In a Church Quarterly Review summary the new Cemeteries Act is praised as broad and fair yet critiqued for potential compulsory clauses. The article notes fears rural parishes may prefer traditional burial rites and raises questions about chapel requirements within consecrated cemetery areas. It also counters claims of a legislative dodge, explaining the bill’s long Parliament path beginning in 1878 and reintroduction in 1879.
The article questions the legitimacy of a bill pushed through in 1878 with usual notices, noting that two divisions occurred during early morning adjournments with few MPs present while Mr. Osborne Morgan was absent, implying a deliberate dodge behind the process.
The Darlington Sanitary Authority formed a committee under a new Act with Dr Eastwood at its head. The move draws criticism over churchyard funding via rates from Nonconformists and perceived church favoritism. Critics call the plan a farce and urge churchyards to be improved at churchmen’s own expense.
At the Manchester Diocesan Conference the Dean argued for facilities allowing general use of churchyards and called the Act an aid to sanitary goals. He warned against church state disputes and suggested the measure could curb political agitation over burial rights. Notices from Ely and Peterborough conferences delayed.
The Seventh Book of Mr Green’s history is praised as a vivid, impartial account of English life in the seventeenth century.
