HOUSE or LORDS. MAY st.-Lord Howden asked
question OF the Bishop OF London respecting the
refusal OF the Bishop OF Quebec to allow tablet
to be placed IN the church of that city bommemo-
ratiye oian oiilccrwho had died there and to whom
his brother officers We're DESTROYS of erecting this
last tribute OF affection. The Bishop of London
SAID that tablet had been placed in the church
prlor to the death of the officer in question: full of
eulogiums on the character of a man who had been
VIGOROUSLY profligate Some regulations were in
consequence made to the effect that no tablets
should be erected unless the inscriptions were pre-
vously approved of by the bishop, and unless also
the parties to whom they were erected were regular
COMMITMENTS of the church. The officer alluded

pllcatlon was made, but as the rule was made be-

Normandy said that the gaol of Newgate was alto
gether under the control of the corporation of Lon
don.

accomplish his purpose. The motion was seconded
by Lord John Russell, and adopted The Income
Tax Bill was then read third time and passed
