manner the general question of Catholic Affairs with the
object of voting a Congratulatory Address to hie lire-
done Majesty, on the auspicious event of his visiting
this Country, do hereby request you to convene a Meet-

Oentlemen residing in the country, desirous to have
their manta affixed to this doesmeut, will, of course, di-
rect their friends in Dublin to have it done forthwith.
THE SPURIOUS REQUISITION !
The reader will see that we have not erred in our
title, when we state, as an actual fact, that a very
large portion of the names affixed to the document,
which we have called " Spurious," were obtained un-
der a false pretence. They were requested to authorise
their names to be put to a Requisitionjor an Address
to Ms Mug i all being of one mind upon this in-
teresting subject, they willingly gave their assent ;
but when these persons afterwards saw their names in
print at the foot of a Requisition embracing matter
sufficiently comprehensive to occupy a month's discus-
sion at least, and very likely also to produce a torrent
of acrimonious vituperation, and a revival of party
distention, among Catholics, they became indignant at
the deception put upon them, and have withdrawn
their names from the spurious document. Among
those who have signed under this false impression, we
are authorised to name the following highly respecta-
ble Oentleinen :—Dr. Sheridan, Dr. 'feeling, Mr.
Sweetman, Mr. Anthony Clarke, Mr. John Power,
Distiller ; 31r. Woodlock, New-row ; Mr. John Phe-
lan, Thomas-street ; Mr. John Dwyer, Timings-street,
We know that there are many others, besides the
abort.

IPUTDAT ETENINO, JULY 6, 1921.

The Funds opened at 771 this morning, since which
they have been sellers at 77g.

Yesterday, according to the appointment we previ-
ously
announced, the Privy Council assembled at
Whitelall, to hear her MaaEIITT'S Counsel in behalf
of the lavesx's legal right to be crowned with the
Kt xa at the approaching Solemnity of the Coronation.
The Commit-table was surrounded by a larger number
of Privy-Councillors than hare attended for many
years; and the QUEEN'S ATTORNET•ORNRRAL was
heard for nearly three hours in support of her MA-
.IRSTT'S Claim. The Speech of Mr. BROUORAM, which
we hare given at length in our preceding columns,
was replete with very curious matter, and very close
and highly interesting argument. The object of the
Learned Gentleman was to sbew that the claim of the
Qt rex to be crowned was established exactly upon
the same legal ground as that of his MAJIGTT'S right.
The ground be assumed was that of uniform, uninter-
rupted practice, in the sense in which be thought be
should be permitted to avail himself of these terms in a
Court of Justice, and in which he should be justified in
establishing out of them the legal existence of any pri-
vate right. Such interruptions as had broken upon the
uniformity of the practice, he maintained did not af-
fect the nninterrupted right, but, in his estimation,
rather sanctioned and confirmed it. Mr. BROUGHAM
then proceeded to trace the practice through the re-
cord. of history and other authentic esemorials,
in all the reigns of the married English KINGS,
from the times/ the Saxons, in the year 784, to the
period of the ltevolution of 1688, after which, u ths
Learned Uesdusaa said, their Lordships were aware
