On the order for consideration, with a view to third read-
ing, of the Newry and Greenore Railway, Pier, and Wet
Dock Bill,
Mr. HORSFALL moved, as an amendment, that the bill
be read a third time this day two months.
Mr. ADAIR, as the chairman of the committee to whom
the bill was referred, explained that an application was
made for the recommittal of the bill by the committee
themselves, and this seemed to be the point on which diffi-
culty was raised. He hoped the house would allow the bill
to proceed to another stage.
After some conversation, in which Mr. Massey, Sir H.
Cairns, Mr. C. Fortescue, Mr. F. S. Powell, Mr. Morrison,

This bill was read a third time and passed.
LAND TAX COMMISSIONERS NAMES BILL.
This bill, as amended, , was considered and ordered for
third reading to-morrow.
AUGMENTATION OF BENEFICES BILL.
The house went into committee on this bill.
Lord HOTHAM inquired whether under this bill the
Lord Chancellor would be able to sell a vacant living.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said certainly not.
That would be a simoniacal proceeding opposed to the ge-
neral law of the land.
Mr. AYRTON moved, as an addition to clause 2, that
the Lord Chancellor should not be permitted to sell any
living to a person other than one interested in the parish,
and a member of the Church of England. He considered
the bill a most vicious one, and that it would be a great
scandal to the Church.
Sir G. GREY thought that such restrictions would de-
feat the bill
The SOLICITOR GENERAL said the only object of
the bill was to do that which had already been done under
the Church Building Acts, namely, to transfer patronage in
return for endowments.
Mr. HENLEY considered that the principle advocated
by Mr Ayrton was a sound one.
A very long discussion on the point ensued, and at length
the committee divided—
For Mr. Ayrton's amendment
Against it
Majority —2B
The amendment having been lost, the clause was agreed to.
Clauses down to 30 were agreed to.
On clause 31, relating to secretary of presentations,
Mr. C. BENTINCK said the office was worth £4OO a
year, and it was a mere sinecure. He had held the office
himself when Lord St. Lecnards was Chancellor. This
clause provided for an increase of salary, and he moved, as
an amendment, that it be struck out.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said the new bill would
create a large amount of duty, and the increased amount of
stipend would be merely temporary. All the bill did was to
enable the Lord Chancellor to remunerate the seeretarf for
any additional duty he might be called upon to perform.
The committee divided—
For the clause 24
37
Against it
Majority

Tne clause was Sus lost.
