perience in Committees, whether there was not great
advantage in such a course, inasmuch as every detail of
the Bill would he hilly considered, and an opportunity
would be afforded of rejecting every objectionable pro-
vision in the Bill. Lie was quite ready to state chat if
this course were adopted, he should not consider the
Reuse in any degree pledged to that which had been
objected to in the Bilt —viz., an absolute renewal of
all leases of Church property for ever. He found
nothing in the preamble or in the wording of the
Bill to prevent the Committee rejecting, or limiting
or regulating the claim—if not the right of lessees,
in the way most conducive to the interests of the Church,
taking into consideration what the Right Rev. Prelate
had admitted to be the claims of those who occupied as
lessees. He appealed to the Noble Lord on the cross
bench whether, if they sent the subject to a Select Com-
mittee without the power of considering the Bill, it
would not be equivalent, if not to a rejection of the Bill,
at least to an indefinite postponement of it, and to a
taking away of all chance of any progress being made
in the question this session. For fifteen years the sub-
j ect hag occupied the consideration of the public gene-
rally, and of the occupiers under the Church, and of the
Church itself in particular, and some settlement of it
had been looked forward to by all parties. By sus-
pending that settlement the interests of the Church, and
also of the lessees, hail been deteriorated, because it had
been found impossible to terry on improvements and to
develop the resources of the property held by the
Church. An expectation of a settlement having been
held out, he thought their Lordships ought to take the
first practical step towards it by sending this Bill to be
duly considered by tt Committee. He snbmitted, there-
fore. on the understanding that the Bill be sent to a
Select Committee, that their Lordships should now agree
to reedit a second time pro forma.
The Bishop of OXFORD did not rise to discuss the
principle of the Bill, but to move an amendment in ac-
cordance with the suggestion of the Noble Lord oppo-
site (Lord Stanley), that a Select Committee be ap-
pointed to consider how and by what system of manage-
menth the capitular and episcopal property of the Church
might be rendered more productive of benefit to the
om
State, and most conducive to the spiritual e elfare of
people, due regard being had to the just and reasonable
claims of the present holders of Church propertyfer underthe
lease oe otherwise.—(Elear, hear.) _He hoped,

the Noble Lord, had in answering the objection
re-
ferred to the prearnlet,b.ut had omitted to read the
qualifying words e modifications as hereinafter
contained." It was desirablee that the interests of all
should be duly conside-red' and if, as the Noble Earl on
the cross benches feared, the Bill would not pass this
mission, he could only assure him that it Was one one of
those cases to which the old proves b of " the more haste
the worse speed" was.
very applicable. Be begged to
move the ameneimenr.
The Berl of CARLISLE opposed the amendment.
After the discussions that had token place—after the
general concurrence of opinion with respect to the pro-
visions of the Bill—alter the question had been before
the public for upwards of tea years, and had been last
year the subject of a special report of Commission—and
after the Government had introduced a Bill founded
upon that report—he did think it was ungracious to re-
fuse the Bill a second reading. Ile was astonished that
the Right Rev. Prelate for Oxford should have laid any
stress on the nrdifying words in the preamble, since it
would be perfectly open to the Committee to say whe-
ther those words should be struck out of the preamble or
not. One must be sanguine, indeed, to suppose that the
report of such a Committee as that proposed by the Right
Rev. Prelate would dispose of the question. In all probabis
lit}; if ever such a report came before them, there would
be another Select Committee moved for, to consider the
Bill, so that the whole question would be postponed.
Quite certain that the country would disapprove of the
withdrawal of the Bill, he felt bound to give his decided
Opposition to the amendment.
The Earl of ABERDEEN did not rise to speak on
the merits of the Bill, but as the Noble Earl had spoken
of the second reading cf it as a matter of courtesy he
wished to recall to tittle Lordship's recollection whet
the second reading of a Bill meant. As the oldest mem-
ber of the House present, he thought ho was entitled to
offer his opinion that the second reading of a Bill—spite
of all understanding end agreements—was an affirmation
of the principle of that Bill. He knew it was not
always easy to explain what the principle of a Bill Was,
but if the principle of this Bill was as represented by the
Right Rev. Prelate, the conversion of leases for life into
leases in perpetuity, that would be what they would
affirm by reading the Bill a second time. In a Commitee
they might deal with the provisions of the Bill, but with
the principle of it they could not.
Earl GREY said the question in this case was, what
was the principle of the Bill? His Noble Friend had
stated in the clearest manner that he was willing to take
the principle as defined in the first part only of the pre-
amble, viz., an improved management of Church pro-
perty with duo regard to the just and reasonable claims
of persons holding it by lease or otherwise; that was all
they were to affirm by the second reading. The course
proposed by the Right Rev. Prelate (Oxford) would vir-
tually negative the second reading.— (No, no.) When
he considered the extent to which the lessees were suf-
fering by the present state of things, he thought their
Lordships would incur a serious responsibility if they
ad9ted a course which would virtually prevent all legis-
lation on the subject this session.
After a few words from the Archbishop of CANTER
BURY and the Earl of FOWLS, both of whom were in
audible, their Lordships divided,
