Mr. GLADSTONE, in reply to Sir P. Ifeygate, said ho
did uut think the Irish Church all would be the best
p'ac•e to introduce a el.use enabling limited owners of laud
to burrow, and the U m a'ssioners for Public Works to
len.l sums not exceeding a fixed p r tentage of the value
of such land repayable upon the principal of the lotus fur
dr:►iurge, farm buildiuzs and lasourer's hour s, for. the
purpose of assisting iu t!►e erection of churclis, ca p,is,
and Weeds of worship. lie thought .it best to deal with
the matter in a separate bill, and as soon. as the committ.te
on the Irish Church Bill ha l been concluded- bill would
be brought in to carry out such a proposal.
Th house then resume,' the Col►mittee on the bill pro-
moted by her Majesty's Government.
Sir G. JENICINSON moved an amendment to .provide
for the case of a vacancy in a parish taking place within a
few months of the passing. of the act in parishes which
had hitherto been well cared for, so as to provide
for the parish not being left without any spiritual in-
structor. The college of Maynooth was the , only
permanent endowment which ha•t been made by the bill,►'
but ho hoped the First Lord of the Treasury would adopt
the spirit of the amendment if he objected to the words in
which he ha•l expressed it.

•Mr. G LADSTbNE d.thied that any parmanent endow-
ment been made to the College of Mitynooth. He
could not accept the amendment of the hon. baronet op-
posite, because if ho were to do so it wou:d bo creating a
perpetual endowment in every parish.

Tho amendment was eventually nog tived without a
division.

Mr. PIM then moved an amendmOot to the effact that
whore the holder of benefices wh;eh di l not at pre-
sent produce .£2.70, the commissioners should, in the
event of his being twenty-five ears in the Church, g'Ye
him annuity to that ex,ent, as the present measure cut hat
off from All future, preferment.
