ROMAN CATHOLICS.

The Earl of SUFFOLK called 7.0 their Lortlfhips'
recollection the notice he had giver. 'aft Seflions of
an intended motion on his part, rally in the prefcnt
relative to the fubjelt of the Roman Catholics of
Ireland. His fentiments on this laver:ant fobjea
remained the fame: but their Lordthips well knew,
that in the interval, a change of circumftances had
taken place, which naturally (hould have force in-
fluence on his mind, as to the ccurfe of pruceediog
he fhould take. He alluded otincipally to the aced.-
fion to power of a tlit:Hier, who, ro a c-rtain de-
gree, flood pledged with refp.e6t to the Iri(h Catho-
lics. This change, with reftlence to the tin:afore
alluded to, would, he hoped, operate favourably f.:r
this country, for Europe, and motr efrcially for
Ireland. As the thing flood at prel.ent, he whited,
as far as was practicable, to afeertaia the intentions
of Government on that important point, before he
(hould proceed farther, or to fee what flops the Exe-
cutive Government fhould taLc in the Winch.—
Another conlideration with him would he the :atilt
of the deliberations on the rot of the RolOari Ca-
tholics in Ireland, and. (hould there be no petition
from that llt,dy, it was his intention to bi in;.; forward
a motion on the fobjeEt. His Lor,:fhip main ad-
verted to what he feemed to confider as the pledge
given by his Ma;efly's prefot raft Miti:tter, to the
Roman Catholics, and Wittr.ut \Wel!, he t.'aftrved,
perliap), that Minifter's layout ite of an union
could not be effectuated. •

MILITARY LFTIF.I

The Earl of DARNLEY fiat;:i his intention to
move for an Account of the NomOcr of Ken railed
'under the provifions of the Al of 1.01 Setlion, called
the Additional Force Ad. He deemed it important
that Inch information fhould hr given, and requelted
to learn from the Noble Secretary, whether be had
any objedion to the production of fuch an Account,
as fuch anfwer would determine him as to the time
he fhould bring forward hi, motion.
Lord HAWKESBURY replied, that as he had
no objedion to the production of the account re
quired, it muff be a matter of indifference to him
when the motion was made. The Noble Earl could
draw it up and prop* it immediately, if he thought
proper.

MR. JUSTICE FOX.
The Marquis of ABERCORN formally prefented
a tranfcript of the Petition pi efe:sted laa Sefilia from
Mr. Hart, of the County of Londond.trry, in Ire-
land, complaining of certain pats vi the judicial
conduit of Mr. Justice Fox.

Alio a PetiLion from certain jurors and others of
the county Qf Fermanagh, in IreFr.d.
And a Petition from the then 1-lif.ll Kerif: of the
county of Fermanagh—theie was iu I:Cu:lance timi-
lar to thofe prefented by his Lyrdihip hit Scilien,
and were ordered to lie on the tal,ie.

The Noble Marquis then prefented his Articles of
Charge againit Mr. Juftice Fox, founded principally
on the allegations of the Petitions hef are ;heir Lord-
flips. Refpating there, his Loran)) mficly uhferv.
ed. that the Third Article of the chargz contained
matter in addition to that comprifed :ti the articles of
complaint which he prefented lalt SAinn. The mat.
ter contained therein was adverted to by him in his
fpcech at the time, though he had not then !I'M-
ciently methodifed it for regular introdution, and
two of the Articles in the former caitibition were not
included in this, for reafons afligncd. His Lordfhip
concluded by moving that the Houfe do refolve itfelf
into a Committee on Thurfday nest, to confider of
the propel mode of proceeding with reined to the
Petitions and Papers now prefehtek.:. After putting
the queftion,
The LORD CHANCELLOR quitted the wool-
fack, and obferved; that 4/11 fuch an occafion as the
prefent it was important their Lordthips fbould
know what it was they fhould have to take into con-
federation on Thurfday next ; it was merely, as ex-
preffed by the Noble Marquis's motion, to confider
of the belt mode of proceeding v;:th refped to the
petitions and papers jult laid upon the table, in re-
ference to part of the condo& of nue of his Majelty's
Judges in Ireland. The cafe, fortunately for the
countries. was a novel one ; hence the Ad took place,
the provifions of which they were to keep in contem.
plation, while confidering the very important fubjal
before them. He alluded to the at fur fecuring the
independence of the Judges, and which authorifed
the removal of any of them, in confetiuen.e of an
Addrefs from Parliament. He was glad that the
Noble Marquis had changed the title of Cle articles
exhibited by him againft the learned Judge in. qucf
tion. Lift Sellion they were ltyle.d " Articles of
Complaint." As it was queftionable with him, whe.
titer fuch, proffered by an individual Peer, was fuffr•
cient ground for that Houfc's proceeding in the way
adverted to on former. occalions ; as the cafe now
flood, their Lordfhips would have to confider whe-
ther any further proceedings °mold be adopted in
confequenee of what appeared before them ; and if
fo, what line of proceeding Inch Ihnuld be? The Ar-
ticles, as the cafe then preciiCly flood, were, he
thought, to be regarded as certain averments in the
Speeches of the Noble Marquis, embodied and thrown
into form. At prefent, the confideration of the cafe
was not at all entered into : whether that notice
thould be tranfmitted to the party 4ccufed, or, with
reference to the final refult of dial part of their Lord-
fhips' proceedings, the concurrence in an addrefs to
the Throne upon the fubjed, he hed it proper, that
their Lordfhips fhoUld be fully aware of the nature
of the ftep then taken, and what properly fhould be
the fubjed of their deliberations in the Committee on
Thurfday next.
The queftion was then put and carried, as was a
Motion for funimoning their Lordfhips tor :Out Way
