HC Deb 10 February 1860 vol 156 cc810-1
SIR JOHN TRELAWNY

said, he wished to ask the Under Secretary of Stale for the Home Department whether he has read in the Report of a Committee on means of Religious Instruction, presented to this House, the evidence of Archdeacon Rushton on a case which he witnessed of "repeated and violent" attempts to turn "a poor devout worshipper" out of a church "professedly free" (Trinity Hulm); and of another case in which only one free seat (and that a bracket in the aisle) was provided in a church which, under an Act of Parliament, ought (as Dr. Rushton states) to have had one-third of its seats free.

MR. CLIVE

said, that in answer to the hon. Baronet, he would ask him whether he had read this blue-book (producing a very thick volume). Early next week, no doubt he should be able to answer the question.
