Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Speech of C. N. Newdegate, on Moving for a Select Committee of Inquiry Into the Monastic and Conventual Institutions of Great Britain Mr. Newdegate: Mr. Speaker, before I proceed with the notice I have given, I may be allowed to present some petitions, some of them numerously signed, which have been forwarded to me, and relate to the subject of my notice. I have already presented a considerable number this afternoon, and I now beg to present several of these; they come from various parts of the country, including one from Birmingham and its neighbourhood, another from Evesham, and others from the Lords´ Day Observance Society, from Runcorn, and from Chester. The petitions having been ordered to lie on the table, Mr. Newdegate proceeded to say: On introducing the notice which now stands in my name, I wish to request that, in the last line but one, the words "have been acquired and" should be omitted, so as to leave the word "are" in the same line; the notice would then run: - "Select committee to inquire into the existence, character, and increase of conventual or monastic institutions or societies in Great Britain, and into the terms upon which income, property, and estates belonging to such institutions or societies, or to members thereof, are respectively received, held, or possessed." Sir, I desire that the notice should be altered in this respect, because I have been told that an inquiry into the manner in which this property has been "acquired" would be considered invidious; my object is a genuine object: it is an object in which I am supported by a great number of persons out of this House, who have testified their concurrence by petitions which have been presented to the House by myself and other honourable members. My object is the same, in a great measure, as that which I pursued in the last session of Parliament, and perhaps I may be allowed to advert for a moment to what occurred on two occasions, when I brought this matter under the attention of the House.
