I remember, fourteen or fifteen years ago, when the countrymen of that member's constituents came to me for help and counsel. The honourable member professes to now represent those Irishmen who then sought and had my aid; and on Tuesday he in effect told the House that it ought to exclude from it one who did not believe in God, and had no standard of morality. But I see from the division list that the 'third party,' of which he pretended to be the spokesman at the election of the Speaker, went into the lobby opposed to that into which their leader went, so that the really Irish members did not forget old ties.

The borough of Northampton sent a representative to Parliament who _refused to take an oath_--not because he had any conscientious objection to be sworn, but because an appeal to a God--in whom he had no belief--seemed to him an idle formula which was not binding on his conscience.
