Abstract
LONDON.—In accordance with reslutions passed at the extraordinary meeting bf the Convocation of the University of London held on July 28 last, an adjourned extraordinary meeting of the House was held on Tuesday week in the University Building, Burlington Gardens, which was very numerously attended. The Chairman of Convocation (Mr. F. J. Wood, LL.D.) presided, and in his opening address explained his ruling that under the said resolutions the business pending before the former meeting might now be proceeded with, and invited the House to resume the debate accordingly. At the time of the adjournment the House had a motion before it, made by Lord Justice Fry, for the reception and adoption of the report of the special committee appointed to crnsider the project of the “Association for Promoting a Teaching University for London.” To this motion an amendment had been moved by Mr. J. W. Bone, seconded by Mr. Philip Magnus, omitting all the words in the original motion after the word “received.” At Tuesday's meeting leave was given to Lord Justice Fry to accept the amendment, which thus became a substantive motion, to which his Lordship, however, immediately proposed to add “And that the House now consider what amendments, if any, ought to be made in the said scheme, and that such amendments, if any, be by way of instruction to a committee of revision.” For Lord Justice Fry's motion 76 only voted against 122 who negatived it. Ultimately after a three hours' sitting the debate was adjourned to Tuesday, December 8.
