THE SPIRIT OF THE PENAL CODE IN SOME OF THE
BRITISH SETTLEMENTS.

In Bermuda the Roman Catholic clergyman is not allowed to see the members of his flock who may be priso

ners in jail, without the permission of the Protestant clergyman, or magistrate.

The Roman Catholic clergyman is not allowed to see the members of his flock who may be convicts on board the Hulks, without permission of the Protestant clergyman.

The convicts obliged to attend Protestant service and Protestant schools, and in case of refusal, punished.

Three Protestant clergymen are paid for attending the soldiers in the Island, a very large number of whom are Catholics. An application to the military authorities was recently made for the appointment and payment of one Roman Catholic clergyman for the Catholic soldiers, and refused.

No. 8.

A BILL INTITULED AN ACT FOR THE RELIEF OF HIS MAJESTY'S ROMAN CATHOLIC SUBJECTS.

WHEREAS by various acts of Parliament certain restraints and disabilities are imposed on the Roman Catholic subjects of his majesty, to which other subjects of his majesty are not liable and whereas it is expedient that such restraints and disabilities shall be from henceforth discontinued: and whereas by various acts, certain oaths, and certain declarations, commonly called the declaration. against transubstantiation, and the declaration against transubstantiation and the invocation of the saints, and the sacrifice of the mass, as practised in the Church of Rome, are or may be required to be taken, made, and subscribed by the subjects of his majesty, as qualifications for sitting and voting in Parliament, and for the enjoyment of certain offices, franchises, and civil rights; be it enacted by the king's most excellent majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the lords spiritual and temporal, and commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, that from and after the commencement of this act, all such parts of the said acts as require the said declarations, or either of them, to be made or subscribed by any of his majesty's subjects, as a qualification for sitting and

voting in Parliament, or for the exercise or enjoyment of any office, franchise, or civil right, be and the same are (save as hereinafter provided and excepted) hereby repealed.

And be it enacted, that from and after the commencement of this act, it shall be lawful for any person professing the Roman Catholic religion, being a peer, or who

shall after the commencement of this act be returned as a member of the House of Commons, to sit and vote in either House of Parliament respectively, being in all other respects duly qualified to sit and vote therein, upon taking and subscribing the following oath, instead of the oaths of allegiance, supremacy, and abjuration.

"I, A. B., do sincerely promise and swear, that I will be faithful, and bear true allegiance to his majesty King George the Fourth, and will defend him to the utmost of my power against all conspiracies and attempts whatever which shall be made against his person, crown, or dignity, and I will do my utmost endeavour to disclose and make known to his majesty, his heirs and successors, all treasons and traitorous conspiracies which may be formed against him or them. And I do faithfully promise to maintain, support, and defend, to the utmost of my power, the succession of the crown, which succession, by an act entitled'An Act for the further limitation of the crown, and better securing the rights and liberties of the subject,' is, and stands limited to the Princess Sophia, Electress of Hanover, and the heirs of her body, being Protestants; hereby utterly renouncing and abjuring any obedience or allegiance unto any other person claiming or pretending a right to the crown of this realm. And I do further declare, that it is not an article of my faith, and that I do renounce, reject, and abjure the opinion, that princes excommunicated or deprived by the Pope, or any other authority of the See of Rome, may be deposed or murdered by their subjects, or by any person whatsoever. And I do declare, that I do not believe that the Pope of Rome, or any other foreign prince, prelate, person, state, or potentate, hath, or ought to have, any temporal or civil jurisdiction, power, superiority, or pre-eminence, directly or indirectly, within this realm. I do swear, that I will defend, to the utmost of my power, the settlement of property within this realm as established by the laws; and I do hereby disclaim, disa
