MR. ICKNRICK.
The Earl of ESSEX said, he had ventured to trou-
ble the House a few weeks ago, on the subjecs of Mr.
Kenrick, a Welch Judge, and'also a Magistrate of the
County of Surrey. -He had then taken the liberty of
putting a question to the Noble and Learned. Lord on
the Woolsack, but hehad not obtained any satisfactory
answer. He had at that time wished to make, a motion
on the subject, but lie was prevented by some technical
objections. Since that time one of the greatest violations
of justice had been ccmmitted by that Judge, but re-
specting that he should not go into any particulars, as
the, proceeding had been compromised; though it had
been repotted in the Papers, and the Attorney-General
had expressed his disgust at the transaction, in the
-mist marked manner. Several of the Magistrates of
Surrey had expressed the..same sentiments, and indeed
refused to sit on the Bench with him. He (Lord Esses)
had heard, that notwithstanding all this, kir. Kenrick
still retained his situation as a Welch Judge, and was
still a Justice oft the. Peace for the County of Surrey.
Everybody knew that the whole of the proceeding in
which •Mr.-reprick was a party, witt a flagrant viola-
tion of justice? but as there was no mode of proceeding
against him, he (Lord Essex) could,bet repeat his ques-
tion, whether any communication had been made from
the Court of King's Bench ?--[The LORD CHARM..
LOR.•••••" No." —Then it must rest with the Noble and
Learned Lord to declare whether Mr. Kenrick should
remain in the Commission of the Peace? If he did not think it
proper co remove such a blagiitrate, then he (Lord Essex) had not
another word to say.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, he believed the in-
dividual alluded to stood in the same situation as every
other Judge, and could not be removed but by an Address of both
Houses of Parliament.
Tire LORD CHANCELLOR said, he apprehended
that no step could be taken but for misconduct in his
judicial capacity, and then the proceeding must be by
address of both Houses of Parliament. As to the Com-
mission of the Peace, be would observe that it was a
most imperious duty on the ,Casio: Roidoritnt of the
county to recommend only fit and proper persons. Tha
usual course in cases of misconduct was, after the Ma.
tactrate had been convicted in the Court of King's
h a communication was made to the Lord Chan-
cellor, who did.what was his duty in striking such per-
son out of the Commission of the Peace. But he must
observe, that the person bolting the Great Seal should
in such cases act with Treat caution. In a pveeed-
ins he remembered against a Justice of the Peace,
for applying to his own use monies which he had
levied as fines, the proceeding was grounded on the
affidavit of four or five persons who were afterwards
tried and convicted of perjury on that affidavit. In the
present case, he had had no communication from any
Court of Justice whatever. He had indeed learnt from the
Newspapers, that Mr. Kenrick's application to the Cow t
of King's Bench, for a criminal information against a
Newspaper, had been refused, on the ground that he had
himself appealed to the Public by the publication of a
letter in the Stamford Newspaper. On such authority,
if even the statements were correct, be doubted whether
it would have been his duty to iuterftre.—The conver-
sation here dropped.
The Bills on their Lordships' table were forwarded one stage,
and the House adjourned.

CALL OF 1111 ROOS&
On a motion for leave of absence for a Member for a fortnight,
on urgent private business,
Sir J. NEWPORT rose to declare, that be would
divide the House against every motion of this kind
which was not accompanied with a medical certificate
of incapacity to attend. The importance of the question
to be taken into consideration on the night for which
he had moved for the Call of the House was such as to
render the absence of any Member, on any other ac-.
count, totally inexcusable. He was determined to,
enforce the talk and to oppose the grant of lease crabsesee IP any
ether eases than those attested by medical certificates of bamposky
attaid.
&Wed Modem of the Med were made notwithstanding, and
leave was obtained.
Mr. CUR WEN presented a Petition from Workington; fee an

vieted, and imprisoned under the Game Laws.
BRZACII OF PAMLICO'. •
Mr. Secretary PEEL called the attention of the
House to a Petition which he held in his hand, alleght
a gross injustice which bad been deneto the Petitioners,
and which comprised a no less gross breach of the pti-
vileges of the House. On the 17th of March last, the
Honourable Baronet, Member for Waterford, had Pia-
seated a Petition to e House, professing to be aped
by fourteen persons of the town of Balinasloe, in favour
of conceding to the Roman Catholics their claims. The
petition now presented was signed by thirteen out of

the fotirVesto slimes attached to the fbrnier Petition, and,
they compliinixi that a forgery had been comsOted,
by which sentiments had been attributed to them the
opposite of those witich they held towards the Itomand
Catholics, and the House had been, imposed upon stc..
cordingly. The question for the consideration of the
House would be, how to justify the wrong done to the
.general right of Petitioning, berth as it respected the
credibility of Petitions, and the readiness of Members
to present them ? and in the next place, how to vindi-
cate their privilege from -so gross an indignity. It
would be impossible to present Petitions if the reliance
of Members in the representations of Petiti .ners were
shaken ; and in a country so distant as Ireland, none but written
representations could generally be had. If the present Petition'
should be received, he would move for a Select Committee to in.

quire hue the circumstances.
Sir JOHN NEWPORT said, that he had presented

the Petition on the 17th of March, upon the same
gronnds of confidence which he had for nine-tenths of
.all the Petitions he ever presented—the written repre-
sentations of .those who professed to be the subscribing
parties, who accompanied their statement with much
circumstantial information. Undoubtedly he bad been deceived,
and the House had in consequence been misled ; and it was fit that
the abuse should be sought out and punished.
. Mr. Secretary PEEL said, that the Petitioners were
aware that the Honourable Baronet had been imposed
upon, and that be was not at all to blanie.—The Petition was brought
up and referred, together with that of ?Arch 17; to a Select Com-
mittee, to examine and report to the House.

LINIIN LAWS.
Sir H. PARNELL withdrew his notice of motion
upon this subject, in consequence of an understanding'
that Government were about to move for a Committee, before
whiob the inquiry could be more effectually conducted.
S 4 GEORGE HILL then moved for a Select Cons
mittee to enquire into the laws for the regulation of the
Linen Manufactures in Ireland, especially in regard to the impor-
tation of hemp and dressed 114 x. After a discussion, in which Mr.
MAIMILY' i
Mr. Home, Mr. ROBSITION and Mr. FITZGIIIALD said
a fewwords each. the Committee was appciiated.

PLURALITIES IN IRELAND.
Sir J. NEWPORT rose to submit the motion on this
subject, of which he had given notice. The facts he
should state to the House were not of questionable
authority, but were drawn from the Reports of the
Archbishops and Bishops of the Established Church
kin Ireland. First, wi h respect to Unions, the late
Primate said that they were the greatest defects of
the establishment, and that some of those of former
times were highly objectionable. lf, however, the
House would look to the returns made in 1807, and
since, it would find that Unions existed, opposed to
every principle which ought to regulate Church go-
vernment. So far as he could ascertain, there was no
statute which gave the power of making Episcopal'
Unions, nor except the See of Norwich, which ob-
tained a specific Act of Parliament for the purpose,
,were there any in England, where the force of public
opinion would be mere adequate to controul the
abuses of the system than in Ireland. The Honourable
Baronet went on to adduce instances in which the evil
of improper Episcopalian unions of parishes was con-
spicuous. Thus lie knew of a union of ten parishes,
forty miles in extent, six of the parishes being islands.
Hot this was not a solitary case—many of a similar
notate could be pointed out. Another point to which
he thought the legislative interference of Parliament
ghoul.; be directed, was' the system of pluralities, which
was productive of so much mischief in Ireland.
This was a branch of amendment which would be en-
f tossed by the 801 l be should prlpse to introduce._ •
Auch to the credit of the present Primate of Ireland, he
had expressed his decided disapprobation, and consider-
ably discountenanced the practice of granting faculties
for the holding of more than one parish by the same in-
dividual—(Hear,hear).—lle restricted this power within
a certain limitation determined by the value of the pa-
rish already held by the M nister. Feeling, however,
that the abolition of these faculties would diminish
considerably the income of the Judge of the Preroga-
tive Court, who derived large fees from this branch of
his functions, he resolved upon doing what he was sure
must command the admiration of the House, for he re-
solved to indemnify him to the full amount out of his
archiepiscopal revenues—(Hear). He calculated that
the loss to the Judge of the Prerogative Court would be
full £5OO a year, which sum he accordingly desired to
hold himself accountable for. The learned indivi-
dual alluded to, however, refused to become the pen-
sioner of the Primate, agreeably to the benevolent
and liberal proposal of that eminent individual.—
This :hewed how much better it would be to give sala-
ries in preference to fees to individuals similarly situated.
With regard to the other object of his Bill, the restsict-
in* Archbishops and Bishops from making improper
episcopalian unions, he thought it a strange anomaly
that these persons should be left unrestricted when the
Lord Lieutenant and Privy Council were placed under
restrictions. The Hon. Baronet then moved for leave
to bring in a Bill " To limit the power of holding a
plurality of benefices and to repeal the Statutes granting
power to the Archbishops and Bishops to make Epis-
copalian Unions, in Ireland."
Mr.GOULBURN said, his sentiments had always
been favourable to the support of the Church of Ireland
without limit. He desired to_ see it retain all its adtan-
cages, and to be Ilapported ,-ion all sides; but when
a case of abuse could be pointed out he was always
most anxious to see it corrected. He took no credit
to himself for these feelings, for they belonged in
common with him to the whole Church of Ireland.
These, however, being his views, the only question
between him and the Honourable Baronet was, whe-
ther his proposed measure was calculated to have a
salutary tendency ? The Members of the Irish Church,
he was persuaded, would entertain no hostility to it;
for they had been always forward to introduce amend-
ments. He entirely concurred in the commendation
bestowed upon the Primate, the circumstances of which
be certainly should have felt it his duty to mentiob,
I had the Hon. Baronet failed to do so. But in order to
judge of this Bill they must have it before them. As
it promised to be a Bill of amendment, be could have
no objection to its introduction. The Primate of Ire-
land nad already so regulated the matter of Pluralities,
that he had placed it upon the same footing as it was
in Englaid ; and thus a great part of the evil was
removed. He (Mr.Goulburn) entirely entered into the
feeling which had dictated the eulogium upon Dr. Rad-
cliff, the Judge-.of the Prerogative Court. No mar;
belonging to any bar, or in any judicial station, was
gadded to higher praise. He could not, however, con-
gest at pages to go along with the Honourable Baronet
in any interference with the Ecclesiastical Court of
bolted. His reason for this was that the Commissioners
of Inquiry into judiciary matters in Ireland had not
into that Court. He feared they would not
leteatne make a Repeat on the subject before the end
of this Session; and be thought it would be promisee
Ito legislate upon that part of the question before they

'had the opinions of the Commissioners to guide theta.
With respect td Dr. It the Government of Ireland
i
thought it better, n the sbeantirne, to make Op the
deficiency to him at the end of the year. With 'respect
to the Clergy, in dividing parishes, the Irish Govern.
ment did all they could to multiply the number of
respectable resident Clergymen, hejngiienpaded of tie
great advantage to be derived from that source.
6
Dr. LUSIIINGTON was glad toad the Right
Honourable Gentleman was disposed to concii with
the motion of the Right Honourable Baronet; and he
hoped his Honourable Friend would persevere till die
Church'of Ireland was placed on such a footing by
legislative enactments, u would render the abase of Noo.residettee
less dent.
M RANT said a few words is favour of the motion._

Mr. V. FITZGERALD saw no objection to the mn.
tion ; and as there was so little acrimony in the state-
ments of the night Honourable Baronet, he should abstain front
making any observations on them.
Air. S. RICE expressed his concurrence Is► the proposed men.
sure.—Leave was then granted to bring In the Bill.
• PARLIA M 'NTS ET DOCUMENTS.
Mr. S. RICE moved, pursuaut to notice, for a Select
Committee to inquire into the state and condition of the
printed Journals and Indexes of the House of Commons;
and also the Reports and other printed Papers, and report
upon the stme to the House. This was a motion pre-
cisely similar to one made by Lord Glenbervie in 1803 ;
since that period there had been a considerable number
of important papers presented to the House, and he
thought there could be no act more gratifying to the
House, or more useful as a means of general informa-
tion, than ne printing in a similar way all the valuable
'papers which a Committee might select from the gene-
ral mass.

--- -----
Mr. BANKES observed, it was not the printed
Journals of the House that the motion should be directed
against; but the Reports and other Papers.
After a few words from Sir Jour; NIWFORT, in support of the
motion, Mr. S. Rica adopted the amendment suggested by Mr.
Bankes, the motion was agreed to, and the Committee appointed.
Mr. S. RICE then moved, That it be an instruction to the said
Committee " To consider and arrange the, Reports in Volumes, to
make an estimate of the expense of doing so, and also to consider
of and provide a proper place for the sale custody of the printed
hooks and Papers of the House, to which the Members might
have easy access."
Mr. V. FITZGERALD supported the motion.
Mr. CHOKER adverted to the importance of having
the valuable papers in possession of Parliament prgs.,
petly digested and prepared for permanent preserva-
tion. He had early taken this view of the subject, and
the papers which had. already been brought to light by
a similar process, he deemed to be immensely valuable.
They tended to assist towards the compilation of a h;s-
tory of the country, such as perhaps no country ever
had. If they got from the appointment of this Com-
mittee a mere Index, it would be worth having. At
first he thought the Committee bad better apply themselves to
make a digest from the papers, from the time of the Union to the
present period. After that they might go back, and nothing, ke
was persuaded, would be more serviceable on the score of the
general history, the statistics, and the economy ado the country. As
one amongst a multitude of remarkable discoveries that bad been
made by the last search, he would meotion the discovery, that the
Members of that House used formerly to vote by proxy. He did
not mean to offer an opinion as to the propriety of reviving that
practice ; certainly, if they were at that moment to go to a division,
he feared they would want something like proxies to make up their
number.—The motion was then agreed to.

One of these Papers contains a project for a new and

similar to the Constitution of the United States. The
