LORD STANLEYI beg to give Notice that, on Monday next, on the Motion for going into Committee upon the Irish Church Establishment, I shall move an Amendment in the following words:—
That this House, while admitting that considerable modifications in the Temporalities of the United Church in Ireland may, after the pending inquiry, appear to be expedient, is of opinion that any proposition tending to the disestablishment or the disendowment of that Church ought to be reserved for the decision of a new Parliament.
MR. GLADSTONEIn order that there may be no misapprehension upon this most important subject, I wish to know whether I am correct in understanding the noble Lord to say that he will make his Motion in the form of an Amendment in Committee; or, whether he intends to move it as an Amendment upon the Motion "That the Speaker do now leave the Chair," or, to speak more accurately, upon the Motion "That this House do immediately resolve itself into a Committee."
LORD STANLEYI shall move it as an Amendment upon the Motion, "That the House do immediately resolve itself into a Committee."
