Lords to Fix Second Reading of Abolition Bill

Granville, despite Earl of Malmesbury’s protest, fixed the second reading for Thursday. The Lords face a crucial choice on the abolition of compulsory church rates and may amend to improve practicality while preserving core principle. The Times notes a grave responsibility if Parliament denies resolution of this long standing issue.

Compulsory Church Rate Abolition Act 1868 Passes

The bill ends compulsory church rates in England and Wales with a repeal of powers to levy such rates under existing acts. It allows voluntary rates by vestry agreement, maintains ministerial stipends, and sets auditing by Poor Law auditors. Churchwardens may manage voluntary funds with annual accounts to parishioners.

Press and the Irish Church Resolutions

The piece notes rising public and press support for disendowment of the Irish Church. It cites The Times moving toward doom of the Establishment while arguing Parliament cannot abolish it alone and endorses leaving the final step to a successor legislature. It also mentions Disraeli’s view and dismisses fears of Parliament dissolving.
