Sir T. LETHBRIDGE thought the decision alluledl
to by the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, would diffuse
satisfaction throughout the whole Empire._ • The Han.,
Baronet proceeded to bear testimony to the patient and',
loyal conduct of the Wish Roman Catholics, and trusted,
notwithstanding the artifices of demagogues outside of
that House, that they would continue in the same laud-
able course, which was not -mote their interest than
their daty. He Inuit Md, that he believed the speech of the Hon.
and Learned Gentleman wag prepared for this occasion, and that
the Petition tinder consideration had been purposely kept back to
five an opportimity of expressing the sentiments the House had
just heard. He did not think it was goal taste to call in question
the decision of the House of Lords.
Mr. S. RICE assured the Honourable Baronet, the
Petition had not been kept back.. On the contrary, it
was only five or ten minutes before it was presented that
he hid requested the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, at
the instance of those *ho signed it, t• lay it before the House. The
Hon. Member, in conclusion, expressed his regret at the fate of the
Bill for relieving the Roman Catholics which had been sent up to
the other House of Parliament.

Sir ROBERT INGLIS rose to correct a mistate-
ment which had gone abroad, in reference to a part of
what he had said on a former occasion. In saying that
the English had no worship, recognised, tolerated, or
even licensed at Rome in his own time, and that the
Protestants had no burial-place, guarded or fenced in,
be stated the facts, but unlimited them to that time, not
having heard of any change. It had been reported that
his representation was general. He had since been in-
formed by a Right Hon. Friend, now in the House, that
in both respects a favourable change had taken place,
and.he was glad to seize the first opportunity of cor-
recting the error, though personally he had nothing to
retract, the facts being in 1821 as he had stated them.
In respect to the subject of the Petition which the Hon.
and Learned Qentleman held in his hand, he. had not
had ttie advantage of hearing all the speech which bad
been delivered on presenting it; but he understood that
it was from SOO Roman Catholic Inhabitants of a Pa-

praying that they might not be compelled to pay
a Church Rate for building a Church, there being but
one Protestant. Is not this a Petition against the exist-
- ing law ? Is it a grievance affecting these Petitioners
more than.others ? Do they not hold their lands, did they
not purchase them subject to the obligation 'of•certain
tithes, rates, and cesses ? And, as.was said yesterday, are
not lands more or less valuable in proportion to the less
or greater burdens wig& by law they bear ? In respect to the attack
made en a Noble Person, a Member of another House, he put it to
the candour of the Hon. and Learned Meinber, if such an appeal
would not be made in vain, whether it were consistent either with
good mete or with candour to attack, as he systematically attacks,
that Honourable and Learned Person in his absence?
Mr. lIROUG HAM thought, whitever sins of omis-
sion he triight hereafter have to charge
_himself with,
that of not having freely stated his opinion of another
place, in the presence of its Members, would not be
f and et his door. He had never said half so much of

them here as he had there to their faces, and they never
once complained of him- The only'reason why he attacked the
Lord Chamellor now in his absence was, that the Noble Lord had
oat a seat in that House, and that it was his (Mr. Brougham's)
duty to give his opinion of a Minister of the Crown.

Mr. Secretary PEEL could hardly regret. his ab-
pfoce during the early part of the present discussion, as
be .!could be extletnely sorry to be provoked to say any
t:thig harsh ou the subject alluded-to—and wished to
abstain from employing expressions which mi,,ht add
to the disappointment I kely to he produced by the vote
of the other House of Parliament. It w•as therefore impossible fur
hint to vindicate One of his Noble Colleagues, for whatever might
have been said respecting him. Had he heard it he should have
thought it his duty to do so.
• Ur. BIIOU GHA SI explained. He had only praised the Lord
Chancellor for Living appointed Mr. Plunket to his present office.

The residua was iht-n- laid on the table, ordered to be printed.

Sir J. NEWPORT supported the prayer of the Petition. He
thought it a very hard thing that the Catholics of Ireland should be
se'bjected to those Parish Regulations which did not prevail ha any
othercoudition of his Majesty's subjects.
The Petition was then read, and ordered to be printed.
. Mr. BItOUGH ANI said, that in consequence of the
absence of many Honourable Memb?rs who wished to
take a part in the discussion, he should postpone his
motion relative to the Judges. He wished that there
should be one discuulon upon this subject and the Judges' Salaries
dill, and did not care upon what stage that might be. There was
on intention of moving an amendment, that the Puisne Judges who
received the additional ,C 2,000 a year, should not be el:gible to the
Chief Justiceships.—The Bill was they postponed to Friday next.
Mr. Secretary PEEL said, that the Juries Bill stood for Friday,
but he was happy to understand that there was no intention to
oppose that MIL
Mr. DENMAN expressed his entire approbation of this Bill.
The sooner it came into operation the better.
Mr. DAWSON presented Copies of the Correspondence be-
tween the Secretary of State for the Home Department and the
Lord Lieutenant of the West Riding of Yorkshire.

fidr. & RICE asked when the Report
i of the Commissioners
appoinieci to inquire into the State of • ueation in Ireland would
be laid upon the table ?
Mr. DAWSON said, it was nothing but the illness of Mr. Blake
which delayed the presentation of the Report. He had no doubt
it _would be on the table of the House in eight or ten days.
,Mr. DAWSON presented a Petition from certain Merchants
of, Londonderry, in favour of the Joint Stock Companies'
liilL—
Ordered to be printed.
Mr. HUME moved for Copies of several Proclamations of the
Governor of Ceylon, and his Correspondence with his Nlajesty:s
Government at home, relative to the arrest of John Daniel Bos-
sier. The Hon. Member complained of this arrest as arbitrary
and oppressive.
Mr. WILMOT-HOItTON slid,' he did not me into
oppose the production of the papers moved for ; but It
was qu'te competent in him to justify the proceraing
of the Governor of Ceylon a, to the equity of the course
took with respect to Ranier. That individual was a deserter,
and under the East India Mutiny Act he was entitled to arrest him.
He, however, was not informed of this by his Law Officers, and
adopted another course which led to the same end. It was, be
apprehended, clear that the Governor on this occasion had been
guilty of i:o illegal violation of personal liberty.
Mr. TRA NT supported the motion.—Mutton agreed to.
The Irish Church Macs Ijill was read a second time.
The other Orders of the Day were read, andthellouse adjourned.
