§ MR. STAPLETONsaid, he would beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury, Whether he intends to introduce any words into the Irish Church Bill to secure the life interests of the Professors of Maynooth, in accordance with the statement to that effect made by the Attorney General for Ireland when the House was in Committee; or whether those gentlemen are now satisfied that their life interests are secured by the Bill as it stands?
MR. GLADSTONESir, on re-consideration we are of opinion that the words which have been introduced into the Bill are practically sufficient for the purpose of securing the life interests of the Professors of Maynooth, and we have not the least reason to suppose 749 that those gentlemen are dissatisfied with the security afforded to them.
