Lord Stanleys Motion on Repeal of Ecclesiastical Statutes
Lord Stanley proposes a motion in the Lords to repeal portions of ecclesiastical statutes. He argues selective repeal suffices to show repeal of the whole is unnecessary, citing penalties for Sunday church absence and for servants guests or their households. He defends liberty of conscience and quotes Jus Christi. He notes repeals since Hanoverian accession but canonical statutes remain, and criticizes laws against meat on certain days and old witchcraft statutes still in force.
