§ Order of the Day for the Second Reading read.
§ THE EARL OF SHAFTESBURY moved, "that this Bill be read a second time, with the view of its being hereafter referred to a Select Committee."
§ LORD REDESDALEwould not oppose the Motion, but wished to guard against its being understood that he concurred in the principle of the Bill, which was one requiring, he considered, a great deal of consideration. The Bill might, he thought, afford facility for persons being induced, by those who were discontented with the clergyman of a parish, to attend a species of 827 worship which would be neither strictly private nor strictly public, and might in that way create disunion and give rise to most objectionable consequences.
§ Motion agreed to.
§ Bill read 2a, and committed to a Committee of the whole House To-morrow.
