One of the Petitions presented by the. Marquis of LANSDOWNS, was from a number of per sons who had met in London, consisting of 960, many of whom, including theChairman,hisf-ordship stated were Members of the Chnrch of England, and some of diem beneticedClergymen, who felt the importance of preventing those dissentious, to which this measure, if persisted in, must unhappily give rise, and were anxious to live in peace and harmony with their fel low-subjects, the Dissenters. While the titles of the greater part of these Peti tions were reading, some conversation took place, in the course of which, The Petitions were ordered to lie on the table. At length the Order of the Day, for the second reading of the above Bill, was read. Lord Viscuuot SIDMOUTH rose, and addressed the - House in a speech of considerable length, on the subject of the measure in question. In tins his Lord ship necessarily referred to many of those points which he adduced in his introductory Speech upon the mea sure.. He repeated, that a considerable degree of misconception had gone forth,. and he believed, also Much misrepresentation, and in these sentiments he was fortified by what had appeared in the shape of resolutions in the public papers. His Noble Friend was not correct, wn he imagined the measure was intended to change the law—the elsjeet of the Bill was to give it an uniform interpretation and effect. Under the prevalent construction of the practice which pre vailed under the Acts referred to i n the Bill, any per son, however &Void of moral qualifications, or the requisite ability, may by taking the prescribed oaths, and , signing the declaration, demand a certificate which would allow him to preach in any congregation of Dissenters, any doctrines he thought proper ; not only this, but such certificate would entitle him to various exemptions from civil and military duties, to which his Majesty's subjects in general were liable. Would any Noble Lord say this was not an evil, or that it did not require correction ? He had commu nication from Magistrates in different parts of the kingdom, stating, that numbers obtained these li cences for the purposes of entitling themselves to those objections. Ile was aware, and felt satisfaction in knowing it, that a different interpretation prevailed in some parts of thelingdom, as in the counties of Devon, Bucks, Norfolk, parts of Suffolk, and in some other places. This diversity of construction it was one of the objects of the Bill to correct; and it was the opi nion of many enlightened men, that it was abso lutely necessary the subject should be brought under the consideration of Parliament. These sentiments, which wets strongly felt by himself, and the opinions avowed by several most respectable Dis senters on parts of the subject, encouraged him to come forward. With respect to the general impres sion he received from Dissenters with whom he had communicated, it was that they rather wished the subject should not be agitated ; but that if it were brought forward, very few of them entertained any objection to the regulations he proposed. For his part he could not conceive on what grounds any ra tional Dissenter could object to a regulation, which would go to exclude improper persons from the office of Ministers of Congregations. His Lordship then referred to the various provisions of the Bill, and de scribed the different classes of Dissenting Ministers, all calculated to exclude improper persons from offi ciating as Dissenting Clergymen, and not trenching ht the smallest degree on the principle of the Acts in Toleration. Nothing, at the same time, was farther from his intention than that the lower classes of the community should be destitute of the means of re ligious instruction ; and he regretted to have occasion to entertain the opinion, that many would have been deficient in that most important branch of instruction, did they not derive it through those channels which it was the object of the Bill to improve arid purify.— , He then described the effect which the Bill would ' have on that class of applicants, who were called probationers by some nt the dissenting sects, and who went through a state of probation in certain congre gations, by officiating as Ministers, previous to their regular appointment. For these, under the pre vailing system, permanent licences were generally obtained. This he thought improper; and on the required testimonials of their fitness for the minis terial functions, attested by a certain number of per sons belonging to their respective congregations, as required by the Bill, a licence for a limited period should be allowed them. The Noble Lord then ob served, that according to the regulations of the Esta blished Church, adequate testimonials or proofs of the fitness, moral and intellectual, of the Candidates for Holy Orders were required before they were admit ted ; and he referred to some documents containing rules of the Methodistical Sects in these respects, as to the fitness of their Ministers for the functions they were desirous of obtaining. He argued, therefore, that legislative provisions tending to ensure these de sired points, could not be consistently objected to by the Dissenters. He thought that such a regulation should he most desirable with all those of what per suasion soever, who felt for the honour or sanctity of religion itself. U;cler these impressions, lie would ask of the candour and justice of 'their Lordships, if he had brought forward this subject wantonly or un necessarily, or whether he did not bring it forward upon solid grounds ? He had laid the Bill upon the table, tinder the conviction that no Member of the Established Church, or still less any Protestant Dis senter, could object to its provisions. One of its lead ing objects, he repeated, was to render the law uni form on this important subject. Though a different interpretation prevailed in different parts of the king dom, yet this was unavailable towards the exclusion of improper individuals, as they obtained their licences from the Magistrates of other counties ; or, if this were not the case, mandamuses would be applied for. A Noble Friend (Lord Holland) said on a former night that he had made out no case which called for this legislative interposition. For this he would ap peal to any of their Lordships who had acted as a Magistrate, whether they were not aware of the abuses he complained of ? That these facili. ties lead to the most injurious abuses, he could adduce many more proofs than their Lordships would have patience to hear. He would beg to refer to one or two cases, by way of illustration ; one occurred in an assembly of Magistrates, at Staf , ford, where a person actually applied for a licence to (become a religious preacher and teacher, who could neither read nor write. When he was asked to sign his entree, he answered, lit dist, not come there to setae. las 'When a p in of the statute WA.; shewn to him th:a Ors was necessary, and he was desired to read it, the an swer was, that he did not come there to read. At length, this candidate for the Ministerial functions contc , se.l that he could neither read n: -r write ; that :.e `was desirous of a licence to read, that Gospel which he could not read. This was one among many iv `stances he cotild adduce of the necessity of the regu. Ilations he proposed. This was not the worst. He could refer to instances of declines of the most clan -1 gerous tendency being promulgated ; and he wend part of a letter from an authority he could rely upon , ' I describing the case occurring last year, in a pan of the metropolis, where one of these licenced preachers was heard to hold forth for two hours and a half in a room crow-esti with people of the lowest order, and in which the most dangerous doctrines with , respect to zeligion were preached and insisted upon by the orator ; this person, his Lordship after iscrweirdptisostitateofd, i b n e d l e o p n e g e e d d e , n i t te s, be w li } e lo v m ed, b to e t r h e e g s a % r e d e ,. .... d t 'the most objectionable of all the classes of Dissenters. His object was to render all the son: yes of reLgices instruction as pure as possible ; and he trusted the*: Lordships would never he actuated by the broad fr. 1:.. cipn advanced by his N .ble Friend on a fl:tniz night, that all men were entitled to become rcligi re instructors who thought themselves qualified. At any rate, the Magistrates should not be allowed to re. main in ignorance as to the real meaning led intsa! of the Toleration Act, and with reference to what he proposed in the Bill, the opinion of the Learr.ed Judges, he thought, should be taken with 4nin a ort v dh ie eer e;o t ascertain what was the existing law epon the subject. 1 he tshbeiouridLor rejoice dship w v ere in in to cl a in co ed m to m e i n u t e e e rt i Lordships I those alterations might be adopted which were thought desirable ; the blanks could then be filled up. and the amendments made, when their Lordships generally, could better judge of the nature of the measure.— But if it should be the sense of their Lordships not to proceed farther with the Bill, at least some steps should be taken to ascertain the law, as he had meii tinned, for the guidance of the Magistrates. Who', he heard the sentiments avowed by the Noble Lords. upon both sides of the House—from those who were members of his Majesty's Government,as well as those who opposed them ; the one declaring, that the agita tion of the measure was improper under the circum. stances, the other, that no necessity at all existed ; he was not inclined to press the Bill, on the conviction that so opposed, he should be unable to carry it through, and on this ground only, not from any al. teration whatever in his own sentiments as to the me rits of the measure, he should abstain Irons opposing any motion made against its farther progtess. After thanking their Lordships, for their patient attention, the Noble Visccunt concluded b'y saying, he voted for the second reading of the Bill. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY rose, mil briefly delivered his sentiments on the occasion. Aiwa declaring his high respect for the principles of Tole. ration, he observed the Bible was a largess to 0 ..a.r. Christian Community, upon which individuals were at liberty to pit their own interpretation?. With re. Bisect to the Act so much adverted to, his Grace was of opinion, that as long as the establishment of the Church of England should endure, so long would the basis of that toleration remain undisturbed. If that esteblishment were no longer to endure, it may possi bly be otherwise as to a system of toleration. Wail respect to part of what had fallen from the Noble Viscount, he thought it would be highly desir.eae that a uniormity as to the interpretation of the ltw in these respects, and of the practice under it, should prevail throughout the kingdom. Tile conduct of the persons to be affected by the Bill, sheered they considered that the law remaining as it is, was of more value to them than the rtgulations Fri posed by the Noble Viscount would be: and it they were to be re. garded es the best judges of what Was benerici il to themselves, it would be unwise ar.d impolitic to press the Bill against the consent of all the Dissenters. Lord ERSKINE was ready to give full credit to the rectitude of the Noble Viscount's itnentions la bringing in the Bill ; but upon a closer examinatios of it, he was confident their Lordships would see that it was imposs.ble to entertain the Bill as it now mood. The Noble and Learned Lord then went into an et. position, both of, the 81l now betorathe House, and of the Toleration Act, which it professed to explain; and argued at some length to prove that it proceeded on a misinterpretation of the Toleration Act, and k went even to declare, as the law of tie land, what was not to be fund in the Act of Toleratio n. Such I a Bill, therefore, he should be surprised that his Noble and Learned Friend on the Woolsack e ould permit Ito be read a second time, muck more should he be surprised, if it would be allowed to go into a Com mittee. Besides. the Bell would not remedy the de fects and inconveniences of which it complained, while it would most grieVously affect, in many particulars , some of the most respectable descriptions of the l.Yis seaters ;, it would indeed place them in a situation, its which the law had not thought proper hitherto to con sider thew. His Lordship concluded with moving, That the Bin be read a second time this day six mortb. • • The LORD CHANCELLOR WAS convtnced thi: no man could consider points of this nature with met scrupulous attention and sincere re s p ect than l'-i Noble and Learned Friend. But they were not ts be viewed merely with the eye of a lawyer. Eve:! , Noble Lord must have observed ho w variously, is 1 different parts of the kingdom, the A ct of Toleratios was intepreted ; and how what was the law in Ca county, was not the law in another. It was this rant_ of uniformity which it was the object of his how! Friend to remedy, while, at the same time, it had al contemplation to keep religious instruction in contr . (tent, and not unsuitable hands. T he Bill might be much improved, or many of its objectionable pal got rid of in the Committee, if their Lordshipt winds permit it to proceed to that stage. However. sithil.uP such a measure might be necessary , it might perlo!‘ be as well not to press it at the present niement though the discussion 'of such a me asure might a t' be unproductive of a beneficial effect. Lord HOLLAND would not now go any lag ! into the question ; but felt it necessary to tete nos of some allusions made to himself, and to certaino! nions which he had professed on former occasions. was said that certain persons that were friendly to! Dissenters, had expressed their approb ation of tiler: sent measure, and even that the Dissenters thetuse7 did not disapprove of the adoption of such m __ ei"' _ -- _1 • ' - •• - •• ' - ' • ' s •S • . ~ •• • " • , - '• , •- ' .
