LORD JOHN RUSSELL'S BILL
ON THE ASSUMPTION OF
ECCLESIASTICAL TITLES.

The bill proposed by the Premier, on the above
subject, is as follows :
Whereas by the Act of the lOth year of King George the
Fourth, chapter 7, after reciting that the protestant epis-
copal church of England and Ireland, and the doctrine,
discipline, and government thereof, and likewise the pro-
testant presbyterian church of Scotland, and the doctrine, di.-
cipliuc, and government thereof, w hereby the respective nets of
union of England and Scotland, and of Great Britain sod
Ireland, established permanently and inviolably, and that
the right and title of archbishops to their respective pro-
vinces, of Bishops to their sees, and of deans to their
deaneries, as well in Englund as in Ireland, had been settled
and established by law, it was enacted, that if any person,
after the commencement of that act, other than the person
thereunto authorised by law, should assume or use the
name, style, or title of archbishop of any province, bishop
of any bishopric, or dean of any deanery-, in England or
Ireland, he should fur every such offence forfeit and pay
the sum of one hundred pounds and whereas it may be
doubted wit, theri the recited enactment extends to
the assumption of the title of archbishop or
bishop of a pretended province or diocese, or archbishop or
bishop of a city, place, or territory in England or Ireland,
not being the see, province, or diocese of any archbishop or
bishop recognised by law ; but the attempt to establish,
under colour of authority from the see of Rome or other-
wise, such pretended sees, pros lams, or dioceses is illegal
and void, and the assumption of ecclesiastical titles in re-
spect thereof is inconsistent with the rights intended to be
protected by the said enactment: And whereas it is expe-
dient to prohibit the assumption of such titles in respect of
any places within the United Kingdom: be it enacted
therefore by the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty, by and
with the advice and consent of the lord. spiritual and tem-
poral, and commons, in this present parliament astenibled,
and by the authority of the same, Blat—
t. If, alter the toasting of this net, any person other than
a person thereunto authorised by law in respect of an arch-
bishopric, bishopric, or deanery of the waited church of
England and Ireland assume or use the name, style, or
title of archbishop, bishop or dean of any city, town, or place
or of any territory or district (under any designation or
description whatsoever), in the United Kingdom, whether
such city, town, or place, or such territory or district, he or
be not the see or the province, or co-extensive with the
province of any archbishop, or the see or the diocese, or co-
extensive with the diocese of any bishop, or the seat or place
of the church of any dean, or co-extensive with any deanery,
of the said united church, the person so offending shall, for
every such offence, forfeit and pay the sum of one hundred
pounds,* to be recovered as provided by the recited act.
9. Any deed or writing made, signed, or executed after
the passing of this act, by or under the authority of any
