This Measure applies to all patronage, whether public or private, and, accordingly, applies to patronage exercised on behalf of the Crown. I should not have intervened otherwise, but it is right that the House, in considering this Measure and a subsequent Measure, with regard to which there is a Motion on the Paper, should be informed of the fact that His Majesty has been graciously pleased to place the rights and privileges of the Crown at the disposal of Parliament, both in respect of this Measure and in respect of the Union of Benefices Measure.
