§ SIR FREDERICK HEYGATEsaid, he did not rise for the purpose of offering further opposition to the Bill, but wished to clear himself from a statement which he was reported to have made upon the Motion with regard to a Royal residence, by the hon. Baronet the Member for Clare. ["Order, order!"]
COLONEL STUART KNOXprotested, in the name of all the independent Members of every class and creed in Ireland, against the third reading of this Bill; but, as it was going to its last resting-place, he should not give the House the trouble of dividing upon it.
§ Bill read the third time and passed.
