Is logical position at all. Tad two costae of
chains/au of the vestry by law, sod the other
position of the minister appointing his own church-
warden, were two very different things. For this
reasoo—that the legal chairmanship was founds I by
Act of Parliament, which vs. called statute law,
and no custom prevailel over ststute law. But the
other logical soqu wee of appoiutiog cilurchwardeu
was not founded upon the statute law, for there was
no Act of Parliament which said the minister shall
appoint hie own cherchwrien. The canon says so,
but outom could not over-rtlla or override statute
law. (dear, hear.) cool 1 n ray he was hid-

common sense of it. (Applause.) Be•dies, you have

goodness knows I have too many rights already, and I

expects every luau to do his duty, and the Vicar of
Wimborne is resolved to do his. (Applause.) Thera is
no escapa. Ido not wish any rash action to be taken,
and now I am here there is no option for me, but I am
bound to go into that chair, and into that chair I mean
to go. (Applause, and uproar.)
Mr. WILACIN : N. no.
Toe : Mr. Wilson says no, but I don't care.
Mr. WILIWN: But we do care, sir.
The Vices: It is painting the lily and gilding
refined gold. You have added a compliment to the
law, but I may tell you whether you had elected we
or not I should have gine int g that chair. Now I
think, as far as I can, I have explained matters to you.
(Cries of "Take the chair.") Well, I take the chair, and
now I am in the chair I wish to expliin what I am
via; to do in the chair. Remember How I am the
legal chairman of tags meeting. (Applause, and "No,

to say they have voted me to the chair ; it is • harm-
less pleasure, and I fre-ly allow it them. (Laughter.)
But I may say I lion't care whether y m did it or nt.
I here publicly say I am n it in this chair in pursuance
of your vote, but I am here because it is my legal
position and duty. (Applause.)

The VICAS : At any rate, I have male this clear.

Law really is.
Mr. Wittion : We don't admit it, air.

(A Voice: Go on, we'd let you have it.) If arty rate-
payer wishes to dispute me he can do so adterwerds.
Mr. WIIAOS : You won't allow us to speak. (At
this stage there was g.eat confusion and uproar, aud
Mr. Witsos called for order, "for," sail he, "you
have sleeted your chairman, and now I hope you will
listen to him." (Applause.)
The WAR then explained the business of the meet-
ing, viz., to elect two churchwardens. lie expressed
his determination not to allow any subject to be
discussed irrelevant to that bushier. If any
persons had any dispute or argument upon any
other matter, he should be very sorry to do so, but
he should have to leave the chair, and adjourn the
meeting. (Hear, bear.)
After further dimension, Mr. WILIION rose, an
proposed the election of Mr. C. Ellis and Mr. B. J.
Kerrible. In the remarks which the Vie sr had thought
kmai enough to address to him pore wally, it would
oe in the recAlection of the wee:mg ha (the Vicar)

listeu to an, remarks any gentleman might make.
Wei he still prepared to do aa? (Moe VICAR : Yes,
gait-, as far as Ica s.) li' is soil only say per*. molly
ha hiussed had uo wish whatever that he should net
alt in that chair. (The Vicar bowed his acknowledg-
ment.) He believed the majority of those present
bid listened very attentively to his honest convic-
tions, and, from his point of view, his plain state-
ment of the law on the matter. tie had put it before the
pi hhionere there assembled in • manner which ha I not
been offensive to the members id any party or section.
hal no doubt he (the Vicar) oonsoieutiously
believed he was right, and that he was convinced of it
legal position as vicar of the pariah, fortified as he was,
perhaps, by the 0 t very impartial opinion of the
Bishop of the Di case, an I the not very impartial
opinion of the gentleman who was paid to give his
