EPISCOPAL AND CAPI T [MAR ESTATES

MANAGEMENT BILL.
The Earl of CARLISLE, in moving the second read-
ing of this Bill, claimed their Lordships' indulgence.
The Bill was one of a most complicated nature, on a
subject to which he had not until recently directed his
attention, and one the provisions of which were sure to
militate against the interests of powerful parties.
Re had, however, the encouragement to know that it was
one which was unconnected with party politics, and he
hoped that after giving it a second reading their Lorci-
ships would consent to refer it to a Select Committee—
(Hear, hear, from the Tory benehes)—carefully consti-
tuted, when its provisions might be carefully considered,
and he hoped that it would not be considered
that by consenting to this second reading any
peer would be pledged to any one of the provi-
sions of the Bill, or to any principle, except that it
would be advisable to introduce a better management of
Church property, so as to make it more profitable and
more available for ecclesiastical purposes.—(Hear,
hear.) It was admitted that the present management
of that property was unsatisfactory both to the
lesson] and the lessees. It was stated, upon high
authority, that these estates might be let on terms
more advantageous both to the Church and to the
lessees. Tl:e Committee of the House of Commons had
reported that the system of fines was equally unpro-
titab/e to the Church and to the lessee, and militated
against the improvement of the property. It had long been
expected that some legislation would take place on this
subject, and this expectation had materially interfered
with the formation of agreements between the Church
and the lessees. In 1849 a Commission had been ap-
pointed to consider the subject. In 1850 the Commis-
sioners, who were the Earl of Harrowby, the Dean o
Canterbary, the present Solicitor-General, Mr. Archbold,
and Mr. Jones, presented two reports, and the Bill now
on their Lordships' table embodied the recommendations
et those two reports. The Commissioners recommended
to give to the lessees a perpetual right of renewal, and
to give to the Commissioners to be appointed under the
Aet the power of substituting a term of years in leases
for lives for the third life in the lease, so as to reduce
eventually all episcopal and oapitular leases to leases fur
terms oft years.
