JUNE 9, 1852.

Mr. YORKE—That is denied by Mr. Cruttwell.
Sir B. HALL—It was denied by Mr. Miller, but stated by
Mr. CruttwelL But this was not the real question at issue.
The real question was, what ware they, to do in these lament-
able circumstances? Ia his district there was a Protestant
eleri-,,:yman who, although performing Divine service in the
Church of England, attends .d a Roman Catholic piece of
worship Sunday after Sunday. A gentleman who saw him declared his readiness to come forward and verify the fact
that he crossed himself; made the various genuflexions, and
remained (luring the whole time of service; that he went
there again the following Sunday, and yet that man per.:
' formed Divine service is the church of St. Andrew's, Wells-
street.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") It was said, why did
they not go into the ecclesiastical court of Wells ?
But would anybody, under such circumstances, go there,
when the Bishop had just appointed his own son to preside
over it. He believed Mr. Bennett had been the means of
converting many persons to the Church of Rome. Did the
Hon. Gentleman not know that, connected with th 3 church
of St. Barnabus was a conventual establishment, and that
the daughter of a Right Hon. and Learned Gentleman, once
a Member of that House, was at the head of that establish-
ment—that the father of the lady had begged of Mr. Bennett
to use his influence and endeavour to induce her to retrace
her steps ? And did he not know that that Rev. Gentle-
man, who was now the pastor of Frome, had refused to listen
to the prayers of the parent; and that the daughter, and all
the ladies associated with her, had gone over to the Church
of ILome.—(Hear, hear.) Did not Lord Colcllester cite the
case of another lady where a similar result had taken place?
This man bad been proved to have been trifling for some
time with Sir John Harrington, of whom they had bean
told by the Right Hon. Gentleman, the Member for the
Unliersity of Oxford, that:he had been justified in leaving
the Church of England, because he had a congregation of
his own—

upon the speech of the Honourable Member for Cocker-
mouth, and considered that the issue of the inquiry was
the conduct of the Bishop of Bath and Well F, that inquiry
was to lead to a censure upon thn conduct of the Bishop of
Bath and Wells, or to an impeachment on the part of some
Members of the HOLM of Commons agaieet that prelate,
and when it was notorious that the Bishop refusing ins-itu-
Con would have incurred the &Mile proceeding of a writ of
quare impedit and duplex quceiel, the proposition could not be
entertained. In the present state of the law the Bishop
could not have acted differently, and under these circum-
etances, he (Mr. Walpole) hoped the Hon. Member would
ant :press his motion to a division. It it was pressed, he
trusted the House would eject it, as he considered it to be
both unreasonable and unjust.
Mr. DEEDES explained that what he desired was a dis-
tinct declaration on the part of the Government that they
desired no alteration in the existing law.

words. Certain parties were accused of murder, and certain,

of Cambridge attempted to lead the from
Huse the
tinquiry in which they were most intereosted, anawa dy to which
hey at this moment seemed to be most inclined. It would
be making their proceedings perfectly ludicrous and ridi-
culous to adopt such a suggestion. (Hear.) The motion con-
templated inquiry into the institution of the Rev. Mr. Bennett
and the conduct of all the parties implicated in the circum-
stances in question. A maxim in our law provided that
there should be no grievance without a remedy. A grievance
had been shown in this case, but where was the remedy?
While every one admitted the grievance, not one had sug-
gested a remedy. Was the grievance to remain unredressed,
or was the House of Commons still to say they would do no-
thing? He had brought this subject forward without having
any knowledge of the parties at From° ; indeed, he lead made
it a rale to take up no subject on merely local grounds. lle
had selected it as a type of an abuse.
The House then divided, when there appeared—
For the motion ... .. 156
Against it

MAYNOOTII.

Mr. GLADSTONE said that he had distinctly contra-
dicted that statement before.

Sir B. HALL was not aware that the Right Hon. Gentle-
man had done so, or he would not have made the observa-
tion. He would ask the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Glad-
stone) to say candidly what ought to be done under such
circumstances? Let the Bishops, who were the persons that
ought to be'most desirous of reforming the ecclesiastical law
of the country, exert themselves in their places in the other
House of Parliament to effect this object. The Government
had intimated that even if they appointed a Commission to
inquire into this subject, the Bishops would not answer the
questions that would be put to them.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—No, no.
Sir B. HALL—WeII, then, let them have a Committee,
and request the Bishops to appear before it, and if they then
refused to do so theresponsibility would be on themselves.
Mr. E. YORKE wished to make an observation in refer-
ence to the young lady who'had been alluded to by the Hon.
Baronet. His impression was this, that the young lady her-
self was always restrained by Mr. Bennett from going her own
way to the Church of Rome.—(Laughter.) He thought
that his word was as good as that of the Hon. Baronet's.
The report then was, that the young lady had a strong in-
clination to go to Rome, but was restrained, up to a certain
point, by Mr. Bennett. But as soon as Mr. Bennett left tit.
Barnabas she went to Rome.—(Hear and laughter.)
Mr. NEWDEGATE next rose, amid loud cries for a divi-
sion. He thanked the Hon. Member for Cockermouth for
the very able manner in which he had brought this subject
under the notice of the House. Whatever might be the re-
sult of the division, he trusted that one good effect of bring-
ing forward the subject would be to lead to an alteration in
the state of the existing law, and he was anxious to hear,
from her Majesty's Government whether they were prepared
to consider the state of the law in the next session, and to in-
troduce some measure which would prevent men from hold-
ing benefices in the Church of England who had been con-
ticted of unsound doctrines and the encouragement of Romish
practices.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said—This
discussion, Sir, has tended very much to clear the case since
it was brought under the notice of the House. We have com-
pletely investigated the position of the Bishop of Bath and
Wells with respect to these circumstances, and I think I.
do not misinterpret the general feelings of the House if I
describe it as one which would be extremely reluctant, by
any vote which it could arrive at, to throw any censure upon
the conduct of that prelate.—(Hear, and cries of " Oh, oh.")
It may be certainly very easy for Honourable Gentlemen to
sneer at that statement; bat I think after a calm and ample
discussion, so ably conducted as this has been, we must ar-
rive at the conclusion that however many of us may regret
the institution of the individual who has become the vicar
of Frome, it is impossible for us to assert, by a vote of this
House, that it was the duty of the Bishop of that diocese to
prevent that institution; nay more, I think that we have,
most of us, arrived at this conclusion, that had the Bishop
of the diocese thrown any difficulties in the way of the in-
stitution of Mr. Bennett, he would have incurred very
perilous consequences. In the present state of the law, I
think it quite impossible that the House should come to
any vote which would in fact cast upon a Bishop of the
Church of England a condemnation, simply because he Has
done that which all must admit to have been strictly his
legal duty, and which if he had not fulfilled would have
involved him in the most serious injury. I consider
the question of the conduct of the Bishop of Bath
and Wells to be perfectly distinct from those which have
occurred with respect to the present vicar of Frome.---
(Hear, hear.) But at the same time I cannot but remember
that it is only the conduct of the Bishop with which we have
to deal.—(Hear, hear.) When this question was first brought
nnderthe notice of the House, I took the liberty of stating
with respect to the point of the ability which the parishtonera
of Frome should have of challenging the institution of one
who was to become their vicar, that if the state of the law did
not afford a remedy. then, I thought, it was our duty to
supply one. Generally speaking, that is a principle which I
think ought to guide us under these most painful circum-
stances. I cannot think, with the Hon. Gentleman the
Member for the city of Oxford, that there is no remedy for
the parishioners. I must still repeat, acting on the opinions
that have been given me, and confirmed by my own in-
quiries—the opinion I have expressed before in this House,
that there is a remedy for the parishioners of any living
placed under the circumstances in which the parishioners of
Frome are placed, and that that is a remedy for which they
need not go to any ecclesiastical court, or have recourse to any
ecclesiastical law. But I will not enter into that question again,
which we have before urged, because I am willing to admit
that there is not sufficient facility or opportunity for parish-
ioners placed in the situation of those of Frome to obtain
that relief and redress which they have a right to expect.
But so far as the prospect* mottUn is concerned, it is really
the institution of Mr. Bennett into the vicarage—and that
is the act of the diocesan—which we are called on to inquire
into. I must repeat my opinion that the coneuct of the
Bishop of Bath and Wells cannot fairly be called in ques•
tion. But if we were to appoint a Committee, let the :House
consider what will be the duties of that Committee. Their
duties would not be, I apprehend, to rake-up evidence with
a view: to institute proceedings against the Bishop. Well,
then, what is the duty of that Committee? Is it to be a
Committee to consider the state of the law? In my opinion
this is hardly the moment in which we shouldappoint a
Committee to consider the state of the law with respect to
the institution of persons into beneficies, and which cer-
tainly I do not think a Committee of thei House of Com-
mons the best instrument to carry on with effect. I have
been asked by my lion. Friend the Member for Warwick.
shire to give a pledge on the part of the Government that
they will take into consideration that important subject, the
state of the law with respect to the institution to benefices. I
am sure my Hon. Friend will not press me to give a pledge on
a subject of so grave and difficult a character. But that it is
a subject which must engage, sooner or later, the considera.
tion of any Government—that the state of our ecclesiastical
laws is one that cannot be much longer tolerated—(Loud
cheers) —and that with respect to the ecclesiastical courts, we
should follow the same course of temperate and efficient
reform which we have applied to all the other means ofjudi-
cature in the country—these, I think, arc opinions which
few of us do not share, and certainly they are sentiments on
which the Government are prepared- to act. I trust the
Hon. Gentleman the Member for Cockermouth will not ask
the House to come to a decision on this motion. If indeed
he persists in so doing, although I myself most sincerely re-
gret much that has occurred at the vicarage of Frome, and
although I will not at this moment go out of my way to
offer any criticism on the conduct of other individuals con-
cerned; in these transactions, because I feel it is unneces-
sary to-night, especially whin the conduct of one individual
alone is called in question—still, if the Hon. Gentleman
asks me to support this resolution to appoint a Committee to
investigate the conduct of the Bishop of Bath and Wells,
with respect to hiscompletion of an act which I do not think
he could have refused to fulfil, I shall feel it my duty to offer
a negative.—(Cheers.)
Mr. ELLICE said he saw all the difficulties of the case— ,
he saw all the objections to the appointment of a Select Com-
mittee—(Hear, hear)—but he could see no other remedy for
the grievance complained of—(dear, hear)—except an in-
quiry—not directed personally against the conduct of the
Bishop of Bath and Wells, but into all the facts of the case,
in order to ground thereon further proceedings with respect
to the state of the law— (Hear) —which gave no relief to
parties complaining of this grievance.—(Hear, hear.) Upon
this ground he should vote for the motion, seeing no other
meani of redress.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. MOODY thought that if an inquiry was instituted
into the occurrences in London it would be trying Mr. Ben-
nett twice over. The question they had to deal with was
not an individual question, but was one as regarded the I
Church at large. t appeared to him that there was a
very easy remedy in such cases as the one complained of.
He thought a Commission might Ineissued with reference to
what had taken place abroad, as well as to what had oc-
curred at home.— (Hear, hear.)
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said there was nothing in
the motion which impugned the conduct of Mr. Bennett.
(Hear, hear.) It was for an inquiry into the circum-
stances attending hisinstitution, and was directed entirely
against
Bath and Walls.—(Hear, hear.) The
the Bishop of
Bishop, however, in the institution, had only done
what by law he was bound to do ; and as far as he
was
in-
quiry. Then as concerned, therefore, there was no ground for the
to the state of the law some misconception
existed
if it were proved that Mr. Bennett, by preach-
ing or ' for
teaching, by act or word, showed unsoundness of
doctrine, it ..was competent for the parishioners to put the
law in motion against hlmeunn as to his past conductder the Church Discipline
Act—(Hear, hear.)—and even
a commission could issue
ll in respect of anything said or
done in this country within two years past.—(Hear, hear.)
Looking, however, to the state of the ecclesiastical courts of
the country---:lleac, hear)—to the practice of those courts,
expense;metimes excessive—incurred in the
and the
d' s—(Hear, hear)—a remedy was loudly
justest proceedings—(
called for.—(Hear, hear.) It would be impossible to enter
into that inquiry now, but he hoped that
and equity
the reform
•
place in our courts of law y
which had taken
would at the proper time belextended to ethe ecclesiastical
courts.—(Hear.)
hen DEEDES was disappointed at the answer of the
Chancellor of the Exchequer as to future legislation—.(Hear.
liar)— o
the speech of the Solicit or-General as to the
state
law, which had not encouraged any hope of
erthde
something being
done to niece it in a more satisfactory con-
ditionn--( hear.) It was shown that the law was 11".r'
in-
accessible to individuals, and that, therefore, something was
be doue.—(Hear.) He regretted the state of
n„Teesssarwy o
hti had been disclosed as to the position of the
Church—(Hear')
uwles9 ) Ha was anxious to put au end to it,
and at the same time was anxious not toh impute blame to
any party unjustly.--(l.lear.) But, as t cre was promote
of any alteration of the law, he =stein order to p
this, object to vote for the motion.— (Hear.)
II r could not express how strongly
Mr. SIDNEY
pained by the statements that had been made. He I
whea3w: tisethat the question before them should be strictly
looked into, and that members of the Church should have
means of redress without the necessity of corning to that
House, which was not well suited for questions of the kind.
t Than hear.) The Bishop of Bath and Wells, it was clear,
could have refused the induction, without risking an
action at
law for his refusal.
Mr. WALPOLE begged to be permitted to address one
word to the House in consequence. of what had fallen frcm
the Hon. Member for West ;neat (Mr. Deedes). That Hon.
Gentleman• lie thought, had entirely mistaken the reply of
his Right Hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer, to
the appeal of the Hon. Member for Cockermouth. The in-
quiry would have been acceded to if it had been put, as
;uaiested by the Right Honourable Member for Coventry
(Mr Lilice). But when 145 (Ur. Walpole) reflected

Mr. BROTHERTON then moved the adjournment of the
House.

Mr. OSWALD inquired when it was the intention of the
Member for North Warwickshire to bring on the adjourned
debate on the ➢laynooth grant?
Mr. SPOONER said he must refer the Hon. Gentleman to
the rebolution of the Holm.. That would bo decided when
tho other orders were a10r...,1 or.
Mr. NEWDEGrATE said it was I,to intention to
the sense of the•liouse on the question of the adjourn-
Ment of the debate. It was now determined to &feat a
decision on that question by a factious opposition; but the
attempt of the Member for Salford to get rid of the
question would be frustrated, for he would take the
sense of the House on the question when the dropped order
for the resumption of the debate on the Maynooth grant
came on.

Mr. ANSTEY would be no party to a postponment of
the decision on the Maynooth question, and he hoped the
Member for Salford would press his motion.
Mr. BROTHERTON had no intention to get rid of the
question, but to get rid of the House.—(Laughter.) They
had been already sitting fourteen hours, and he was deter-
mined to press his motion to a division.
Mr. HINDLEY thought the proposal of the Member for
Salford most reasonable, and he hoped the Government
would support the motion for the adjourarnent of the
House.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
:hought the House had sat long enough.
The House then adjourned at Half-past One o'clock.

TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD
REFORM ASSOCIATION.

(CONTINtiED ON MONDAYS AND WEDNESDAYS.)
Sir,—On Monday the 7th of June, the Militia Bill
was read a third time, and a Clause added, extending
• certain exemptions to the Universities of London and
Darham. _ Amendments directed to limit the powers of
the Bill, were negatived by majorities of 187 to 142,
and 178 to 82. A pozition had been ably taken up hy
the Governimmt, in making the application of a con-
scription permissive and not obligatory;- the effect of
which was to diminish opposition by making the danger
more obscure. At the same time, the resistance to the
Bill has baen wanting in tronc.:ntration and vigour; ex-
hibiting an inclination to be prepared with en answer to
constituents, rather than the steady adhesion of men
conseientionqly desirous of falling in the last ditch.
Oa Tuesday the House met at noon to proceed with
the question of Maynooth. After a few prehminary
speeches of no great length, en orator from Catholic
Ireland, as the Americans say " occupied the floor,"
till the hand of the clock reached four, and the
debate died a natural death. Without following
him through his details, one thing he proved, which
is sufficient to dispense with all the rest; and that is
• that the House is now called, upon to institute an in-
quiry, while there is all the time a legal method of
inquiry directed by Act of Parliament. Why is not
the House of Commons to institute an inquiry into the
cases which may be now in hand at the Old Bailey,—or
into the more complicated mysteries pending in the Court
of Chancery? Simply because there is a legal appa-
ratus already for those very purposes, and it would be
simple foolishness for the House of Come:tem to erect
itself into a new tribunal.
At six came on Mr. Horsnaan's motion for a Select
Committee to inquire into, the circumstances connected
With the institution of thellev. Mr. Bennett to theVie.arage
of Frome. Some strange points appear to be established.
It sec auto be avowed, that a bishop is powerless for good,
and by consequence if be has any strength it is for evil.
lAmong other things, it is declared that nothing a

Messrs. Taylor and Brig-ht's Circular states :—A good
deal of rain has fallen at intervals during the past week—it was
much needed for spring corn and grass, and has come too
late to prevent a light hay crop. The transactions of the past
week have been on a very limited scale, but each description of
spring corn has somewhat increased in value, with limited ar-
rivals and small stock in warehouse. We had a fair supply of
wheat from our own farmers, with very little foreign on show,
either from ship or granary. Fresh farmers' wheat was good
to sell at last week's rates, and more inquiry for foreign, with-
out however leading to much business. A retail sale for bar-
ley, as also a good consumptive demand for beans and peas. In
oats not much business passing. No alteration to be quoted,
but cakes are decidedly cheaper. Nothing doing in rapeseed,
but cakes go off readily at our quotations. Bones maintain
their value.
