§ Report on the Established Church Bill brought up.
§ The Archbishop of Canterbury moved as an amendment to the clause requiring 902 the Welch Bishops to possess a knowledge of the Welch language, to omit the words which would make that qualification necessary. The duty of a Bishop was not to act as the shepherd of a flock, but as the superintendent of the pastors, and as all the Welch clergymen understood the English language, and the proposed restriction would unnecessarily limit the exercise of the prerogative, he should move that the words be omitted.
§ Amendment agreed to. Report received.
