§ MR. HEYWOOD JOHNSTONE (Sussex, Horsham)To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will explain why the representation made to the Bishop of Rochester under the 8th Section of The Public Worship Regulation Act, 1874, by Colonel Porcelli in 1900 is not included in the Return ordered on the 11th instant (Parliamentary Paper No. 69).
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Akers-Douglas.) No representation by Colonel Porcelli is included in the Return in question because there is no record of any such representation having been made under Section 8 of The Public Worship Regulation Act, 1874. I am informed that Colonel Porcelli proceeded under the Church Discipline Act of 1840.
