§ MR. LYGON, in moving for leave to bring in a Bill to provide for the Episcopal Superintendence of certain Educational and Charitable Institutions, said, that within the last few years many of these educational and charitable institutions had been founded in various parishes in England with the consent of the incumbents of those parishes. It was quite possible, however, that in the course of time, with the appointment of other incumbents, there might be some 629 difficulty experienced in conducting these institutions. The institutions to which the Bill specially referred had chapels attached, and in these chapels divine service was performed with the consent of the incumbents. He proposed, however, that they should be placed more immediately under the control of the Bishop of the dioce3e, who would be intrusted with the power of granting licences for these places of worship under certain regulations which would at the same time guarantee the fulfilment of the intentions of the founders.
§ Motion agreed to.
§ Bill to provide for the Episcopal Superintendence of certain Educational and Charitable Institutions, ordered to be brought in by Mr. LYGON and Mr. WALTER.
§ Bill presented, and read 1°. [Bill 97.]
