§ SIR JOHN TRELAWNYsaid, that on behalf of many hon. Members who took a great interest in this question, he would beg to ask the right hon. Gentleman the loader of the House to reconsider the determination he had expressed not to give a day for the discussion of the church rate question.
THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUERsaid, he really could not, with a fair regard to the progress of public business, give a day for the discussion of church rates or of any other subject. On Thursday, however, he should propose to the House, that on and after the 13th of May (Thursday fortnight), Orders of the Day should take precedence over Notices of Motion; and in that case it would be open to hon. Gentlemen to make this an Order of the Day, which would, he trusted, afford the hon. Member the opportunity he desired.
