IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

MOUSE OF LORDS, Jam■ 2&
• rattaIIIAIPTCAL LAW&

The Earl of HA RD WICICE presented a Petition front Mott-
tape Burgoyne, Esq. one of the Churchwardens of the parts!
of Sutton, in the county of Bedford, complaining of immoral
practices on the part of the Rev. Dr. Free, Rector of that pariah,
and. stating that all attempts at prosecuting him had been defeated
in eeneequence of the 27th of George the Third, which required
.that every charge should foe proved before a certain time. The
Noble Earl should spare their Lordships the details of the dis-
gustieg conduct imputed to the individual mentioned in the Pe-
tition, but he thought them bound tecoosider whether some mea-
sure might not be pawed to prevent conduct suck as that imputed
in the Petition?
The Petition having been read,
The Bishop of LINCOLN thanked the Noble Earl for having
brought the subieot forward, and trusted that u it originated lu
consequence of the andeconithet of a member .of the Church., he
should be allowed to make a few observations. He hoped that
the Petition would induce their Lordships to hear the appeal which
was before them on that subject. He hoped it, for the inte-
rests-of the parish of Simeon, which, to consequence of the pro-
ceedings, was deprived of aU religious instruction, sod was
, situated, as to Christian observances, as if it stood in a Hea-
then meetly, It ought to be declared, for the sake et the
Cherell. of. Magian& 'whether the nth of his late Majesty sp.
pied to Arena* 'ennansithed by the Clergy, and that it was not
imestied to semen its members frees the consequences of their
conduct ? If k was as error, no time ought to be loam rectify-
ing it, for what greater disaster could befit the Church than a
belief that the Clergy might commit all vices with impunity, if
but eight months elapsed before the Information was laid 1 He
hoped the attendee of their Lordships would be drawn to the
state of the Ecclesiastical Laws, and to their amendment. either
by the measure suggested in the redden* or in any other man-
ner which might seem expedient to their Lordships. In this
case there bad been no want of exertion on the part tbe Ecclesi-
astical Authorities, and yet, after a lapse of three years. and the
spending of a considerable sum. they had not reached any decisive
point. Where an accusation was made, it ought to be investigated
as soon as palate. in order that if guilty, the individual charged
should be removed front the dice which he was unworthy to
or that if innocent he should be restored to the good opinion of the
public. The Ecclesiastical Courts in their present form afforded its
protectioa to the discipline of the Church. He spoke under the
authority of one of the highest Civilians of the tend when he said,
that the Ecclesiastical Law at present was a perfect chaos. It was
high time that it should be reduced to order. The discipline of the
Church would remain ineMcationa as long as nothing was done
to shorten the proceedings and diminish the espcuses of Ecck-
siastical cases.
