§ The Lords' Amendments to the Pluralities Bill were taken into consideration.
Mr. Aglionbymoved the restitution of what had been Clause three in the original bill, and which was omitted by the Lords. The object of the Clause was, to prevent persons holding a benefice of the amount of 1,000l. yearly value from holding along with it another of 500l. yearly value, and vice versâ, and by its omission, there would be no legal objection to persons holding two such pieces of preferment as Stanhope and Durham together.
§ Lord J. Russellagreed that the Clause was a very useful Clause, and regretted its omission. Hereafter it might be proper and necessary to legislate on the subject, but at present he was not inclined to disagree with the Lords' Amendment in this particular.

§ Amendment agreed to.
§ On the Lords' amendment for the omission of clause 62, relating to the appointment of additional curates in parishes where further spiritual aid was required, and where the expenses of such appointment were to be defrayed by the parishioners,
§ Mr. Haweswished for the restoration of the clause and he moved to disagree with the Lords. The clause had received the general assent of the House of Commons, and ought not to be omitted.
§ Lord John Russelladmitted, that the clause was generally approved of by that 1017 House, but as it appeared from the discussion in another place that it might excite great jealousy amongst the curates originally appointed, he should support its omission.
