Order read, for resuming Adjourned Debate on Question [3rd May], That an humble Address be presented to Her Majesty, humbly to express the desire of this House that in the exercise of the power conferred upon Her Majesty by the 9th, 10th, and 19th sections of the Act 31 and 32 Vic. c. 118, with respect to the five Statutes for determining and establishing the constitution of the new governing bodies of Shrewsbury, Winchester, Harrow, Charterhouse, and Rugby Schools, Her Majesty will be pleased to ascertain whether the said Statutes correspond with the provisions of the 17th and 19th sections of the Endowed Schools Act of 1809, and, if they do not correspond with the said sections, to disapprove of them, or of so much of them, accordingly."—(Mr. Thomas Hughes.)

Question again proposed.

Debate resumed.

MR. NEWDEGATE

stated that no further proceedings ought to be taken upon this matter until full time had been afforded for the consideration by the Governing Bodies of the different schools of the important Motion which had been moved by the hon. Member for Frome (Mr. T. Hughes), and of the Amendments to it which were to be brought forward. He begged accord- to move that the debate be now adjourned.

After short debate,

MR. W. E. FORSTER

said, he thought it would not be desirable to proceed with the measure to-night, as he had not had an opportunity of considering the Amendment of the right hon. and learned Member for Southampton (Mr. Russell Gurney).

Debate further adjourned till Monday next.
