§ VISCOUNT BARRINGTON,in whose name a notice appeared on the Paper to ask Her Majesty's Government what fees and charges are payable by Archbishops and Bishops on appointment; who receives them; and what services are rendered for them, said: My Lords, with regard to the notice which stands in my name, I have this day received an intimation from the noble Marquess at the head of Her Majesty's Government, that it would be convenient and desirable that I should postpone the question for a week. I can only say I shall be most happy to meet his views, and postpone it to any day he may think convenient.
§ THE MARQUESS OF SALISBURYWe are very anxious to afford all the information we can on the subject, but I have some doubt whether the words of the question of the noble Lord will make the case quite so strong for himself as it could be made. Therefore we want to inquire further in order to see what are the real burdens placed upon an in- coming Bishop, which I am inclined to think are very much too severe.
