Excerpt from The History of England, From Addington's Administration to the Close of William Iv's Reign (1801-1837) The only other measure of permanent interest which became law in this session was the so-called Horne Tooke act, oc casioned by the return of Home Tooke, who was in holy orders, for Old Sarum. Such a return was contrary to custom, but the precedents collected by a committee of the house of commons were inconclusive. It was accordingly enacted that in future clergymen of the established churches should be in eligible for seats in parliament, while Horne Tooke was deemed to have been validly elected, and retained his seat. The house of commons found time, however, for an important and well sustained debate on India, in which among others Dundas, now no longer in office, showed a thorough knowledge of questions affecting Indian finance and trade.
