§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked the Chief. Secretary for Ireland whether his attention has been called to the speech of the retiring moderator, the Rev. H. P. Glen, at the first sitting of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Belfast, on the 6th of this month, in which he stated that in all his visits to the North as well as to the South and West of Ireland he had never been molested nor had he found one of his churches wantonly or maliciously injured, and that no trace of a religious war in Ireland was manifesting itself; and whether he will consult this gentleman as to the above facts with a view to bringing about a settlement in the disturbed parts of Ireland?
§ Mr. HENRYI have seen the statement referred to by the hon. and gallant Member, but I am afraid I do not see in what way a consultation between the reverend1564W gentleman and my right hon. Friend the Chief Secretary would advance the cause of an Irish settlement.
