HC Deb 09 August 1836 vol 35 c1056

The Chancellor of the Exchequer moved for leave to bring in a Bill for the further suspension of the payment of the instalments due on the loan granted for the relief of the Irish Clergy. The object of the Bill was the same as that which he had brought forward last Session, though it was somewhat differently provided for by the proposed measure. It was intended, that the suspension of the payments should take place only in certain cases.

Lord Morpeth

could state to the House, that it was the intention of the noble Duke, whose name had been introduced in the last debate on the subject of Irish tithes, to hold himself answerable for his share of the loan, no matter what measure was passed upon the subject.

Leave given.
