Mr. DOHERTY rCl‘e to present two Petitions from
tEe Irish Bar in favour of the Catholic Claims. One
of the•.e was lions the Protestant members of that pro-
fession, and had 100 signatures; the other was hom
Catholic members, signed by 67. The Hon. Member
fur Dover, he observed, had stated that the number of
Iri•h Barristers had exceeded 600. Whatever the num-
ber might be which was called to the Bar in Ireland, be
(Mr. D.) believed, that .the number of practising Bar-
ri►ters was about 240—at least that was the number
which subscribed to the law library, and the majority

of these petitioned in favour of their Catholic cotintry-
nen. There were a gnat number who, holding
jprfEiil tituations, did not wish to interfere in politics,
let were favourable to the measure before the House.
1 looking over the register of the Irish Bar, he selected
etesen members of that House., who once were mem-
bers t>f the Lish Bar, and all of whom were in favour
of tl.is measure; and he could find but one member of
that House belooging to the Irish Bar who was opposed
to it. In alluding to the Petitions from the Catholic
side of the lie, the Hon. ldernber observed, that there
had (trendy been four or fiari Catholic Barristers ap-
poured to juJicgal offices, and the seal, diligence, and
ability with which they discharged their duties com-
manded the admiration of Catholics and Protestants.—
He trusted that this would be the last time that, the dis-
biuctian betweekCatholic lied Protestant would be found
in petitions; but that, is fume, they would to all en-
rolled on the same sheet of parchment, having a tutu
mon object in view—the welfare of their c worry.
Mr. MOORE did not mean to throw any disparage-
ment on those who signed petitions which his Hon.
Friend presessted;bet he thought that his Hon.Fe lend was
mistaken in the calculation which be made of the num-
bers and saspettabili y r,f the Irish Bar—from his (Alf.
Nacre's) &omit: dge of the Barristers who attend. sl tie
foto Collis, the proportion of this respectable pail of
them elh.cll signed the petition was very small; wl me-
lts several of rank, talent, and experience, were en the
opposite side, among shorn was one individual oh
had latelyilled a high office (Mr. Saurin we presume).
a man of sound knowledge and the strictest integrity
aid independence, than whom no person could be fouled,
more attached to the interests of the church and of Wet
country. If his Hon. Friend would duly weigh the
members el the Irish Bar, both for and against thee..
tholic question, he would find that the latter were en-
titled go mote consideration than the former.
Mc. DOHERTY declined to make a contrast be-
tween their respective tneiir.s, but he would say, that
many who had been heretofore opposed to further con.
cession, were now of opinion that the time had arrived
for settling the quest on. It seas the. fashiortuf late to
revile those woo adore dreir sentiinents on this'
Tuition ; but lie (Mr. When)) would say, in answeil
