Spring Hill College 33rd anniversary meeting notes
The thirty third anniversary meeting at Spring Hill College was held on Tuesday with Rev F Stephens in the chair. Treasurer Xeep reported receipts totaling 2264 11s 11d, expenses exceeding income by about 2l. The committee noted nineteen students on roll, several leaving for pastoral charges, four admitted on probation, and a large donation of 627 volumes from Thomas Smith James of Edgbaston. Concerns were raised over staff permanence as Dr Simon and Dr Deane received pastorate offers. The meeting approved prize offerings and thanked treasurer Mr Smith for his books, and discussed potential cooperation with New College London while preserving each college’s independence. A resolution expressed gratification at talks between New College and Spring Hill committees and urged mature consideration of a cooperative arrangement.

Correspondence on Ballot Bill and Lords Scrutiny Clash
A correspondent criticizes the Ballot Bill and Lords scrutiny plan as unworkable and harmful, arguing for a perfectly secret ballot and rejecting any compromise. The letter warns Liberal leaders against yielding to a scrutiny device and urges firm opposition to any erosion of secrecy, while a reply clarifies that support for scrutiny would undermine the bill’s essence.

Unitarian View on Disestablishment Debate
A letter argues that most Unitarians oppose the state church and support disestablishment. It recalls a Taunton conference manifesto 29 years earlier calling for ending church establishments, naming signatories and additonal ministers who align with the movement.
