CHURCH OF SCOTLAND.
PROPOSED DISESTABLISHMENT.
THE MOTION NEGATIVED.
[press association.]
London, June 23 In the House of Commons, Dr. Cameron, M.P. for the College Division of Glasgow, moved for the disestablishment and disendowment of the Church of Scotland. After discussion, the motion was negative by 262 to 180.
The Spectator, in an article reviewing the result of the division, says that, as the majority against the motion has decreased by at least one-half since the previous attempt was made in the same direction, Mr. Gladstone should appeal to the country on the question.
