TIIE Itol/WELL ROBBERY.
With referrnce to the robin ry which took place at
Mrs. Doti:o, Itoilwell.cottage, on August 27th, the following is
(we ire il.f .rtnesl, on the part of Mr.. Dash.) a correct state-
ment of the matter, in plan of the one which was given in
this nye' of the let instant, and which WM obtained from
another sooree, but one which we could not doubt
lin,. Davis, her dsughter, and the Fervent, all left the
house about half-past Ids an Sunday evening, to go to church,
leaving (as they imagined) everything secure. and Mrs. DAViI
taking with her the key of the front dooF. On returning
at about balfixest, eight, accompanied by three other ladies, tho
door seemed to open so unusually easy that Mrs. Davis
remarkesl that eornebody must have done something to it.
They all then went into the sitting-room on the ground door,
where, seeing all apparently as it had bee., left, they thought
It enS all right, and that Mrs Davies idea that the front door
lock had bey, tampered with was groundlem ; and after sitting
I r some short time the three ladies left. lin Davis and her
daughter then went upstalns to take off their things, and
almost immediately discovered that most of the drawers and
Waco in the several Ir drooms had been broken open, and
almost everything of value in the shape of money and Jewellery
bad been tsken. and amongst other things the whole of some
jewellery wide!t had been lately bought at an auction sale, and
which had .ady been sent up to the houao on the Saturday
night Keehn's. The police were immediately sent for, and
were on the -pot by about half-past nine, but up to the present
time no clue appears to have been found to the robbery, nor
has any single article been recovered. It unfortunately hap-
pened that the amount of money in the house at the time .1
the roblery was (owing to ci, cumstsnee.) unusually large,
amounUng to over £6O in gold and laok notes, £2O of which
Mr.. Davis ad only received from London by post in batik
note. on Saturday aftern. on. The robbery seems to have been
easily effected, as after seeing the house clear of Its inmates,
the thieves must have got over the back garden wail, (a thing
ewily done from the adjoining field), and entered the house by
the kitchen window, which opens into the back garden. (and
which on examination was found could be easily opened from
out-ide), and from the kitchen they obtained easy access to the
while of the rest of the house. The front dour bed been
evidently opened from the inside, and left on the latch, no as
to afford simple and easy egress to the thieves. This expla-
nation entirely does away with the ides of the robbery being
in any way mysterious or puzzling, as though the value of the
articles taken was compiratively large, the method of the
rubbery was extremely simple and ordinary."

last at the house of Mrs, Davis. The family were at divine
worship lu the evening, and while there the house was entered

crowed "Eliot and Pearce," and CU in gold and silver. Tele-
grams have been receised by the pollee in thin city inquiring
as to the character of a sweep named Bishop, of Westgate-
street, who it appears is suspected of being implicited in the
robbery. Bishop Is • returned convict, having been convictal

breaking at Weymouth, in connection with • areep named
C entent.s. A lady's house hot been broken into between six
and eight o'clock on Sunday night week, while the inmates
were at church, and the prisoner left Weymouth, an-1 he Wi•
suspected of bringing away a portion of the stolen articles in •
hamper. Witness found the hamper and °penal it, but did
not find any Jewellery or any of the mining articles. The police

had been sent, be now, under tho circumstances, asked for the

Yr. Griffin said an calker from Weymouth had been here, and
be (Mr. Griffin) told him that Bishop would be iii-charged that
morning unless ho heard something more from Weymouth.—
The prisoner was discharged, Mr. Griffin ob-ening, " I hope
he'll return to Weymouth. If he remains here he ss ill be looked

The Mayor having looked at the papers asked if
Bishop was in Weymouth at the time represented.
Bishop said be was.
The Mayor: Then you have nothing to complain of.
Are you • returned consist?
Bishop: Yee; but that is no reason why I should be
a thief now.
The Mayor : Whet are you complaining of?
Bishop: I think the police hero ought to send and
say I can °tear myaelf. Here is a man who knows
where I was at the time.
The Superintendent of Pollee: He seems to think
we ought to send and clear him; but I WARS of opinimi
he knew something of the robbery, and I am of the
same opinion now.
Ur. Butt : You had betttr apply to your solid.

Bishop: I have done that, and they sent me hero ; I
can prove I gets my living honestly.
Toe magistrates thought Bishop had nothing to
complain of.
The man said unless his character was cleared, it
would be the toss of £lOO a year to him. He came down
to Weymouth by excursion train to see his brother,
and could amount for his time.

the Synod. lie propourd "That whilst, in obedience The next letter was from Dr. R. P. Simpson as
to the wishes of the Lord Bishop of the diocese, the follows:—
laymen as euibled at this meeting have elected two of
their number (being wearuunie.ants) to represent the
the parish of kteloombe Regis at the ruri-decsnal meet-
ing to be held for the election of lay members of •
Diocesan Synod, they desire, moat respectfully, but
earnestly to represent to his Lordship the strong feeling
entertained by them that the plan of the proposed
Synod being based on the elective instead of the col-
lective principle, the Synod will foil to gain the sym-
pathy of the general body of churchmen, and will
probably occasion much strife and jealousy its the
diocese; and they farther submit teat in order to
obtain • fair representation of the various parishes at
any Church Conference, such parish should be repre-
sented by its own clergy, eburehwardens, and elected
laymen." "Resolved that the Coairmen be requested
to forward a copy of this resuluti n to the Lard Bishop
of the diocese." His obj..ctions were stated very fully,
in • trect published by Mr. Ryle. Among them were
that the tff.ct of an elective confer, nce will be to
prat:tic:ally exclude the Evangelicsl holy of the Church
of England, an ohj.ct nut at all to be desired. A col-
lective conference has the advantage that every branch
will be fully represented, while an elective one is most
unlikely to be so. At beset, three-fourths of the parishes
will have no pleas or voice in its proceedings, and in
rural parishes those elected will probably be all table-
men or landowners so that tbe cm:detentes is likely to be
exceedingly wanting in the popularity of its lay mem-
bers, the small farmerkend shopkeepers being emelt% led,
and the Conference becoming a'most entirely an
aristocratic body. The eburchwardens are precisely the
body to represent their parishes, and the only objection
was the enormoussise and unwieldineas of a collective
conference ; but at Norwich he believed they had sur-
mounted that difficulty by cutting their conference
into five sections. There were many objections he also
hat to the particular objects of the Synod.
Mr. It. ELIOT seconded Mr. Andrew:, proposition,
he thought much in the construction and organiestion
of the Synod is exceedingly foully. He thought too
much clerical influence is imported into it, and that
while laymen are called upon to express their opinions,
vent 011 TO had been taken that they should not express
them too freely. But he hoped that if laymen
atteed this Synod, they will retain that illikelloo to
which they are entitled—(appl ruse).
Mr. G. E. ELIOT said both the collective and elective
syetems were very fully disecieed at the late Confer-
erne, and it was deeided the elective system should be
tried. He thought the resolution rather out of p'ale,
cousideritig the rccout end open discussion on the
matter.
Mr. ANDREWS would be very sorry to see the Synod
suocessful on such a principle as the present one.
Mr. G. ELIOT said there were SUMO things left un-
decided, among others the representation of minorities.
Mr. R. if. ELIOT: It was, and how was it disposed
of? It was referred to a committee, who decided by
a snaj city of ten to one ti at the votes should be
, cumut.tive, is order to obtain the representation of
minorities, when the Bishop welly struck his pen
I through it.
Dr. DWI agreed with Mr. G. Eliot, that it hardly
became them at this tie-agog to pret .st against the
way in which the Synod is to be constitute I, therefore,
as an amendment, be moved the previous question.
Mr. G. ELI.T seconded.
Mr. ROBERTSON spoke in favour of the original
resolution. The Bishop was extremely anxious that the
laity should express their opinions, and he was quite
sure that his lordship would not be at all annoyed at
Ilia course proposed. Mr. Ityle's tract had tally con-
winced him.
The CH/41MAX thought it was not the time to express
their opinion. The Bishop could not hue done more
than he had by calling together such a large body of
Churchmen to his Conference. It we. then fully die-
cussed and decided that &Synod should be held instead
of a Conference, and they were called upon to carry
out the experiment for three years. If it failed, then
the representatives would do their best to altar the
constitution.
Oa • division five appeared for the amendment—Mr.
G. Eliot, Dr. Lush, Mr. Crialtmey, Mr. Norman, and
Mr. Page.
The remaining seven ware for the resolution of Mr.
Andrews, which was therefore culled, ani after a vote
of thanks to the Chairman, the meeting row.

I). ADDISON.-
After reading the resolution of the Conference, the
CHLILMAN said that although by the desire of the
Bishop, be, as clergyman of the potash, took the char.
the meeting must not suppose that the clergy wish to
bring any influence to bear on the laymen in making
their choice, for they wished them to be entirely free
and uninfluenced. The clergy would have their own
representatives at the Synod. He took It for granted
that the gentlemen the meeting would elect would be
' persons having the confidence of the pariah ; the setual
work they would have In band would be a very short
work indeed, and he believed it would not occupy them
more than an hour or an hoar and half, because it
would be only to attend when Vie rural dean, the Ref.
Talbot Baker, suumonel them to some place in Wey-
mouth, and elect six persons who might or might not
be of their number, to meet afterwards at Salisbury.
But he wanted to make use of those who would be
elected to-night—to one them not as official consultors,
but to call them frequently into counsel with the clergy,
for any adrift that may be needed. They had already
the churchwardens as official advisers, and the two
gentlemen elected they would take, if he might no say,
as moral advirers, and would place great reliance on
any advice they 'night give, whether it were palatable
or not, because those who gave it were the pariah repre-
sentatives, and thus he wanted them to be useful for '
more than the nonce. Ile rather supposed there might
he more than six lay rapresentatives to go to Salisbury,
because be understood there were to be six for every
fuur clergymen, and as the clergymen here would have
aix representativer, he presumed that more than six
laymen would be sent. Again he did not suppose the
synod would b- always held at Salisbury ; be understood
the Bishop to speak of holding it sometimes at Dor-
: cheater and sometimes at Sherborne, and probably that
. .

would be done.
Capt. BLAIR asked if it would not Ile better that the
two representatives should confine themselves to work
in their own pariah, and not meddle with the affairs of
the whole diocese lie also asked whether pew-renters
alone had the right to vote, or men of the parish
The CHAIRMAN said the Act of Parliament under
which his church was built admitted of all pew-renters
voting la churchwardens, whether they are parish men
or not. Ho forwarded • letter on this point to the
Bishop, who replied "By all means let the pus-renters
vote; interpret everything in the most liberal manner."
Copt. LIMNS asked if the Synochmen would be able
to interfere, it they saw any ritualistin practices, for
instance
The Citunicsic replied "No • they would have no
legislative power, nor would they deal with doctrinal
points."
Capt. Lnineft asked what was the object of the
Synod?
The CHAIRMAN said to get rid of a tremendous *oat
of machinery, in clerks, and 'secretaries, km. He
instaneed the arrangement for collections for the volun-
tary societies.
Captain LOKINS said he had always stated that if
these societies would trust to the clergymen of the
Churoh of England to preach sermons and have collec-
tions for them, their agents would not have to go
about like itinerant beggars. He remembered when a
deputation used ts come to their parish, preacli • ser-
mon in one church in the morning, afterwards you
might go to another church and hear exactly the same
sermon, texts and all--(leagliter). And so that man
would go through different towns.
Captain BLAIR said they knew there were many
divisions and schisms in the Church, and asked how the
Synod would get on with them?
The CHAIRMAN thought that at first many would
refuse to have anything to do with the Synod, and he
did not believe they would start into full blown opera-
tion all at once.
Contain BLAIR said they ought to know what power
the Synod had to accept or reject.
Mr. Osman supposed the Bishop could answer for
all the strictly diocesan societies.
The CHAIRMAN said his lordship referred for
to the ,:burst Missionary Society, and the Society for
the Propagation of the Gospel, which often clash ; and
he would have • missionary Sunday set apart for col-
lections for the Missionary Societies.
It was mentioned that this was done in some large
towne, where there MILS • collection at every church
and chapel throughout the place, for one object on that
Sunday, and, as Mr. Cotterell remarked, you could not
go away to another place of worship to avoid • collec-
tion.
The CHAIRMAN continued that the Bishop would wish
to take the proceeds of collections at churches on such
• Sunday to divide them between the two societies.
Captain BLAIR asked if it would not be better for
each parish to confine itself to Be own particular
duty?
The CHAIRMAN said then they would remain as at
present. Being asked what influence the Synod tumid
hive over the fends, he said that in time it might have
power tc collect funds and to make grants.
Another enquiry was were those pensions who had
come here for a few months and taken pews, to hays
the same power of voting as those who took pews
annually.
The Rev. V. F. RANNOMI said it was merely an
amount of tbe pew system that in their church con-
gregation there should be many that only took pews
for • few months; but be supposed that while they did
take pew., they would be entitled to vote at any
meetings that might then be going on.
Mr. GROvls WU not at all sanguine that the synod
would do mash good the first or second year, but he
thought the Bishop was justified in making the attempt,
and they ought to support him. He moved that
Captain Blair be elected one of the representative,—
(hear.)
The CHAIRMAN said be had felt the need of surds •
synod for the church. The Wealeyans have their
Conference, the Presbyterians their General Assembly,
and the Congregationaliats their meetings where they
ean discus matters of importance to their body. The
church had indeed Convocation, but that represents the
elergy,and it countenanoes the unfortunate idea that the
clergy are the church. When • young man takes holy
orders it is said "Lie has gone into the church ;" but
why not every one of the meeting in the church.
baptised into it, and renewing their connection with it
aft,rwards ? As to this synod, there must be beginnings
of everything ; hut he believed the members would
warm to their work, and then with a number of men
who have the welfare of the church at heart, he believed
the work wail shape itself to their bead'. At the COM:
toren°. at Salisbury there was • little opposition, but
of the right sort, because it showed • good spirit--
(hoer.)
Mr. corrangu, seconded Mr. Groves's proposition.
Captain BLAIR declined, bemuse he had no spatial
acquaintance with the subjects which the synod would
discuss.
Mr. GROvES proposed Mr. Efolland—(applatise.)
Mr. HOLLAND was willing to do anything he could
for the church, but he would recommended that they
should select a person resident in the pariah.
Mr. GIBBS knowing Mr. Holland as a great supporter
of the church and wheels had mush pleasure in second.
lag Mr. Groves's proposition, and it was curled
unanimously.
Mr. TUCKS& proposed Mr, Holden, but that gentle.
man declined. and
Captain BLata proposed Ife, Tucker,
Mr. THIBILNON seconded.
Carried unanimously.
This concluded the business, and the Rev. V. F.
RINBOME returned thanks to the laity for attending the
meeting in such numbers. All thought there might be
a better arrangement as far as the representatives from
the diocese ; but whatever objections there wore, let
the aynedsmen urge them at Salisbury.
The Rev. CHAIRMAN lead he was especially anxious
that the representatives should not be noninees of the
clergy. He believed the laity were fairly represented
by the gentlemenithey had chosen. The meeting then
closed.
