CLERGY OF IRELAND.

Mr. CORRY moved the Order of the Day for the
Mule to rafolve into Committee, to confider the ex-
pediency of enabling the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland
to advance out of the public Treafury to the Board
of Firlt Fruit,; to be by them advanced in Loans to
Clergy men having fmall benefices, and no Glebe
Houles, to ere& Glebe Hodes for their refidence.

- -
The Houfe refolved accordingly. Mr. Cotter
then entered into a chronological detail of the Infli-
tution of the Board of Fiat Fruits in Ireland, from
the time of its inltitut'ion in the reign of Qteen Anne,
to the prefent time ;—in the cootie a-which, he
Rated, that its principal revenues were derived from
charges upon the annual income of Church Livings
beyond a certain amount, to be appropriated for the
building and repair of Churches, a pm-pole to which
their revenues were not adequate to the extent which
was moil definable ; but towards this purpofe they
were in the habit of receiving annually front the Irifh
Parliament a confiderable donation. He then went
into a fummary Ratement of their accounts, by the
!aft of which it appeared, they had a balance in hand
of above 37,00c1. The purpofe for which this Bill
was introduced, was nearly to the full as &Arable as
that of the building and repair of Churches, and one
which mat contribute in an effcftual way to procure
that which was jullly held to be fo very defirable,
namely, the Refidence of the Clergy. He moved,
that the Chairman be ;nitrated to move for a furn
not exceeding go,cool. for that purpofe.
Mr. FRANCIS wiihed to know if the fums to be
advancsd in this way would not be Co advanced under
tome competent furety, that they would be expended
kw filer for the purpofes to which they were fo
granted ? He obferved, that by the account Rated
by the Honourable Gentleman, there was already a
very large balance in the hands of the Board of
Fit a Fruits, remaining from year to year unappro-
priated, and which, had it been placed in the public
funds, would have conliderably accumulated for the
benefit of the objetfs of the inßitution. It was his
win' that every reafnnahle means fhould be afforded
for maintaining the relpeaability of the Church of
Ireland, and the comforts or. its Clergy ; becatire he
was Pure fah provifion mita materially contribute
to the maintenance of morality in that country.—
But there was another point connefted with this
topic, which he defired to touch on only with the
greateit delicacy. He himfelf did not pretend to
know the local circumitances of Ireland, or the
caufes of that rebellions fpirit which was now agai.:
breaking out in that kingdom. He tinderitood, th.:ll
the candid n;tininns if thole who knew the local cir-
cumllances of that country infinitely bettter than he
did, and who he was convinced had the unity, the
protti.erity, and the happinefs of the tritifit Enni.irs
at heart, that the great grievance complained of by
the great majority of the population of Ireland, who
v-e:e Roman wa. the exaction tithrs for
the maintenance ef the ...logy of the church of Eng-
land, at the fame time that they were tithed in ano-
ther way for the maintenance of their own Clergy ;
and thus y:ere they doubly laddled Yid' an heavy im-
rat. Ile did no t pretend to point out what 5e0..,..1
be the moil proper mod.t of remedying this et il, and
o ,icting the n lads of great mats of lan pe-
p ; but he fincerely ssiihed fume meth:
co old be di riled kr doing away this obnr im.
p,ll upon th-t Catholics of tit .t country, and than
eiovia;ing that which had io lolly, and fn unitnrmly
preyed a foto it: -1 diloaltint a''.l itrot nion. lithos
could he done, an Iheby no mear walled it to he
done in any way inj.n ious to the ettablifhed Clertry,
he was convino ed it would do more towards quieting
the minds of the lower wale! in that count: v, than
any nott?r means which legifloi, n nr e.oct.:i, n
OEII ; and he trollied, that eycn late as is sea, in C...
n hot !`4 't Miloollers would milli tite ft,rnt
Pa.ii..in• y the autojet:t witlia

Sir. T. Mire.tm rote to ilk Come quetliona about
the arrears in the hands of the Board of Firft Fruits,
and why they were not appropriated t
Mr. Coaav anfwercd, he WAS not prepared to date
minutely the reafons why they differed their money
to be leofe in the hands of a Banker. All he could
now fay was, that they were obliged annually to
Rate their accounts to the Commiffioners ;—and as
they were in the habit alfo of annually receiving a
confiderable donation from the hint Parliament, he
mutt prefume their accounts were fatisfaetory.
Mr. HUTCIiiNSON laid, no man more fincerely
witted than he did. to maintain the redicaability of
the Protctlant Church of Ireland, and the comforts of
i• 11 Patiors; but he mod cordially concurred with the
Hon. Member near him (Mr. Francis) in the urgent
and important ncceility of going into fri>me invelli
gatiun upon the lithjeft of Ireland, previoufly to the
approaching Prorogatiiin, and endeavour to come at
the true cattle cf the unhappy dillurbances, and if
if poaible, fame lenient remedy. He
had all eady three or four times in the caurfe of this
St ffion endeavoured to call the attention of the
Holite, and of his Alajelly's Minillcrs in particular,
to the fubjea of Ireland. He had endeavoured to
imprefs upon them the importance, at all times, but
more efpecially at the precrot, of attaching to this
Country and its Government, the confidence and ad
feElions of that people. He had endeavoured to im.
prefs upon them, that there they would rind a tower
of firength, with the aid of which they might defy
the enmity of the world. He would now put it again
to his hlajetly's Minillcrs; and if he could not obtain
from then, a promife that they would, before the pro-
rogation, bring forward for enquiry the fuhjeet of
I ilt) affairs, with a ►iew to force remedy, he pledged
himfclf that he would at an early day bring forward
the fubjea, feeble as his efforts migkt he.—[Mr.
Hutchinfon was proceeding, but was called to order
three fucceaive times by Mr. Alexander, who laid it
was not from any oppofition to the Hon. Gentleman's
propofal he did fo, but to remand him, mat his notice
would come more regularly as a dation proceeding,
as it was not orderly in the Committee.)
Mr. COSAY'S motion was agreed to, and the Chair-
man ordered to report to-morrow.
