be very economical with respect to the money of the public, but
he feared when it had to deal with the money of the bishops it
would exercise no economy at all. (A laugh.) He thought it
would have been better if the amount of salaries had been fixed
by the clause.
-Lord .ALTHone, in order to remove any difficulty that might
be supposed to exist, was willing to strike out the words "other
emoluments."
Words struck out, and clause, as amended, agreed to.
Clauses 3 to 9, inclusive, haying been agreed to,
Mr. GouLBIJRN suggested, on the 10th clause being proposed,
that it would be better to let the commission, which was to be
appointed by the Crown, report to the King in council. He
thought that if the commission were to make its reports to Par-
liament, the proceeding might have the appearance of an in-
terference with the royal prerogative, which had better be
avoided.
Lord ALTHORP said that the reports would be laid before
the Lord-Lieutenant, who represented the Crown, and then
they would be presented to Parliammt. In his opinion, the
adoption of that course obviated_the right honourable gentle-
man's objection.
After some desultory conversation, the 10th, 11th, and 12th
clauses were agreed to.
Ou the 14th clause being proposed to stand part of the bill,
Lord ALTHoRp was understood to state that he had an alter-
ation to propose, as to the ratio at which the per centage upon
the value of the living should commence,—namely, £2OO, in-
stead of £3OO, as had been before stated.
The alte.ratiou was oposec by Mr. Shaw, Sir R. Bateson,
Sir R. Inglis, and Mr. Goulburn.
After some observations from Lord Althorp and Mr. Shaw,
the clause was agreed to.
Clause 13 was also agreed to, after a desultory conversation
and some verbal amendments proposed by Mr. Shaw.
Clauses 16, 17, and 18 were also agreed to.
Clause 19 was agreedto with verbal amendments, after which,
upon the motion of Sir S. Whalley, the house resumed, and the
chAirinan reported progre'ss.
The Rating of Tenements Bill was read a second time.
The Fines and Recoveries Bill was read a third time and
passed.
The Limitation of Actions Bill was read a third time and
passed.
The Inheritance Bill was read a third time and passed.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL then moved the third readiag of
the Dower Bill.
Mr. BLiNIIRE objected to this bill, and moved, as an amend-
ment, that it be read a third time that day three months.
The SoLicilToß-GENERAL opposed this amendment.
The gallery was then, cleared for a division, but none took
place, and the original motion was ultiMately agreed to, with a
verbal amendment.
The Curtesy Bill was read a third time and passed.
On the motion for the third reading of the London Police-
offices Bill, it was proposed that the bill should be recommitted
for the purpose of amending it. This was agreed to. In the
committee Mr. PEAsE moved a clause prohibiting bearbaiting,
cockfighting, Sec., within live miles of London.
Mr. G. Lama said that he believed that cockfightingand such
amusements (if, indeed, amusements they could be called) en-
couraged vice and the congregation of persons of low cha-
racter. He had no objection to the amendment.
After a short discussion the committee divided, when there
appeared :
For the amendment 24
Against it .

Majority in favour of it
The house then resumed. The amendments and the bill were
;hen read a third time and passed.
The house then adjourned at three o'clock.
