HOUSE OF LORDS, JUNE 15.

Some proceedings were had in the Barnwell and Airly Peer-
ages.—Further proceedings in the latter on Thursday.

IRISH CATHOLICS.

The Duke orNORFOLKmoved the committal
of his Irish Catholic Bill.—ln the Committee, _ _

Lord LIVERPOOL approved of the object of the
Bill, which he understood to be merely to carry into
effect the Irish Act of 1793. The Legislature then,
no doubt, intended that a Catholic receiving his first
Commission in Ireland, and then coming to England,
might there rise to the extent permitted in Ireland,
without being liable to the penalties of the English
Statutes. It was therefore, he agreed, very proper
to do every thing that might be necessary to give
full effect to that intention. With the same view of
giving effect to the Act of 1793, he had two amend-
ments to propose, to which there could be no objec-
tion ; and he accordingly moved one of the amend-
ments.

The Duke of NORFOLK was happy that this
Bill, taken up by himself individually, had received
the sanction of those who administered the Govern-
ment. The amendments went merely to the more
complete effecting of the purpose in view, and he
had no objection to them.
Lord HOLLAND said, as far as this Amend-
ment, together with the Bill itself, went to relieve a
certain portion of the subjects of this country from
the operation of statu:es which ought not to exist, it
had his approbation, because he would willingly sup-
port any thing that made even the smallest in-road
into the code of persecution and intolerance; but, at
the same time, he called upon their Lordships to con-
sider in what situation they would place the English
Catholics, the Irish Presbyterians, and almost the
whole people of Scotland, by this amended Bill, if it
should pass. The Irish Catholic wotrid have privi-
leges in this country which were denied to English
Catholics. If, indeed, an English Catholic crossed
St. George's Channel, and took the first commission
in Ireland, then he might rise in the army, through
the limited steps ; but it he had the misfortune to be
first employed in England, this privilege was re-
fused. English Catholics were, therefore, to be liable
to pains and penalties, from which other Catholics in
England were to be exempt, because they had the good
fortune to be burn, or to begin their career, on the other
side of St. George's Channel—a good reason fOr the
distinction, no doubt, in the logic of intolerance: but
what would be the condition of the Irish Pres!qterians ?
The Teat Act, as he might call it for the sake of bre-
vity, subjected them to penalties from which the Irish
Catholics would be exempt: yet, in Ireland, a Pres-
byterian enjoyed more privileges than a Roman Ca-
tholic ; and by what logic was it, that an Iridt Pres-
byterian coming to England was to be placed on a
worse footing than an Irish Catholic ? The Noble
Lord ought, tpon the principle of his own amend-
ment, to go a great deal farther, and to extend the
privileges, now to be given to the Irish Catholics, to
the Irish Presbyterians. The Irish Catholics would
likewise have greater privileges in England than any
of almost the whole Scottish nation ; and what was
the object of the law by which the Presbyterians were
thus excluded ? It was to guard against the dangers
of Popish recusancy ; so that Roman Catholics would
have greater advantages than Presbyterians, under
the operation of a law against Popish recusancy.—
Such, again, was the logic of Intolerance! He would
support the Amendment, however, sych as it was,
on the principle he had before stated ; and also be-
cause it went to make the code of persecution, already
absurd and ridiculous, ten times more absurd and
ridiculous than it was before. The principle f)f the
Noble Lord's Amendment was monstrous; but he
would vote for it, because it would lead the sooner to
an examination of the whole code of persecution and
intolerance ; and, upon investigation, the whole mass
and fah' is of that code would tumble to pieces at
once.

Lcrd LIVERPOOL reminded the Noble Baron,
that the specific object of this Bill was to carry into
effect the intention of the Legislature, manifested by
an Act already in existence. It had nothing to do
with alterations in other respects.
Lortj HOLLAND still contended, that his argu-
ments applied strictly to the subject of the Bill and
amendment.

The ?Mice of NORFOLK agreed perfectly with
his Noble Friend (Holland,) in the principles which
he had stated i but these ought to be reserved for
