71 RN PIKE TOLLS EXEMPTION (SCOTLAND) BILL

- -
In the mafiosi for gang late committee on this bill,
Mr. BLACKBURN moved that the bill be committed
chit day sit months. He objected to all exemptions, and
thought it would be better to restrict exemptions than
to extend them. He did not see why persona bemuse they
them.elves clergymen should be exempted from pay-
intitolls in their own parishes.
Mr. RUCH hNAN mid that the clergy whom it was pro-
posed to exempt by this bill only wished to be placed on an
equality with the clergy of the established church who were
now exempt.
Mr. STH:LING mid that it was very difficult to know
who wise a clergyman in Scotland. The marriage law in
Scotland was so wide that it was difficult to know whether
any Scotchroan was married or not. (Laughter.) So preach-
ing and listening to preachers we. so common • thing in
Scotland that it was no easy matter to decide who was or
was not a clergyman. He thought It would be better to
introduce a hill to abolish the existing exemptions.
Mr. POLLARD.URQUHART said that se a trustee of
a turnpike-rout in Scotland. M might observe that with
the tendency to preaching which existed in Scotland, there
would be a danger that persons would become clergymen
for the purpose of avoiding the payment of the tolls.
(Laughter.)
Mr. M(. RE hoped the bill would be allowed to go into
committee. In committee some alteration might be made
so as to obviate the objections which had been urged.
Mr. LESLIE said that if they west into committee he
certainly should move the insertion of • clause to admit the
medical profession in Scotland to the privilege of exemption
from tolls.
After a few words from Mr. Bruce, Sir G. Montgomery,
and Mr. Stewart,
Mr. DUNLOP contended that the present exemption had
long existed, and that it had been proposed to remind
it. It was only reasonable, however. that It should be di-
tended to the etiolates of other denominations. Ttos dame
would clearly limit the exemption to persons In charge of
congregations in particular places of worship, and therefor*
there could be no difficulty as to who were to be considered
Tr inisteri.
