But the third Law that Poy ming made waa
the worst of all. It was to this effect, that !
no Parliament in Ireland was to have any
right to make laws unless they fret came

to assemble in Parliament without the
Lord Lieuteuant's permission. NO man
} could propose any measure in Parliament;
i lit had frat to be sent oyer and get the ap,
tproyal Of the English King before it c01id
he laid before an irish Parliament. This
, law completely subjugated Ireland to Eng,
