ills 'remedy t*Ur' this • supposed defect: in' the exercise of
ecclesiastical patronage, is the appoibtment of a commis-
sion, to consist of " the Archbishop of Canterbury„ the
Bishop -of London, the 'secretaries of state, the members

bench, to recommend tit and prop ,r persons by whom they
might be supplied.' :• 'WO are• alSo of Opinion that the
lecommeudatinti should be unanimous; and that in any
-case where the commissioners could not agree, the • ,
ap-
pointment should' be made by the •ccown." Were this
