DOMESTIC . RELIGIOUS . Jleport of the Committee of Deputies appointed to protect the Civil Rights of Dissenters ^ to { tie Ggwe ral Meeting , 16 / A December , 1 ^ 25 .
The Committee have again the satisfaction of reporting to the General Meeting , that their occupation the last year , as to any of the common objects of their attention , has uot been burtheusome . A few cases relative to property , and disputes respecting trusts , have occurred ,
which they have attended to with various success ; but none of importance sufficient to merit particular detail . The Dissenters' Registry , they have endeavoured to arrange so as to answer its purposes , as well as can be accomplished without Parliamentary authority , for
which they have not thought it desirable to press , — -as , when the question relating to their Marriages shall be again brought forward , it may be found practicable to introduce the other subject without much additional expense or troufcle as part of the Public Bill ; and , in the mean time , if the Redcross-Street
Registries are ( in common with all others except the Parochial ones ) inadmissible as legal evidence in a Court of Justice , they are , nevertheless , highly advantageous as records of fact , and as indexes , by which complete legal evideuce' of the dates of Births ( not merely of Baptisms ) may be obtained .
Ou the nuost important of the matters committed to their care , the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts , they have only to report , that by the advice and with the entire concurrence of all whom they have consulted as best in formed on that head , and most interested , in the
issue , they resolved to take no step during the last Session of Parliament ;—and considering its delicacy , the variety and complication of the interests concerned , and the feverish state of the country at the ^ preseut crisis on every thing relating theraUv they submit to the Meeting Jhe ^ pediefjey ; of icfraining frqm entering

into any discussion of details in this Beport . The Committee , however , beg to \ assure the Meeting , that though , as a body , dissolved , they continue mdtvidiu ally , as firmly as ever , attached to the principles on which their dissent is founded , and as desirous of employing their
most vigorous efforts to procure the re ^ peal of every restraint on Religious liberty , whenever an opportunity shall appear of exerting themselves with reasonable probability of advantage . One , they cannot but hope , may be anticipated at no very distant period , from the
increasing liberality of the times;—of which , they are happy to be able to furnish the following recent proof and example . In , the note , p . 201 , of the 12 mo edition oi the Proceedings of the Committee , it ip said , " Dissenters are also disabled , £ a of
the ground scrupling the Sacramental Test , to be called to the Bar , by the Honourable Society of Gray ' s Inn ; that Society haying an order or bye ^ lavyy which requires a candidate for that degree to produce a Certificate of havuig taken the Sacrament . The other Inns of
Court have no such law . This blot the Society hadf overlooked too long . To its honour be it now recorded , that this most exceptionable bye-law was abrogated by ai ! order spontaneously issued by the Benchers on the 16 th of November last , which has placed the admission to the Bar of the Students of this Ina on
the same impartial footing on which , hi the other Inns of Court , it has long stood .
