It had already been ap- proved by the House of Lords by a Vote of 241 to 88. The Commons rejected the measure tonight, 247 to 206, It therefore cannot now be presented for Royal assent. ouse Allowed Free Vote Although supporteds by the Prime Minister, it was naturally not a question of confidence in the Government, and the House was allowed a free vate, The Gov- ernment, however, had put out whips urging all members to at- tend, and it seemed to he gene: ally expected that the Commons would follow the vate of the Lords, although, after the speech of Sir William Joynson-Hicks, the Home Secretary, opposing the measure, it was thought the majority might narrow, The Archbishop of Canterbury, clearly anxipus over the fate of the measure remained in the gal- lery of the Commons throughout the entire eight hours' debate, and when the figures of the vote, show- Ing rejection, were announced the House gave way to unusual dem- onstrations.

The Premier, said he dreaded, if the measure were rejected, that dis-establishment might become 2 big political issue. Intricate Controversy Lord Hugh Ceell contended that rejection would mean a long and intricate controversy over the re- lations between the Chureh and the State, England he declared, was the reconciler of Chrietendem, and could speak the language of unity to the Roman, the Eastern and the non-copformist Church- es, and this book was In perfect hermony with that function. The members' benches were comfortably filled. In the Peers' Gallery were few, except the Arch- bishops of Canterbury and York and three Bishops.

Despite his attachment to Angli- canism, Mr. Bridgeman perhaps felt himself out of his elentent to- night in leading the debate on the liturgy. "My instincts were at first against the change," he frankly ad- mitted, amid a murmur of cheer- ing.
