HL Deb 12 August 1881 vol 264 cc1640-1

Amendments reported (according to order); further amendments made. Then Standing Order No. XXXV. considered (according to order), and dispensed with.

Moved, "That the Bill be now read 3a."—(The Earl Beauchamp.)

THE BISHOP OF LONDON

said, he would take that opportunity of congratu- lating the noble Earl (Earl Beauchamp) upon having carried the measure to a successful issue. He trusted that during the Recess the noble Earl would consider the desirability of extending the application of the principles of the measure, so as to prevent the necessity of sending clergymen to prison for offences similar to those committed by Mr. Green.

Motion agreed to.

Bill read 3a accordingly, and passed, and sent to the Commons.
