THZ BURIAL LAW.
In the House on Wednesday Mr. Balfour moved the
woad reading of the Burial Law Amendment Bill, which,
he said, had three objecte—to relieve the clergy of the
Church from certain grievances under which they
laboured, to preserve the endowments of the Church for
the purposes to which they were dedicated, and to relive
La nonconformists of the dissbilities of which they
complained. It declared the light of every man to be
buried in the churchyard of the parish in which he died;
but it accompanied it with the previa:, that there should
• be no cemetery within three moles, and that the land had
not been given for the purposes of banal within the lad
fifty years. It also required that the burial should be
celebrated with • rragioue etrvice of a solemn and
Christian eharacter, such as might be acceptable to the
friends of the deceased. Mr. Bereeford Hope moved the
reyeetion of the bill, and a debate followed, which wa
adjourned.
