Established Church. lie (Lord Holland) agreed,
however, that the !duality's of the country did call
for a Bill of this nature, and thought the Noble Lord
correct In making an apology for its tardy appear-
ance; the more so, as a Noble Friend of his (he
might name him as be was not present), Earl Gros:
vetior, had proposed a measure of the same sort ke
yoirs ago. Bat he was sot then listened to; nor
was it then admitted or contended by the Noble Lord
opposite, that this was the most important of ail pos.
sible measures that could come before the Hesse.—
The merit of originating this measure was with Earl'
Grosvesor, and with hint only ; the merit of the No-
ble Lord only went to the sreeunt of the sum great.
ed by this Bill, and not to the principle of the smousere.
H. (Lord Holland) did not 63) that he oppoosd the
measure; he almost agreed to it such as it stood, pro.
widedit might be adopted with some such
,modifica-
tions as he had proposed, end some such sacrifices
, were made as he had suggested. Upon the whole be
concurred in the second reading of the Bill.
The Earl of HARROWBY contended, that this
measure was for the advantage of the People end not
the Church, end, therefore, there was no more pro.
priety in calling on the revenues of the Church to de.
fray the patience, than on any other appropriated
matinee in the kingdom. The credit of this men-
sere was due, and should be allowed to rest, on
the tomb of a dear and lamented Friend of his (Mr.
Perreval).
Tbtr Archbishop of CANTERBURY migrate.
laved the House, that there was so difference of
nion as to the necessity of this measure. Five days
before the Right Hoe. Gentlemen alluded to was es•
sassineted, he wrote to the Primate that be meant to
propose this mousers to Parliament. As to the re.
venues of the Chen* defraying the espeoces of the
new Churches, the Noble Baran mat know little of
theestent of those revenues, if he thought them at all
adequate to such ao *mance.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE considered this
measure as indispensible ; but he thought it bard that
Scotland should be obliged to furnish part of the
money, without the power being encoded to the Com•
miesiorsers to beiid additional Churches in that coon-
try, where there were even Isrgev parishes than in
England. 'rho harden ought to be borne by the
richer country, for whose benefit alone the meesere
was adopted. lip also objected to Ireland bearing
part of this berd,n
. The Earl of LIVERFOOI, agreed, that as much
*Hendon was due to Scotland es to England ; bud
that such accommodations as might be required for her
cant:rveations should be provided ; and be also ad.
that. the Gnwerument ought to recommood to
Parliament a similar measure to this with respect to
