Note 26 — Chapter XV
Reading edition
“In the year 1704 a bill was brought into the House of Commons against occasional conformity; and, in order to make it pass through the House of Lords, it was proposed to tack it to a money bill. This occasioned warm debates, and at length it was put to the vote, when 134 were for tacking; but a large majority being against it, the motion was overruled, and the bill miscarried.
