The Earl of Cadoganmoved for certain Papers relating to the application of a surplus fund, derived from pew rents in Trinity Church, Chelsea, and which the noble Earl contended had been applied by the Church Commissioners contrary to the provisions of the 58th and 59th George III.
The Bishop of Londondefended the Church Commissioners against the imputations which the noble Earl had cast upon them, and maintained that the application of the surplus fund had been made in accordance with the request of the clergy and the congregation, for the purpose of promoting divine worship. The right rev. Prelate said he would reserve to himself the right of entering into details when the Papers which the noble Earl moved for should be laid on their Lordships' Table.
