CHURCH MONEY.
DONATIONS FROM " SINGED " MEN.
WELSH DISESTABLISHMENT,
AN ACRIMONIOUS DEBATE.
By Teloeraph—Press Association—Oopyrteht (Rec. December 18, 10.45 p.m.) London, December 18. An acrimonious debate took place ill the House of Commons on the clauses of the Welsh Disestablishment Bill, dealing with Church money prior to 1862. Lord Robert Cecil declared that it was often tho case that a man with a touch of hell fire on his brow gave money to the Church. Mr. F. H. Booth, Liberal member for Pontefract, objected to tho contention that the bulk of the money came from men who had a feeling of having'been singed. Mr. John Ward, Labour member for Stoke-on-Trent, objected to the Government's hard bargain. Hβ was opposed to the secularisation of religious funds. The Right Hon." Reginald M'Kenna (Home Secretary) intimated that he was prepared to accept two Liberal amendments leaving Queen Anne's Bounty intact. This concession, he said, would involve .£15,000. This 6peech inflamed the 'Welsh Radiculs, who subsequently decided to vote against the proposal. An amendment by Lord Robert Cecil, moving for the appointment of a committee of jurists to decide what private benefactions existed prior to 18C2 was negatived.
