This bill was committed yesterday night.

Shaw, the Recorder of Dublin, an honest man enough, but a bitter Protestant fanatic, complained that it should be brought forward so late in the Session.

Several of his friends, he said, had left London believing that the measure had been abandoned.

It appeared, however, that Stanley and Lord Althorp had given fair notice of their intention; so that, if the absent members had been mistaken, the fault was their own; and the House was for going on.

Shaw said warmly that he would resort to all the means of delay in his power, and moved that the chairman should leave the chair.
