Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life and Correspondence of William Connor Magee, Vol. 2 of 2: Archbishop of York, Bishop of Peterborough
On April 21, 1874, he brought forward his motion for a Select Committee in the House of Lords, and made an elaborate and powerful speech upon the subject.
The key-note of this, and of all his subsequent efforts to reform the law of patronage, will be found in the following sentence from this speech: In a word, the aim of legislation should be to give practical effect to the principle that in the matter of patronage, property is the incident of a trust, and not trust the incident of a property.
