§ Mr. Huntpresented a Petition, also signed by two individuals, the Chairman and Secretary of a large meeting of working classes, called the Westminster Union, which stated, that the petitioners, being aware of the enormous patronage and revenues of the Church of Ireland, and having noticed the intention of Parliament to make an addition to the establishment of the Princess Victoria, they prayed the House to address his Majesty to make her Royal Highness Bishop of Derry, and allow her to receive half the revenues of that See, on the condition of residing in the diocese. As this was a fair project for saving a considerable sum of money, he hoped the petition would not be objected to. He moved for leave to bring it up.
Sir Robert Ingliswas proceeding to state, that such a petition ought not to be received, when,
930 It appearing that there was no seconder to the Motion of the hon. member for Preston, the Speaker decided, that there was no question before the House, and the petition was, of course, not brought up.
