any member Of the society of Jesuits to

this law considerable number of Jesuits
were living in England? eAnd he added
to this question further demand.

against such persons the provisions Of the

meanor. But ever since that law was
passed--a period Of nearly half a century
the government has in no case attempt
ed to enforce the law: and the present

however, turning his guns II pom the home
secretary. He asked Mr. Cross whether,
in view of the fact that Mr.. Disraeli had
said that the laws for expelling the
Jesuits would be put in operation if
necessary. he was aware ''that great num-
bers of Jesuits expelled frem other coun-
tries have lately resorted here for the
avowed purpose of making England
the centre Of their operations, and
of subjugating the British EN-.
pire to the policy Of the papacy!' The
house laughed at this, and it laughed still
more when Mr.. Whalley proceeded to
suggest that, ''as 100000 persons, in Pc
titions sent to this house, had expressed
their belief that the Tichborne case Is an
instance of Jesuit conspiracy he ought
to take action for enforcing the law Of
George ". Mr.. Cross replied that he
had no information at the home office
concerning the jesuit invasion Of Eng
land, nor Of their !design to subjugate the
empire. If the Jesuits have any inten-
ton, he added, ':they might save them
selves great deal of trouble, for they
would be entirely unsuccessful
When this matter had been thus dis.
posed Of, Mr.. Lloyd asked the Secretary
of war whether it was true that on the
3lst of May, in procession of Roman
Catholics in Bayswater, a canopy over
the cardinal archbishop was borne by
four soldiers of her majesty life guards
in the uniform Of their regiment: and
whether the war Office approved of such
conduct g. Mr.. Hardy replied that the
charge was true. The soldiers had ask
ed leave to attend the ceremony in ques.
ton, and it was granted as it was against
regulations for soldiers to be out of uni
form, they went in uniform !; they carried
canopy, not only over the cardinal, but
over the host. which the cardinal carried
in his hands. No military offense was
committed by the soldiers. This was the
purport of the secretary reply, and the
house cheered it.
