Progress was now reported and
The CHURCH TENURE BILL
Was taken up for consideration.
Mr.. BISHOP continued his remarks commenced
Friday last He argued thst the c4Doncal lava Of
the Romish Church had ev,r placed the churches
under the control Of the Bishop. but he could fad
nothing in the ancient Ia ~ OF the Church which
tborzed the title fee simple To church operty to
vest In the Bishops; hence be aryre1 that thu Laws
on this subject enacted By the Baltimore Council,
were IN conflict with all the ancient lave Of the
Church. From this fact he assumed that be could
give bis sanction to the bill roiscusson becaue
be felt that its enactment you'd do violence either
to the faith dsc pliue Of TIE Romish Chdr n. To
allow H. title of church property n the Bishop
would be granting greater privileges than was ever
enjoyed by The Cru CHI in any Europe an country. By
bf.lso
would stand par with the Church in other coun.
tries-it will be cepvsd Of privileges here tn it
FL Joys IN Europe. ar b. having concluded, progress
was reported and the bill made a special order
for Thursday sfterr oop AZ 4 p. NJ.
