§ Order of the Day for the House to be put into Committee, read.
892§ VISCOUNT MIDLETONsaid, that in order to meet the objection urged to this Bill on a former occasion, the Preamble had been altered by omitting the words "Catholic Apostolic" as a description of the Church to the members of which the Bill applied, and substituting for it this description, "Any Church or Body who are not Roman Catholics, and who do not describe themselves as Protestants." Verbal changes had been made in the clauses to make them accord with the alteration in the Preamble. He believed the noble and learned Lord on the Woolsack was of opinion that those Amendments removed all objections to the Bill.
THE LORD CHANCELLORsaid, that if one were hypercritical, he might perhaps find that the description was still somewhat faulty; but he thought there was no longer any substantial objection to it.
§ House in Committee accordingly.
§ Amendments made; the Report thereof to be received on Monday next; and Bill to be printed as amended. (No. 75.)
