this bill, imposing severe penalties on deans and
chapters refusing to obey letters mlssivs from the

the attention his bill was likely to receive The
noble Earl had adverted to dean and chapter or a
bishop, mourning the penalties of ,premnnire,
which penalties might amount to the forfeiture OF
life but this act would abolish prdmunirc, and
would substitute three years. Imprisonment IL
was much better. that the Crown should appoint a
bishop In form, than profess not to do SO, and yet
do 1t in substance.-Lord DENMAN said that he
hoped these cases would be removed altogether

remain, under any circumstances. He thought
