempt,
than it had been by the outrageous conduct of this individual.
Now it was possible that that statement might be true,
although it had appeared in a newspaper—( A laugh)—and he
hoped his Noble and Learned Friend would answer his ques-
tion, which was, whether or not Mr. O'Driscoll was still re-
tained in the commission of the peace. It appeared that
Mr. O'Driscoll was the presiding magistrate at the Petty
Sessions, at Skibbereen, at the time the transaction to which
he alluded had taken place. (The Noble Lord then read the
account which appeared in The Sun about a week since, of
the conduct of Mr. O'Driscoll, from which it appeared
that Mr. O'Driscoll, or one of his brother magistrates,
refusing to take certain informations, exclaimed, " By God, I
do not understand these popularity-hunting magistrates," and
that on Mr. Galway, the other magistrate, attempting to
speak, Mr. O'Driscoll called out, " Sit down, Sir, end hold
your tongue. You had better sit down, or I will meet you
elsewhere.") So that here they had a magistrate sworn to
keep the Queen's peace, and presiding over his brother magis-
trates, threatening to challenge one 01 them to break the
peace, and making this challenge on the bench of justice itself.
Now, if this were true, it exceeded in indecency all that he had
ever heard of as connected with the administration of justice.
The Noble Lord then went on to read the report. On one of
the magistrates remonstrating, Mr. O'Driscoll said, " I tell
you, man, I did not mean him at all ;" whereupon Mr.
Fleming, another magistrate, said that if Mr. O'Driscoll did
not give them an assurance that the affair should go no further,
he should feel it his duty to bind him over to keep the peace.
Now this attempt of one magistrate to challenge another on
the bench, was one of the grossest breaches of the peace that
could be committed. This took place the other day at
Skibbereen.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said he had nothing to do
with the appointment of magistrates in Ireland. He knew that
the conduct of Mr. O'Driscoll had been made the subject of
discussion last session, and that their Lordships seemed satisfied
with his reappointment.—( Hear.) He had never heard any-
thing of the transaction to which his Noble and Learned Friend
had alluded, and had nothing to do with the appointment or
removal of Irish magistrates ; but lie would, if his Noble and
Learned Friend wished it, write for some explanation on that
subject to the Lord Chancellor of Ireland.
Lord BROUGHAM said he did not mean to hold his Noble
and Learned Friend responsible. He hoped he would not be
satisfied with a mere answer, but would fully investigate the
whale of the circumstances of the ease.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said he should communicate
with the Lord Chancellor of Ireland, and direct his attention
to the matter in question.
The Earl of MOUNTCASHEL said, Mr. O'Driscoll being
a magistrate in his part of the country, and knowing him very
well, he wished to know whether the matter, to which the
Noble Lord had called the attention of the House, was of re-
cent occurrence ?—( Hear, hear. )
Lord BROUGHAM said it was.
The Earl of MOUNTCASHEL said it was rather remark-
able that it should have been alluded to in the French, and not
in the English newspaper.
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE said he had seen it in
mere than one Irish newspaper.
The Earl of MOUNTCASHEL said he had no doubt that,
if it were inquired into, Mr. O'Driscoll would not be found the
guilty individual lie was said to be. Mr. O'Driscoll was a
Roman Catholic and a Conservative, and this was a crime not
to be forgiven in Ireland ; but a man who had the misfortune
to be a Conservative was condemned to all et ernity.—( Laughter. )
The Roman Catholics bore a great dislike to Mr. O'Driscoll
for these reasons, and were determined to renew the warfare
which they had evinced towards him on a former occasion. He
again expressed his belief that the statement of the Noble Lord
was incorrect.
Earl FORTESCUE said, as the person who had
brought forward this subject last session, he was desirous of
saying a few words on the subject before the House. On that
occasion he heard no defence of Mr. O'Driscoll in that House,
and then the charges brought against him were not made be-
cause they appeared in a newspaper; but after he had been
convicted by a court of session, he now felt it his duty to say
what he had said on the occasion to which he alluded—that the
conduct of Air. O'Driscoll was most unbecoming in any one
holding the station of a magistrate and of a gentleman. He
had seen the statement referred to by the Noble Lord in
both Irish and English newspapers. The reason why he
was restored to the commission of the peace was, that it was
expected to conduce to his amendment—(Hear, hear)—that
he would have been prevented from repeating the conduct
which he was stated to have been guilty of before. He be-
lieved he should be borne out in this statement. Mr. O'Driscoll
had, however, a serious relapse.— (Laughter.) He hoped that
if, after inquiry, the statements of the Noble Lord were found
to be true, that he would not be suffered to remain any longer
in the commission, that he might not again be suffered to fall
into a relapse.
Lord WHA RNCLIF FE said that was the first time he had
heard of the subject, and he did not hesitate to say that more
improper conduct on the bench could riot be pursued by a
magistrate. Persons on the bench should conduct themselves
in a decent manner, and like gentlemen, recollecting that they
were cunservators of the peace. It was unnecessary for him
to say much up.in the subject. He was, however, glad to see
the matter was in a proper course.
MAYNOOTH.
_ _ _

The LORD CHANCELLOR—presented a petition from
magistrates, bankers, and members of various professions in
Belfast, in favour of the grant to Maynooth. The petition was
signed by about 400 persons, Protestants of different denomina-
tions, three of them being deputy representatives in the
council, twenty magistrates, nine bankers, and other persons
of great respectability.
The Earl of MOUNTCASHEL presented two petitions
against the grant—one was from the General Assembly of
Presbyterians in England, and the other from the county of
Derry.
Lord MONTEAGLE presented a petition from a congrega-
tion of Protestant Dissenters at Cambridge against the grant
to Maynootb, and another from the same place in favour of it.
The Bishop of CASHEL presented a petition, signed by
270 ministers of the Established Church of England and Ire-
land. He was only a stranger in their Lordships' House, and
he was not aware, therefore, whether he was quite at liberty
to make any remarks on the presentation of a petition, but, if
permitted, he did wish to say a few words. Their Lord-
ships were aware that in this city, at a certain season of the
year, several religious societies assembled to hold their anni-
versary meetings. Such was also the ease in Ireland; and
during one of these assemblages this petition was signed in the
course of two days by these 270 clergymen. Now, in advo-
cating the cause which these gentlemen wished to promote, he
was free to confess that tle Irish Church, at the close of the
last century, had been in as low a state as pos-
sible,
and that it had been made simply a political engine to
serve the purposes of the Ministry for the time being.
No institution could ever flourish under such treatment as that
which the Irish Church received. If a coach proprietor had a
horse that was restive and vicious, and that horse was put in a
coach which it was not used to, no one would be surprised if the
coach was sometimes upset. The present Government had
disposed of their Church patronage in Ireland in a fair and
honourable manner, and it mutt be evident, he thought, to all
parties, that they acted upon the just and sound principle of
preferring those who were humane and good. Dr. Long, a
very eminent prelate of the Roman Catholiit Church, gave it
as his opinion, that the clergy of the Irish Protestant Church
uniformly showed the greatest kindness to all around them. He
could not conceive a sight. more melancholy, or an anomaly
more egregious, than a church established for the teaching of
one set of doctrines, which they considered the only right and
pure, being engaged in the propagation of tenets which, on the
other hand, they regarded as erroneous, superstitious, and ido-
latrous.—( Hear. )
The Marquis of NORMANRY. concurring in every word
which had fallen from the Right Rev. Prelate, wished' to put
one question respecting the remarks which he had made on
presenting the petition. It was, whether very diAinguished
clergymen of his own diocese had not refused to sign the peti-
tion, and expressed their entire dissent from the purport of
the prayer? Lett the Right Rev. Prelate should forget the
circumstance to which he alluded, ha would name the clergy-
men who hail entered their protest against the language of the
document—they were the Rev. Messrs. Woodward, Darby,
Palliser, and Ilofferman.

The Bishop of CASHEL denied that any clergyman
of his diocese had refused to sign the petition,
and for the simple reason that they had never been asked.
The petition had merely lain for signature in Dublin during
the late Easter meetings in that city, and been voluntarily
drawn up and supported by 270 clergymen as he before stated.
He had heard that an address, signed by 9 or 10 of the 160 cler-
gymen of his diocese was intended to be presented to him with an
address in favour of the grant. He could only say that as yet
he had received nothing of the kind, and even of its existence
he merely knew by report.
Earl FITZWILLIAM protested against the assertion
of the Right Rev. Prelate, that the clergy in his diocese
were in favour of the petition, and that those who did not par-
take of that unanimity were guilty of great dereliction of
duty, because they ought not to enjoy the endowments
of Protestantism and at the same time be a

a party to the preaching of something which the flight Rev.
Prelate did not exactly express. No one could regret more
than himself the differences that existed between the Church
of England and the Church of Rome. The Right Rev. Pre-
late drew a contrast between the mode of distributing Church
patronage at the present moment with what it had formerly
been, and said that for a long period every appointment in
Ireland—lay as well as clerical—had been made with deference
to English, and a neglect of Irish interests. He did not agree
with that, nor that the Protestant religion in Ireland had ad-
vanced more rapidly at the present time than during the days
of Usher, Jeremy Taylor, King, and others.
The matter then dropped.
The Bishop of LLANDAFF presented a petition from his
diocese against the grant to Maynooth, which the petitioners
considered in direct opposition to the constitution of the coun-
try. He would merely say, that he heartily concurred in the
sentiments contained in the petition
The Marquis of BREADALBANE presented 746 petitions
to the same effect from Wesleyan Congregations in Great
Britain and Ireland, signed by 70,534 individuals. He said
the body from whom the petitions emanated had expended up-
wards of 100,0001. in promoting the extension of Christianity
in all parts of the world. The chief of these petitions was
agreed to at a meeting of theWeskyan body, in their Centenary I
Hall, on Friday, March 28th last, and as it would occupy too
much of their Lordships' time if he were to go through the
