IMPERIAL PARLI AMEN T

HOUSE OF COMMONS—Tans DAY.
The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock.
THE URIALS BILL.
Several petitions wereß presentel against this bill.
CLERGY RELIEF BILL.
On the motion for the third reading of this bill,
Sir L. PALK said that he felt bound to move as an
amendment that the bill be read a third time that day three
months. He contended that the principle of the measure
was of the most objectionable character, as it enunciated
the monstrous proposition that the House of Commons was
entitle to release a priest from the vows which he had
undertaen. a power which the Pope of Rome, in the height
of Roman Catholicism, never assumed. By the provisions of
the bill any priest dissenting from the church might set
himself up as a preacher of heresy in the very parish where
he:had been officiating, or if he were so inclined he could
divest himself of his ecclesiastical character altogether and
adopt some lay vocation. He urged some other objections
to tae bill and trusted the house would reject any measure
of the kind which, both in principle and as he believed in
practice, would be found mischievous.
Mr, LYGON seconded the amendment.
Lord HENLEY hoped the house would not refuse to
read the bill a third time. He heard nothing during the
discussion on the second reading ach anced by those who
might be considered the regular represe at ativt a of the Church
of England, and the bill had been referred to a select com-
mittee without any valid argument against it. He re-
garded the bill solely with reference to the interests of the
Church of England, and having carefully listened to the
evidence adduced before the committee, he came to the con-
clusion that those interests would:be served by the adoption
of this measure. The bill merely relieved persons from
objections which they felt conscientiously could no longer
be discharged by them with benefit to themselves in the
Church of England. He thought it was highly de-
sirable that persons who were anxious to secede from
the Church of England should have an opportunity of
doing so, instead of remaining in the Church and
teach doctrines he no longer believed. It was
very hard that a clergyman should be deprived
of any means of obtaining a living by his exertions
in a lay pursuit; and such a penalty was holding forth
a premium to hypocrisy. A clergyman might succeed to a
large estate, which entailed on him duties that were of an
unclerical character, and in a case of that kind it would be
most unjust to compel him to remain in the priesthood.
He objected to the clause in the bill which made bishops
pronounce sentence against seceding clergymen, which
would have the effect of branding a man for acting in ac-
cordance with his conscientious convictions. He objected,
also, to the clause which prohibited persons, who had once
been in holy orders in the Church of England, from becom-
ing members of this house.
After some further discussion, the house divided :
