s of a majority of the house.

REFORM.—The house went again into
tl4llaittee upon the Oxford Committee Bill, the remaining
1114.Zes of which were agreed to, with a few unimportant
"Adments.—Mr, Wolinfpgl,lo l'Apszu moved to insert

a new clause, enacting that, before any college or the
commissioners make any regulation for the abolition of
any privilege, or right of preference in elections to college
emoluments now belonging to any school, two months'
notice shall be given to the governing body of such school,
and to the charity commissioners, and no such regulation
shall be made if two-thirds of such governing body, or
such commissioners, shall declare that it would be preju-
dicial to such school.—The CHANCELLOR of the Excirn-
QUER opposed this clause. There was, he said, a provision
in the bill by which all persons interested in those endow-
ments were secured an impartial hearing before a com-
mittee of the privy council, which he thought a sufficient
protection : he objected likewise to the principle of the
clause, and questioned its practicability.—Lord J. RUSSELL
observed, that the direct effect of the clause was to preserve
the privileges of bad schools. After a warm debate, in
which several members took part; the committee divided,
and the numbers were—
For the clause . 162
Against it ..

Majoiity against the government.... 52

out of the saddle, fell sideways, hung by his left spur, and
