PROCEEDINGS IN PARLIAMENT.
... ...
Nov. 28. Sir H. Verney moved for leave to
bring in a Bill to relieve the Ecclesiastical Commissioners
of England and Wales from the duty of laying before Her
Majesty in Council a scheme for uniting the sees of Carlisle
and Sodor and Man. The motion, which was supported by Sirs
R. Inglis and E. Codrington, and opposed by
Lord John Russell and Sir Robert Peel, was
lost on a division, by a majority of 159 against 53.
