PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINris.

HOUSE OF WADS, APRIL 15.

This morning LORD DEPUTY sat for the furtherance of Appeals.
In the case of " Fraser tr. Wilson," from the Court ?f Session, in
Scotland, his Lorthhip moved that the interlocutor: should he
affirmed with lOC/. costs.—Order, cl.

" Hay and others v. Le Neve and others." was proceeded with,
when Dr. LUSHINCTON was heard in conclusion for the appellants,
and Dr. JENNIeIt for the respondent:, and tae further hearing was
appointed for.atter the recess.
" Williams v. Jenks" was next called, on a Writ of Error from
the Court of King's Bench, hut no Counsel appeared for the plain-
tiff in mot. Upon the motion of the Counsel for the defendant in
error, their Lordships confirmed the judgment of the Courts below,
with 1201. costs.

At a quarter to four o'clock the Earl of Suarrtsaurtv, the LORD
CHANCELLOR, and Viscount MELVII LE, sat robed as Lords Commis-
sioners for notifying and delaring his Majesty's Assent to divers
Bills, agreed upon by both Houses cf Parliament, when the Yeo-
man Usher of the Black Rod was directed to require the attend.
ance of the Commons in this House to hear the Royal Commission.
Shortly after dlr. Srsawsra, accompanied by live Members, ap-
peared at the bar, when the Royal Arsent was notified and declared
with the usual forms to the Bills undermentioned:
The Irish Catholic and Protestant Burials Bill, the Barrack De.
partment Property Bill, the Dublin Oil GAS Company Bill, the
Ayr Jail Bill, the Kelso Ale and Beer Bill, the Maidenhead Chapel
the Leith Trinity House Bill, the South Lynn Poor Bill, and
several Road Bills.

Adjourned at four o'clock during pleasure : and at twenty n.i.iutes
to five o'clock the House resumed.

Upon the motion of the Earl of SHAFTPSIWAY the Assay Bill and
the Innkeepers' Allowances Bill were respectively teed a second
time, and ordered to be committed for the Stith instant.
The Ireland Records Bill went through a Committee of the
House, and was reported without ally amendments.
The Bishop of LIMERICK rose just as their Lordships were
on the point of adjourning, and observed that he had received a
letter from the Archbishop of Dublin (Dr. Magee), who wished
him to inform the House of its contents, as this not li,die; his
Grace's year fur Parliamentary atterdence, lie (Dr. Magee) could
not have an opportunity of vindicating his conduct in that House.
—So long as there unfounded charges had beta confined to pam-
phlets, newspapers, and handbills, no notice had been taken of them;
but as the subject had been brought betore Parliament In the sleepe
of a Petition from certain individuals, in which the conduct of his
Grace the Archbishop of Dublin, in relation to burials, bed been
most unjustly complained of, it was in consequence of these misre-
presentations that his Grace the Archbishop of Dublin had re-
quested him (the Bishop of Limerick) to lay the contents of the let-
ter, which he had in his hand, before the llouse.—(The Pattie
Rev. Prelate here read the letter from Dr. Magee, in which his
Grace stated thet the charges made against him were utterly with-
out found:aim:o-11e Bishop of Limerick proceeded to comment
on the letter, and the chdracter which the Archbishop of Dub-
lin preserved both in public and private life. Ile had himself seen
in the streets of Dublin the most libellous placards posted isa dif-
ferent parts of that city, and bad had handbills and pamphlets thrust
into Isis hands in the course of his walks, and even at the very gate
of the University, which contained the most gross falsehoods; one
pamphlet All particular, which pretended to give a life of his Grace,
was a most vile and libellous publication. It was known to every
one that lead the pleasure of being acquainted with his Grace, that
front his earliest years his conduct in private life had kept pace with
his superior professional abilities: as a son, he had shtwo the ten-
derest attachment to his parents; as a brother, he was the kindest
of friends; and as a friend himself, his attachnicet was uraltatege-
able. As a controversial writer, one of the profoundt4t of the age,
his Grace was entirely free from that odium theologieura which had
been so invidiously charged on ecclesiastical Wiitets in general ; for
in all controversies he %sees an open and a genet ous adversary. here
the Right Rev. Prelate, in reference to the Bill (Irish Burials) re-
cently passed, mentioned cases where Protestant Clergymen had
attended the funerals of Catholic Prielts, and others in which the
human Catholic had in like miumer gone to the funerals of Protest-
ant Ministers. lit one instance, which meowed in the City of Li-
merick, the greater part of the ships were closed in consequence of
the funeral ot- a Proteeeent Cleigyman ; and he was happy to say
that the people a:lreland its general were not so unfriendly, to the
Established Chtlizh as sonic persons had represented. The recent
Bill would leave'thern in the same friendly state ; and as for himself,
though liurable the station he filled, he should feel most happy to
cultivate the good will of butt lieLgion4 by all commendable meats
in his power.
The Earl of SHAFTESBURY now moved their Lortishills to
adjourn to WedneAlay, the 2.Bth of App; and the }louse iu crane-
quence then adjourned to that day-
muss OF COMMONS.

Several Petitions Werepreseated against the Oil Gas Bill.
Mr. GRE.NrELL, in that. re:cain names might he added
to the Committee on the St. Katharine's Dock iii 1, Bain that he
took that opportunity to correct certain tr.i)represte.tatiotts
anti cx-
aggerations which had taken place both in and out of doors relative
to that subject. In the first place, it had been stated that the num-
b" whose properties would be affected by tilt: Bill, aniouuted to-
-10,000. It had been, howeier„ alcertaine,i,f.-0:;..t an actual ..urvey,
that the number of inhabitants in the /wishes lattnedutely adjacen.,
to the proposed docks did nut amount altogether to 4,74G0 persons.
The second eaaggv. ration of which he had to cc.ititl tin rcialcd to tli:

number of houses which it was alleged were to bes , . u n, arnl
amounted, according to those who oppe:cd the Mb, to upwards 'of
1,300. The fact, however, was, that the total number ut houses
in these parishes did not exced 814. This was a fact which he wtas
particularly deirous t s impress upon those persons who were inte-
rested the London Dock ; for it well known, that' in order
to make room for the construction of those cloths in the /ear 1,793,
not less than 1,400 houses were rolled clown—(llear). Thus the
proportion between the injury tl,•:se on the present aiid trine: oc-
casion, was as 834 to 1,400. The third a!lt ga ion to which he 11,1
to reply, was respecting the fulness of accommodation which it W:i
said prevailed at present, end which it was *Sized rendett.sti the coo-
struction of the prok!cteti docks unnecessary. To this assertion he
had only to oppose the Petition presented to that Muse, signed by
1,800 of the most respectable Merchants of London, stating the di-
rect contrary ; and addiv, that even if there were room its the Lon-
don and West India Docks, the high charges of their respective Com-
panies for warehousing, would prevetst them from deriving any ad-
vantage from it. The last.objection to which he had to reply, was
that detived from the non.ccmpliance with the Standing Orders, In
consequence of which it was said that the inhabitants of the neigh-
bourhood of the New Docks unsold be much inconvenienced. Thts
he confessed was the only objection to wisith he felt inclined to at-
tach any weight; but he considered that the inconvenience.cons-
plaint:a- of fro:n want of due notice would be amply remedied by
the clause introduced into the 11111, and Which put tho-e who op-
posed it upon a better footing than if the regular notice had been
given. The Honourable 3lenther concluded by ruoving—" That
certain nzmes be added to the. Committee."—Agreed to.

air. S. RICE said that he held in his hand a Petition, to which,
front its importance, he was induced to call the attention of the
Douse. It was from the Roman Catholic Inhabitants of Drog-
heda, and was signed by several intliviwils of the highest reseect-
ability, who were personally known to him. The Petitioners
commenced by stating, that they felt extreme gratitude to Parlia-
ment for the favours which had hitherto been conferred upon their
body, but lamented that many of those relaxations of the Penal
Code which the law bad sanctioned remained indeed upon the Sta-
tute Books, but were intercepted in their !stoves; rewards those
for whose benefit they were intended. lie would instance a
kw of the causes of complaint set forth in the Petitiart. It was,
in the first place, well known to the. house, that in the year 1793
Catholics were, by Act of -11/4.iliament, rendered elia,Bele to wee
upon Grand Juries. It was, however, a fact, that since the enact-
MCTIt of that law, a period of more than thirty years, nut a
Catholic had been summoned to serve upon the rand Jury of
Drogheda—(Hear, hear)—although is that county the proportion
of Catholics to Protestauts was nine to one, and that of their rela-
tive property as two to three. While re:pectable Catholics were
thus excluded, it was equally notorious that individuals not poneis-
ing a single acre of land in that county were admitted ti flat ho-
nour. Another complaint of the petitioners was, that altbeugh the
freedom ei Corporations had been thrown, open to Catholics by the
same Act 'of 1793, nor more than six Catholics had for that long
period been admitted to toe ireetlom of the Corporation of Drag-
hada—(Hear).—ltecently a most respectabla Ilarcnet, a matt of
high family and large property in that cnut.ty, Sir Thos. &monde,
was a candidate for the freedom of the Corpc.r3tion, and was ex-
cluded in consequence of being a Catholic, svh;le an individual much
inferior to him in rank and fortune was elected. Under these dr-
cumstances he thought the prayer of the Petition was entitled to
every consideration.

NEwroar and Mr. Hume supported the prayer of the Pe-
tition, which was ordered to be printed.

Mr. COLIRTEICAY broughi up the Report of the County
JAN Bill, which was ordered to be takes into further consideration
on the3d of May.

Mr. HUME 'presented a Petition from the Journeymen Calico
Printers of Lancaster, against the Combination Laws.
Sir T. LETHBRIDGE presented a Petition from Wiltshire,
against the repeal of the Duty on Foreign Wool.—OrdLred to lie
on the table.

?ir. BUTTERWORTH presented a Petition from Doncaster,
in f:.vo•:rof 1:e Bill for preVenting Cruelty to Animals.—Ordered
to lit, on the table.

Mr. IIUTTER.WORTH said that he had another Petition to
present, :o which he was induced to call the :mention of the House.
It was feom certain respectable Fishmongers hf London, who com-
plained of the practice of selling fish on Sundays—a practice frOnt
which they themselves refrained from conscientious scruples. ft
hod been alleged that tuackarel must be sold on Sundays, becanse
they would not keep longer thon twenty-four hours; but he (Mr.
Butterworth) could not admit this, as mackerel kept as:well,in his
opinion, as any other fish—(A laugh).—The Honourable Member
thought the Petition worthy of the attention of the House. •
Sir M. W. RIDLEY said, he had no efiljection to hear :he Peti-
tion trod, although from what the Honourable Member had quoted
he could nut well conceive a Petition couched in terms more ritli-
culoteely absurd—(ilear, and a lauoh). There was however one
simple way of relieving those conscientious fishmongers from the
obligation of sehi.ig fish on Sundays, which was by printing their
names at the end of the Petition. In that case Le was sure no Gen-
tleman would interfere with their scruples, but buy his fish front _
those who were wi l.ng to sell it.
Str T. BAILING and itir. Evora supported the Petition, which was
ordered to be printad.
Mr. S. cretary CANNING moved that the Moose at its rising
ahou:d adjourn to the lid of May. The Right Honourable Gentle-
titan observed, that the reason fur extending the period of adjourn-
ment on the ptes.ht °CC:A.III that if tine cu: rse wire
• punmed, the House woold meet on a Wednesday, when, -ectifiloo:
to the rule laid do ts n, no lon;iness was transacted. Then there were.
