10 be elected a vestryman, aud now seeks to creep
In through back door which this bill would open
if IL should become law The entire church Of the
State opposed to it, and the bill had been re-
ported agsinst by the committee Of this House
Mr.. Cormsck, who introduced the bill, said that
though be personally interested the matter
still ho ielt compelled to introduce this BILL because
the Of the church Dehi had refused to call
meeting There was no law under which
the members OF the church could force
meeting; and, therefore, he thought It
no more than just that shcrs should be such a law.
He criticised the action Of Bishop Doans, who, he
said, opposed 10 This bill, and everything else
which touched his power In the remotest manner.

tions to strike out the enacsing clause.
