HL Deb 10 August 1869 vol 198 c1524
LORD REDESDALE

moved that this Bill, as amended by the Commons, be reprinted, with a view of showing how materially it differed from the measure sent down by their Lordships, and of placing on record the proceedings of both Houses for reference in a future Session.

Motion agreed to.

LORD REDESDALE

wished to mention, in proof that the division last night was not a party one, but was due to the determination of the House to retain its due influence in legislation, that not a single Member of the late Cabinet took part in it. He received last night a telegram from Lord Derby, who expected that the question would not have been discussed till to-day, stating his readiness and desire to come up to town that he might be present.

LORD DENMAN

said, that he was ready to have stayed in London a sufficient time to consider the alterations; but, as the Prorogation was fixed for the 11th, he voted as he did. He regretted that the vigour and determination shown in the division last night had not been exhibited in reference to the Irish Church Bill. Every Irishman he had met with was unwilling to return to his home in consequence of the present aspect of affairs.
