Tithes will be released amounting to £87,000. A Bill was brought in under the rule df the House limiting speeches to ten minutes. It provoked a protest from Mr Campbell Bannerman. The House by a majority of 78 voted in favor of its introduction, the result of the division showing a slight Unionist cleavage in favor of the Opposition.
