the house that considerable progress had been made in
rogard to the amount of private business before the house,
and that there was a very small amount of business which
was not disposed of.

tiring Pensions Bill passed through committee.

BURIAL SERVICE OF THE ESTABLISHED
CHURCH.

Lord EBURY moved that in the opinion of this house
the Burial Service of the Established Church stood in
urgent need of revision.
The Archbishop of CANTERBURY objected to the
introduction of the motion at that late period of the ses-
sion, when the greater portion of the right rev. bench
were absent.

Earl GRANVILLE recommended the withdrawal of the
motion. It had been proposed to issue a Royal commission
to consider some of the rubrics, but the whole matter was
surrounded with difficulty.
The discussion was continued by the Bishop of London
and Earl Grey; and Lord Ebury persisting with his mo-
tion, upon a division it was negatived by 43 t• 20.
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE asked if the Governor
General of India had taken steps to inquire into the titles
to land in other parts of India similar to those which had
been adopted in the province of Oude.

Lord DUFFERIN said that Sir John Lawrence had
ordered an inquiry into titles to land, but only for fiscal
purposes. There had been no reversal of the policy of
Lord Canning in this respect, and no steps had been taken
similar to those which were adopted in Oudo.
Their lordships adjourned at half-past 7 o'clock.
