The division list shows that the Prince of Wales, the

Duke of Edinburgh, and the Duke of Albany all voted for the Bill, and that the Duke of Connaught paired for it; but not a single Bishop (unless we count the Bishop of Ripon, who paired in its favour), while the Archbishop of York and sixteen Bishops • (including both Bishop Temple and Bishop Fraser) voted against the Bill. Otherwise, the division list shows, of course, that the greater number of the antagonists of the Bill were Conservatives, and the greater number of its advocates Liberals. Nevertheless, Lord Malmesbnry and other Conservatives voted for the Bill; while the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Argyll, Lord Monck, and other Liberals voted against it.
