effect a change in the present stets of thing& the
noble lord *nohow I that the question was one that we.
surrounded by difilsoltios, but he regarded favourably
the plan of Earl Grey for diminishing the revenues at-
tached to the Established Church, and dividing them
between that choreh and the Roman Catholic and Pres-
