HC Deb 17 July 1838 vol 44 c292

On the motion that the report be received,

Mr. Gillon

moved, that the report be received that day three months.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer

said, that this bill related merely to forty-one Highland schools and he had no objection to a clause to make those forty-one schools subject to any general measure that might be subsequently adopted.

Mr. Hume

thought it would be better not to press the measure during the present Session.

Mr. Gillon

said, he would withdraw all opposition if the Chancellor of the Exchequer would undertake that the money should be under the control of the treasury, instead of being placed at the disposal of the Established Church of Scotland.

The House divided on the original motion. Ayes 37; Noes 12.—Majority 25.
