HC Deb 17 June 1858 vol 150 c2285

Order for Committee read.

House in Committee.

MR. WALPOLE

said, he thought it very desirable that the House should be made aware of the objects of this Bill. Stanhope rectory being, as was well known, a very wealthy rectory, five or six new rectories were created out of its revenues, and the surplus would be applied to small livings.

MR. INGHAM

said, he could confirm the statement of the right hon. Gentleman, and he desired to express the thanks of the county to the Bishop and the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, by whom this arrangement had been made.

Bill passed through Committee.

House resumed.

Bill reported, without Amendment; to be read 3° To-morrow.
