The Duke of RICHMOND presented two petitions
from the county of York, against the Catholic claims.
Lord MOUNTCASHEL presented a petition from
the Ministers, Elders, and Presbyters of the county df
Antrim against the Catholic claims. He had heard that
ninety-nine Presbyterians out of a hundred, in the North
of Ireland, were opposed to Emancipation. The Noble Lord
read a communication which was made to him, stating that
the Catholics meant to evade the laws, suppressing the
Roman Catholic associatians. He understood they meant
to do this by changing their names ; and they considered
that nothing was wanting on the part of the Brunewickers,
but to. change their names also, if they wished to pro-
ceed with their views. This should distinctly state that
these agitators were not satisfied. The Noble Lord verily
believed that these measures would only make things worse,
and for his own part he had made up his mind to pass the
rest of his life in peace and quiet. (Great laughter.)
Lord GOSFORD entirely disagreed with the Noble
Lord.

had just sat down.
