General THORNTON supported the amendment.
Sir EDWARD KNATCHBULL stated, that there were five
Coroners in the. County with which be was connected, and be
never had beard of any application from any one of them for an.,

Sir JAMES GRAHAM said, no man could travel for less'
than ninepence a tulle. The charge ;which this measure would
occasion had been much misrepresented It would not amount
to a farthing a pound in any one County, and in many CoUnties
it would not amount to one fourth part of a farthing. The only
County from which Petitions had been 'presorted against the
measure was Somerset; and that had been owing to a mlsre-
pre.t.ittation„ jhat it 'would occasion a charge of .6'4,000 a-year,
whereas it would not add £6OO a•year to the Rates.
Mr. DI Cla N.-ON contended it wOilld add Je1,200 a-year to

the Honourable Beronet could not fail to contribete.
Sir HENRY PARNELL wished to communicate
to the House some information received by him from
the Catholic Prelates of Ireland. They had projee-ed
of their own accord, that instead of the present•
mode of nominating Bishops, they should in future
be elected by the Dean and Chapter. This mode
would assimilate the discipline of the Catholic Church
of Ireland to ell it of s•-verel'other Catholic Saves,
and would bring it,hadt to the purer ages of the Cs.
t olio Chutch.. This plairof election by the Defto
and Chaptrr was the law for :navy aoes'of the Ceris-
tian Church; and had been adopted by the Church
of France? and, in our own 'patine of proyitors. The
Catholic-Clergy in making this
.preposel theraselv‘s.
had receded from their resolutions of 1698, in elicit
they declared the inexpediency of any ellanre.
Lord CASTLEREAGH apprehended that the
qiiestion, whether Bishops should be elected by the
Dean and Chapter, or, as latterly, by the See oil
Rom?, was one with which the Parliament could not
meddle, without departing from the rule which they
had always laid for themselves, of avoiding all in.
terferenee with the Catholic religion. This was a
.question between the Clergy of behind and the See
of Rome, and not between the Catholics of Ireland
and Parliament. However much it might be wished
that the election of the Bithnps of Ireland should
approximate as much as possible to our own, he
could not consider such a mode of election as a sub-
stitute for the security proposed to be taken. He
conceived the House were greatly indebted to the
Honourable Baronet for the pains he had taken in
collecting the information contained in the Report ;
and with respect to which he had given the Honour-
able Baronet every facility in his power. The body
of information was so exteLsive, that the labours of
Ilse Committee were likely. to be attended with sue-
cess, They would carry conviction into every mind,
that the British Legislature never contemplated the
proposing any regulations which were
,not thought
necessary both in Protestant and Catholic State:.
' This information could not fail to do Read ia the
case of those whose minds had been led away and
disturbed by misrepresentations and false statements
on this subject. Those who hereafter opposed the
conditions must do it from an indispositioneo a liberal
connection with the State. He was extremely happy-
to see that they were likely to have on their table a
Report founded on so many documents of the greatest
authority.

Mr. HORNER could not help congratulating; the
Catholics on what he heard 'with so great satis.
faction, the sentiment; delivered by the Right Ho.
nourable Gentleman ( Mr. Cannin7), who had lately
acceckd to the Niitiistry. Ile et raid no: help inferring
from the manner in which, as well as th.s occasion
when these sentiments were deliiered, that they might
look forward with better h( pes and expectations than.
they had ever yet had any reason to entertain of a
speedy settlement of the great question of Catholic;
Emancipation.—(Hear, hear).--When he coupled
those sentiments which 'the Right Honourable Gen.
tleman had just delivered with the circumstance of his
recent accession to the Administration, he felt con-
vinced that the Right Honourable Gentlemap would
not have expressed his increased sense of the impor-
tance of a final settlement of the question, unless he
had previously come to a distinct understanding on
the subject with the other Gentlemen who composed
that Administration.--(Hear, hear).—And he felt
this conviction the more strongly when be called to
remembrance the very manly grounds on which the
Right Honourable Gentleman stated' some time ago
that he had declined acceding to the same Admini.
stration.—(Hear, he'ar).—He hoped, therefore, that
the Right Honourable-Gentleman had not delivered
his sentiments on this occasion merely as a Member of
Parliament ; that in the next Session the question
would not come before the House as usual, merely in
consequence of Petitions from the Catholics, but that
it would be taken up in the only way in which it
ought to he taken up, namely, that the measure
of Emancipation would be formally and officially
brought in by these who held the most prominent
place in the Councils of the Country, and that they
would no longer have to witness that trifling which,
year after year, had been displayed—(llear, hear),—
of men filling the highest situations of the Govern.
ment, holding out this as a measure of the most vital
importance—declaring that no measure with regard
to Ireland was likely to be attended with any good
effect, if it was not carried—that Ireland could not
'otherwise be tranquillized—and yet leaving a mea-
sure of such vital importance to the country, to be
brought furward, not by themselves, but by those
who could not have the same weight with themselves,
and whose efforts could not therefore be expected to
be attended with the same success—(Hear; hear, hear.)
The Right Honourable Gentleman had thought pro-
per to allude to another topic, which had little or no
'contlection•with the present subject—for what reascn
it .was not so easy to see—the situation of the Protes-
tants of the South of France. Who had ever said
that that Protestants were persecuted at present in the
part of France which the Right Honourable Gentle-
man had mentioned ? But did he take urn himself
to undo all the evidence which had been given of the
existence of the most severe persecution of the Pro-
testants in another quarter of France. No one ever
said, that there had been any persecution in the De.
partment of the Gironde, but in the department of
the Gard.—(hear, hear.)—Neltber had it been said
that the persecution was carried on by the French
Government, but by the lower orders of Catholics
against their Protestant fellow-subjects. Yet though
the Government had not themselves carried on the
persecution, it was stated,. and justly stated, that it
bad not done its duty in taking those measures which
would have put a stop to it—(Near, /maw.)
Mr. CANNING explained.
HIPPISLEY said, that he was convinced
the effect of the Report would be favourable to the
object of which he had been the strenuous supporter,
a concession to the Catholics. 'The claims of the
Catholics could not be urged on the ground of right,
but OA the ground of expediency theymere ixrisibtiole•
