THE LORD ADVOCATE, in postponing the second reading of the Bill until after Easter, said, the impression which had prevailed that the financial results of the measure would be to put £1,000,000 of money into the pockets of the landed proprietors was an entire mistake; on the contrary, the Bill would raise from £35 to £80, the absolute burden on the heritors.
§ MR. G. W. HOPEsaid, the landowners objected to the parochial schools being made stipendiaries of the Government.
§ Second Reading deferred till Thursday,. 8th May.
§ House adjourned at a quarter before Two o 'clock, till Monday 28th April.
