§ GENERAL DUNNEsaid, he wished to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education, Whether the Charity Commissioners have introduced in the Lords a Bill already abandoned by him in the Commons, for the purpose of defeating the legal rights of Trinity College, Dublin, to the reversion of a bequest made by a certain Mr. Brown?
§ LORD ROBERT MONTAGUsaid, in reply, that the hon. and gallant General must be aware that, after in vain endeavouring to come to some agreement with Irish Members and with Trinity College, Dublin, he (Lord Robert Montagu) postponed the Bill until the 17th of June to suit the convenience of Irish Members who opposed it. He was not at that time aware of the rule of the other House that no Charity Bill would be received after the 21st of June. He therefore stated openly in the House, and in the presence of the hon. and gallant General, that he would move to discharge the Order, so that the Bill might be received in the other House, and then come down to the House of Commons at a later period.
