BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE.

Lord BROUGHAM gave notice that on Monday next
he would make a proposition to their Lordships, in reference
to the state of the business of the House.
POOR LAWS.

Lord TEYNHAM presented a petition against the Poor
Law Act.

The Bishop of EXETER presented a petition from the
Mayor and Council of Macclesfield, praying for the
repeal of the Poor Law Act, or for a considerable
alteration in it. He would now make a few ob-
servations in reference to the motion of which he had
given notice, and in doing so, he begged to observe that
he did not cast any blame upon the Commissioners. He
would confine himself to the subject of his motion in refe-
rence to those who were in poor houses. He was aware
that regulations existed in reference to the subject which
his motion contemplated ; he was aware that it was car-
ried into effect in several places, especially in Worcester,
where the inmates of workhouses were not allowed to at-
tend their parish. churches ; for there was an order in
existence there that Dissenters should be allowed to
attend their places of worship, provided they returned
to the house at a proper time. This showed that
a prohibition existed in respect to those who did
not come under this description. No precise order
was given by the Commissioners that these parties should
not be allowed to attend divine worship at their parish
church but regulations were adopted which had been sub-
mitted for the approval of the Commissioners, and, there-
fore, the act was virtually theirs.—(Hear.) In present-
ing a petition some few weeks since, he had stated
that this system existed, and he stated that on the best au-
thority ; for in the second report of the Poor-law Com-
missioners it was stated that it was an essential rule that
paupers should be confined in the workhouses so long as they
received relief ; and it further stated, that if this rule
were relaxed in favour of any one sect, it would create
dissatisfaction amongst others. This rule was not, how-
ever, acted on in the union of Worcester, and he rejoiced
that it was not, as if it were it would infringe upon the prin-
ciples of toleration which permitted persons to attend their
own churches. He thought the mingling of rich and poor in
places of worship tended to the best purposes, as showing
the poor man that all others were his equals in the sight
of God ; and it was a disgrace to Protestantism that this
feeling of equality in worship existed to a greater extent in
the Catholic church, where the noblest of the land
knelt beside his poorest brethren.—( Hear, hear, hear.)
Thus the pew system, however beneficial in other respects,
was decidedly injurious in this regard, inasmuch as it
amounted to an usurpation of the rights of the poor. But
although the system of pews was one of which the poor
could not avail themselves, was that a reason why the sys-
tem should be driven a step further, and the poor excluded
from the House of God altogether, 'as was the case with
reference to the Poor-law Act ? He was sure that if their
Lordships would take into their serious consideration the
consequences and effects of such a system as this, they would

7--
not hesitate a single moment in endeavouring- to devise some
mode of pr. tting a stop to so unjust an interference with the
rights and liberties of the poor. 'With respect to the law
of the land upon this subject, he was in the presence offline'
Noble and Learned Lords who would correct him if he was
wrong ; but, even in the presence of so many sages of diet
law, he would maintain, with great deference to them, that
the principle adopted in the Poor-law Act was contrary to
the canon law as well as to the common law of England:
Bishop Gibson, an eminent expounder of ecelesiasticnl
law, had laid it down that "no person shall be discharged
from the attendance of Divine Worship in his own paro
church, or be warranted in resorting to the service of another,
unless he shall have been licensed to do so by the °tali!
nary, and that such license is common in the ecclesiastical_
records."—(Hear, hear.) If such, then, was the law of
the land, where was there to be found any precedent of
ot
a.
body of Commissioners being authorised to make a set
rules and regulations in defiance of the law ? The Com'
missioners were not competent, he apprehended, to do
that.—(Hear, hear.) If, however, he were wrong with
respect to the canon and common law, he was not so s.
far as the statute law of England went, for he found that
by the 21st and 23d of Elizabeth, and by the 3d of bond
the duty of attending Church was strongly urged, an_
penalties of a graduated nature attaelfed to a greater.fe
less violation of those enactments.—(Hear, hear.)
did not go the length of proposing that those statutie!
should be revived or enforced, or that their penalties shou d
be inflicted ; but he merely reminded their Lordships
that they were still on the books, and that it was wisdom
113
to keep them there. He thought he had succeedeed 'a
showing their Lordships that, by the law of the '
prohibition of such a nature was wrong, and he woula ne.
longer trespass upon their Lordships' time and Pail
The Right Rev. Prelate then concluded by
" Copies of any rule or rules made by the Poor LAW C°P3e;
missioners, preventing the pauper inmates of workhon!sh
from attending Divine Service in their several Parlof
Churches on the Lord's Day ; also of any regulations d
the Board of Guardians of any Union which bad receives
guiatioei
the sanction of the Commissioners ; also of any re
under which the inmates of any workhouse were allowen
by the Commissioners to attend Divine Worship."
The Duke of RICHMOND said that the Right Rea,
Prelate who bad moved for these returns must, be thong"

be well aware that almost every parish church view ‘;c b
too small to admit all the inmates of the workhouse wine
might be situated within the parish. In his (the Du 6
of Richmond's) own neighbourhood, indeed there w:usHisi
parish church which was not large enough for the akir:",6.
wants of the parish congregation alone, and it was ''s
tention to enlarge that church.—(Hear.) He couside;ehe
that the effect, under such circumstances, of letting " r
poor out of the workhouses would lead to anything
than the promotion of religion, and tend to fill the bere,er.
shops, and cause dissipation and disturbance. 'With ;he
spect to the Right Rev. Prelate's observations uP°ll.-tes
Dissenters having privileges which the rest of the lousi",,-0
had not, all he could say was, that the Boards of gualrn;
were expected to provide the means of religious vversiyaTcl
but that by one of the first rules by which they reg,'-ego
the workhouses the paupers were not to be allowed tte
out of them. He regretted that the Right Rev. Pfc.-
had made this motion.
The Earl of MALMESBURY said that the pre—ar
motion was one of the results of; and afforded a strengths
gument against, the great extent of the unions under
.del
present Poor Law Act—(Hear, bear)—for if it was
that a poor man would not walk seven miles to Church'
should he be moved to a distance of seven miles from it

Earl FITZ WILLIAM said it would not be possib'ewe
carry out the principle for which the Right Rev. rn°';%.
ratbe
contended even in an union of comparatively moderate:43l
tent. The Right Rev. Prelate had spoken of a id
error" they had committed in the Poor Law Act, and --„a
that it involved a principle contrary to the statute ay,
common law of the land. But did not the Right Iten,
Prelate know that if the case of a war or any other eon p
tingency the militia of the county of Devon were colePel„e.
to muster and perform duty at Exeter, they would es ''rot

removed from their several places of worship, and that fie
Churches of Exeter would not, perhaps, hold them? °4i.
(Earl Fitzwilliam) agreed that it was an important 0115
deration that a Minister should be in communion with;
own congregation, and a congregation should have the 'tbe
vices of its own Minister ;but he would submit t°ric,

contained a most humane provision, for it said that au into

Lord ELLENBOROUGH said that in some u°,,.
the benefits intended to be confirmed by the Act had 'lce
defeated by the misconduct of the guardians themselyega'rt
Lord COLCHESTER said a few words, the pot'
of which did not reach the gallery. t°
Lord MELBOURNE said, that not to give ere
the Rev. Prelate for the motives and intentions by
he had declared himself to be influenced would bei;`,;ht
gatory, not only to the character and station of the tijeb
Reverend Prelate, but to the Reverend Bench to svilot
he belonged.—(Hear, hear.) It would be to suPP°sehiel'
the Rey. Prelate had grossly abused the privilege " It
he enjoyed, of speaking and voting in that flouse'b do'
would be to imagine that he had prostituted the hignset"
ties of his sacred to the worst ends and Purl3-orte
It would be to suppose that he had sunk below i'`,sl',llo
per level, and had placed himself on an equality wlysi
violent demagogues who, through the means of the, elia
or of public meetings, were trying to excite publiotikiel'
against the operation of this law, which he (Lora+. cos'

observe that that was an union formed under the 010 price
commonly called Gilbert's Act ; and, as the Nebilepifi°e,
had said, there was a chaplain to that Union, an of the

the second part of the report which the Right Rev.' cool

.which had been stated, that any persons ill disP°s°;,,etcor
desirous of evading the regular attendance upon divi'rdert°
ship, might declare themselves to be Dissenters in ° tatair

sioners might have objected to the order as inconsistentheo'
part of their report ; but it had never been submitted the their
and, therefore, it was not for him to say what toigif,d bytilej

lotion itself, he had no objection to the order being made :
he apprehended, however, that no returns could be made
to the first two clauses of the motion, and he presumed
it
.would be satisfactory to the Rev. Prelate to have no
motion eturo.
The return which formed the third clause of the
order being
might be given ; and he had no objection to the
made.
, The Marquis of BUTE wished the rule to be established
that the inmates of workhouses might be permitted to go
;.0 the parish churches, but thought that exceptions should
be made in cases of misconduct.
The Duke of RICHMOND and Lord COLCHESTER mu-
tually explained.
Thßishop
e of EXETER replied, and said that he
,hed petition which he should shortly present, and which
ne had hitherto refrained from presenting, in consequence
tf the great meeting in Yorkshire, and which was signed
Y upwards of 16,000 inhabitants of Sheffield, in favour of
the views which he took of this question. He was bound
Basay that he perfectly agreed with the Noble Earl as to
'antages of chaplains for the workhouses ; but in most
cases their stipends were so small, as not to warrant the
!IPectation that divine service would be regularly per-
!armed by them every Sunday.
Earl FITZ WILLIAM explained.
The returns were then ordered.
The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition against
the abolition of Church-rates.
Their Lordships then adjourned, shortly after Half-past
Seven.
