• The. Bishop of CHESTER held a similar Petition
from the Clergy of Manchester. It consisted of -
individuals, 41 of whom had sitped the Petition, 11
other being prevented horn doing it solely-by-err:co
dental absence.• He was glad to find that the Petitions
, of the Clergy had at last found their level, and that that
wereconsidered entitled tolheattentionoftheLeilslaturu;
- for 'though some Noble Peers thought their advice not
worth taking, yet their opinions bad a right to be heard.
'With respect to liberty and Over, be admitted that
. some confusion existed; ax it had done between punish.
- rnent and
.restraint, some writers contending that re.
straint was punishment. The Noble Lerd, however,
had ruined his own argument by stating that he was
lint prepared to say that cases might arise' in which civil
" and religious liberty might be curtailed. When a body
. of men possessed the foil liberty of enjoting their pro..
perAy and their religion, it did not follow that they should be ad-
mitted to rule their brethren. Not that he vrxa afraid this would
take place immediately; the Legislature would betoo watchful and
active, even after the emancipation ot the Catholics, to allow any
sudden attempt of the kind to succeed, but in process of time the
thing be awed.
ord HOLLAND explAined.—He was unwilling to
enter into LogostacAia, though the Right Rev. Prelate
seemed partial to a Skiastachia. for he was fighting sha-
dows. He had said, that there was no reason why the
Catholics should rule their brethren; but the teal ques.
• titan was, whether the Catholics should net have a share
in ruling themselves? a privilege which was enjoyed under all free
Governments and Constitutions.
The Petition having been read and laid on the table, '
The Bishop ot CHESTER contended, that those
who bad a share in electing those who ruled them, had
a share in ruling themselves. He then presented a
Petition from the Clergy, Magistrates, and Inhabitants
• of the town of Bolton-le-Monts, in the County of Lan-
caster, signed by 8,000 individuals against the Catholic
Claims. It contained several passages, which he would
not have advised to insert if he had been consulted; but
their Lordships were not to imagine that the Petitioners intended to
aillx a stigma on the great body of the Catholics, which intended to
apply to the Catholic Clergy alone.—Read and laid en the table.
Lord KENYON presented a similes* Petition from the Parish of
Eleckington, in the County of Salop.—Laid eo the table.
The Bishop of 0 LOUCESTER presented Petitions to the same
erect from the Rural Deans, and the Clergy of the Deaneries of
Stonchouse,Hawkesbury, and Dursley, in the Diocese of Gloucester.
Lord KING asked what the King of Prussia would
say if his Lutheran Clergy were perpetually advising
him not to admit Catholics into his Councils ? Would.
he not tell them to mind their own concerns? He
could not afford to be intolerant ; neither could England
nor any &ate. Ile hoped Parliainent would net be misled by the
bad advice constantly give*.
The Bishop of GLOUCESTER maintained that the
Clergy did not con e f and as advisers, but stated.and
;In
ere
should cantina to sue, opinions, boldly and manfully,
spite of all the observations that made.
The Petition was read and laid on the table.

Pawnbroker' of the Cities of London and Westminster, sad the
Borough of Southwark, against the Equitable Loan IL The

peruke was an illegal Association, but that the proposal had been

Read and laid on the table.
