BILL.
which was brought forward by Mr. GLADsToss.
On clause 1 being road,
Mr. HENLEY aioved its omission. He was opposed to
the
unconditional
abolition of church rates, and therefore
he could
not agree to the clause, which proposed that all
compulsory church rates should be abolished.
The house divided, when there appeared—
For the clause
Against it
Majority in favour of the clause —l37
The consideration of the seven remaining clauses occu-
pied the rest of the sitting, the discussion in every case
turning upon the terms used in the construction of the
different sections of the bill. As a specimen, a long period
of time was consumed considering whether the title of
the bill should be "Compulsory Church Rates Abolition
Bill," or, " Compulsory Payment of Church Rates Aboli-
tion Bill."
The bill finally passed through committee, was reported
with amendments, and was ordered to be reprinted.
_HIE COVENTRY ELECTION PETITION .

upon the taxpayers.
Mr. POWELL also expressed a hope that the bill would
be fully considered in committee, in order that injustice
was not inflicted upon those who did not deserve it.
The bill was read a second time, and ordered to bo
committed.
