ROMAN CATHOLICS OF OALWAT.
Mr. SPRING RICE noosed fur leave to bring in a Bill to repeal
so moth of the 4 Geo. I. as limited the franchise of the town of Galway
to Protestants.

Mr. NORTH said he should feel it his duty to oppose the Bill in
every stage. It was not different from that brought in by the Hon.
Oentleman last Session. Any measure foe repealing
_any peculiar privi-
leges to the Protestants, as such, should receive bb cordial suppose.
Such, however, would not be the effect of the measure of the Hon.
Member, but it would go to the destruction of the charters of many cor-
porate towns in Ireland. He should at a proper time move for the pro.
duction of, copies of those charters, and he trusted the House would
pause before it indecently cancelled charters granted by the Kings of
England.

remedying special grievances. He therefore must contradict, although
with respect, the assertions of his bon. friend. The Bill had !sten
called for and approved of by the great majority of the people of

Mr. NORTH explained.
Leave was given to bring in the Bill.
