BILL.

Lord COTTENHAM moved the order of the day that their
Lordships should go into Committee on the Ecclesiastical
Courts Consolidation Bill.

The Bishop of EXETER opposed the Bill. He denied
that the State had any jurisdiction whatever in civil things,
and therefore it could not confer a power on any judge in
reference to ecclesiastittal matters which it did not itself possess.
He therefore thought that if the Government valued the sup-
port of an important portion of her Majesty's subjects, they
would not lend their sanction to that Bill. He concluded by
moving that the Bill be committed that day six months.
The LORD CHANCELLOR knew that many changes
had been introduced in the Bill when it had been before the
Committee ; but he was not aware till that moment from what
source those alterations proceeded. As far as he was concerned
he approved of the Bill in its original form.
Lord BROUGHAM thought that there must have been
some mistake in reference to the Bill. He did not know what
the Judge Advocate had to do with the alterations that had
been referred to.
Lord COTTENHAM wondered that the Right Rev. Pre-
late should oppose a Bill which had been submitted to and sup-
ported by the Committee in 1836, •f which he had been a
Member. It was a Bill sanctioned by the Members of her
Majesty's Government. It had been reported favourably of by
the Committee, and had passed the second reading.
The Bishop of EXETER explained, and said the Commit-
tee had been justified in all they had done. He was a member
of the Committee, but at the same time he should have no ob-
jection to have a Select Committee appointed for further in-
quiry.
The amendment was withdrawn.
Lord ABINGER hoped that the Bill would never be al-
lowed to pass by their Lordships.
The Bishop of SALISBURY thought that before such a
measure were introduced those who sat on the bench which he
occupied should have been consulted. He had been much sur-
prised, when down in the country, on reading an account of the
second reading of the Bill. He had come down to the House
prepared to suggest the course which had been already proposed,
namely, that the Bill should be referred to a Select Committee.
He did not consider the change proposed respecting the Courts
question of public convenience. Whetker it
involved any essential principle in the character of the Church ;
it
wasao make that cnange he was not prepared to was
advisable
merely
t
con-
tend: only he thought the onus lay with those who proposed
the alteration. It was their duty to show that such a course
was desirable.
After a few words from Lords Brougham, Cottenham, and
Campbell, it was agreed to refer the Bill to a Select Committee.

CALICO PRINT WORKS.
The Duke of BUCCLEUCH moved the third reading of
the Calico Print Works Bill.
Lord CAMPBELL suggested several alterations of a
verbal nature in reference to the employment of married
women in factories.
The Duke of BUCCLEUCH said the Bill had met not
only with the concurrence of Parliament, but with the sanc-
tion of the great manufacturers of the north, Mr. Cobden and
others. _ _

The Bill was then read a third time.
BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE.

The Duke of BUCCLEUCH moved the adjournment of the
use to Monday night.
Lord BROUGHAM would decidedly oppose the motion.
They could not afford to lose so much time, and the judicial
business would be completely retarded. They had been
dancing attendance upon Mr. Barry, the architect, and now
they were going to lose more time. It was a most extravagant
proposition to move an adjournment of their Lordship? House
on account of a ball in another quarter of the town. Nothing
could be more absurd
Lord WHARNCLIFFE had no objection whatever to their
Lordships meeting
to- morrow.
Lord BROUGHAM said the House would not be detained
half an hour, and their Lordships might come down in full
dress. He would be very happy to see his Noble Friend the
President of the Council in the dress in which he understood
he must appear at the Queen's Ball, that of Lord Burleigh.—
(Laughter. )
Their Lordships then adjourned till to-morrow, this day.
