The House resolved itself into a Committee on the'•Custolns Fees Bill. ' The, 1- . ‘RCHBISIfOP - of CANTERURY objeEted to the clause for enforcing the attendance of the Clerks and Officers of the Custom-hOnse on all Holidays,. except Good Friday and. Christinas-day, .which considered as a legislative, mode of putting: down those' flolidays which had been considered, by our ancestot's - as 'essential to the keeping in mind the history of the Christian Religion. He thought . that the whole'of them ought tO be restored in the Bill ; bUt if that was not to be effeded, he 'should propose. to restore a feW of them which were immediately conne&ed with the history of our Savibur. Lord GItNNT.ItLE defended the Clause on the ground of commercial convenience. Many of-these holidays had not for some'time been kept with any view to the purposes of religion,.and there appeared to lihn no.auriicient -reason why the Merchants of London.should experience so'much inconvenience from being unable to trans* business at the Custom House on so many days on which all other business was transacSted as usual. The AlIQIIBISHO!, Of .CAt4TERBVRY, referring to his former. arrument, proposed to insert; as holidays to be kept, .trle Epiphany and Ascension Day. . The Bishop. of ST.,ASAPH supported the,' a- meats of the. Archbishop of Canterbury, and pro pnsed, in addition, the Annunciation, and St. John the Baptist.
