Excerpt from The Annual Register: A Review of Public Events at Home and Abroad, for the Year 1866 Mr. Buxton supported the Bill, which would relieve not only Dissenters but Churchmen who conscientiously objected to these tests. Mr. B. Hope, Sir W. Heathcote, Mr. G. Hardy, and Mr. Hen ley opposed the Bill. Mr. Lowe saw no danger whatever in the Bill, as its object was merely to allow Dissenters to take their degree of m.a., and thus acquire a voice in the governing of the University. The Dis senters did not ask, nor desire to have, any share in the direction of the religious education of those who proposed to enter the ministry of the Church of England.
