THE COMMONS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND, IN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED. "The humble Petition of the Chancellor, Mas to one great defect in the national establishment by introducing another. "That the cathedral institutions are an integral branch of the establishment, tracing their origin to the first planting of Christianity among our Saxon ancestors, and many of them revived and re-established, with the most comprehensive views of the general well-being of the church, by the great authors of the Reformation.
