THE IRISH CHURCH BILL.

The house then went into committee on this bill, and
commenced the discussion on the 58th clause.

Mr. CHARLEY moved an amendment for the purpose
of onaLling Irish prelates after the disestablishment of the
Church to retain their seats in the House of Lords, and that
all prelates appointed before the time fixed for the bill
coming into operation be entitled to the same privilege.
Mr. GL ADS TONE said it had already appeared to the
house when discussing the 13th clause that the sessation
of certain priviledges would result as a necessary conse-
quence of the passing of the bill to the Spiritual peers of
the Irish Church then in existence. Ho did not think
they were called upon to reopen the matter with respect
to those who might be appointed.
The amendment was negatived.

Some further amendments to the clause having been
moved, and after a short debate withdrawn, the clause
was agreed to, and ordered to stand part of the
On clause 59 being proposed,

Sir F: REYGATE moved an amendment, the effect of
wbich was to include lunatic asylums and asylums for poor
persons of weak intellect as institutions that might parti-
cipate in the surplus funds of the Church after all the pro-
visions of the Act had been complied with in exoneration
of the grand jury cess.
_ _ _ _

Mr. GLAbSiCONE thought there was no necessity for
the amendment, as the bill provided for:hospitals, which
he believed included incurables as well as curables.
The amendment was withdrawn.

Sir R. PALMER, Dr. BALL, and others, postponed
bringing up new clauses until the Report, in order that
the Bill might be got through at this sitting, which was
just accomplished,mith a few minty es to spare, and shortly
before six o'clock, amid loud cheers from the Ministerial
benches, the Chairman was ordered "to report the Bill
with amendments to the house."
