Part of Papers of Richard Monckton Milnes, Lord Houghton
Everingham. - Delighted to accept invitation to Fryston, where he always feels 'less gagged about the Pope & Cardinal [Wiseman?]' than elsewhere; cannot second his friend Arthur Duncombe's nomination for the Riding on account of disgust at religious measures in Parliament. His deep opposition to the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill; ridiculous attempts of the Church of England to exert spiritual authority when it is merely a political engine. Glad to hear of Milnes' son Richard's happy match.
