St. Leonard's, Lord Campbell, Lord Redestiale, the Duke
Newcastle, Lord Malmeibury, and Lord Beaumont took pad'

Colonel Bruen, deceased.
On the motion for the third reading of the Canada Clerg
Reserves Bill, Mr. WALPOLE moved that, as an amencluiell;:

Mr. HUME considered that the bill would have a healias
rather than an irritating effect. free
Mr. DRUMMOND thought the measure was a bill to a „de
Church plunder. It was a mistake to suppose that free era

would preserve and consolidate the union between England a"
Canada, rather than break it asunder. be
Mr. LIDDELL was opposed to the bill. Church Lands ne De

done to them by reserving lands for their original purpose'
Sir EDWARD DbRING supported the bill.
