§ House in Committee (according to Order).
§ THE EARL OF SHAFTESBURY moved the addition of a clause, securing to the 822 parish the advantage of all contributions to the offertory, whether held in the parish church or in the school chapels.
THE BISHOP OF OXFORDopposed the Amendment. When there was a school service in a parochial church the offertory money ought to be at the disposal of the clergyman; but when the service was held in the school chapel, the application of the money ought to be settled by the authorities of the school.
§ After short discussion, clause negatived.
§ Amendment made; the Report thereof to be received on Thursday next; and Bill to be printed as amended (No. 183).
