CHURCH OF ENGL AND SPECIAL SERVICE
BILL.
On the motion that the house resolve itself into
committee on this bill,
Toe Earl of WICKLOW wished to know the reasons
that had led to the introduction of the present measure.
He thought it unnecessary and uncalled for.
The Archbishop of CANTERBURY defended the
bill, and said it was absolutely necessary that a measure
like tho present shoal pass into law.
Viscount DUNGANNON thought the bid a great
improvement upon the one introduced by the noble earl
(Shaftesbury), but it was his opinion that it would open
a door to dangerous innovations.
The house then went into committee on the bill.
On the first clause,
Lord WENSLEYDALE proposed a verbal amend-
ment to extend the operation of the bill to other places
tban cities and towns where large populations were
congregated, and where the church accommodation was
not sufficient, which was, after some conversation,
negatived.
The Bishop of OXFORD proposed to substitute
10;000 for 5 000 as the number of the innabitante in the
towns to be affected by the act.
After a short discussion the house divided—
For the amendment ..., 13
Against it

Majority IS
The Earl of POWIS moved to alter the words of the
clause so as to allow the preacher to read from the
Litany or any other part or parts of the Common Book
of Prayer.
. _

Lord CAMPBELL thought it was desirable that it
should be left to each particular minister to decide what
part of the Liturgy be would read.
After a short conversation the amendment was agreed
to, as was the clause and clause 2.
On clause 3,
The Bishop of LLANDAFF proposed a clause em-
bracing tho union of adjacent parishes in mining and
manufacturing districts for these objects.
The clause, after some discussion, he which approval
greatly preponderated, was, on the suggestion of
The Eishop of MANCHESTER, postponed until the
bringing up of the report.
The Earl of WICKLOW suggested, on the reading of
the preamble, the omission of a few words which
authorised services being performed in places of amuse-
ment, as concert rooms, taverns, casinos, and the like,
but not in a dissenting chapel.
After a short discussion, the preamble passed. The
Trustees Relief Bill passed through committee, when
the house adjourned.
