The LORD iiIANCFIIbIt wished to draw the at-
tention of their Lordships to the claims made in the
Court of Chancery by two individuals, to the Earldom
of Strathmore. He understood that a Petition had
been Presentri to the House on the subject, and he
gave notice, that in a few days he should move that it
be referred to the Committee of Privileges now sitting.
Ile stated this, in order that the House Height be ac-
/painted with the 'natter when it should come before
them, the inestion being one of great importance, not
cell as it affected the claimants, but their Lordships
theaaselves.

CATHOLIC EMANCIPATION.


Lord TEMPLE presented three Petitions on dif
same saject from different districts of the County it
Bnekinghant.—On presenting th, first, he made a.
forcible appeal to the House in favour of the Peti-
tioners, strongly recommending their case to cone'.
deration.—The Petitions were ordered to lie on the table:
Admiral HARVEY presented three Petitions front
Dunmow, and two other towns in the County of

Essex, calling the attention of the lion" to the
existing Agricultural Distress.-9rdered to lie es

A similar Petition was presented from Northampton.
—Ordered to lie on the table.

Ordered to lie on else table. •

A similar Petition was presented from eh*
,deaconry and .Clergy of timmtwaU.—Ordesed to 11
'tire table.

Mr. FITZGIBBON presented a Petition from the
Roman Catholics of Limerick, praying to be admitted
to the full enjoyment of the privileges of the 11:itish
Constitution. '1 he lion. Gentleman begged to offer
his testiniony to the loyalty and respectability of the
Petitioners, and expressed an earnest hope that the
result of that night's debate would determine that a
large portion of the peop!ii of Ireland should no longer
be excluded from participating in the blessings of die
Constitution.

S. RYCE supported the prayer of the Petition,
conceiving it to be founded on justice. No paltry
question of expediency, if expediency could ever be
separated from justice, ought to induce them now to
exclude from the full enjoyment of all constitutional
rights men who had proved by their patience, under
severe privations and unmerited misfortunes, how well
they deserved them. Ile hoped the House would con-
sent to go into a Committee on the Catholic Claims,
but supporting this Petition he was desirous of doing
every thing that could be necessary to support the
Protestant Establishment. If securities were wanted
to guard the Protestant Church from danger, on the
proof being given that these were necessary be *Wild,
vote for them. Bat he was satisfied that the best secu-
rity the Church of England could receive, would be
afforded by an act of conciliation and generosity to-
wards the Roman Catholics.—The Petition was ordered
to be printed.
A Petition was presented from the Mayor, Alderden.
and Comm' Council of Colchester, against the Ca-
tholic Claims.—Order to lie on the table.
Lord it. MANNERS, after a few words, which
were not distinctly heard in the gallery, presented
a Petition from Leicester against the Catholics.

cunistances under which this Petition was presented,
as, if be bad understood the Noble Lord aright, the Pe-
tition bad been forwarded to the Noble Lord, to pre-
sent a year ago.
The Petition was ordered to lie on the table.
Mr. NOLAN presented a Petition from the Gentry,
Clergysand others of the Town and County of Notting-
ham, praying that no alteration may take place in the
Laws affecting Roman Catholics. Ile begged to say
that he differed from the sentiments expressed in the
Petition, as well as from the prayer of R.—Ordered to
lie on the table.
Sir E. HARVEY presented a PeCtion from the
Archdeaconry, Clergy, a:.,1 Laity of Colchester, pray-
ing that the Professors of the Raman Catholic Reli-
gion may be admitted to no greater Constitutional
Privileges than those secured to them by Acts of
Settlement.
Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH said those friendly to
Catholic Emancipation did not with to do away with
any of the securities obtained for the Constitution at
the period of the glorions Revolution. He was per-
suaded that his lion. and Learned Friend who brought
the subject forward, would be the last man to tin nny
thing against the spirit of the Itertlitttian of !Ws'.
They must, however, not confound the Revolution
and least of all, with what was done in Ireland at that
period. It was persevered in, using their growing
intelligence to bring this subject before Parliament,
and he hoped their efforts would not be relaxed till
their success was complete. The result of that day's
debate would, he hoped, relieve them, and render all
further petitioning on that subject unnecessary. If.
unfortunately, they failed on this occasion, he hoped
their just and manly appeals to Parliament, in defence
of their rights, would be continued.
The Petition was ordered to lie on the table.
Lord W. BENTINCK presented a Petition from
Nottingham, complaining of Agricultural Distress.—
Ordered to lie on the table.
ROMERSETSII IRE PETITION.

Sir T. IiTTIBIIIIDUE presented a Petition from
the town of Bruton, in Suniersetshire, against the Ca-
tholic Claims as they were called. The petitioners
looked with great anxiety to the recurrence of this
question, but relied on the wisdom of that House, if
the subject should go to a Committee, to provide
suitable securities for the Protestant interest, but at
the same time they doubted whether any thing could
be done to relieve the Catholics, that would at the
same time cLiitribute to support the Constituted au-
thorities of this realm. In this feeling he for one
agreed with the Petitioners. He should be inclined
to consider the appointment of a Committee only a
delusion, fur he could not see how any thing could be
done that would relieve the Catholics, and at the
same time give security to the Protestant establish-
ments, like those under which this country had hi-
therto been governed. It was from this feeling that
he was always disposed to object ig limise to any
plan of this kind, and he now called upon those who
wished to hand down the constitution unimpaired to
posterity to oppose the claims of the Catholics on the
present occasion.
Mr.HRENFELL, as be had for twenty years given
his humble support to the motions made for granting
the prayers of the Catholics, without finding an op-
portunity of expressing his sentiments wished now to
slate aka' his sentiments were. So far was he from
thinking that by conceding what Nas prayed for they

"mold do any thing to undermine the Constitution,
that the immure in question would prove Sae of its
bided iapports, and would not MI to coetribute to'
the hest inteeste of the empire.
Mr. WARD, when an Hon. Methbtr file T. loth-
'ridge) called on the House to oppose the claims of
the Catholics is liroditsr, wished them to remember in

what sitnatioas they bail heretofore bees called open

to oppose them in limber. In I bO6, ,'hers it was pro-
lased to admit Catbolirsto a certain rank in the anay
aad nary, the Hon. Member was one of those who
thee Galled od the House to oppose thin proposition is
Tian the cry of "No Popery,' was raked,
the proposition failed. Since the measure alluded
-'shad been carried by the eery persons w:.o env
it. At that time they were told, "if yon du
ion will pare the %.•ly for oyertnrnitlg the Cun•
as was estalAlisbed at t: period of the
tidos." lint this eseolletit measere has siner

•ett carried. It was intraillueed in the Lards, am'
,when it ratite to the Commons, it WAS passed sub
silents, in the course of right and forty hours, and the
result of that was, that they might now have a CaCtu;ic
tieneral at the head of an antic, anal a Catholic M-
inim' comm.analing the Clc.ntael fleet. But he wouid
put it to the Member if this had endangered ies•
Constitatioa? lle was must deeideally 4 opinion that
it Sail not, anal he hoped th • Cltholics would still po
on step by step till they gained the consummation ut
their wishes. lle hoped Cie Ilunse would go on as
they had done, improving the condition of the Catho-
lics, and trusted they would out yield to vain fears, to
invite real danger.

Mr. BARHAM objected to the font calumnies urged
against the Catholics in one Petition which had been
laid before the !louse. He would not enlarge on state-
ments that were merely illiberal, absurd, and tinchris-
tiaulike; hut he would notice some of those which were
stmt more offensive. It was stated, that the prayer of
the Catholics ought nut to be attended to now, liestanse
the concessions formerly made were given as their elll-
mottos.. This he must declare to be utterly false. They
lbad been content to receive so muds as Pattiament was
disposed to grant ; bat at no time hail any compromise
taken place. Though he Was ready to believe that
much of this Petition orieinated in igeortoce, yet he
could not believe the petitioners so ignorant In to {be-
lieve that the Catholics had a mental reserve when snak-
ing oath, under the impression that faith was not to be
kept with heretics. He thought they must homy that
such were not the tenets of the Catholic Chord', from
the results of the various inquiries that haul taken plate.
Yet on this calninny they fonteled the bold charge, that
a Catholic was not to be believed on his oath. This
WAS an idea so absurd. that he would defy the Devil
himself to produce one more so.
The SPEAKER thought it necessary to interrnpt the
Lsilitieglitsert. since he was. going on. at saris length. un
had liven brought before the House itt a
Petition, butt not the Petition then before the House.
Mr. BAB/LAM could not know the contents of this
Petition before it was read. tout he had thbeszlit it right
to guard the (louse atainst inetetring the sib•e rave which
hr thought attiched to receiving petitions like that to
which ha had alluded.
The SPEAKER said it cotti•l not be orderly to (IT,
cos%, ON this OCCsotion. The merits of a Petition «hick
had been previously before them, and which had been
already printed.
Mr.HARHAM replied, it had been Isis object to im-
press on the noose the importance of attendittr: more
carefully to the reading of the Petition.
The SPL'AICER had to apologise to the lion. Hem.
her, if his eatensints had reference to the present Pe-
tition.
Sir T. LE I'IIItRIDGE understood his llon..Friend
opposite to say, that a howls had been given to the Ca-
tholics its Inn, and that, on that account, they ought
not to oppose their claims n Ile thought this, if
any argument at all went directly the other way,
against the proposition of the Den. Ilentlemats. It
served to show that what had already been eot.reded,
only encouraged the Catholics to route to Pitliament
again with new demands. The last speaker (Mr.
Barham) had been pleased not only to speak strainst
present Peitioners, but to c.-eate a petition for them.
Ile denied that their petition was -uch a' he ha--I de-
scribed it to be. It contained nothini Illiberal, un-
christian-like, or false, hot merely opposed the 4rant-
in.: of the prayer of the Catholic., under the itnpres•
sion that they would rest satisfied with nothing short of
absolute power.
Mr. BARI-I.INI denied haring applied the languag •
itupnted to him to the present Petitioners.
Mr. WARD said the lion. ilaronet had completely
misconceived Ilitn, and explained by repeating hi,
former statement.
Sir T. LETHBRIDGE explained.
Lord li. MANNERS defended. the Archdeaconry
and Clergy of Leicester (whose Petition had been al-
luded to.) Ile was confident that they had only stated
that which they believed to be the truth.
The Petition waa then read, and ordered to be printed.
On the motion of Mr. CALI'IIATT, the consideration
of the Petition against the return for Alborough urge
postponed till the Isth of March.
Sir 11. PARN ELL postponed his motion respecting
the Leasing of Tithes till Friday.
IIItOMAN CATHOLICS OF IRFIAND.

Lord iN COEN I' rose to present the humble Peti-,
Lion of the Rotnat, Catholics a :inaland. It teas signed
by u, w ads of StJOQ persons; among whom were sever
Peers, fourteen Barons, seven of their Bishops. and a
considerable number of their Clergy. If on the pre.
sent occasion he was sanguine enough t., hope for suc-
cess, the hope rested on the increased faith of the Peti-
tioners in the justice of Parliament and on their uni-
formly exemplary conduct, but principally on that
declaration which they made, awl which, uut retry
principle, was now stated for the third time, OA which
he thought removed one great difficulty that haat hi•
theto stood in the way. The house was aware that
the oath of supremacy denying the •pititual power ot
the Pope in this country bad hitherto opposed the ad-
', mission of the Catholics to a full share of the blessings
of the English Constitution. This difficulty was now
removed, by their present declaration with respect to
the Oath of supremacy. The Petitioners had hereto-
fore bees accused of giving to the Pope a part of that
allOgiadce which they owed to the King. This had
Selo repeatedly denied, asd they now agaiu denied
