DECIASED win's SWIM BILL.

Mr. Wittman iotrodoced a petition to the House of
Lords in faeour of this Bill. and proposed that the
Mayor he requested to sign it in behalf of the Council.
MC CONWAY stroorly prothete I wand any such thing
being done. At a public body it was quite without their
preview..
Kr. BUDGE also objected to anything which savoured
of ;midis *anise before the Cocoon. Lord Wriontiore.. be
h.... woo writs,' on favour of the 8011, sod ho had no
doubt if Mr Western asked him he would vote for it, as
be had +lto before.
Kr Warman quite agreed th it ,t was not sales to intro-
does pilot cal matters into the C Ch wither. but this
he ountooded was sot • on.. in laiont. It was a soclal
question affecting them from the high at to the lowest in
the land, and he considered it port the duty of a
Connell to omelette iur to 0.1 *racial grievance. r.'
and removed. This meteor was an anomaly th 4 hefailted
to nadetstuid. He could not for the life of him c bm,i v.
why the bishops should b. so ant otontatio to the Bill. and
Yet at the same MU, I hop thews .Iyee were testy to conse-
crate other bishops who would go into their e .lonien and
when they got out there call down the bles-log of the
Almighty epos such marriages. Thies con.racts would
be regarded out there as perfectly bit, bit morally
and religoottoly. and yet At -a the patties to them on
their 'poppy Nguema* moth over to Region t, they would
lint they were 000trary to the laws of this country and
to the to.. of God. Such WI anomaly ought to to

:sant, and those repreeentativn had declared in favour of
the abolition of the low, yet whoa the measure got into
the Upset Howe. • few antiquated lords with the
bishops prevestad tie bolog carried into effect. The prosiest
state of things inflicted a cruel WOGS upon lathy, and it
was their duty. repreeseting the ratepayers. to endeavour
to get it removed. He had not it. slightest personal
Interest In the matter Mantel', but be tliought It cone
corned the welfare of the country.
Mr. Corrirrr rose to order, and the TOwe Cutig,
referring to WI Let, ruled that the sullotet could not be
brought forward at that meeting. The discassian was,
however. further prolonged.
Kr. Maya Was strongly in (avour of the Bill, butt. did
not think they could deal with the matter unless it was
on the &geode paper.
Mr. Bathrog knew such matters wore discussed by
other Councils. an 4 ho thought that being • rthrthent•-
tith body it was a legitimate subject for debate.
Mr. MODAL/ wet in favour of a petition from the
Council. He belle', el it would be the most effectors lefty
iLelysigng the foaling of the town. He hirers,' tram
in favour alit. MIL It was • most Iniquitous
thief that a man should he allowed to marry his dthethed
wit., sister in tse oat:mien and it.. when he came heck
to We country to spend hie few remaining days mil
the scathe of his early home, that he should be told Ms
wife was his mistress and his children bastards. At all
great timpani**s meetthes be believe, it was considered
well to have "a Ortaretted sidnals: Now, he happened
to be ono, for he was tbe son of • deemed wife's sister.
And when be told that to • Mood the other day he said
—" Then you era illeedmate," but he told blot no, for be
happened lob. born or. that abominable law had been
brought Into operation. He had heard Wally arguntallts
against the BM, and the throatiest which the opponents to
It pot forward wee that If the BM biome law children
would probably kess good sun* and lad bad mother..
That semned to his the weakest of all arguntelits that
weld possibly be adduced. He had had 60 year,' experiesee.
and beeould thly tray that la his own thee it... was sever
the slightest diffeethris made between the children of the
