EPISCOPAL AND CAPITUIAIt 'ESTATES
MANAUSMENT (No. 2) BILL.
ha the motion that this hill be read o third time,
Mr. HEN LV.V said that the further coosideration which
he had been enalibst to give to this memoir,: only con-
firmed the of he• had previously made to it. (Hear,
bear) Though it might aeon a paradox, he believed that
the measure would wurk injuriously both for the church and
for the lessees. Believing that parliament ought not to
legislate on so important a subject at so late a period el
the session, he should move that the bill he read a WA
bar that day .ix months.
Colonel 51111110 RP ft/filled the motion. lie suspected
there was some ine.in underhand *bled to be obtained by
so mueli haste.
Mr. J. A SMITH expressed an anxious hope that the I
house would agree to the third reading. (Hear, hear.)
The liniwes as a body were interested in the bill paining.
Mr. ALCOCii %Willi to state that he was perfectly
satisfied with the words about to be introduced for the pro-
tection of the interests of the lessees.
:iir 11. WILIA:GIIIIT hoped the Solicitor-General
would explain on what principle the property which fell
into the hands of the commistionen was dealt with. lie
believed it to be the fact, that in every case there was a re-
fusal to renew. It was the duty of the house to seam to
Use limo.. swine positive security, lest they should be ems-
petted to enfranehiee at all hazards.
Mr AOLIONBY said it was a monstrous proposition
that the less.," had nothing but A burr common right like
that of a tenant from year to year. The government
wished, he believed, to do justice to both parties ; but at
prevent the balmier was rather against the lessens. The
boll war, uo doubt, honestly framed, with a view to a settle-
ment of disputes which hail caused many heariburnings
between measlier' of the church of England, but no final
*Adornd could take place without compulsory enactments.
Mr. ILOUNDELL PALMIIIt said if he believed thee by
assenting to the bill he should manioc the views of the bon.
and learned gentleman (Mr. Aglionby) he should vote for
the amendment, but he believed that such would not be the
ease lie looked upon the claim of the lemmas in this light.
It was.. claim "1 the Part of private individuals 'aching
their own proate interest against the public, a claim
founded on no legal or equitable right —on nothing
but the fact of a course of mismanagement on the part of
thou• who were entrusted with the control of church pro-
perty, which had continued for a couriderable number of
year", from which the loaves as a bO4l, had
derived large benefit, and by which they heel to
a meted% extent been led to expect that they would mob
tines., to benefit. Similar mismenagemeut had existed Lob
case of crown lands. and be (Mr. R. Palmer) Inainnlinill
that no man could acquire a vested interest in the Meow
sagement of public property, well hennaing, or he ma
harp done throughout, that parliament might at up um
went interfere to correct abuses. lie admitted that them
might be eases in which it would be right to pay woos in-
card to espectationa. hut to say that the expectation, In
this rah' were encouraged by the legislature and on
unalterable custom, was to assert what was unfounded Is
fact Such a doctrine, if good for anything, would 11111..
Nish what was celled tenant right in Ireland. (Hese)
He should vote in favour of the third reading, because he be-
breed the bill would not pledge the house to any future
legislation which would recognise the alleged rights of
the tessera.
Mr. HHADLAM could not tse!p protesting against his
hon. and learned friend's (Mr. It. Palmer's) Tern of
the case of the lesser. It was neither for the interest of '
the church, nor for the interest of the public, that the
lessees should be unjustly or harshly dealt with.
After a few words from Mr. 13.4151UW, the *sentiment
was negatived without a division, and the bill read a third
time.
On the question that the bill do peas, the following elaume
were inserted on the motion of the SOLICITOR-11N inn
