MONDAY, JULY 1, 1822. BISHOP OF PETERBOROUGH'S EXAMINATION QUESTIONS. MR. EDITOR—I am sorry that a temporary absence from your horizon has prevented me from the sublime and beautiful sight of the balloon, which has lately ascended from it with such majesty, to the amazement, if not to the admiration, of your literary spectators. They must wonder at least to see this machine inflated with so much gas of spleen and indignation against a man, whom this towering aeronaut him self calls, with the same breath, a perfect stranger. Hitherto the very name has, in all civilized society, been a shield from personal abuse, which has been till now chiefly confined to familiars, who are too apt to claim their pri vilege, such as it is, of railing at one another. I howeier shall hope to keep within the rules of good breedings and shall not follow his example of personality, as it neither suits my taste, nor falls in with the general plan of your invaluable Paper; which, open to all parties, and belonging to none, stands forth so pre-eminent, with a noble and disinterested spirit, in the cause of truth, and consequently in the support of the Established Church, which you believe to be founded upon that rock of adamant, against which the gates of hell are never to prevail. It is part of that Church of which our Lord him self speaks, and to whom (in reply to F.D., by the way, I mean to contend) the Apostles al lude, as long as I believe that it is founded on the truth—as every Church that is founded upon the same principle has the same right to contend. To return, however, to " Justus," I am not a little concerned that our correspondence should begin under such unfavourable auspices, as no thing but the greatest rancour and hostility could palliate the imputations, which, stranger as he professes himself, he would throw upon my cha racter. These I shall pass by with the silence of contempt, which is perfectly reconcilable with pity for his ignorance ; and shall only _ad vise him, if he is not too passnatc to take ad vice, to look over my letter-orte4iore, and he will'find that the chief stress of his complaint is not so much against what I deliver of myself, as what I quote from an eminent paper, which, whatever ,may be thought of the use which it makes of its information, is in general esteemed one of the best informed in the real history of the times of any in circulation. Ofthe facts so quoted, I am well convinced, by my own observation ; and no man, much less an anonymous correspondent, for the first time of his introduction, can have any right to call for authorities, nor will I ever bring forward indi viduals to bear witness to a fact, even though it were not so notorious. Neither shall I consider myself at all exposed to any such interrogatories when I declare another fact, in confirmation to a degree of the former, that there is the same party spirit presiding, as I learn from most undoubted authority, in a particular College at each of the Universities.—ln one of them the members in general devote themselves to the service of what are called Evangelical Preachers : and in the other its members actually train up young men for that purpose, partly, and sometimes wholly, at their own expense ; and in their zeal to make proselytes begin, as it is reported, even in some instances with their pupils as soon as they can lisp, and teach them to ring the changes from morning to night upon their favourite terms of grace and justification, faith and election, &c. This, however, is certain, that such pupils are trained up in these particular Colleges at Cam bridge and at Oxford, but especially in the latter, where the leading Fellows, and indeed the mem bers are almost all to a man of the same spirit ; and, like the famed votaries to animal magnetism, seem to be struck with the same electric spark with their fellow Evangelicals, though at 200 miles distance.--These pupils so trained and admitted, are strictly watched and their characters thoroughly sifted, to know of a truth what spirit they are of, lest in the changes and chances of this world, notwithstanding all the care and zeal of their fraternity at the College, any spark of that holy fire should escape, which is so necessary to keep in full play the devout passion of the elect. When once they have passed this fiery ordeal they are thought properly qualified for kindling the same godly flames _of devotion through the land, and are candidates for orders and then for livings in the presentation of this holy family : the first of which is fortunately as yet note so much as the last at their own disposal, as no Bishop that I know of, however he may he suspected to favour them, bas openly joined this assio'ciation in the trade of Simon Magus. No: thanks to Heaven, as yet Candidates for Orders are to be judged by a more sacred and intelligent Tribunal ; by one too wise to be im posed upon, too just to be bribed, and too mer ciful not to allow for infirmities, as far as they can be allowed for, without prejudice to the truth. The venerable Bishops that compose this tribunal feel that they are placed on high to pro , test the Church from the contagious influence of all such as would seek under this covert and insi dious form a refuge in its bosom : they are seated LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JuNt 29. FAGAN AND WIFE V. HUCKLE. This was an action to recover damages for an assault com mitted by the defendant's dog on the wife of the plaintiff. The parties, it appeared in evidence, live in Angel-court, Wind mill-street., and each keeps a faithful Tray, who are on terms of friendship almost parallel with their masters ; in other words, they quarrel whenever they meet. On the day in question, Mrs. "Fagan's dog had been taken out by the ser vant for an airing, and was on his return, when he was en countered by his opponent, and a desperate battle commenced. Mrs. Fagan, hearing the din of war, went out to aid her fa vourite, or separate the combatants. This she effected; but Mr. Huckle was determined to carry on the contest to extremes, and encouraged his dog to persevere. Mrs. Fagan, who was armed with a whip, then took her dog up, intending to carry him off the field ; but Mr. Huckle animating his Tiger by his voice and gestures, Tiger made a spring at his adversary, not withstanding the position which he had taken near his mis tress's heart, and missing his aim, fixed his teeth in Mrs. Fagan's arm, which was seriously lacerated. This was the assault complained of, and proved by plaintiffs' witnesses. On the part of the defendant several witnesses were called, who described Mr. Huckle's dog as the most patient, inoffen sive animal in the parish ; but spoke of Mrs. Fagan and her pet as bearing very different characters. They denied that 'Mr. Huckle had any to do with the fray, but described Mrs. Fagan as coming out armed with a tremendous whip, with which she attacked poor Tiger, and paid his sides without mercy ; she at the same time took her own dog up in her arms, and was retreating in triumph, bestowing on Mr. Huckle every courteous epithet which the St. Giles's dictionary, improved by her own fertile imagination, would furnish her with. The wit nesses did not deny that her arm was bitten, but one of them went so far as to declare her opinion, that she received the in jury for which she now sought redress and damages at the hands of the defendant from her own faithful animal. _ _ The Jury, after considering some minutes, found for the plaintiffs—Damages, One Farthing ; Costs, One Farthing. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JUNE 29. IMPORTANT BECISION TO LIVERY STABLE-KEEPERS. ASHLEY V. PITT. Mr. Serjeant LENS stated that this was an action of trover brought to recover the value of two horses belonging to the plain tiff, which were in the possession of the defendant, a livery. stable keeper at Brighton, and which he conceived he had a right to detain until he had been paid the sum of 321. 10s. for their keep. The Learned Serjeant said he should prove that 321. 10s. was an unreasonable charge, and that 291. the sum justly due, had been tendered and refused. He also contended, that the defendant being a livery stable-keeper, had no right of lien upon horses left in his possession, but must resort to an action of contract against his debtor. Mr. Serjeant TADDY was about to argue on the right of a livery stable-keeper to detain horses until payment of the debt due to him from their owner, in respect of their keep, when Lord Chief Justice DALLAS observed, that for the purposes of this cause, he should hold that a livery stable-keeper had no right of hen on the property of his debtor, but must resort to his contract. He distinguished this case from that of an innkeeper, who was obliged by law to receive a traveller, and who, therefore, had a remedy commensurate with his obliga tion. He would, however, reserve the point for the considera tion of the Court, and give the 'defendant leave to prove a non suit, if the Court should be of opinion that, under all the cir cumstances, the livery stable-keeper had the right of lien. Trinder was then called by the plaintiff, and swore that he went with the plaintiff to the defendant's house, and saw 291. tendered, which the defendant refused to accept. Cross-examined—Saw two ten pound notes and nine sove reigns; witness was formerly a porter at Lincoln'S-inn, #nd was discharged. Other, witnes,F*.vicre then called to prove that . 321..105. was an 'exorbitant c.—ge. Mr. Serjeant TADDY, for the defendant, stated, that he thought he should be able to overturn the testimony of Trinder as to the tender, and for this purpose he called Mr. Lane, Steward of Lincoln's inn, who deposed, that from what he knew of Trinder, he would not believe him on his oath. A pr.use of some minutes ensued, in consequence of Mr. Ser jeant Lens being in consultation with his client, on the testi mony just given ; at last, he said he was requested to ask Mr. Lane's reason for this statement. • Mr. Lane replied, that Trinder had confessed having planned a robbery, while he was a porter of Lincoln's-inn, on the cham bers of one of the Members. Lord Chief Justice DALLAS.—The porters are also employed as the watchmen of the inn ? Mr. Lane.—Yes, my Lord. Some Stable-keepers were then called, who stated it as their opinion, that the charges in the bill were reasonable ch4rges, for the best forage, which, it was acknowledged, had been given to the plaintiff's horses. Mr. Seijeant LENS replied. Lord Chief Justice DALLAS summed up the evidence to the Jury, who returned a verdict for the plaintiff, on the two grounds, that there had been a tender, and that the tender was to the ull amount of the debt justly due for the keep of the horses. They gave 751. damages, the horses having been proved to be worth 36 guineas each. ARCHES COURT, JUNE 28. PERRIN V. PERRIN. This was a suit of - divorce, promoted by Mr. NV. Perrin, of Leadenhall-street, corn-factor, against Frances Eleanor, his wife, by reason of adultery. The libel, containing 14 articles, set forth the marriage on the 7th of April, 1818, after which the parties cohabited together at divers places, until on or about February, 1820, when in consequence of some differences, it was agreed they should se palate--an allowance of 11. 1 ls. per week being settled by the usband for the wife's maintenance. That in consequence of such mutual agreement, the parties accordingly separated, and Mrs. Perrin went to reside in the Kent-road, and afterwards at the house of Mr. Staitham, in Frederick's place, Vauxhall. By the evidence of Mr. and Mrs. Stait ham, she took possession of her apartments on or about the 11th of March, 1821, and in the course of a few days after, introduced to them a Mr. Hull, who at first was re ceived into the apartments of Mr. and Mrs. Staitham, but afterwards into her own apartments, where he continued alone with her sometimes for half an hour, and sometimes for several hours. This was during the first few days ; af ter which Mrs. Perrin absented herself from her lodgings for the space of two or three days ; and on her return informed the deponents that she had been to Beddington church to be mar ried to the said Thomas Hull; and that she made application to them, that in consequence of her marriage, hc. might be per mitted to sleep there; and in order that the marriage might be kept secret from the family of Mr. Hull (who resided in the same neighbourhood), the deponents were enjoined secrecy; and for the purpose of keeping it a secret from the servant girl, he was to be admitted after she had gone to bed, and let out in the morning before she got up. He was therefore regularly admitted by the deponents, and went to the bed-room of Mrs. Perrin, unknown to the servant or to any other person but themselves ; he slept with her two nights out of three for the space of three weeks, when he took leave of her, as he informed deponents, on his going to France. That he was frequently seen by the deponents in the bed-room of Mrs. Perrin in his night-gown ; and that a night shirt. marked T. H. was found in the bed of Mrs. Perrin by Mrs, Staitham. The several fact so!' adultery were distinctly denied on the part of Mrs. Perrin, who, in her responsive allegation, pleaded that the whole was a malicious fabrication on the part of Mr. and Mrs. StaithaFn, in consequence of a quarrel between them. ' Drs. JENNER and JESSE ADAMS, in support of the libel, contended that as an adulterous intercourse had been sufficiently proved by the evidence of Mr. and Mrs. Staitham, they trusted the Court would pronounce sentence of divorce. Dr. LusurN 0•1' ON, for Mrs. Perrin, contended that the story by Mr. and Mrs. S. was unworthy of credit. Mr. Green deposed to his attending Mrs. Perrin from the 14th or 15th of February, during which time she was confined to her bed for about a fort night dr three weeks. .Her complaint was spasmodic pains in the bowels. In the opinion of this witness it was most improbable, if not physically impossible in her then state of health, that she should have had connection, and he had no reason to believe that such was the case. She was subject to occasional delirium, and could scarcely have been in that state cohabiting with any man. Deponent visited her every day, and she had a sick nurs% The Court directed the case to stand over for the hearing of Dr. Dodson, on the same side, and afterwards Dr. Jenner's re ply. SUN. in the front, on purpose to take care that the holy ark be not defiled by the entrance of the unclean ;—or if any such have, by some over sight, been able to intrude, that they shall by a stricter form of examination be prevented from penetrating any further, and their mouths stopped from preaching doctrines, of which be fore they were opened under the licence of Arti cles subscribed in a latitudinarian sense, they were not so much as suspected; and because they now can do so no longer in the diocese of Peterborough, they complain bitterly of a want of toleration, and that the Bishop has no right to demand any thing but assent and subscription,— and they alone are to determine what shall be the sense of the Church Articles. If such presumption is to be encouraged, the jurisdiction of the Bishop is at an end—the can didate may turn round and examine the Bishop, and we must take the sense of our Articles from those who are just on the threshold, and not from those who are in the holy of holies; contrary to the constant and sober custom of our ancestors, who wisely thought the head was to govern the body, and not the body the head, and have ap pointed, by express canons, the Bishop to exa mine, whether for or , .lers or for livings, and as they can but examine in their own sense and un derstanding, the sense of each Bishop in his diocese must be tha standard of orthodoxy to the several candidates. This would be the com monly received sense, not only in his own dio cese, but in that of his brother diocesans, and of the Church in general, with scarcely one exception. Yet though, as far as I have heard, none of this Prelate's pious and venerable colleagues (who have been accused of silence by those who never knew the virtue of silence themselves,' dicenda tacen da locutis," and who were not themselves witnesses of the power of eloquence on the night of the peti tion in the cause of truth, which never looks for numbers on its side, but only the opportunity to shew itself in its own native dignity,) have exact ly adopted this particular mode of examination, but have each of them modes of their own. I, for one, can see no objection to this mode, so long as it consists with the general sense and spirit of the Church in the present dynasty ; in the present, I say—for if - the heads of the Church now may be supposed to interpret the acts dif ferently from the first compilers, we who sub scribe are bound to take them in the sense of those who actually impose them, and not in any peculiar sense of our own that may even be borne out, if that were possible, by the original framers. If this sense is to be taken, how convenient and useful is it for one of the Bishops (and all might have done the same) to propose questions in such a manner as to deliver the sense of the Church as to its Artioles in a more modern and concise form : and where can there be a form at once so concise and comprehensive as what is presented in these questions, more especially upon the particular points that have, from the circumstances of the times, risen into more im mediate importance, as the subjects are now in agitation, upon which even some of the very Priests of the Church are said to be dividing it against itself, and are aiming against its spirit under the masked battery of the letter. In such a precarious state, that there may not he diversity of opinion in preachers of the same Articles, and that they who subscribe to them may agree not only in form, but in spirit, in reality and not in name only, he whose right and office it is, to whom his diocese looks up as their model and arbiter, puts forth these ques tions to the candidate, that he may sift his prin ciples, and not merely listen to the sound of his voice, or only read the subscription of his hand ; but that he may know of a truth, what it is his duty to know, whether he is qualified or not for the preaching of those doctrines which are of such infinite importance to all that are to hear him. These questions are called 87 Articles, and the Calvinist is supposed to be involved in the greater embarrassment, frem having so many more to an swer than the Articles themselves; but they ought not to be considered in that invidious light ; they are only questions under the separate Arti cles, and we might divide their number into five points, and which, so far from being more diffi cult or more deeply involved than the Articles, are the clearest elucidation, as far as they can be elucidated, of their real meaning—and, to any but Calvinists, can admit only of one answer and interpretation ; for a child might answer them ; and the more a man has the simplicity of a child, the less likely he will be not to comprehend and admit them. The right to put these questions, if even it were doubtful, must now be placed beyond the reach of dispute, as it it so confirmed by the highest authority, notwithstanding all the noise and opposition that has been vented against it, —like truth, it has come only the purer from the ordeal. The expediency must be left to the bosom of him, to whom alone it belongs to decide, as more intimate with the concerns of his own diocese, and as best qualified to know what particular tenets prevail against which he is to be most on his guard, and what particular tem per of preachers he would be most eager to en courage : for I make no doubt that, notwith standing all the foul aspersions of his indignant adversaries, he has used that sober discretion and sound judgment in the discrimination, that entitles him to the praise and gratitude of all who feel any regard for the interests of the Church, which might otherwise be embroiled and torn to pieces by the discord of its own nominal defenders. That in the conscientious discharge of his duty; there may be some cases that press hard upon in dividuals, is no more a charge against his impar- PRICE SEVENPENCE.. tiality than in all other cases, whether of law civil or religious, where the individual interest must give way to that of the community at large ; but what has been the great hardships about which there are so many angry complaints ? Listen one moment to a plain fact, which will be enough, as stated in a paper to which I before alluded, renowned for its power, to put them down. " Since the Bishop of Peterborough has used in his diocese these questions, thirty-eight men have applied for Ordination, Curacies, &c., out of which number one inefficient candidate has been reject ed, and two Curates refused licenses, because one refused to be examined at all, though he acknow ledged the legal right, and the other because, in stead of giving brief intelligible answers, sent folio sheets of complex unintelligible matter, and declined giving any other.—Since the Bishop would not perjure himself by declaring that he had, according to the 48th and 49th Canons, as• certained that the applicant's doctrine was sound, of course he was rejected, whereupon the whole race of Methodists poured forth torrents of abuse in various publications ; reviled the Pre late with every bitter epithet, and predicted that the Mitre and the Crown would fall together ; put the whole House of Peers in motion, by pre senting a petition, which was immediately re jected ; to have legally accepted which the King, Lords, and Commons, and a Convocation, must have altered the existing laws.. 46 Because the House of Peers rejected the Pe. tition, a Rev. Mr. Grimshawe peremptorily di rected his Diocesan to relinquish the use of his questions, and threatened him with an action at law. The Prelate not being deterred from ful. filling his duty by this menace, Mr. Grimshawe wrote a very nonsensical pamphlet, in which he declared that a Methodist was a title of honour, and the Bishop's questions the bed of Pro crustes. " Since the publication of this precious bijou, there has been an attempt made in Norfolk to get up a Petition, but there was not matter enough to be found for the purpose. Then another attempt was made in the Diocese of Pe terborough, and Messrs. Buxton and Little Grey- Bennet enlisted to present and support it ; the former passed many a tedious day in rummaging musty folios for legal grounds on which to act, but he might as well have looked for the Em peror of China. This failure did not discou rage the assailants, and so they asked a Re verend Prelate to present it, who very properly scouted the proposal. At last they pitched on Lord Dacre, of whom they wish to make a cat's-paw." That he has burnt his fingers, by putting them into the fire which they had laid for him, may be seen by any who will take the pains to look at the speeches on that occasion, when be and a few of his colleagues in the tem poral peerage made as poor a figure as the Bishop (himself a host) makes the most brilliant in the spiritual, at once defending their" own right, and the right of the Church, of which he shines forth on this as on all occasions so zealous and intre. pid a champion. As to your other Correspondent F. D., I much regret that I- have not now room and time to spare upon one who appears calm and tempe rate by nature, but unfortunately falling in with peculiar societies, has acquired the same propensity to calling of names. I have only one word to say, that the Church, like Truth, stands firm between the two extremes of Calvinism and Arminianism, in which the sects fluctuate, some more, some less, from the spirit of their first Founder. Both of these deserve to be called sects : as I maintain, and perhaps shall prove at some future period, that the church is neither Calvinistic nor ,Arminian. That the Bishop has authority to im pose his own sense of the Articles upon those candidates who come to him for orders, &c. follows from his having the office of examination enjoined him by the Canons, as he cannot ex+ amine but in his own sense, as I have before observed, and that I believe to be the commonly received sense of his brethren in. the Church. Nor shall I ever plead guilty to the charge of bigotry, for asserting that as long as these can. didates appear to him to be either Calvinists or Ar• minians, or what are called Evangelicals (follow ing a gospel of their own), it would be kviolation of the duty which he owes to the .establishment, whatever may be their moral character, to admit them into the Church. .EQULTS. LYNN ELECTION.—This election commenced on Thursday, when the Hon. J. WALPOLE and Sir M. B. FOLKES appealed as the Candidates. The latter being the favourite of the mob, his friends committed various outrages, demolished the windows of the Duke's .Head lan, and even demolished that part of the hustings which be longed to the other party, and set fire to the timbers. The Yeomanry Cavalry were obliged to be called in, and the public tranquillity has not since been disturbed. The numbers at the close of the poll were—for WALPOLE 41; for FOLKES 42—six of the latter votes objected to. 'WESTMINSTER SEScIONS.—On SaturdaY Peter Langham, Jeremiah his . son, James: Ward, Rich.
