§ Order for Committee read.
§ MR. MONK, in moving that the House go into Committee on the Bill, said, he was willing, in that event, to at once report Progress, so as to give time to the hon. and learned Member for Denbighshire (Mr. Osborne Morgan) to consider what Amendments he might wish to propose. The House had approved the principle of the Bill on the second reading, which was passed with scarcely a dissentient voice.
§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That Mr. Speaker do now leave the Chair."—(Mr. Monk.)
MR. OSBORNE MORGANopposed the Motion, as he looked upon the Bill as one of a group of innocent-looking, but futile measures which were being brought forward by Churchmen to settle what was known as the burial question. The time was come when they should altogether abolish the distinction between consecrated and un-consecrated ground.
§ It being a quarter of an hour before Six of the clock, the Debate stood adjourned till To-morrow.
§ House adjourned at five minutes before Six o'clock.
