Calls for the legislative independence of Ireland at the Irish Volunteer Convention at Dungannon greatly influenced the decision of the government in 1782 to make concessions. It was through ranks of Volunteers drawn up outside the parliament house in Dublin that Grattan passed on 16 April 1782, amidst unparalleled popular enthusiasm, to move a declaration of the independence of the Irish parliament. "I found Ireland on her knees," Grattan exclaimed, "I watched over her with a paternal solicitude; I have traced her progress from injuries to arms, and from arms to liberty. Spirit of Swift, spirit of Molyneux, your genius has prevailed! Ireland is now a nation!" After a month of negotiation the claims of Ireland were conceded. The gratitude of his countrymen to Grattan was shown by a parliamentary grant of £100,000, which had to be reduced by half before he would accept it. Grattan then asked for the British House of Commons to reconfirm the London government's decision, and on 22 January 1783 the final Act was passed by parliament in London, including the text: Be it enacted that the right claimed by the people of Ireland to be bound only by laws enacted by his Majesty and the Parliament of that kingdom, in all cases whatever shall be, and is hereby declared to be established and ascertained for ever, and shall at no time be questioned or questionable. In September of the same year, Grattan became a member of the Privy Council of Ireland. He was expelled in 1798, but was re-admitted on 9 August 1806.

The Scripture Referendum was held on the same day as the Victorian Parliamentary Elections, in which J. Bowser ran against A.K. Buckley for a seat in the legislative assembly in the electoral district of Wangaratta and Rutherglen. The Scripture Referendum had three questions: "1. Are you in favour of the Education Act remaining as at present, strictly secular? 2. Are you in favour of such legislation as shall cause the scheme of Scripture lessons recommended by the Royal Commission on Religious Instruction to be taught in State schools during school hours to children whose parents desire the teaching (such lessons would be given subject to a conscience clause exempting teachers who object)? 3. Are you in favour of the prayers and hymns selected by the Royal Commission being used?"

Hard cover book. Alter Services as Proposed in 1928 (Holy Communion & 1928 Additions) Author: Not Individually Authored Publisher: Oxford University Press. Milford House, London. Date: 1927-1928 Further Information: Hard cloth covered book blue in colour with gilt lettering to spine.non-fictionThis is a Church of England liturgical publication tied to the famous 1928 Prayer Book controversy. The subject book is a separately printed "altar service" edition of the Communion service, not a full Prayer Book, but the Communion rite alone, formatted for use at the altar, often in large print for the celebrant. Its full title spells out exactly what it contains: "The Order Of The Administration Of The Lord's Supper Or Holy Communion With The Additions And Deviations Proposed In 1928." These books are often catalogued informally under the spine title "Altar Services as proposed in 1928." It presents the traditional 1662 Communion service but interleaves or appends the changes proposed for the 1928 revision, hence "additions and deviations." This lets a priest see, side by side, what the existing 1662 rite said and what the proposed 1928 revision would change, for example, an added prayer, an alternative prayer of consecration, a repositioned Prayer of Oblation, etc.flagstaff hill, warrnambool, shipwrecked-coast, flagstaff-hill, flagstaff-hill-maritime-museum, maritime-museum, shipwreck-coast, flagstaff-hill-maritime-village, the order of the administration of the lords supper, book, communion text, religious book
