§ EARL GRANVILLEI also beg to give notice that on Friday next, on the Motion for the second reading of the Burial Acts Consolidation Bill, I shall move to leave out all the words after ("that") in order to insert the words— 1053
No amendment of the law relating to the burial of the dead in England will be satisfactory which does not enable the relatives or friends having charge of the funeral of any deceased person to conduct such funeral in any churchyard in which the deceased had a right of interment with such Christian and orderly religious observances as to them may seem fit.
THE DUKE OF RICHMOND AND GORDONMay I ask the noble Earl, whether he proposes to negative the Motion for the second reading of the Bill?
§ EARL GRANVILLEI will move the Resolution of which I have just given Notice—though I do not hope to carry my Motion.
THE DUKE OF RICHMOND AND GORDONI ask your Lordships to consider the position in which we shall be placed. I shall move "that this Bill be now read a second time." In order that the Resolution of my noble Friend may be put, he will have to move the omission of some words from the original Motion. What words will he move the omission of?
§ EARL GRANVILLEI shall propose to strike out all the words of the original Motion in order to substitute those of my Resolution.
§ THE EARL OF REDESDALEIf the word ("now") be struck out of the original Motion, the Motion for the second reading cannot be put again.
§ EARL GRANVILLEI think the noble Earl (the Earl of Redesdale) will find in a Motion made by the noble Duke himself a precedent for what I propose to do.
