The Commute' Imastnients to this Lill were agreed to.
CONSOLIDATED FUND (APPROPRIATION) DILL.
Un the third reeding of this bill,
Led MONTEAGLE took that opportunity of as
the high see which be felt of the manner in which the
country bed pound through at seasoned considerale difficulty.
Its cooker under that crisis was such as to commend the
admiration of that bowie and of the government. lie trate&
that diet Mediation would not be limited to sentiment merely,
bit the& governmext would at all times take into its moat
ccesiderrion ell measures seceemey to tLe well-
beteg of the people. He wee led to make theme observations
by a consideretion of the reps which had bean taken with
referents to the savings batiks. In the first place, the sp.
tom now existing hd this evil runt, that it threw the
sessegmeent of cortege banks upon those whom shoulders

In the seat phew, tine law gave the I Mena minister • power
over an itemenn sum of money, amounting to 3S miWoes.
At the present day, when the °Mee of Chancellor of the El-
chequer was held by a gentleman of the highest hewer sad
ability, be might make the obeervation what lie was about
to make without the slightest danger of its being taken in a
personal Bare; MUM be did not hesitate to say that the con-
-
trol of so large • sum opened a wide door for imptepur prac

seller of the Exchiqoar buying and riling pubic amities
for the rapes of soaking a prat to set og agalcot the lone
eastained by the state on the interest paid to strings Lank
depositors. lu former yews such a recite* would have been
deemed iregular, as the Chancellor of the Exchequer
did not stand on the same footing as ordinary
buyer. and sellers. The right honouraide gentleman
had advantages on his side which ordinary dealers could not
possibly peseta and with the aid of those edvantages ho
could go, and sometimes did go, into the market to operate at
the extreme of private buyers end sellers. For instance, this
happened in the course of the present year. There was a
coaratrable preware on the unfunded debt so miet so that
it was at • large discount, and two million:of savings bank
deposits were applied to the purchase .I'E:chequer-Ws. The
Beat of that operation was to bring up thin dseeriptim of
security to a premium, and when the time for to) ing them
et arrived, holders preferred to renew them at tans current
rate of intsrest. inunedistely afterwards, however, the
amount invested is the ExcLequer-bille as rer:ork.l to raded
securities, and Rultoper-bills fell again ig a discount.
The government greened by the operation., Li taus, it ens-
bled them to retinue on the same interest until the

with bigamy. coupled with enmity, coupled with
deastien, and coupled with neut. Subsequently
two more were added, namely, adultery under the
conjugal roof, and rape ; to which finally were
added unnatural crimes and bedWity. Here were a
author of changes in a bill on which the government had
in the fleet instance told them their minds were made up.
The neat important change was that the adulterer wax made
co-respondent, and in the other case the adulterese. That
um a most important change, and the government agreed to
it without a &noun. As the bill cants down adultery in
the petition was to be a coinplete bar to divorce, but in that
house the government left the question to the dficerei ion of
the court. They had added also materially to the dieter*.
lion of the court as to the dismissal of suite, in ease of
wilful neglect or niieconduet, which might have conduced to
the adultery. He was not saying that them i'bon-es were
improper, but that they had been made with full :went of
the government and that the lengthened discussion so much
cempleined of had not been raised In vain. Much might be
said us to whether they had been made with due delibera-
tion in those lengthened and exhaustive aittinge,
but he did not raise that question, he merely
recorded the changes themselves. He should now
call attention to 90100 of the changes that took place in lath-
moment stages. The find was to floe for adultery. A
strenge provision came down from the other teem inflicting
a fine without declaring R crime, whereas the practiced this
country was fur a jury tint to and guilty of a crime and then
aooms a line. The Attorney-General proposed an atuend•
meat applying this tine as conthensedion, thus bringing it
within the category of damages ; but the principle was found
to be untenable, and the claws was struck out. The Attor-
ney .General afterwards brought up • clause at the end of the
bill. They had been in the first instance told that they were
to get rid of scandal, but now by this clause the question was
Mill to he tried by s jury.
Mr. ATItTON—The action wee no longer essentbd to a
divorce.
Mr. HENLEY—It provided that the injured party
might apply ter damage., and the question was to
be decided by a jury ; and therefore he asked
whether, having gone through various degree* of
squeamishness, they hod got rid of the much deprecated
wended lt The neat important change was the appeal. As
the hill came to that house there was no appeal, except In
point of law ; but the hon. and learned gentleman at once
and there must be a general appeal, and the alteration was
made without a word of discussion. The last point respected
the opinions of the clergy. The point was unnoticed in the
Hun of Lorde, but the government themselves made a most
important alteration, which. although not satisfactory to every
one. was still a very considerable concession. Let theta
look to what would be the probable effect of all thaw altera-
tions. They bad got local courts, but he would ask any
wan whether this point had been fully discussed or whether
these courts were likely to work satightetorily t The govern-
ment had, no doubt, done what they thought beet, but there
had been no time to do the thing properly. They had got a
central court constituted, and its procedure sketched out. Ile
could not say anything shout the expense, but the hints that
had been thrown out were not very consolatory to the Mende
of cheep procedure. Petitions were to be presented to that
court, and various matters were to be provided for, which
would require time, and time In legal matters always meant
expense. The matter was to be decided by a jury, and then,
by a happy moisture of common law procedure and chancery
binangs, all the common law forms were to be introduced.
The court might have trials ed infinitum until its conscience
was satisfied of the facts. Well, that process gene through,
they came back to the court fur entente, and if that ern-
trace were not satisfactory, up everthing must go to the
House of Lords as at present ; and therefore he wanted to
know what they were to gain by their high venture legiela-
tion I' So much for litigated cues. Let him see whether
collusion would be better prevented. The action for erica.
con. mutt tube place, except that the party need not neeeseet-
rib, sae for damages. Under the old system the first thing wan
the action fur eriza. con., then the torture of the ecelevisaticel
courts, and lastly the investigation in the Howe of Lords,
PO that formerly collusion was almost impossible. But here
you would have only the simple issue before one court, and it
was eery to gnu whether collusion was to be most
easily detected by three court, or one. He thought he hot
now fully justified the long discussion. (" Hear, hear,"
from Sir G. Grey) Yee, the right hon. gentleman cheered
now but they allremembered how, mere than once, the
noble viscount had turned on them the fire-engine of his
wrath for tailing diecuseions. (Laughter.) He alluded to
those discussions, however because he believed that the
changes made hadnot been fully considered, and that the
bill was in so imperfect a state sa to be not likely to work
well as • law. In all the points he had enumerated he
thought that it had not had full consideration. and them they
would only turn out an imperfect meaeure, which would not
do credit to themeless or give satisfaction to the country.
Sir U. ORLY, having complimented the right bon. teem-
Ler on the tone sad temper of his speech, rematked that his
resume of the changes made was in ittelf the fullest answer to
the charge of the bill not having been sufficiently dinuesed.
As to its having come to that house a perfect bill, he (Sir G.
Grey) hadrid that the principled substitutinga regular judi-
cialcourt fertile greedier proceedines of parliament was a great
improvement, and was the object sought by the government,
but be had not said that there were to ben° alterations in the
bill as it came from the other house of parliament. Ile ad-
mitted that a greet ninny alterations bad been mode, but be
congratulated bluebell on the fiat that most of those altera-
tions had received the sanction of the right hon. gentleman
adfrom information he had received he wits led to anticipate
that the bill as altered was about on its third reading to re-
ceive the unanimous sanction of the House of Commons.
(Hear, hear.) Looking at the delicacy of the questions in.
volved, the government had thought it desirable that the bill
should pass during the present session, and he was happy in
thinking that they were about to be successful with the unent-
mons consent of parliament. As to theamendments, he thought
that the right hon. gentleman had attached to many of them
en undue importance. The increase in the number of
judge. was merely a question of dotal, and as to the action
for crime. con., the important distinction was that whereto at
present that scandal to our institatiens woo an indisionsable
preliminary, it would no low be squired previous to peti-
tioa. It was notorious thee die action was no ?needy

but a very few obsereations cm the course which it has now
adopted. I moot say that the course which has been adopted
by boa. gentlemen opposite hag been .creditable to them-
selves and respectful to the house. The natter has been
fully discussed, and while gentlemen opposite have nodu-
tuned their own opinion., not only by simple protest, but by
argutiteula wed in the course of the debate, still they have
not thought it necessary to take the formal step of dividing
the la men on the third reading. The noble lord, who has
just sat down, began a complete bill of indictment against me,
respecting the manner in which I, as leader of this house, have
"inducted the business of parliaruent. Ile has called down upon
me the censure of all the experienced and respectable members
of the home. I listened with some anxiety for the catalogue
of my criminal pmeeedings, but greatly to rip relief, and
somewhat to my surprise, the whole charge turned out to te-
ter exclusively to the proceedings on the present bill. Now,
, with regard to that bill, I beg to say that neither I nor any of
my colleagues asserted that it was to be hurried through the
house without full discussion, but when it came down from
the Lords the town rung with the declarations of those
opposed to it, that it should never be allowed to pass this
I home, for that the dimuation should be carried on from day
to clay and from night to night, until it should be impossible
, that it could peso. One does not like to allude
Ito casual expressman made In conversation by mem-
bers of this house, but one prominent member
on the opposite side said to me, "You never shall pan this
bill." To which I answered, " Won't we." (Laughter.)
The right hon. member for Oxfordabire maid !something about
the Greek Kalends, but afterwards explained his obeervations
to refer to another matter ; but my answer to all these threats
of obstrui lion and delay wee, " 11 e are ready to have dimue-
aka so long as any one wants to discuss : we are in no
hurry, and will sit until September, if neceseary." I
held, therefore, that the accumatiou of the noble lord, is un-
just es to our conduct being open to censure as a deure
tram the ordinaryand proper practice. Fur mysidf I enter-
tain the same opinion 1 always entertained—that there is a I
greet improvement as regards the law in this ',lmmure. When '
asked, we stated what were the intentions of government
with respect to the bill, but it did nut follow that it might
not lie improved by argument and dimussion. All measures
proposed to parliament are susceptible of improvement, and
the intentions of them who propose them must be subject to
such alterations as may occur to parliament. Two or three
points have been particularly dwelt on in the course of this
discussion, the principal one referring to clergymen who
may object to marry persona whose previous marriage nay
have been diescolved for adultery. The noble lord complains
that the concession we have made to the clergy is
not sufficient—(bear, hear) that we do not go
Per enough, and that our exemption is not founded on the in-
dismlubility of marriage. Now, I fairly own that I never gave
a more re:uetant consent to anything than I did to that
cause. (Hear, hear.) I did it solely in deference to the
feelings of a large body of the clergy, whoeefeelings —although
I thought them wrong—were, in toy opinion, entitled to
respect. (Hear, bear.) With regard to the indissolubility
of marriage, it is totally imponsibie to admit that plea. (Hear,
hen.) I deny that there In anything encouraging such a
plea in the doctrine. of the Church of England. (Hew, bear.)
Look at the twenty-fifth article of that church, and you will
see the direct contrary there affirieed. The article says,
"That matrimony is a state of life allowed in Scripture,
but having nothing in common with or of the nature of a
sacrament, inasmuch as it has no visible sign, and or cere-
mony appointed by Gad." It in, therefore, impossible that
any men can maintain that marriage is on religious grounds
a tie that cannot be dissolved. (Near.) I concur in every
argument that has been used by the Attorney-General, and I
trim that the clergy will understand the feeling which has
induced the government to agree to the concession. I trust
?boy will not understand it as the concession of a principle
which, if established, would in toy opinion be very detri-
mental to the interests of the Church of England. (Hear.)
The Church of England has hitherto held its
ground because It differed from the churches of other religions
in never assuming to itself the right of being so ecclesiastical
inquisition. The clergymen of the Church of England have
contented themselves with beingthe guides, instructors, and
friends of the laity, and have found the only source of their
influence in the superior purity of their lives. But if they
should think that this concession entitles them to asinnie to
themselves that authoritative interference in the affairs of
private life, which is too frequonly assumed by the clergy of '
other countries, I am afraid they would do the greatest possible
injury to the church, and establish a feeling in the laity
towards the church very different from that which is en-
tertained at present. (Hear) A few years ago I was talk-
ing to a distinguished person belonging to one of the central
states of Italy, and was urging on him the injustice of
preventing converts adopting the protestant faith. His
reply was that if they did not make conversion a punishable
offence the people would all become protoatents. (laughter.)
" What," said I "do their religious opinions hang so loose
on them, or do they with so earnestly to become pro-
tettantal" He paid, You misunderstand ;it is not from
religiouit conversion that the people would became pro-
testanta, but from their wish to withdraw themselves from
the tyranny and oppreadou of the priests." (Hear, hear.)
I am afraid that if the clergy of the Church of England
depart from the course they have hitherto punned they will
inspire feeling. not unlike those which my friend stated to
bare existed in central Italy. (Hear, hear.) The
other provisions of the bill have been too fully discussed
to render it necesaary fur me to enter further into
them. I think that the bill has been improved in its course
through this house ; and I trust that when it goes back to
the other house of parliament those learned peewee who
oritinally had charge of the bill will me remswee es adept the
amendments we have made, many of white hod the fall con-
currence of those in this house who opposed the bill ea
principle. It cannot be mid that the bill has keen discussed
by insufficient numbers, because the first modes respecting It
wee decided by a house of 347 members, a very sufficient
and considerable number; and in the subsequent stages
of the bill large numbers also voted. This I may
say, that on every division those who affirmed the
principle of the bill were at least two to one. (Herkimer.)
1 should hardly hove thought it neoessary to rise for the few
remarks I have had to wake if I had not embed to take this
opportunity—probably the Let I shall have—of directing the
attention of the house and the country to the course which
this House of Commons has pursued since the last general
election. I think that that course has been highly creditable
to gneßmset, and I. calculated to inspire in the country con-
fidin those who have been elected. (Cheers.) In the
Iset glom although the present Home of Commove was
showed at a period of great political excitement, and
