HC Deb 11 June 1861 vol 163 cc935-6
MR. SOTHERON ESTCOURT

I wish to ask the hon. Baronet opposite, the Member for Tavistock, Whether the perusal of the draft of the Bill I forwarded to him on Friday last has induced him to make an alteration in his intention to proceed with the Bill for the Abolition of Church Rates, and if he still intends to proceed with that Bill I should like to know whether he will proceed with it on the day named—the 19th instant?

SIR JOHN TRELAWNY

Sir, it is my intention to proceed with that Bill on the day named, unless the Government will give me a day on which I shall be more certain to bring it on.
