Petitions

HES.—Sir J. PACRINGTON
moved the second reading of the Church Building Acts
Amendment (No. 2) Bill, sent from the House oeLords.
He briefly explained the object of the bill—namely, to
authorise the taking down of churches, the sale of the
sites, and the erection of similar edifices in other localities,
whereby, he said, the superfluity of church accommodation
in the city of London might be diverted to the relief of the
spiritual destitution of the suburbs.—Mr. R. PIIILLIMORE,
in moving that the second reading be deferred for three
mouths, denied that there was really a superfluity of
in the city churches, if they were adapted
n the character of the resident population,
ited a variety of objections to the measure,
which he characterised as harsh and arbitrary, a violation
)f the law, an invasion of the rights of parishioners, an
e upon their feelings, and an attempt to relieve the
rose of the poor, the end being to obtain
this bill the Cathedral of St. Paul and its
sold for what they would fetch.
a ensued, in the course of which Mr. SIDNEY
HERBERT defended the bill ; but on a division it was
thrown out by a majority of 145 to 61.
TIIE REGIIIM DONIIM.—The house having resolved
itself into a Committee of Supply upon the remaining
Civil Service Estimates, upon the first vote of £38,745 for
Nonconformist, Seceding, and Protestant Dissenting
ministers in Ireland, Mr. BRIGHT objected to the vote,
contending that the Reginm Donttm to the Presbyterian
ministers of Ireland, which was political in its origin, was
altogether unnecessary, and pernicious to that body ; that
it tended to stimulate to pious frauds.
