—lo reply to a protest, forwarded to the Bishop of
Salishwy against hie views of the priesthood, as
it:pred in his letter to the Bev. 8. 0. Oshorne,
and also spinet extreme ritualistic rites essentially
tending to the Flemish practice of confession and
and Ease doctrine, the Bishop has replied
as follows :

I hove received today your letter, end the protest,
" which contains," you toy, "about or mote than 800
signatures from magistrates, olorry. geritismosi 75011150,
tradespeople, from Poole, Ltme, B!whores, Wiinboroe,
kind Port, and Blandford."
I am much soseerned to and that sixteen of my
clergy in Dorset do sot believe that the power to
absolve ptmitents in the name of the Lord ho. been
'smutted to them.
Of wares the leeching which such a disavowal implies
must have had its Wilmot with sores of the laity, but
still I ant surprieed that eo many of them protest that
this ministration has not been committed by our Lord
to His Chun*, and so eastradiet, as it seems tome, the
plain and historic teeehing of the Church of &gland.
The eireamstanes under whisks I wrote the letter to
-With the protest refers did not led we te take soy
abatement about the limitations which our Chorea, has
Imposed es the exercise of this power; but I shall,
flee 'aerate, bare at no distant time an opportunity of
doing so publicly, and I may possibly then think it
desirable to avail mroall of ii.

' lighting was lodlopemebie. He called the attention of
the Conseil to the small outlay made on Fordington
