of drunkenness and something like habitual ' drunkenness
had been so far proved.' as to present prima facie evidence

EPISCOPAL AND c.tPITITLIIC ESTATES BILL.—The Mar-

that all the profits of such estates shall be received and
managed by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. The latter will
enter into an agreement with bishops as soon as their (episco-
pal), real estates become- subject to the management of the
commission for the payment of incomes. A committee )f the
Ecclesiastical Commission, tobe called the " Episcopal Estates
Committee," will have the charge and management of all the
vested estates. This committee will consist of a triad of mem-
bers, viz., the First Church Commissioner, a lay member,. to
be appointed by the Queen, and a third, to be named by the
bishops.. The second and' third members of the committee
will receive salaries of £1,000:- Existing bishops may =lie
armngements affecting future. ones. Bishops may take and
farmlands not exceeding 100 acres. The commissioners may,.
in certain cases, place tithes under the bishops' control. Deans
and chapters of cathedrals are to furnish the Ecclesi-
astical. Commissioners with statements of their entire charges
and outgoings, to be certified by the visitor of the cathedral,
and, when the correctness of such statements has been estab-
lished to the satisfaction of the commissioners, provision will
be made for the payment of such charges, &c. The deans and
chapters will also supply a return of moneys received by them,:
and; tlie• deficiency will be made good by the commissioners.-
After three years the management of real estates may, if the
dean and chapter require, be transferred to corporations aggm-
gate.
