large cndowmentS made prior TO 1861, ana
said there was no reason why they should
not be dealt with in the same manner as
those made after that date. To show such
m unjust discrimination, lie thought, was
dangerous. 1t would shake the faith OF the
neorile in private cndowments.
Lord Hatherly opposed the amendment

made prior TO 1850 were purely mythical.
lie said the Ulster grant was an appropria-
tion to Church uses of public money and
Iands won by the English while putting
down the rebellion. i'll no sense was it a

The Bishop Of Peterborough supported
the amendment, urging that neither on the
sround of Justice nor of legal right ought

The Marquis Of Salisbury remarked that
this clause was IN arithmetical puzzle, but
was evidently intended az r sop TO Irish
landlords, The Government proposed TO
