A letter from Ww. H. W. objects to landlord classing church-rate payments as occupier or owner duty. He argues landlords may raise rent to cover rates, a practice fixed by lease covenants rather than the bill. He notes occupiers regain power to oppose and manage rates with each new assessment.
The Lords debate on Mr Gladstone's Suspensory Bill stretched from Thursday to early Tuesday, with Earl Granville defending Gladstone and Earl Grey urging disendowment. Lords Derby and others attacked the measure while Bishop and Primate voices echoed mixed reform views. The bill failed by a 95 vote margin, sending the issue to a new Parliament amid party realignments and questions over Irish establishment.
Editorial argues the Lords rejected Gladstone's suspensory measure by a wide margin, framing the vote as a defense of privilege versus justice. It asserts the decision upholds a policy favoring ecclesiastical privilege in Ireland, contrasting it with broader calls for equal national treatment and justice. The piece contends the Lords' stance preserves privileged church entitlements and notes the opposition’s view that justice for all should prevail over sectarian advantage.
