General ,11,1ATtirvc, S'it i'd he had been misrejire-

lle hall been iiiaile to say that Z.0',01)(1,00i3 trlsn
Catholics were folk' prepared to agree to certain
eolicussians ; HMI 11111 t be bad been to the-ropd
to conciliate Ilk aoliness to the Veto. Suebil
thing never entefed his Mind. lie was a gatitigt
time Veto, as a Protestant, because it would throw
enorinotts Ptiwer into the handi of the Crown ;
anti as to the Catholics, lie believed not one in a
thousand of then could be in favour'of it. The
bishops and clergy, he believed, were willing to
nree to doinestic nomination Mid. dotneitic ar-
1111%0111CM. Ile was sure the Irish people would
always go along with their bishops, duleSs they
.were seceders;

I I PaAR observed on the designation given
to thentserves by the petitioners as Bishops.
Sir Jour; Cox Ilireistxr adverted to an AO of
(we believe) the 21st of the King, which rendered
it diliicolt, in his view, to receive this petition ;
et the same time, yore hill testimony to the
eiemplatyloyalty•of the greater part of the Irish
Roma!' Catholic Clergy.
Sir J. Nnwrour thought. the spirit of the Act
was clearly to do away ohUoxions proviiions: lie
remembered that Bishop Horsley had said, that
Roman Catholic Bishops were as. oich' Bishops
a 3 any others. : Every hotly allowed their loyalty
and assiduity even in troublesome times.
Sir J. C. litrrisLEY was ready to'ailinit that the
, Roman Cntholic 130rops were, hon z file Prelates ;
but in that ehurelt that a Prdate should be a Bi-
shop,tor Acchhishop.
Mr. LESLIE FOSTER §aw no:oblection Ack.the
Petition, us the Bishops- were merely styled as
soch, Withont their natning Armagh or Dublin, or:
Any other pliers us their seeS. Had they dotes, so,:
their Petitions might have, be'en rejected. The.
Ecclesiastical laws admitted Catholic .ordination,
but'refhsed it temporal Authority. 'A convert from
the Catholic priesthood did not need Episcopal
ordination again.
Sir J, NICI;OLL observed, that in the title of
the Petition the petitioners ‘vereooly called bishops
clergy professing-the Roman:catholie religion
in Ireland. lie saw no objedtion to receiving. it.

The retilion was bt
ong.it tip and read, arid, after
tt few words from Sir ii. Parnell and-Mr. Preston,
was ordered to lie on the table.
