The Earl of HARROWBY thought, if the word Build-
ings was used, the word Hot-houses was unnecessary. He
had heard in the debate that the law was uncertain, and he
_thought their Lordships would not do their duty if they
did not make the law quite certain. It was very hard
that a man should not know, in defending his property,
whether he committed murder or not. He had heard it
doubted whether a man had a right to shoot another enter-
ing his house pith violence.—(No, from Lord Suffield).....
He had so understood it, and their Lordships could never
leave a question of that kind under any doubt. He did not
approve of the Amendment, and would not vote for a Bill
which' did not prohibit setting spring-guns in all cases.

GAME LAWS BILL.

for the House to resolve itself into a Committee on the
Game Laws Bill.

The House then resolved itself into the Committee, in

poaching,
and
Lord REDESDALE objected to the principle of the first
clause, and thought thatthere were many innovations in the
Bill which the tegiilature ought not to sanction.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY disapproved of many
things in the Bill which were innovations, without being
improvements on the old system. He particularly ob-
jected to that part of it which proposed the licensing of the
sale of game. This was introduced, as appeared to him,
for the purpose of affording an opportunity to great keepers
of game, when they had an overgrown stock upon their
hands, to dispose of them to some persons licensed to sell it.
He preferred to keep up the present custom of disposing of
the surplus quantity of game to one's friends and tenants.
Filers appeared to be at present a rage for experiments
which he was not disposed to sanction. There were ex-
periments in the Navigation Laws, in Trade, and they had
not been attended with any great advantage : neither did
he expect that experiments in the present law upon this
subject would be attended with benefit.
Lord WHARNCLIFFE said, that if the Noble Lord
did not think there was any necessity for alteration in
the present Game Laws, he could assure him he would
find himself in a great minority of the nation iti that
sentiment. Throughout the country the greatest anxiety
prevailed for a change which the Noble Lord declared to
be unnecessary. It was said that the Bill proposed in-
novations ; but it did not.
Lord REDESDALE--" It is altogether new."
Lord WHARNCLIFFE was prepared to prove that ;f
was not new, even in those respects iu which the greatest
novelty was supposed to consist. By the common law, a
man had a right to kill game on the ground the freehold
of which was in him. Such was the opinion of Lord
Coke, who said, that he who hath a freehold, by reason of
the freehold had a property in the animals, ferce naturce,
found upon it. The same doctrine was established by the
Statute Law, as appeared from the 10th of Henry 6th.
Indeed, it stood to reason that this should be so ; for surely
it could not be maintained, that the herds of another man
should come on a man's freehold, and consume the pro-
duce of his soil, and that that man should not have a
right to kill the game that thus intruded upon his land.
He contended this was no novelty; but a practice conform-
able to Common and Statute Law, and consistent with
common sense.

The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that although
Lord Coke was a very high and eminent authority, yet
many of his doctrines on important subjects were ques-
tioned—and many of them were not the present law of
the country. Now, he apprehended that his doctrine upon
this subject was not the law of the country in the sense in
which the Noble Lord understood it. That a man might
have an action of trespass against a person who •carne upon
his ground in pursuit of game might be—but he would
ask, if the person on whose ground the game was killed
could bring an action of trover for the game killed upon
his ground, as being his property? If he could not, it
would follow that he had no property in it. For the pre-
sent he would offer no opposition to the Bill, but should
reserve whatever remarks he might be disposed to make
to some future stage of the Bill. He would for the pre-
sent only say, that the great cause of the evil of poaching
appeared to him to lie in what were called battus ; and
whilst they were kept up, it would be as diffizult to pre-
vent the sun from shining as it would be to prevent
poaching.

- Lord-SUFFIELD said that there was the greatest ha-
tred throughout the country against the present laws. It
was desirable that the sentiments of the Legislature should
be consentaneous with public opinion. Public opinion was
so decided against the present laws, that some change was
indispensable.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH said that instead of a discus-
sion of this kin I, it would be better to postpone the sug-
gestions they might have to offer when the Bill was before
the House in all its details.

Lord REDESDALE continued of the same opinion that
he had at first expressed. The Noble Lord concluded by
declaring that he objected to the measure because it would
go to alter the whole system of the Game Laws, while be
bad much rather that these laws should remain as the} were.
The Earl of ABINGDON could not avoid observing,

any system which could not support itself by the power
of the law, without having the assistance of an armed
force.—(Hear, hear.)
The Clause was then agreed to, and ordered to stand as
a part of the Bill.
Lord WHARNCLIFFE then intimated to their Lord-
ships his desire to consult their convenience respecting the
discussion upon the other clauses. If it was their Lord-
ships' pleasure to postpone that discussion until another
time, he had no objection.
Several Noble Lords having expressed.a wish to go on,
the Noble Baron was proceeding to move the next clause,

CATHOLIC QUESTION-CATHOLIC ASSOCIA•

TION.

Admiral SOTHERON rue to present a petition, (we
did not hear from what place), praying that no farther
concessions might be 'wade to the Roman Catholim

On the question that the petition be brought up,
The Marquis of CHANDOS was anxious to take that
opportunity of .;:king a Right Hon. and Learned. Gentle-
man (Mr. Ply.nkett), whom he saw in his place, one Or
two questions. It was now two years since Parliament
had passer: a Bill fur putting down the Catholic Associa-
tion in Ireland. and it was quite notorious that that Assa-
ciation was still in existence, and acting, he might sa.);,
!wen increased effect.—(Hear, hear.)—The questions hie
wished to ask the Right Hon. and Learned Geztletnah
were—first, why had not the law for putting down the
association been carried into effect? and secondly, whethir
any and what measures ware in contemplation for the pui,
pose of altering the law, so as to, meet the present state Of
things, and effectually put the association down?--.(Hear:)

Mr. PLUNKETT—Thu Noble Lord had put two ques-
tions to him, to which as an individual he the.ught that an
answer ought not to be expected from hi,n. The Noble
Lord had said, that a Bill had been pv.sed two years ago
fir putting dowis the Catholic Assy.iiation, but that BDI
did not originate with him (Mr. Plunkett). He gave it,
however, his entire support, 'as did also the Noble Lord
himself. As to any intration of introducing any oth4r
measure for amending cre altering that Act, he was not the
individual to whom ene Noble Lord should apply for info -
mation. It was on his Majesty's Government that such
task must devokre, and could not be supposed to rest 'midi
so hunt to a Member as himself.—(Hear, hear-)—llia M
jesty's Secretary for the Home Department, and the Seer
tarp for Ireland, were present, and would, no doubt,
mealy to answer whatever it might be thought necessary
communicate on this subject ; but the matter did not reit
.vith him. The Noble Lord had asked why the law fOr
putting down the Catholic Association bad not been
ried into effect ? Now, with great respect for the Noble
Lord, he' must say, that the question involved a proposl-
tion which if the Noble Lord took for granted, he ought
not to have introduced in that way to the House.--/lien
hear. )—lf the Noble Lord thought that any blame was
be attributed,tp Iwinkindividually, or to any other member
of the Goeernmens is Ireland, or in this country, for no 4,
as he seemed, to think, having carried the law into effec',
this, he begged to ':einind him, was not the course he shou4l
have pursued.--(Hear, hear.)
General VASCOYNE expressed a hope that the Noble
Lord (Ctiandos) would not be satisfied with the arm+
prnreedinB,
whe:a
Mr. A. BARING rose to order. He 'submitted thit
going into discussions of this laud, where there was so ge-
neral question before the House, was irregular.—(Heat,
hear, and cries of " Go on.")
. _ _

General GASCOYNE again proceeded to address the
House, and wee observing that I.ie Hon. Member who letd
interrupted him was more out of order than he was, when
Sir GEORGE WARRENDER rose to order, and
pointed out the inconvenience which must result from
bringing on a discussion on a question being asked, and
when there was strictly no motion before the House.—
(Cries of " Cbair, chair.")
The SPEAKEP, apprehended the case to stand thus : on
a petition, praying that no further concessions be made to
the Roman Catholics, a Noble Lord took the opportunity
of asking a question, to which a reply was made, and art-
other lion. Member followed up the sane course on an-
rather side. The right of every Hon. Member to address
the House on any motion before it was of course unques-
tioned, but he could not conceal his anxious wish that
Hon. Members sheuld be impressed with the advantage
that must accrue in forwarding the business of the House,
if, in discussing petitions, they should diverge as little as
possible from what was contained within the four cornets
of the petition immediately before them.—(Hear, hear.)
General GASCOYNE then proceeded. lie had no wish,
he observed, to create a discussion on this occasion. He had
risen for the purpose of stating his opinion that the answer
given by the Right Hon. and. Learned Gentleman to the
question of the Noble Lord was by no means satisfactory,
and to express his hope that the Noble Lord would not be
deterred by what had been said from bringing the subjeCt
forward.
Colonel TRENCH said, the subject was one which he
hoped would call forth the serious attention of Parliament.
An Act had passed for the purpose of putting down the
Catholic Association, but instead of that being the resuli,
it was now found that that body was going on in a still
more active course, and had actually taken upon themselves
the function& of the Legislature, and yet no attempt had
been made by the Attorney-General of Ireland to put theM
down. It had been stated that the concession of Catholic
Emancipation would be sufficient to quiet Ireland. This
he begged most distinctly to deny. He thought it would
lead only to farther disturbance, and when it was no longer
a question of Catholic Emancipation, it would become one
of Catholic superiority.—(Here there were some murmurs
of impatience on the part of many Members at, as it
peered to us, both sides of the House.)—The lion. Member
proceeded. He would not trespass long on the indulgence
of the House. Ireland was said to be, and he believed A
was in a state bordering on fury; and what was the
versed),? Why, violent and inflammatory speeches in the
Catholic Association, and he was sorry to add, speechei
equally violent and inflammatory elsewhere.—(llear, hear;
and some murmurs.)—ln such a state of irritation, here
were the remedies. " Here," continued the Hon. 'Member;
" here are the combustible materials, and there is the man
with the lighted match."—(Some laughter, and loud oriel
of " name, name," followed the delivery of this sentence.,
The cries of " name," were continued so long, that thel
Hon. Member could not proceed for a few minutes.)—Hd
at length went on and observed, that.in the use of a name
in that House, he would act according to his own diserej
don. If he abstained from naming any individual, those
who knew his temper and feelings would give him credit
for not shrinking from the avowal in any man's presenc4
of that which he might say of him in his absence. Hd
was not one who would limit the expression of his feelingii
to his place in Parliament. They were wound round;
his heart. He repeated, that violent and inflammatory',

speeches, such as those to which he had alluded, wou4
have the effect of increasing the irritation in Ireland.
That country might be pacified by another course.
They were told that the people of this country would not
bear such a state as that in which the people of Ireland were
kept ; and again, that such oppression would call forth thei
energies of the whole nation to a man.— ( Bear, hear.
Was such language calculated to promote tranquillity ? To
those vrtio knew Ireland, and the temperature of its inha-
bitants, it must be clear that such language had a direce
tendency to make them break out in acts of violence. When
such language
oas that he had noticed had been used by ho-
nurable and learned gentlemen, it was not necessary for
hint to point out more particularly the quarter to which he
adverted, for, happily, there was not a man in that Houser
who did n,t understand the- allusion in its full force.=
(hear, hear.)—He would now very briefly give to the
hope the result of what had been his most mature reflec-
t'''. as tu the measures which he thought would pacify Ire-
land. The first which he should propose for the pacifica-
tion of
Ireland „
would be, to put down the Catholic Asso-
a:lol2 ; and he believed that it might be put down by ap-

county in Ireland.—(Groans continued.—He had now
done.--(A loud laugh. )—The Government and Legislature
had done much of late years to improve the condition of
the people of Ireland, and he believed that they would have
done still more, had they not been impeded in their career
by the serious injury which the Catholic Association was
ever seeking opportunely to inflict upon Ireland. He was
convinced that in the short Administration of the Marquis
Wellesley, more real advantage had been conferred upon
the Irish people than had been conferred upon them for
ages preceding it.—(Groans.)—He thought that the law-
officers of the Crown ought not to have stood -with their
arms folded before them, like indifferent witnesses of the
torrent of sedition which has been recently poured out
upon Ireland.—(Groans.)--They ought long since to have
put down that illegal association which had recently arro-
gated to itself the right of exercising a dominion para-
mount to that of the King's Government, over the people
of Ireland.—[Here the groaning, which for some time past
had been regularly set up as the gallant Colonel came to
the end of each of his sentences, was continued to the end
of his speech without intermission. It was totally dissi-
milar from the coughing which usually takes place when
the House wishes to show that it is tired of attending to
any particular speaker. A long drawling cry of "Oh !
oh!" began at one end of the opposition benches, and ran
on to the other, just as, in firing a feu de joie, the dis-
charge runs from one end of the line to another. The
regularity with which the cry rose and fell as the gallant
Colonel proceeded with his speech, created considerable
laughter in the gallery, and ales in the body of the House.
It completely drowned the .7oice of the Hon. Member.]
Mr. PEEL rose for the purpose of deprecating the con-
tinuance of a discus ion, which from the number of subjects
it embraced mast be imperfect at all times, and particularly
imperfect at this moment, as no notice of it had been pre-
viously 'Omen. His Hon. and Gallant Friend, in the course
of his speech had embraced the questions of education, of
employing the poor, of altering the elective franchise, of
paying the Catholic clergy, of putting down the Catholic
association, and of granting relief to the Catholics; and as
if that were not enough, had thrown in as a makeweight a
little dissertation on the corn laws.—(A laugh.)_He was
not in the House when this petition was first presented ;
but he had heard so much of it from other quarters, that
he should certainly take the first opportunity of inspecting
it. His Hon. and Gallant Friend had said, that he would
not allude to any subject which was not contained within
the four corners of this petition ; now, if his Hon. and
Gallant Friend had been as good as his word, the petition,
from containing all the topics into which he had entered,
must be so extraordinary a document, that his curiosity was
really excited to see it.---(" Hear," and a laugh. )—Besides
the motive which he bad just stated, he had another reason
for rising to address the House. He could not hear the
question which had been put by a Noble Lord to his Right
Hon. and Learned Friend the Attorney-General for Ire-
land, as to why the law had not been employed against the
Catholic Association, without saying a word or two re-
garding it. The institution of a criminal prosecution
against a body like the Catholic Association, involved not
only questions of law, but also of discretion. Questions of
law were, he admitted, decided by the law officers of the
Crown alone ; but questions of discretion were decided by
the Administration generally. He was, therefore, bound.
to say, that if a responsibility was to attach to any one kir
the non-enforcement of the law against the Catholic Asun-
ciation, it must attach quite as much to the individual who
filled the office of Secretary of State for the Home Depart-
ment as it did to the individual who filled the office Of
Attorney-General for Ireland._(Hear, hear.)With re-
gard to the other prosecutions which his Right Him. and
Learned Friend had been called upon to institute, he would
merely say this—that he had never seen his Right Hon.
and Learned Friend shrink from his duty on account of
party motives, where the law bad been violated, or urge
the prosecution of it where it had not.—(He...t, hear.) '
Mr. PLUNKETT was relieved from the. :.sk of giv-
ing any reply to the Noble Lord, who had interrogated
him as to his reasons for not enforcing the law against the
Catholic Association, by the candid and manly declaration
of the Right Hon. Secretary near him, that he was willing
to take his share of responsibility for not permitting tre
enforcement of it. On that subject, therefore, it would
not become him to say a word more; but the Rouise, he.
was sure, would think it extraordinary, if he permitted tlie
speech of the Hon. and gallant Member for Cambridge Ro

pass by without any observation. That Hen. and Gallant
Member, in the course of his remarks, had thought proper
to allude with considerable indignation to a speech which
he (Mr. Plunkett) had made three weeks ago, when the
Catholic claims were under consideration. Owing to the
impetuosity of the Hon. and Gallant Member's temper--
(a laugh,) he had given three weeks to silent rumination
on a speech, which, whether it was good or had, he had
heat d delivered ; and now, after an interval of three weeks,
he came forward with a set reply to it, though he had not
ventured to utter one remark upon it at the time it was
anade, though he said that even then he considered the de-
livery of it to be like the application of a match to a barrel
of gunpowder.—(Hear.)—Yes, extraordinary as it might
appear, it was nevertheless true, that the impetuosity of
the Hon. Member's temper was such that he could not let
more than three weeks elapse before he undertook the task
of refuting a speech, which, according to his account, was
to be the lightning that was to set Ireland in a blaze, and
to electrify it from one end to the other.—(A laugh. )
Now, if the impetuosity of the Hon. Member's memory at
all kept pace with the impetuosity of his temper, he would
find that he had been guilty of a misrepresentation of the
opinions which he (Mr. Plunkett) had expressed on the
evening to which he (Colonel Trench) had alluded. He
would likewise find that the opinions which he had put into
his (Mr. Plunkett's) mouth, were falsified, not only by
the whole course of argument which he had used in that
debate, but also by the whole course of his life, which
he thought he might say it without vanity—had been such
as to render it unnecessary for him to protect himself from
the irregular and unprovoked charge which the Hon. and
Gallant Member had brought against him. If there was
any man who for a long period had been in the habit of
advocating the claims of the Catholics, and who could
appeal with satisfaction to his conduct in advocating their
claims, both in and out of the House, he thought that
without being too much of a self-eulogist, he might say
that he was that man. His lesson to the Catholics, at all
times and in all places, had been this—that it was only by
appealing respectfully to the legislature, and by showing
submissiveness to the Government, and obedience to the law,
they could hope to conciliate the people of this country, and
to obtain the great and important objects they had in view.
(Hear.) In th speech, to which the Hon. and Gallant Mem-
ber had alluded, that was the language which he held, that
was the advice which lie repeated to them.—(Hear.)—
After arguing the other parts of the subject, he had pro-
ceeded to notice the clamour raised by the Catholics, as
they had been mentioned as a reason for denying them any,
further relief. He had called upon the House to consider
first the boon which the Catholics asked for, and next
what degree of value they set upon it. For the purpose
of impressing the House with an idea of the value which
the Catholics set upon the privileges withheld from them,
he had put this case to the House—" Supposing that the
Protestants, who had been for a century and a half in
possession of those privileges, which were withheld front
the Catholics, were to be suddenly deprived of them, howl
would they feel ?" He repeated now what he had said
before—that they would feel themselves grievously wronged
anti would a thousand times over prefer the loss of their
lives to the loss of their privileges.---(Hear, hear.) He
did not know how the impetuosity of the Hon. and Gal-
lant Member's temper might feel, if he were told that he.
was unworthy to sit in Parliament, and to make laws af-
fecting his life and property.—(Hear, hear.) He did not
know what might pass in that Hon. and Gallant Member's
mind, neither did he claim, nor did he wish any sympathy
with that Hon. and Gallant Member's feelines—(Loud,
cries of " hear" from the Opposition); but of this he was,
satisfied, that there was no man—whose bosom covered an,
honest English heart, and whose feelings were alive to the
calls of honourable fluty—who would not respond to the
challenge he had thrown out, and declare, in the most,
emphatic terms, that his privileges should never be wrested
from him but with his life. In using that language, he,
never thought of applying it to the case of Catholics, who
stood in a very different situation from the Protestants, to
whom, under hypothetical circumstances, he had applied it..
He never dreamed of advising the Catholics to appeal to.
amia•—(Hear, hear.) All be said was, the clamour which

" leonum
.4 Vinela recusantam-" (Hear, hear.)
The case of the Roman Catholics, however, was widely dif-
ferent. They had been suing, for the last 50 years, for the
repeal of those disqualifications from which Protestants were
free. Their course was quiet submission to the law. By
that they had gained all which had hitherto been granted to
them, and by that alone could they expect to gain what
they still demanded.—(Hear.)—He begged pardon for
trespassing so much at length upon the House, but he con-
ceived that lie should have been wanting in duty to himself
had he allowed the observations of the Gallant Member to
go forth without an answer.
Colonel TRENCH said, that the points which he had
mentioned, were brought intentionally by him before the
notice of the House, in order that English gentlemen might
reflect upon them during the recess.—(Laughter.)--He re-
peated that the speech of the Attorney-General for Ireland
on the resolutions of Sir Francis Burdett was more sedi-
tious than that which bad excited his indignation against
Mr. Shiel.—(Hear.)—The dangers with which Mr. Shiel
bad threatened the Government were remote and contin-
gent ; but the reasoning of the Right Hon. and Learned
Gentleman was calculated to produce immediate danger, by
stinging the mass of the sensitive and setherial people of Ire-
land—(laughter)—into insurrection and rebellion. He ad-
mitted, that in 1812, he had been an enthusiastic advocate
for the Catholics. At that time he had no property i 4,
Ireland, now he had some. For the last nine years, he 1. „A
lived upon it in Connaught. He had there seen so rr such
mischief arising out of the agitation of this question,
tbat
he bad been compelled to change his opinions, and ,e was
now an open but conscientious opposer of any farth per con-
cessions to the Catholics.—(Hear, hear.)
The petition was then laid upon the table.

Sir E. KNATCHBULL wanted tot question to his
Hon. Friend the Member for Somers, respecting the
notice of the motion which stood "f ar to-day, and which
excited so much interest in the c( n why. Circumstances
by the v Tejon,
that were known to all the world b a') occurred, which made
it inexpedient to bring forward s7cli a proposition. He
therefore hoped that his Hon. ri ?nd would give it up, by

Gth°r°ow Cnil out perfectly
fy
sub-
mit his opinions to the jukraent of the House ; and if he
could by any means ascer'w,in the sense of the House, he
would act in accordance vlith it. Bnt he bad no means of
doing so.—(A laugh.) lie should be sorry to do any-
thing which could milit a te against the proceedings of Go-
vernment, or to moot 7.liy question that could interfere with
its functions ; but he eould not, at the same time, com-
promise his own fed.regs, nor willingly forego an intention
he had adopted on mature deliberation, without an assur-
ance—without soi.nething like an understanding, that an
Administration was about to be formed. On these grounds
he would withdraw the motion, if the House had satisfac-
tion given to them on this subject by kis Majesty's Minis-
ters; and it 'would, he was sure, be no less a source of
satisfaction tcs the country at large. Any direct notice, by
his Majesty's Ministers, with respect to the formation of a
Ministry, would entirely alter the state of the case.—( Hear. )
Mr. Secretary CANNING spoke as follows :—" If I
understood aright the proposal which the Honourable
Baronet. makes to his Majesty's Ministers, it is to this
effect :--that whereas he having given notice of a motion,
which. in the exercise of his discretion he bad a perfect right
to dr), for carrying up to the Throne the opinion of this
Holtse, as to the principles upon which an Administration
ought to be formed, he is prepared to withdraw that
motion, or to abstain from pressing it, if he should learn
from any of his Majesty's Servants in this House that an
Administration is already in progress of being formed.
Now, as to the fact of his being so prepared, I should have
thought that what fell from me a few days ago, in reference
to the intended arrangements upon his Majesty's arrival in
town, would bare been a sufficient guide for the discretion
of any Honourable Member in such a case. But I confess
.that I am as,entirelv at a loss to understand the arguments
upon which thelfonourable Baronet is now prepared to
withdraw his motion, as I before was to understand his
_ _

reasons for bringing it forward at all. I conceive that if he
thinks the advice of this House necessary as to the prin-
ciples upon which an Administration ought to be formed,
nothing .short of the actual formation.of-an Adraintat:at:lots,
—by which fact such counsel could not •arrive at the
Throne until it would be too late—can logically or reason-
ably justify him in withholding it. ' It seems to me a
whimsical thing to say, ' I will not bring forward my ad-
vice if it is too late, and I will withhold it if it is in time.
The Honourable Gentleman must judge for himself whether
he will or will not press his {lotion ; with that I have
nothing to do; but I am bound in truth and honesty to tell
him that the arrangements for a new Administration are
not so far advanced as to afford him the excuse of being too
late."

Sir T. LETHBRIDGE had hoped to have received
from the Right Hon. Secretary such an answer as would
have rendered his motion unnecessary ; but after what had
fallen from the Right Hon. Secretary, he certainly could
not consent to withdraw it.

Colonel WOOD rose amidst loud cries of " Chair,"
" Order."
The SPEAKER was sure the House would see the in-
convenience of proceeding with such a discussion. There-
fore, it was to be hoped that the gallant Colonel would
reserve what he had to say in reference to this question,
until it was regularly brought forward.—(Hear.)

TEST AND CORPORATION ACTS.
Lord J. RUSSELL gave notice, that he would, on
Thursday, the 31st of May, move for the total repeal of
of the Test and Corporation Acts.
