Many who were heartily in favour of dmestablishmeat
as an abstract principle were beginning to no that the
method of appropriating the funds of • dieestablished

hesitate in hurrying on disestablishineut. It could
not be too oonatanUy borne in mind, as •
warning sonnet the repetition of • similar

Winn the reverilou of i111,0u0.003 of national property
was gratuitously made over to Irish ludlorde, with the
object, not ambiguously avowed, of neutralising the
opposition of the landowning class. Too tranimoUoa
was lelioltously described at the Urn... griming the

oharacterised It as the corrupt and corrupting portion
if the Bill The proposal wan voted against by not
more than six :tench and Bailin Liberals. It was not
orpond, he believed, by • single member who was •
prominent advocate of the disostablishment of the

that the leaders of the movement in England were
prepared to Fay such a pries for dimetabllshmeut
