Emancipation Debate on Catholic Peers at Westminster
A heated debate recounts Mr Wilmot and other peers arguing for or against concessions to Roman Catholics. The discussion covers coronation oaths, securities, and the danger of Catholic influence, with references to historical events from Elizabeth I to William III and testimonies from Lords such as Forster, Wynn, and Londonderry. The passage notes the division in the House and the broader question of Catholic civil rights in Ireland and Britain.
