§ MR. SAMUEL SMITHI beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether he is aware that the Rev. J. W. J. J. Danbury, whom the Lord Chancellor has appointed to the vicarage of St. Michael's, Southampton, is a member of the Confraternity of the Blessed Sacrament; and that the wearing of sacrificial vestments and other illegal practices were notoriously in use at the church of which Mr. Danbury was the curate; and whether, in view of the Resolution of the House of the 11th April, it is still possible to rescind this appointment.
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR, Manchester, E.)I understand the reverend gentleman to whom the hon. Member refers belongs to no association except the English Church Temperance Association.
