§ MR. STANLEY LEIGHTONI beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether all appointments in private patronage are excluded from the operation of the Welsh Suspensory Bill; and, if so, whether he can inform the House of the number of such preferments in Wales and Monmouthshire?
§ MR. W. E. GLADSTONEThey will be excluded from the scope of the Bill, and no doubt the numbers can be given in the form of a Return.
§ MR. S. LEIGHTONIs the great living of Hawarden within the operation of the Bill?
§ MR. W. E. GLADSTONEIt is within the operation of the Bill geographically, but it will be in the same category as all other private advowsons.
§ MR. S. LEIGHTONAnd therefore is not affected by the Bill.
