li rtECROPOLITAN COURT OF ARMAGH. MONDAY, OCT. 21, 1322. [rite ai TRH ARMAGH VOLUNTELS The °fries of his Grace the Loru Archbishop of Armagh, Primate and Metropolitan of all Ireland, at the pro / motion of Thomas Tilly. the Proctor of said Office; against the Honorable and Right It d Percy Jocelyn, Lord Bishop of (looter, and one of the Suf . fragan Bishops of the Metropolitan Church of Ar magb. This cause of Office was this day called on for bear ing in the presence of firs Grace the bold Massie, and t ,or of his Suffragan Bishops, six.—The Lords Bishops of Kilmore, Derry, Demote, and Rsphoe, and the Right Honorable Doctor Radcliff, his Grace's Vicar-Ge neral, and of other distinguished and respectable per sonages. The Bishop of Clogher having been thrice tailed in open Court, did not appear; and in pain of his contumacy and contempt, the cause was proceeded in to an bearing , an], lastly, to its final determination. Sir Henry - Meredyth, the leading Advocate for theOf• fice, stated the case. He lanseated to find, from the vales heretofore, and as this day pronounced in this those, that the Right Rev. Prelate, has not appeared in this Court in person or by his Proctors. The absence of an • accused person, when a crime is sought to be establish oil against him, to those who take a part in the accusa tion, must ever be matter of serious regret and anxiety, hat ore so than in the present cause, whose im portance, io respect of the persuo accused, the enormity of the offence imputed, and its certain result if esta blished, has imposed upon bins, and those who have Dees entrusted with, and mast take a part in, its con duct and determination, a heavy responsibility sod painful duty; sad which are considerably added to and encreased by his Lordship's absence. The absence of his Lordship has also occasioned much delay. inconve- Aimee and exposure, which would otherwise have beet prevented, and from this circumstance has been render ed unavoidable. But this circumstance, though it may be regrotted, may yet be of importance in the ultimate &cams of this cause, and the consideration of the grounds upon which it is to be supported. This is a cause to which his Grace has given his high name and authority. The right to institute such a pro ceeding belongs to him as a Superior of the Church, and is necessary for the due exercise Whitt spiritual au thority over those who are sulWct to him and his tied 'stations; and the exercise of this right by him as the Archbishop or Metropolitan over his suffrtgan Bishops, is now so well established in law, principle, and in prece dent, that it cannot be disputed. to this case a more .than ordinary discretion has been observed. A pasts* has been selected for, and appointed protsoter of this suit and Proctor of Office, who from his well known in tegrity, information, and experience sea Proctor of the Prerogative Court, and of other the Ecclesiastical Courts in Ireland, could be safely entrusted with the cosiest of a cause in itself, and in its consequences, so import- ant to the individual and the public, and with as expec tation that every thing necessary for its maintenance and establishment would be adopted and performed; and if any Batik was then wanting to sustain that opt neon, it would he now justified by the proceedings which have bees taken in this cause. A further caution has been observed in respect of, and prior to the com mencement of this cause, not as a measure absolutely necessary, but as one of singular prudence and discretion. The charges were serious and of as heinous nature. It r as right to have an early assurance that they were pro liable and could he sustained. For this purpose the provi sions and directions of the statute of the 6th of lieu. Ist. .chap. 6, were resorted to and followed. A person who had been s- - spectator of the commission of those mitts, b Dar Bishop and hisassociate in crime, and could posi tively swear to theta, was required so to do previous to ,thicsuit. Sack a person was procured. He was per- , aottally examined upon his oath, is the resew* of. Ma, amee the Lord Primate, and upon that saanitasiiiiat. 'which was reduced into writing, and forms now a part aff the record in these proceedings; he swore to each facts as left not a doubt as to the propriety of, and ne cas -y for the proceedings. The citation in this cause at ccordingly issued and delivered for execution. It, entrusted for that purpose to the proper officer of rte Court, and with a direction to serve it upon the Bi shop, or at Lis proper place of residence—his palace in the city and diocese of Clogher. Ou the 21st day of August last, that citation was returned into this Court with certain affidavits annexed to it, by which it appear ed; that every effort and due diligence were used, and lopiry made for the Bishop, so as to have him served with that citation. Upon that return being so made, his Grace was pleased, and according to law, to decree a citation Ili: et Media. and to be executed not only Within the diocese of Clogher, bat also in the archdio telle of Dublin, where' it was unilerstsod or kaowo that Cte Bishop bad an occasional . residence. A suffi cient time was given for the doe execution of these pro cesses, and tar theappearance of the Bishop. Every ef fort was used to serve him with these citations, and to signify to him and to the public the commencement of this suit, and the necessity fur these proceedings. These citations were posted upon the doors of his palace and of his Cathedral Church, upon the doors of his house in the city of Dublin, and of the church of that parish in which that house is situate. Copies of those citations were served upon the Dignitaries sod officers of his church and diocese—upon his men of business, intimate ftiends and relatives; and so extensive was the inquiry fur him, and great the efforts to serve him with process, and to certify the commencement of theproceedings, and it. necessity and import, that his Grace, on theStli ofSept. last, was pleased, and according to law, to declare him contumacious, and in contempt for his non-appearance. And it was sot until the 26th of September, and after an entire month was expended in an effectual attempt to procure the appearance of the Bishop, and his doe sub. mission to this High Court and its proceedings, that a liberty was given to the Proctor of office to exhibit those articles which contain the charges of crime and immorality, which have since become the subject of proof, and the foundation of a sentence of deprivation in this comae.—These proceedings are thus detailed and adverted to, in order to shew the deliberation with which this cause has been conducted, and the anxiety that has leen inenif.sted to give to the Bishop an opportunity far Iris appearance and defence. But this exertion has been ineffectual, and to this hour he remains wilfully absent and in contempt. By this conduct Vs has much Inv eased the length of pleading and burden of proof— In his absence it was necessary to allege and prove many far s hich mutt have been admitted or established by hie appearance and deed of proxy—his qualification, and, the jurisdiction of this Court, would hare been in this nionner admitted or established, and the formal and necessary proofs to sustain this part of the case would have been mulch lessened in their number and amount, The *ming which has been thins exhibited, and to sgiieli full and sufficient proofs have been applied, and 'loon which the sentence of the Court is alone to be fuunded. contains within it and its detail, the many sir e: atustances necessary for its support and establishment, and shall be here shortly adverted to : • .The Bishop ofClogher is an Ecclesiastic, and as nth ...bled to the laws of the church. He has been for matey years a Priest is Holy Orders. la the year 18419, he ism promoted to the united Bisbopricks of Leighlin and Ferns: on that occasioe be was duly consecrated sod en tiirosed, and lie then swore canonical obedience to the then Archbishop of Dublin, as his Metropolitan, and I enimcribed to the canons of the Church, For eleven years he acted as the Bishop or Pastor of that Diocese. sad with a character and conduct which did honour to 4 I Meow* aril his high .see, igimmaliuies i t=k 1920, end a little more that two timothy a fter don of his'present Majesty so the throne, he was /teeniest rof 4 hY of edvenceolesi•eadwas aetordinglytrensitsd to ohs See of Clogber, and W itshigh hoerow end advant ages.

That Canon particularly prohibits the fort mission of those offenses , of which he stands chat ' under the heaviest penalties of the Law; and It is e violation of that Cason, sad under its 'authority, that the cause of deprivation is mow proceeded in against him. The particular facts which coestitate that of fence are folly detailed in the pleading 4W tha wri tt " evidence. That evidence is now permanent and recorded; cannot be departed from or altered. Those parts which immediately go to constitute his crime, are full and par ticular.

Oo that oddities he would slake this observation; it fully evinced the exist** at thaw evil habits and prepensitits, in that unhappy wow with which he then stood charged. and which firmed the foundation of that sentence which was to be pronounced against him in this cause. That evidenee also proved the fatal and depraved purposes for which be associated himself with a private soldier; wholly beneath him in reek and station. as the unworthy sad vicious parfait of his depravity mod guilt. The place chose* by him for that base purpose was also subtlest to him at &Prelate of the Church; and a man of his WO rank aid skidoo; it was a common Ale-bones, situate in St. Albse's Plate. in the city of Westminster, and county of Middlesex. in England. In his career of vice, be was fortunately, nay. be would add. he was providentially arrested before be hid perpetrated the last foul act, or crime, which he him self designed ; and by which if committed, his life would be forfeited to the offended lows and justice of the toootry ; the many witnesses to his disgrace and degra dation, too plainly showed and convinced him of their fell knowledge of his base bets and purposes.

He bed open him at the time, his usual and proper habit sad dress as a Bishop, or dignitary of the Church. There was no disguise or concealment upon his person or appearance: That circumstance had crested an early suspicion and observance of him and his actions on that night and has eontribeted, with many other circumstances proved in this cause, to the establishment of his identity, which from his conduct is the cause, and under other einem. stances, might have been difficult of attainment and of proof. As be was advanced in custody to the watch house, and was surrounded and insulted by many per sons who pressed upon him, and in a situation degrading to himself and his high office, be approached to and passed the gates of Carlton Palace. What his sensations and sentiments were, or must have been on that occasion, may be conceived but cannot be expressed : be most have felt that he was " fallen." That feeling he himself displayed at that moment in a strong, convideive, but ineffectual struggle, for release and enlargement: a dr comstance too that is of value in the ascertainment of his guilt and identity. Upon his arrival at the watch-house, the Bishop and his associate were brought together into the presses:toot the constable of the watch, a Mr. John Latchford, a principal witness examined in this cause. The Bishop bad then and again to meet and see those persons who he knew could anti did depose against him ; in his pre sence and hearing, and of his associate, the full particu lars of their crime were disclosed and detailed; he did not and could not deny their truth ; his name and ad dress were asked of him by Latchford ; be positively de clined and refused to give them. That refusal under its circumstances was natural ; the constable, however, had a duty to perform. and after that refusal, and in order to obtaia some information as to the person who was thus heavily accused, and yet appeared to be, and was in the habit of a dignified clergyman, he thought it necessary to examine the Bishop's person. He then approached to him, and even at that moment the Bishop bore apon his person strong evidence of and by his acts and ex pressions at the moment, fully admitted his guilt; during that search the Bishop was observed by Latch ford to take from his pocket a paper writing, to tear it with violence, and hastily throw the pieces or fragments of it when torn, into the fire place of the room is which he then stood This circumstance attracted the atten tion of Latchford ; he did not then observe upon it ; he knew that there was no fire in the grate nor any other paper in it.--The Bishop WAS shortly afterwards remov ed from the room, end to a cell orplace of solitary con finement within the watch-house. Shortly after his Fe moral he was heard by Latchford to cry with a load voice, and to ask hint.' could he not get bail ;" and no reply Inrinie given, lie wilted for pen, ink, and paper, in order that he should unite a note or letter. 'fie pen., ink, and paper, nete furnished to Lim by the directions' of Latchford, and with a view t:iat he slionld he thereby enabled to obtain some knowledge of the Bishop's name and address, which were still unknown to him. Ti.. ' note was written by the Bishop, aid by his desire it au delivered to Latchford, in order that it should be sent to the person and place to whom and where it was directed, Latchford retained the note. It was not his business to admit the Bishop to hail—he could not doom. The Bishop., in an anxious and importunate wanner, regaested i urged Latchford to seed the note as directed. Lit ; ford informed him he did not and could sot send I. The Bishop agaia and again called on and pressed b , I to do so, and in an earnest and oupplieatiog tons , voice, cried nut and said, " Poe BoCe sahosendit A ' bat Latchford retained the Vete tied it is mew la ITC . . .4 ...... dente, tad before the Court.

Soon after his arrival then he sas brought before Mr. Dyer. the sitting Magistrates and one of the Justices of the Peace for the county of Middlesex. In the presence and the hearing of the Bishop and the soldier, the several persoss who had charged them with their agents, were severally, and apart. and upon their oaths, a:audited. It was viva voce examination. Th.. Bishop was then professionally assisted. They deposed to and detailed the same facts against him which they bad stated in the watch-house, and are now ie their sworn evidence in this cause. The Bishop did not contradict. or deny, dm tenth of them, charges. He wee particularly plied on aid required by the Magistrate to attend to him, and in order to give him a Nether opportanity for•denial or ;lettuce. he read to him and to the soldier, a private and short sots of these examinations . which he bad taken for his own in. formation and guidance—bet the Bishop and soldier re mained silent—they sought not any evidence, they relied not on reey facts for their acquittal, or proof of their innocence.— , The Bishop appeared before the Magic ate and his chief clerk, Mr.• Fitapatrick. (a principal witness to this transaction) in the dress of a dignified clergyman. The biter which the Bishop had tore, and endeavoured to destroy the preceding night. was they produced by Mr. Latchford , and given to Mr. Dyes • Mr. Dyer read it. It was of a private ea tare.

The note which had been written- by the Bishop in the cell was then produced. and read before him by the Magistrate. The cir cumstances under which that note had bees written and detained were folly detailed by Latchford.—'fbry were not denied or contradicted. They were admitted by the Bishop. He was then informed by the Magis trate that his offence was bailable, and that bail to the amount of 15001. himself, and two sureties,of 2501. each, would be respired for.bis appearance at the next Clerk enwell Sessions, and his trial for the offences then im puted to and sworn *guest him. His bail were is at tendance. lb was then called on by Mr. Fitzpatrick. as. Chief Clerk of the office, and in order to perfect his bail, to give him his name and address. The Bishop hesitated, and for a time refused ; be was then informed. and in the presence and healing of his intended bails noes, that it was necessary for bits to give his true name and address; and that without it his bail could sot be effected, or himself discharged. He, then, of Wessell and in the presence and hearing of the Magistrate. his Clerk, and Latchford. freely and voluntarily did state and declare,and, for the first time, gave them to know that he was the Honorable and Itiglit R 11 Percy Jocelyn, Bishop of Clogher, in Ireland; and that be was then reading, or lodged, at 21, Montages -street, Portman-sqoare, the house to which his note of the pre ceding night had been directed. His bail were then. in his internee and hearing, sworn to their qualifications, names, and residences.

These facts are fully detailed in thesvidente of Fitzpatrick and Latchford. sod Fits patrick has confirmed his testimony by the production of one book in which, at the time, be made an entry of the names and residinces of the Bishop and his bail,and his entry perfectly agrees with, and confirms the parole testimony. The Clerkenwell Sessions commenced on the 9th of September last. 'float fact is alleged in the pleading and proof. It is also alleged that the Bishop did not at tend to take his trial at those Sessions, pursuant to his rerogni . That was not a necessary proof for the office, or to sustain its cue. But it was alleged by way of challenge, anti to this hoar it remains nocontradicted and unexplained.—(To be comtinsicd.) f t 11 . • • .111 NIIDDIESEX SESSIONS. THURSDAY, NOY. 7.
