 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.
