Sir,—Your readers, " poor" or otherwise, may find some
help iii understanding what has not been decided in the
Clifton Communion case, if they have before them the
following extract from the judgment delivered by the
Lord Chancellor :

" And, in the first place, their lordships must observe
that if they had here to examine whether the appellant
(Mr. Jenkins) has in point of fact either entertained or
expressed the opinions attributed to him by the learned
judge, or if they were called upon to decide that those
opinions or any of them could be entertained or expressed
by • member of the Church. whether layman or clergy-
man, consistently with the law and with his remaining
In communion with the Church, they would have looked
upon this case with much greater anxiety than they now
feel in its decision. They desire to state in the most
eniohatic manner both that there is not before them any
evidence that the appellant (Mr. Jenkins) entertains the
doctrines attributed to him by the Dean of Arches, and
that they do not mean to decide that those doctrines are
otherwise than inconsistent with the forinularies of the
Church of England. This is not the subject for their
lordships present consideration."
The extract is from a verbatim report of the judgment
Your obedient servant,

On Friday the eleven men charged with the mutiny and
murders in November lest on board the Lennie were
brought for tbe foorth time before Sir Thomu Henry at

He was an Austrian, lettes and as he said he could not
speak English well, Sir Thomas Henry directed that the
interpreter should be sworn. The witness preferred to
give evidence in the Italian. He said—l am Giuseppe

years of age. I have bsen seven rein at sea. In October
