were removed ? The Petition fro® the City againftl
the meafure was not regularly Each, but horn an ag- I
gregatc of individual owners of houfes, and fucb
was the fobnance of the Petition ; he cool.? not avoid
recolleaing the length of time the Bill was before
Parliament, and no foam oppofition of that kind
being made, there, with other confederations, inducing
a prefinoptive evidence of acquiercence on the part
of thofe interelled, created a queflion in his mind,
whether they may not fafely come to a conclulion,
and without opening the door to the extent appre-
hended ? and whether, when an opportunity was af-
forded without being brought under that danger, it
Would be better, under the peculiar eircuna(tances of
the cafe, to do that which they all felt they ought to
do ? Upon thel'e grounds, the Noble and Learned
Lord !teemed to fay lie would not oppofe himfeif to
what a majority of their Lordfhips, in the prefent in-
Rance, may be inclined to do towards ameliorating
the fituation of the Clergy of London.
The Earl of ROSSLYN followed the Bifhop of
St. Map's, in an elaborate expolltion of our Clerical
Ettabiament, from the fariheft period from which
it could be traced to the prefent time. He applaud-
ed the moderation with which the Clergy of the Dio-
cefe of London had condulled themfelves, as far as
regarded the Bill, and trolled that it would obtain
their Lordthips' altent.
The Bifhop of LONDON expreffed his fatisfaaion
that the quahogs had been placed upon its true and
proper grounds by the Reverend and Learned Lords
who preceded him. After what their Lordfhips had
beard, he had fome expeaation that the Noble Duke
(Duke of Norfolk) would not perfevere in his amend-
ment of having the Bill read a third time tha: day
three months. The Clergy of London were in a
Rate of penury and embarraffment unbecoming their
rank in society, and had the Ilrongeft claims on the
liberality of the country.
The Duke of NORFOLK begged it to be under.
Rood that it never had been in his contemplation n.
oppofe the allowance of an adequate fuppot t to the
Clergy. On the contrary, he aifhed that the fitua-
lion of the great majority of the Clergy throughout
the whole of the kingdom Mould be ameliorated. He
did not with to fee a curate with his family in the
country Itarving upon a fcanty falary and Rimed al-
lowances ; nor did he with to fee an incumbeqt in
London deprived of the means of procuring the ne-
4:caries, and participating with his wife and children
in thofe decent and amufements for which he
was qualified by his eharaaer and Education. His
great objeoftion to the Bill was, that he feared it
tended to trench ilifon private property, and that
wiihoat.efpecial guards it would encourage innumer-
able applications of a firnilar kind, the confequences
of which no man could forefee. He mull perfat in
his oppofition to it, but after what bad fallenfrom a
Right Rev. Prelate (the Bifbop of London), he
would not divide the Houfe.
The Bifhop of s.r. ASAPH maintained, that as
this was a public Bill (for In he mutt call a Bill
which protefled to provide fcr the maintenance of an
important part of the national Clergy), there was
no neceffity for obtaining the c'nfent of individuals.
His Royal Highnefs the Duke of CLARENCE
coincided in opinion with the Noble Duke who fat
near him, as to the nectffity of obtaining the concur-
rence of all thole whole interells were likely to be af-
fetted by grit 111:1. To prevent, as far as he cauld,
the principle of the pretent Bill from being drawn
into precedent, be would elm& his diffent from it,
but without meaning to divide the Houfe.
The queflion was then put, that the Bill be now
read a third time, and carried in the afErmat've, the
two Noble Dukes being an only difientients.—Ad-
journed.
