The' Earl of KINGSTON rose more the second
reading of the 11;11. brought hi by him on the above
subject. His Lordship gave a brief description of
the measure, which teemed intended to do away cer.
tain grievances, resulting especially from the con-
struction put by the Ecclesiastical Courts it Ireland,
upon pan of the Act of the 27th of his Majesty,
which respected the Collection of Tithes.—The se.
cond reading being moved—
The LORD CHANCELLOR expressed his opi.
trios, that the practiser's of the Courts in question
must entertain very different widens of law from
those in England, it they construed the Act in ques.
tion in the way alluded to by the Noble Earl ; such
a construction, he thought, the Act of the 27th of
the King would norlegally bear. The mere circuit).
stance of the prescribed number of persons giving
notice to
!he Clergyman, on the same day, to take
his tithes, was not sufficient ; it must appeae, that
they combined for the purpose of pectentilig ham
from collecting his tithes at all.. In aelditiot to this,
his Lordship dceined the Bill as now framed, its
other respects objectionable, and also inadequate to
the professed object.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE thought the
subject to which the Bill referred strongly called, its
more points of view than cne, for Parliamentary ip.
terference. With respect to this particular esse,.

the House shavild have some regular Parliamentary
iniormation on the subject brought before them, or
shouldezarnine whether the practice cnmpinined of
in the Irish Ecclesiastical Courts really did esiit,
and if so, then to consider of the best legislative
remedy.
In the course of the discussion which followed,
The Archbishop of CASHEL adverted to the
difficulty the Irish Clergy in most instances laboured
under in use collection of their Tithes, and declared
his ignorance ot any grievance resulting from
.the
practice of the Ecclesiastical Courts.
Lord REDESDALE supported much ref what
had fallen from the Most Reverend Prelate. and
Urged upon the difficulties which the Irish Clergy
had to encounter, chiefly from the great extent of
many of the parishes, some of which were a consoli-
dation of several. He agreed with his Noble Friepd
on the Woolsack, as to his construction of the law,
The Marquis of BUCKINGHAM was strongly
impressed with. the necessity of inquiring into the
subject preparatory to any distinct enactment. In
this view he recommended the withdrawing thq prep.
sent Bill.

The Marquis of Dowwintras and Ole Earls of
ROSSLYN and ABSKDREN baying d.livered their mu,
timeats—
The Earl of KINGSTON observed, that a; it
seemed to be the general sense of their Lordships
that the Bill should be withdrawn, he certainly bad
no objection so to do; but it was his intention to
move tor a CommißUCttee to inquire.
The Marquis:of KINGHAM wisheitto lean;

tainly have their support.
The Bill was then withdrawn by the Noble Earl.

The Earl of ESSEX stated, that after what had
so lately occurred, tte did not imagine he *should
have to address their Lordships -again on a subject
nearly. isimilar: He had to complain that this day,
as he intended to proceed along Pall-Mall in his car. ,

cation on occasions of this sort, which seemed to ',enc.
oessary for the information of the Civil Power. He
was of opinion the military ought never to be called
QUt eridinut the civil power being duly apprised of it.
-}is though/ there was a defect ia the existing mode
of. cemmunicetion, although the military were not
ordered through the authority of the e .cretary .of
Stele. He repeated his opinion that the military
ought not sn be celled out without a communication
to the Seirerery of State. In the preeent instance,
'no such communication leid been niede. 'lr keret*
to, the Secretary of State would be tespontibleeif care
was not taken to provide an edequete supply of
peace officers. He trusted he had said enough to sa-
tisfy their Lordships of the propriety of seen an ar-
rangement, and with to reference to which, the im-
propriety of acquiescing in the :notion. He depre-
cated any thing like an appearance of injustice to
those who on ail. occasions (except those lately ad-
verted to 4n that House), had conducted themselves
in a way elettohould attach the goodwill and respect
of all clasrta of his Majesty's subjects, or tend to
lower the credit of those to whom the country owed
the greatest obligations.
The Earl of ESSEX meant -no disrespect to the
description of persons in question. His wish was
merely to know by whose orders. the military were
called out, so as to nbsteuct the free passage of his
Majesty's subjects in the public streets.
Earl FITZ WILLIAM spoke decisively in favour
of his Noble •Friend's motion; the queition to ithich
it referred was of the greatest public importance, in.
volvingeneleis than the alzernetire, whether the Gq.
vernment proceeded under a civil or tinder.a military ,
authority, as it aerie:fired that some ocher than the
civil authority had directed the calling out de" mile

he ihouelet, strongly she wed the necessity of adopting
the metiers. L. because incumbent on the Howse to

The Martens of BUCKINGHAM followed, and
warmly sueptarted what Lad fallen from the Noble
Earle' Every reed advanced by the Noble Seef.•
tary of State, she wed it te be the duty of the Hume
to acquiesce in the motion. After advestiag to the

the hate vention of the Civil Power; and even were.
peace officers in attendance, if they did tiot istrerfire
actively, they did no good, but rather the contrary.,
by inereing, in fact, the ::umbers of the mob.
The Earl of LAUDERDALE was of opinion,
that whet had fallen from his Noble Friend, the St-
cretery of State, rendered the measure, more item ever
necessary. He deprecated the recurrence to the rni-
bury on any occasion, except through the interven-
tion of the Civil power, and expressed his se.kse of the
assurance given by his Noble Friend on a futmer day,
t 6 be diffetent from what lie note stated.
Viscount SIDMOUTH, us the course of his ex-
planation, t e
olenied the practice of recurring to the mi-
litary tor' purposes of State or public coaseitience to
he a novel one, and observed, that with respect 10
what he had stated en the former occasion, his Noble
Friend had misconceived him.
The Earl of ESSEX believed• that there was no
instance during the reign of his present Majesty in
which the military were employee. upon the occasion
of an Address being presented by the Lord Mayor to
the Sovereign.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE: argued at some
length in support of the minion, and lamented that
it should appear the Maisie Secretary of State afraid
not bring the military uuder the authorite of the
Civil Pourer.
The Karl of H A RROW pY spoke strongly against
the motion, and argued that there was not the least
shadeev of reason to suppose that any •ietention ex-.

The Earl of LAUDERDALE explained.

an attack upon the prerogatives o. the Crown. The
. reasonings of the Noble S..cr'etary of State, or of the
President of his Majesty's Council, offered nothing
