be a necessary ingredient of relief. But the principal
mode of .relief was to be sought in extensive coloniza-
tion. He was not particularly attached to his plan,
though he thought, to be :Atte, tl.ar it was better than
Mt. Owen's plan for the relief of Ireland—( laugh ).
With regard, however, to the particular question before
the House, he thought the motion was unanswerable.—
Ile had heard no aound objection to it,. and even the
Hon. Gentleman who spoke from uoder the Gallery
opposed it only became he did not think this was the
prol•cr time for making, or his Hon. Friend the proper
person for making the motion. The Clergy of Ireland
were a negligent body, for a very good reason, because
they had wine around them who would receive their
religious tenets. They did no good to the people ; and
indeed rarely came in contact with them, except under
circumstances of hostility. Everything he had beard
convinced him that the motion for inquiry was unob-
jectionable.
Mr. LESLIE. FOSTER opposed the motion. It was
clearly a motion to confiscate the property of the Irish
Church, for the alleged advantage of the State. Ile
denied the facts upon which it was attempted to sustain
the motion. He denied the alleged insignificance of the
Prous:ant compared with. the Catholic population. In
the province of Laster, for instance, he had reason to
believe the Catholics and Protestants were pretty well
divided. Ile complained, too, of the taking particular
districts &Inch were unhappily in a state of disturbance,
and ireatkg them as fair specimens of the sr hole. Ile
must observe, also, that a considerable portion of what
was called the Church property, was held by the Laity.
He might almost take it in the proportion of one to
seven. The rental of Ireland was about ten millions,
and the tithes amounted to not more than one-seven-
teen:h of that sum. In the diocese of Clonfert the tithe
did not amount to above 6d. an acre ; and in no other
did it exceed 101. lle opposed the motion because
the proposed measure was unjust and impracticable. it
was unjust because it was in violation of the Act uf
Union, which guaranteed the Church Establishment of
Ireland; and impracticable, because it threatened to
affect the rights of the Laity much more than those of
the Church.

Mr. HUME replied. fle contended that he had in
general correctly stAted his facts ; arid that no reason had
been drawn from them to strew that his motion was
either unjust or unnecessary.
The house then divided, when there appeared—
For the motion, 79 I Against a, 1.5:2. i‘lajority, 73.
The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and at a
Quarter past Two o'Clock the [louse adjourned.
