§ Order for Second Reading read.
§ DR. TANNER (Cork, County, Mid)I object.
§ SIR ELLIOTT LEES (Birkenhead)I hope the honourable Member will not object to this Bill, which is supported by honourable Members on both sides of the House. It simply enacts that where monuments have been erected in churches out of public money they shall not be removed by the ecclesiastical authorities without the permission of Parliament; and that the permission of Parliament shall be obtained only by laying a scheme on the Table of this House and of the other House, for six weeks, and if no objection is taken the scheme may be carried out.
§ DR. TANNERI object, Sir.
§ Bill consequently postponed to the 11th of May.
