Russell) intimated his intention of recommending her Majesty to issue a commission at some future day. In 1851 he made a motion against aca- demical tests, but was counted out. On the order of the day (June 24, 1854) for the consideration of the Oxford University Bill as amended, Mr. Heywood moved and carried, by 252 votes against 161, the abolition of religious teste at matriculation, but was beaten the same evening in an attempt to abolish all tests on taking degrees, though eventually (June 29) he carried a clause by 233 against 78, in favour of their abolition for a bachelor's degree in arts, law, and medicine. A clause in the Cambridge University Reform Bill doing away with teste on teking degrees in arts, law, medicine, and music, was carried by 118 to 41 (June 20, 1856).
