IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—This DAY.
The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock.
BANNS OF MATRIMONY BILL.

Mr. MONK moved the second reading of this bill, which
was to define the meaning of the Marriage Act of the 4th
Geo. IV., chap. 76, to declare the legal time at which the
publication of the banns of marriage should be made, to
•validaate marriages which might be declared void by .tho
ecclesiastical court in consequence of the publication of
the banns at an undue time, and to relieve clergymen from
the pains and penalties they may be liable to under the
Marriage Act.. .

Mr. B. HOPE opposed the bill, on tho ground that a
Royal Commission was sitting which would deal with the
matter.

After a short discussion the bill was read a second time,
and ordered to be committed on Friday.
ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCHES AND GLEBES
(IRELAND) BILL.

Sir C. O'LOGIILEN moved the second reading of this
bill, which was merely an extension of the present law
with a view to enable the owners of land to grant louses
for the erection of Roman Catholic churches and schools,
and also for globe purposes. The site for the churches
was limited to five, and glebes to twenty acres. By the
present law absolute owners of land could grant the leases
without any restriction, but limited owners could not
and ho proposed by the bill to give that power
to the latter, limiting it to the extent ho bad just
stated. Ho believed that one of the most beneficial things
that could be effected was to give each Catholic clergyman
in Ireland a residuum in the parish which was committed
to their care. The Roman Catholic Church in Ireland was
the religion of the people, not of the State, and, as it could
not be ignored, it was but just that some steps should be
taken to show that it was recognised by the State, and
this could be done by enabling globes to be purchased for
them, which would, he was certain, be followed by the
best results. The leases, he proposed, should be made
direct to the bishop and his successors, and not, as was
now the law, to trustees on his behalf.
