CDRATER STIPENDIARY BILL.

The Furl of sed the
tidal reading of this Bill. lit argued. that the
pnwiatOUS *Wild have At pernicious effect upon the
establishment of the Church. The filth part of the
bicnnihent'a income being granted to the Citrate.
would operate as a tux upon the improverneots of
the former. Ile had heard that an iutimatioo had
been gis en. in another place. that there would he a
Parliamentary iurestigatiou into the question of
tithes; and no plasm more readily than himself
would 1w disposed to accede to uny measures attach
might. by such consideration., promote the interests
of the Chard', awl the peace of society. The
R. rot complaint. which ays uoiyersally said to be
raimsl lo,..ainst tithes was, that they operated us a
tax up nu industry. His Lordship observed, that
one of the sproycalins of the present Bill. in respect
to the (hill, acted us a tax upou the incumbent ;
and condo led a re able speech.. by gestating
out the litigation and discord to utile° it might
give birth. •
Lord 114RRoRir defended lice measure; it was
one of which the .iororiety oriel existent evil declared
th.• rsect...!ty. It was well kuown. that io oil port.,
of the kingdom there had been great reurame.s
in inetttniwat- fur west of resideisee. The preseat
Bill merely presided agiii.seit that ninorieus evil.
and also took care that a tlescre;:ig class. of the pros

services than they hitherto hail 'Weds 001 account •.•
the avarice of incumbent, In souse instances
were the of wretches. in respect to the cum-
farts of life, and it was full time some :setter prof,-
sloe should be made fur them by the Isegislatore.
His Lordship deie ided the tureen, from the chaeAr
of the Noble liars, that it would premiere nottiii.e,
big laisene,l. and whatever trouble it iii,4ist give the
Bettrend Predates, he woo outelirri tb.•s w sold not

was one of the most ins podent cases that
ever foetid its road to a Court of Justire.--.
There was an Attorney. ohs lived in a ansasi
house adjoining to that of the Rector ; they
lived upon those terms of friendship and intimacy
which ought *Mays to 'subsist betwer.i the pastor
and his Hock. The Attoruey had a large family.
but the Clergyman was not married ; therefore it
was agreed they should chalize their dWell las. the
Paraonage-house from its size better 'ultimo( ex.
Atternee's family, mid it was also &Alerd that
a certain sum should he given the Cleiransan
as a compenaitioa for the different value of
the houses. this Clervulau having occur led
the small house during all that time. as astral
performed the duties of his office. and in his
general character was uncommonly esteem-
ed and beloved. At the cud of the first year,
what did this nun of the law do i• why. upon tlm
Clergyman's asking hits for the slue they agreed
should he paid, he and, he owed nothinz. The
Clerianiao resucustrated with hint. upon bis coo-
tie. to whicli he replied, il'ies;that is certainly
troy, hut you smut recollect you owe me MI. fur
Iton-residence in the parronage.bouse." The
Attorney had the impudence to sue for this
soft and a Court of law 1141 obliged to grant
it. Another bill hod been introduced. to alter
the law of Deo-residence, and to stop the cal
isa gentlemen. That hill had been improperly
termed his Bill, and no that occasion he had not
been candidly dealt with by some of the Reverend
Prelates. which would snake him cant Cu,' hos he
supported them in a similar measure. ilia lord-
ship, in a very able speech, commented ulna
many of the prow/nous of the Rill. as. likely to
create di,:co;d and prove ineffectual, but he should
wish to it u.le himself by the information of the
Reverend Prelates.

The Bishop of !locality" considered the Bill
In he inefficaeiant. and valid not operate at all

The &shop of Batsrot also spoke oa the same

rate. by raisioz hip one year to the enjoyment of'

duc.ed to keep a horse, which wotild- entice him
from his home to phn•ee of anistsewent, remote from
the interest of Ibis parishioners. In various points
of view it was, it his opinion, capable of producing
considerable iniachicf.

he huthop of LON owl did not think it neces-
sary to reorpitalate the observations he had of-
ft red in a previous stage of the discussion. lle had
heard much of the violence imputed to it, and the
alleged invasion it was supposed to make on the
property of the beneficed Clergy. Ile did not see
auv such operation in the measure, but even if it
had that effect, it ens also to lie found in the Act
or the 31ith of His present Ilajesty, which had
tendered sumo manure of the present kind abso-
lutely necesary.
Lord IlAtyttesttUßY adverted to the understand-
ing under e Melt the Residence Bill, two years past„
had been adopted by the Legislature. He parti-
cularly dwelt upon the general feeling, that e hen
it !noised the House, a Substantive Bill would lie
brought forward to ameliorate the situation of Cit-
rates, who were actually its the ',et formance of the
ditties of their intrish. Ile ronsideted the present
Bill one which might produce great good, but
could not effect any mischief.

The Bishop of i.osi DON, sad the LORD CHAR-
CRII.I.OI, mutually ewlained.
The question for the third reading was then put,
and uegutired without a divisiou.
