Opt the Motion of Mr. GIIATTAN, the House was about to go into this Committee ; when Mr. Les tN G TON rose. He thought -the doctrines of the Roman' Ca:11 - .1ics were tco dangerous to allow them the concession, which they requited, with safety to the Protestant eNtablishmont. Any re. Ii fereßce to the conduct of the Catholics would be unfavourable to their claims. He understood that what was wanted was, a general removal of all the restrictions on the Roman Catholics; but the doctrines of their Church, which were dangerous, had not been removed. Mr. Lostli NG (ON then took the Chair, when GR ir TA N atter a speech of some length, moved—" That with a view to the pre,,ervation of the Church and the State, and uniting all classes of Hs Majesty's ;:übjects, it would be necessary to remove ' disablities which his Maje s ty's Catholic subjects laboured under,' taking care at the same time, to adopt such Pleasures u should secure l the i-afety of the Episcopal Church of Great Britian and Ireland, and the Church of Scot i and."
