the estate ; and he believed it was not unusual , as the tenants hold at will . He had heard , however , that the cause , in some cases , was the removal of Mr . Campbell from the Synod . He had heard that Lord Templeton had told a very extensive and improving tenant , that he must lose his farm on account of his re *
moval from the Synod . The Presbytery had been , grieved at this , and did not well know how to meet the difficulty . It tended to alienate the people from them . The Presbytery took an opportunity to express themselves oa this subject , and he believed some members of other
Presbyteries had done the same . Mr . Stewart , of Broughshane , had expressed his regret in a similar way . He ( Mr . D . ) was sorry to add , that he believed such reports were too well founded . Mr . Bleckjley said , the same principle of noticing to quit had been acted on at Castleblayney , on Lord Teinpletou ' s property , where there is no cause of
dis-* Mr . Mqrell thought it disorderly to introduce the name of Lord Templeton . ( B&ir > hear . ) These things would go abroad from this place , and . might give offence , to that Nobleman . tyj * . Stewart , of Broughshane , regretted that his name had been introdmedhy Mr . Doherty . He ( Mr . S . ) had
certainly stated , that he would not be proud of the assistance of Lord Templeton , if actuated by such motives as had been alleged ; but would be very far from rejecting , the co-operation of friends , exerted fairly for the iuterest of the Synod . He had said so ; but he had not used the language attributed to him by Mr . Dohecty . He had also , on the same occa- » siqh , expressed his disapprobation of a threat held out by Mr , M'Kibbiti , of
Glenarui , that he , would turn some orthodox individuals out of their farms , if they did not adhere to the ministry of Mr . Montgomery . Mr . M'Kibb ' m had denied , in a . published letter , having ever held out suqh a threat . He ( Mr- S . ) had not thought , it necessary to contradict that assertion , though it was untrue ; and he would appeal to Mr . Reid , whether he ( Mr . S . ) had not ; had sufl&cienfc evidence , that the threat had been , held out .
Mr ,, , K £ ip a ^^ eqtep . Mr . P , oHBRTy thought Mr . Stewart ' s explanation did not differ materially from his o . wnt ,, The on 1 v tb | u& w , that M r . St ^ waqt uow , explained hia observations a * having been made wjth an \ f 9 and he ( Mr . D . ) did not recollect that Mr .

Stewaitr had used any such qualifying word ; and * , respecting * Lord Templetoii ' s interference , there was as good proof as Mr . Stewart had in reference to Mr M'Kibbin . Mr . Jamieson knew more of Lord Templeton ' s mind than any man in that
house , and lie . asserted it was untrue that his Lordship had threatened to turn out any of Mr . Campbell ' s people on account of religious opinions . This subject should not have been introduced . They had no right to interfere for the purpose of approving or disapproving of Lord Templetoii ' s conduct .
Mr . Cooke thought this subject had been foolishly introduced ; but as it had been mentioned , they must get publicly out of it . Much had been said about Lord Templefcon ' s interference . Now he ( Mr . C . ) had his knowledge from good authority , and he knew those statements to be untrue . He believed them , from first to last , to be unfounded .
Mr . H ogg thought the surest way would he to send a deputation to wait on Lord Templeton , to ascertain the facts , and to inform him , that if he intend turning Mr . Campbell out of his farm , for his religious opinions , we would not avail ourselves of his assistance . Mr * Smith said it was untrue that Lord Templeton was depriving Mr . Campbell of his farm , to give it to a minister attached to them . His Lordship , in fact ,
thought that a minister should not be encumbered by a farm ; but he would g ^ ve their minister in lieu of it , £ 20 a year ; and he ( Mr . S . ) had it from his Lordship ' s agent , that if that sum were not sufficient , he would give more .
[ The conversation here terminated . Notwithstanding the denials of Mr . Cooke aod Mr . Jainieson , the facts , as to Lord Temp-leton ' s proceedings , arc perfectly well ascertained , aud we question whether his Lordship ever wished or designed them to be kept secret . ]
A memorial from Warreupoint congregation , similar to those previously presentedj was read * A Mr * Smith , who appeared as a commissioner , gave an account of the state of the people whom he represented $ bu t the , memorial contained expressions so offensive towards the
Presbytery of Armagh , and was supported by the commissioner in language considered to be ao disrespectful towards the same body , that , on the demand of Mr . Jenkins and Mr . P . S . Henry , the paper was handed back , till the abusive portions should be expunged . IVJemoriala from Greyabbey and Clough were also read ,
