BURGLARY AT THE JUErTION MITE!.

„rispi”
Cooper. were brought before the Mayor (Mr. E. Burnett).
the Ex-Mayor (Mr. G. J. (;. Oregon ), and Mr. It. Davis.
at the Town Hall, on Tuesday afternoon, char.ed with
haying committed a burglary at the Junction ilotel. an
the previous no.rning.
Mr. M. e. Weston prosecuted, awl, in opening the cue.
indicated the ..alient !vitas of the evidence. Of the two
bottles of whi -key stolen one was an onlinary three half-
pint bottle, the other a log-necked claret bottle,
bearing a white label, on which was written the word
" whiskey." When inquiries were made the prisoners
were found under the influence of Ii and in one of
Cooper's jack-boots was found a of coppers._ The
prisoners went into barracks at o'clock, undraised, and
re-dressed, Cooper putting on his jackboots, in one of
which was the bronze money; and thou boots were dirt,.
showing they had been worn.
Miss Amelia Rolls, barmaid at the Junction Hotel., said ,
on Sunday night she went to bed at 10.15, leaving Mrs.
Dunn up. At 7.15 next morning she found the bar
window open and one pane of glass smashed. There wee
• fastening to the window on the Inside; and the broken
pane was exactly under it, so that a pawn putting one of
Ms hands through could push hack the fastening and
then lift the sash. Tobacco done up in half-ounces and
shout quarter-ounces was kept in a drawer ; and bottles
of spirits on shelves, including two bottles of whiskey—
one a claret bottle and the other an ordinary bottle. The
coppers were kept in a dish in the same drawer u the
tobamo. There was between ss. and Os in coppers, and
about 25 packets of tobacco. On finding the bar had been
broken into she told Mrs. Dunn of it. Mrs. Dunn came
downstairs immediately, and they looked around the bar
together, on which they missed the two bottles containing
whiskey, all the coppers were taken from the till except
two penny's, and the whole of the tobacco except two
"screws, one of which was left in a drawer, and another
on the counter. There were marks of blood on the
counter—a small quantity smeared about They went
Into the smoking room, and found the window open facing
Mr. Lovell's In front of that window there were some
railings painted green; the sill of the window was stone
whitened. The police were then sent for.
Mrs Jane Dunn, landlady of the hotel, said on Sunday
evening she went to bed about quarter to eleven, after
having seen the house securely fastened. The window of
the smoking- room was closed—she could not say whether
or not it was fastened. The bar window was down, and
she fastened it hermit. There was no pane broken at
that tirne—one had a small crack at the corner of the
square. During the night she heard • noise as of some
one about the house; she thought it between two and
three, from hearing the mail train some little time after.
She opened her loom door quietly—there were several
people sleeping in the house—and kept it open some time;
but hearing nothing further she cloud it again. Next
morning, when informed what had occurred by Miss Rolls
she went down stairs. Going into the bar she found the
place in a disordered state—cupboards and drawers all
on the counter was a small packet of tobacco, and
there were also marks of blood and droppings from a
candle, none of which were upon it the night before. On
Sunday night she cloud the drawer where the tobacco
and coppers were kept before going to bed, leaving in it
fie. or to, worth of coppers—rather more than lees and a
number of packets of tobacco. ln the morning the
drawer was open. She could not say what was gone
MIAs Rolls told her; that was more in her departs-tent
She directed that Superintendent Coward should be sent
for.

Supt. Coward said that on Monday morning at eight
o'clock he went to the Junction Hotel, and found the
window of the smoking room facing the South Walk
open, and the wire blind taken down and placed in the
shnibbery outside within the green railings. On the
plinth below the window there were two persons'
footprints. The chalk on the window sill was partially
rubbed off. Inside there were pieces of burnt paper and
spots of candle grease. The bar window WKS broken just
under the fastening, and there were pieces of glass on the
counter inside. On the counter witre smears of blood, and
one spot in the cupboard underneath the tilL Miss Rolls
told him what had been lost, and about 11 o'clock be went
to the barracks and informed the Sergeant-Major. About
an hour and-a-half later he was sent for, and saw the
prisoner Cooper in the cell, Farrant also being brought
&amts. Ho charged them both with breaking into the
Junction Hotel and stealing two bottles of whiskey, ionic
tobacco, and copper money. Cooper in reply said "That's
all right" Farrant made no answer. Ile examined their
hands, and found Farrant had a piece knocked off one of
his fingers—it was ozzing at that time. From the
Sergeant-Major ho receive is. Hid. in coppers, and &small
portion of tlird's-eye tobacco. He noupared It with the
packets left in ogn.l thoy wore of the row..
aeSCTIpIIOII. The prisoners were afterwards brought to
the station.
Serireant-blajor William Sheppanl- of the Royal Horse
Artillery, said in consequence of information from Stmt.
Cowart, on Monday, he made inquiries at the barracks,
and between II and 12 o'clock he put driver Cooper under
arrest for being drunk in barracks. Afterward ha
examined Cooper's kit, and found is. 10b1. in his jack-
boot under the bed. They were wrapped up in a coloured
handkerchief. The beets were dirty. A soldier was not
allowed to wear those hoots at any other time than when
on n iiiii nted duty; if he was wearing them otherwise he
would he stopped at the gate. Cooper had not been on
mountedduty (rot!! Sunday night to. tiffd-

day on Monday. Ile also examined Driver Farrant's kit,
which was all right Amnagat it was a small quantity of
Birds-eye toIVICCU -about a ',lrmo," but unscrewed. He
handed the money and tobacco to Supt. CowanL Both
prisoners had passes on Sunday night to 12 o'clock.
Gunner George King said he was on sentry on the wing
of the barracks nearest the canteen between two and four
am. on Honda). Whilst there he saw two tuen croon the
green from the direction of the hospital to the other wing.
which Cooper and Arrant lodged, though in different
. . .

rooms. He was off sentry at four, and off duty at six
o'clock. Witness slept in the same room as Cooper, and
after going oil duty went there. He found Cooper in bed
and :aleap. Ten minutes later Farrant came in, and
woke Cooper up. Farrant had a IsAtle with him—rather
long in the neck, and having upon it a small white label.
Cooper drank out of the bottle. He saked Cooper what
bed got, and he said some whiskey. Nobody elm thank
out of the bottle. Directly after Farrant left taking the
bottle with him. Farrant had no business in that room at
that time. This was a little after six a.m. After break.
fast he saw Cooper again with a bottle, like the one
Farrant had. He drank from it, and then smashed it in
the wood-and-coal box. It was empty.
Cooper said he could contradict the witness in two or
thbigs he had said, but he didn't care to take the trouble.
Corporal Alder said he searched Cooper's kit with the
Sergeant-Major, and found his jack-boots dirty. At six
o'clock on Sunday evening they were clean.—ln the
'liable' behind every horse was placed two heel pegs—
(thick
hickrticka about llft. long.) One was missed from
Cooper's stable, and he funnel it in his room. He had no
"Milt to take it (ruin the stable without special authority.
Farrant said it was frequently done for them to be
cleaned..
Witness added that Cooper was a "spare" man, and
baring no horse to clean he had no business to remove the

" Holloo, old chum, you're into it again." He replied "I
don't care." While there, Cooper told him he had broken
Into the Junction hotel, got two bottles of whiskey and
some coppers. They broke a window in front of the bar,
after which they lay quiet for about 20 minutes. After
that as they could not hear anybody they went groping
about, but could not find any eatables except Lome baked
potatoes. He had • picket peg with hint, which he
carried in his belt behind, showing witness how he had It.
and said that If any one had interrupted them while they
had been doing the job he should have knocked down the
first that came nigh them. Cooper told hint that he CAM*

close by the infirmary, and that he came back the earn.
way. Afterwards the Sergeant-Major altered him to take
Cooper to the guard rouni. Witness was at the Pluvial.'
between eight and nine on Sunday evening. Cooper
and Farrant were there together.
By the Town Clerk •. Cooper made the statement to
him of his own free will.
Gunner King was re-called, and stated that after break-
fast Farrant called Cooper_out of the room, and he was
away about five minutes. V.%en he nrturned Cooper had
• red handkerchief which he held up to witness, and he
inked him what be had there. Cooper replied money.
Asked him how much he had, and he said about 15s. in
silver and coppers. Witness went away for • little time,
and on returning saw him sitting on his cot with the
money exposed in the handkerchief-it was coppers: Did
net 800 anlntilkvi.or. At that time Cooper was intoxica-
ted." "if
o"rinveotr George Dinan was prese t before Cooper's kit
eras searched. Askedabout the conpperis he denied having
any. He afterwards admitted the jack-boots were his.
Witnese corroborated the confession of Cooper to Dobson.
Bombadier James Harris said on Sunday night he was
the nom con, in charge of the yard. Prisoners had leave
tall twelve, and he saw them return together. They were
properly dressed-neither had jack-boots.
Corporsl William Gouldstone, finding on Monday that
Farrant was put under arrest, hail to collect all his things
and take them to store. Went to the stable, and missed a
beetling fron the stall seat to larrant's. In the arm rack
next to Farrant's bed he found a heel peg. A second peg
was Iniell121: from the same stable. The heel peg he found
au the arm rack he gave to the sergeant of police. On
the top of the heel peg the sergeant showed him • bit of
glees.
P.S. Mitchell said that on Monday morning he went to
the Junction Hotel with Supt. Coward and examined the
premises. Ile corroborated the Superintendent's evidence.
Du the table in the !smoking room were white finer
marks as if tint placed on the whitened sill outside.
When charged ( o.lier said "That's ill right enough."
Farrant made no answer. He heard what Cooper said.
One of the heel pegs he 'received from Alder and the
other from Gouldstone. On the latter there was blood in
two ORM' and at the end two bits of glass. He examieed
Vagrant's hands and on the forefinger of the right found
a piece of skin off, which appeared to have been just

A lecture was given in the Town Hall, Dorchester.' last
Friday evening, by the Rev. T. Neave, Congregational
Minister, on "Sacerdotelien in the Church of England:
the great crisis, and the cure," in answer to the Church
Association meeting of the preceding week, when Mr.
NCAVO was refused a hearing. There was • fair attend'
sure.
The Rev. T. Niarg mentioned that Mr. Devenith had
Intended to preside at the meeting, but was prevented by
Indisposition. He then proceeded
The cuvunutancee in which my lecture has originated
are easily told. Being refused a privilege, to which any
one was entitled, at the meeting held last Thursday even-
ing in this hall, in connection with the Church Association,
to move an amendment to the motion that was submitted
to the meeting, I have no other alternative left me than
to put that amendment before the meeting to-night in the
shape of a lecture. I will not waste any time in pointing
out to this meeting the folly and discourtesy of the chair.
nl3ll of the Church Association meeting and the clerical
gentlemen who agreed in his procedure, and indeed recom-
mended it to him, in denying to nie my right of public ,
speech- a right which the lecturer himself acknowledged,
but which he did nothing to facilitate, when it was
requested.• The public will judge for themselves
whether the cause which refused open discussion
and light, is one which is likely to be worthy
of their confidence. So far as the chairman is con-
cerned, it is well-known, and lam happy to acknowledge
that he is • courteous Christian gentleman, but on this
occasion he certainly acted unworthy of his position as
chairman of a public meeting. And to say that I was
entitled to speak simply on the ground of personal
membership was virtually to say that the meeting was •
closed one, in which case I ought net to have been
admitted, and that no motion could have been carried.
Inasmuch as probably not half-a-down present were
members. I will only further say that the charge which
was virtually brought against me, of interfering in • meet-
ing which did not concern me as a Nonconformist, is
ridiculous, Not only was I as well as others invited, but
as a eitiaen I have as much right to interest myself in
questions which affect the state of the Church of the
Nation as any Churchman can have. If the Church of
England were a wet, self-supported, of course it would
have been discourteous on my part, as not belonging to it,
to interfere in the deliberations of Its adherents. The
two eases are not parallel. If I do not belong to the
Church, the Church belongs to me, and therefore I am
clearly entitled to interest myself in its affairs. No one
with • particle of sense would contest this obvious peal.
lion. But to put the question beyond all dispute, let ma
remind the gentlemen who got up the meeting, and who
moved the presentation of the memorial, that whatever
Is done in the matter by Convocation must ultimately be
decided in the Houle of Commomi, Convecation being
neither legislative nor independent, but, at the best, con-
sultative ; whose decisions may count for nothing in the
House of Commons. The Member for Dorchester, there-
fore, will have to vote on the question which was sub-
mitted to the meeting, and he will vote for me as one of
this constituency, and not for Kr. Eliot or Mr. Bingham,
or Mr. Smith: and therefore I was more entitled to he
beard than either of them: and I venture to say that if I
write to the member for Dorchester, when the question
comes before the House of Commons, I shall get a more
courteous and respectable hearing than 1 received
from the banker of Weymouth, and the dery
of the neighbourhood of Dorchester. But the simple
truth is, these men had no confidence in theircause. They
felt, as I will endeavour to prove to-night, that the/ had
really no case at all-that the question has been taken out
of their hands--and that it is hopelessly lost sof& aa they
are concerned. And if anything were needed to confirm
me In this opinion, it was the entire aspect of
re
o( the
meeting. Many members of the Church d were
conspicuous by their absence. Where was e newly-
elected Mayor, whose presence in the chair (if any thing
were needed to be done in the town by way of expressing
the sentiments of the Church people), would have been a
seemly thing? Was it that the Mayor had too much sense
to unite himself with an Association which fails to under-
Wend that the Church oi England is not for the Evangeli-
cal party alone, but for all parties, and that to mime a
storm of persecution against the one, would be an act of
intolerable injustice and of suicidal policy. Where was the
Rector of St Peter's, whose interest in the Protestantism
of the Church of England is surely pretty well known in Dor-
chester, and for which be has written, spoken, lectured,
and I will add, suffered--as much as any man in
the church. Where was the able and popular clergyman
of Trinity Church, whose position in this town would have
given weight to the deliberation and resolutions of the
meeting? How menthe absence if these gentlemen and the
lowling laymen of the town be accounted for, unless on the
supposition that the Church Association, in the most
critical of all her suits, and upon which the whole
question of sacerdotaliem binge., and by which the
entire structure stands or falls, has fought and lost ,• and
irony pointed the moral when the Vicar of Wed
Fonlington read the memorial, who told us in
his oracular way that he believed that to stand before the
altar was to go to the other side (which means to go
behind it) and stand with his back to the wall, and that
he could take the table out into the church as if he meant
to dine with the communicanta. That gentleman
now occupies the pulpit which his predecessor felt
compelled to relinquish because of the un-Protestant
character of the church, at whose altar he had faithfully
ministered, but at which he could no longer minister with
a pure aoiacience after the decision of the Privy Council
in the Bennett case. And the whole proceedings of the
meeting indicated that the men who took the most active
part in it were conscious of the poverty of their caws.
Worse, less enthusiastic, speaking on a mat and
urgent question, I confess I never heard The Chairman,
who is usually fluentand to whom I have often listened with
real pleasure,) when his theme has been the Bible Society,
WA on this occasion hesitating, incoherent, and weak in
the extreme. Any one hearing him for the first time,
would have concluded that he had an impatient in his
speech, and that nature, neither by intelligence nor
utterance intended him for public speaking. Mr. Bingham
could only tell us that he had been for many years
secretary, but for the most part a sleeping partner in the
concern, nor did he tell us how he came to relinquish
the otlice, leaving us to infer that possibly
he thought that Mr. Helixes. our highly esteemed
chaplain, might discover a talent fur winning over
Ritualistic culprits as successfully as be wins over the
culprits of the County Jail. He forgot that in the one
case he has recourse to love, in the other to law, which
make, all the difference, and suggests whether our
friend Mr. Raikes, has not made a mistake in this
instance. The rural dean of Stafford had the mewing
discovery for u.s, that the Ritualists have souls, which we
must think of and care for. This was the special legacy
he bequeathed to the meeting. Mr. Evans, one of the few
Dorchester clergymen who was present (Mr. Monte had
retired at an early stage of the proceedings) did not
express his sentiments to the meetng, so that we are in
the dark as to what our neighbour's opinions are. The
new secretary, with whom we grieve to be in conflict,
whew work in Dorchester has commanded our sincere
esteem, as we believe it has the esteem of the entire
people, was clearly out of hie element With regard to
, the Lecturer, we have only to exprese our utter astonish-
ment that the rev, gentleman should have come all the
way to Dorchester, to prove to his audience what they
may be supposed to knew_ pretty well by this time-that
the Bible is a Protestant Book, and that it furnishes no
ground for a sacrificial priesthood. I listened with
attention to the lecture, and I am bound to say that that
was the sum and substance of it-that the Bible did not
teach sacerdotalism, and therefore that the Ritualists
had no ground to stand upon. He did repeat
the old 'taws, which we have heard ad naiswein,
that Priest in the Prayer Book is a contraction for
Presbyter, which may suit the Protestant party. It
does not, however, prove equally satisfactory to the
oweerdotalists, who prefer not toview it as a contraction,
(which is rather an unsatisfactory matter to any body-
contractions on a question so all important as priesthood or
no priesthood, sound ominous, and indicate some hidden
ruTee' which however, is not far to seek) but to take it
iltcssimple literal meaning. But we ask as we pass,
why was the contraction accepted in preference to the
word Presbyter? Surely it is not that the one is so much
shorter than the other? and the questien is all the more
important, as the compilers of the Prayer Book knew the
danger of the question, and had even then to encounter
it in their opposition with the Puritans, who insisted that
the worienestahould be eliminated and Presbyter inserted,
which emendation was rejected as well as all the others,
and therefore Priest was retained with all its sacerdotal
meaning. Now nothing was said touching the rest of the
Prayer Rook, with the exception of the Articles The
lecturer appealed to the articles of religion as if they were
the only matters in the Book of Common Prayer by which
its clergy were bound. What about the offices of the
church? Have not all its clergy bound themselves be • I
solemn oath, the lecturer among the rest, to observe
the whole of them? And are not the articles the
least recognised, and felt to be the least important? And
ought not the whole of the offices of the Prayer Book to
be regarded as more certainly determining the action of
the church, and its real belief, than the articles them-
selves It would be as legitimate therefore for the
Sisowdotal party to turn round on Mr. Concannon
and charge him with dishonesty in accepting the offices of
the church, while he did not believe in them, as it would
be for him to charge the Ritualists with dishonesty in
signing the articles, and then repudiating them. The evil
and the immorality is as great in the one case
as in the other, and it is absurd for one party to
challenge the honesty and fidelity of the other, when
both are equally in the WOOL equally implicated in dis-
honesty and immoral subscription, But I have a yet
more Parlous charge to bring against the lecturer. He
knows, for his society has published the fact far and near,
I that the whole question of the Sacerdotal character of the
Church of England was to be tried and tested in the
Bennett Judgment. That judgment was given two years
ago, with all its untold issues to the Proteetantism of the
%lurch of England and of the country. Whet had the
lecturer to say about that judgment? Nothing. Literally
nothing. What the whole question upon which the Ref or.
mato') turned, and upon which the Protestant church
of England resist settlah and yet that a lecturer from the
Church Association, who held this to be the ono I ocs-
tun for which its efforts were most earnestly reqUired,
should say not a word about it? How marvellous. Did the
lecturer take it for mated that the people in Dorchester
knew all about it Surely this cannot be, or else it would
be difficult to understand how he should have felt it
necessary to lecture for nearly an hour,in demonstrating
the truism that the Bible is Protestant in its teaching.
There is only one explanation. That gentleman knew
that the Bennett jungment had settled him and his
society too, and therefore he deemed it prudent to say
nothing about it The Protestant character of the church
went with the Bennett judgment; when it was conceded
by the judges in Privy Councll that Mr. Bennetea teach-
ing was not excluded by the Prayer Book id it was not
included, the church could no longer claim to be
Protestant: no more than the church can claim to be
orthodox in the faith, when it was decided in the judg-
ment of the " Essays and Reviews," that the whole Bible
was not the Word of God, but that it contained the Word
of God, and when it held that everlasting ptuiiiihtewit
was not an article necessary to be believed for salvation.
How then I ask can • cause which is sustained by dis-
honesty or downright craw ignorance, be otherwise than
• bad one; and how can it expect to enlist the sympathies
of intelligent people! I only hope that in Dorchester no
countenance will be given to such • cause, and that our
worthy chaplain, Mr. 'tease, may find occupation inure
orthy of hie genuine English good-heartedness. But
the question which now meet us, is this-is there
Sacerdotalism in the Church of England, and is that
Sacerilotalesin based on the teaching of the Book of
Canonical Prayer Now it is necessary here to make
a distinction. Sacenlotalian and Ritualism are not
necessarily cue and the same thing, although they were
treated as *nth by the lecturer and various weakers at
the meeting reform' to. But as Mr. tOoletone
has shown in his Eery in Ritualism, the two
things are not necessarily connected.? Men way be
tisicerdotalista without Whig Ritualiets, as Dr. Pussy says
he is, and men may be Ritualists without being
Samdotallate. Let US hear what Dr.
In writing to the Time on the Church Pubtommice=

BA he said, "Perhaps then you will allow me,
who am no Ritualist, although bound to man
Ritualists by effection, and their labour for souls,'
This was • letter dated March 19, 11371. Here then
Dr. Pulley disclaims Ritualism although be is • Sacerdo-
talist, and has done more then any other man, as the Times
reniarked in noticing his letter, to give birth to Ritualism.
Still it is sufficient for my purpose to show you that •
Ritualist and Sicerdotidist may not necessarily be con-
joined, and that although you get rid of Ritualism, you
do not therefore vet rid of Ssecrdotalisin. The distinction
was lost sight of by all the speakers, and yet it is most
Important to be remembered, because even if they get all
they desire in their memorial, (which it is quite certaiu
they won't get), yet, even then, they would not get rid of
Sacerdotalism. Ritualism is one thing, Sacerdotalism is
another; and while Ritualists can dispense with their
Ritualism and yet hold their Sacerdotalisrn, it is perfectly
clear that • victory over Ritualbun would be very little,
while Sacerdotaliam remains. 1.-As to the Sacerdotaliam
and Ritualism in the Church of England, opinions vary as
to the extent and influence of it. But one thing is very
certain, that whatever may be the proclivities of the
clergy, however much they may he tainted with the deadly
maLmia,-and that they are tainted to a fearful extent is
I think unquestionable-the people of England are at least
tolerably free from it. Besides, we have learned, on the
authority of an ex-Prime Minister, that MI dreams of
of Romauising England are visionary. "At no time sines
the bloody reign of Wary has such • scheme been possible.
But if it had been possible in the seventeenth or
eighteenth centuries, it would still have I so, one impossible
in the nineteenth; when Wenn had substituted for the
proud boast of orieper cadres, a policy of violence and
change of faith; when she has refurbished and paraded
anew every rusty tool she was fondly thought to have
disused • when no one can become her convert without
renouncing his moral and mental freedom and placing his
civil loyalty and duty at the mercy of another; and when
she has equally repudiate* modern thought and ancient
history." (Contemporary Review, page 674). A pamagewhich
you know has been furiously assailed by the l'apel press
of Ireland, and which has been succeeded by another
wimphlet which in its trenchant power has given the
Papacy in this country the heaviest blow of the century,
and has done more to crush it than all the Public Worship
Regulation Bills that Parliament may pass. It has also
shown cnnclesively how ill grounded were the accusations
brought against Mr. Gladstone as to his being the friend
of the Church of Rome, "a Jesuit in disguise," which
only too many Englishmen, without any shadow of
woof, (unless it were his sterling honesty to do right by a ,
Catholic as by • Protestant, and to deal out evenhandel
justice to all alike), entertained and ameiduously circulated,
and which went very far to turn the constituencies
against Mr. Gladstone and the Liberal party at the last
election, but which will prove equally potent another day 1
In restoring him to his poet as the Prime Minister of
England, Well, it is something to know, that England
does not nemu to be Romanised, and many of us had
such an opinion long before Mx. Gladstone gave expression
to it; but we are none the less glad to have his great
authority In stating it. Another proof of the fact, if
further proof were needed, Is found in the determined
opposition commenced in the last session of Parliament
to the Ritualists, if not to the Sacerdotalista, about which
I shall have something to say by and bye: but it is
enough meantime to show that the country, through its
representatives in Parliament, means to have no Ritualism 1
In the Church of England; whether they mean to have
Pacenlotalism is another question, which is not likely to
receive so easy or satisfactory an answer. That the
Ritualists have done, and are doing and are likely to do
much harm is only too certain ; • harm sufficiently great
to lead the people of this country to take active steps to
put it down' but whether it will be put down is more than
doubtful, and it is more than likely, that while the Prime
Minister proposed to put down Ritualism lam session, the
"Saviour of Proteetentiem " may turn out to be a very
feeble reed indeed on which to lean, and pierce the hands
of those who rest upon it, and may simply show
that they have gone down to Egypt for help. There
are facts which seem to shadow forth some such
Intention, not only on the part of the Government,
but by the Archbishop himself, as may be fathered
from the queries which he has issued to his clergy
to be answered by them in view of the wscusision
of the Rubrics in Convocation ; so that it is quite certain,
that if the Evangelicals are to be allowed to perform the
Communion office in plain garments, they must concede
for this privilege, liberty to the Ritualist." to dispense it in
their sacrifimial robe ; and, if both are to get this liberty,
they must give to their Broad Ohurch ne4hbours the
privilege of omitting the Athanaaion need ; and the
option of reading its dammitery clauses; in that
compromise still is the order of the day, and anything like
an expurgation of the liomish tendencies of the church
Is utterly and absolutely hopeless. No one who read the
discussionon the Public Worship Bill, the amendmentg
proposed and then withdrawn by Bishop Magee. home*
legated by the Lord Chancellor, who regarded any
contest about the position of the celebrant at the
altar as • trifle even although it involved the doctrine
of the "Mass in masquerade." None could have
read these discussions without coming to the con.
elusion that no legislation can be radical, and without
being radical it will be inefficacious and worse than
tusks. Time will thew whether we are right or not.
It will be not be necessary for me at this stage to say that
I am no Ritualist. lames likely to be a member of that
fraternity as of the Church Association. I regard their
whole procedure as essentially hurtful to the religious life
of the nation, and therefore feel stone with the Protestant
party of the church in seeking to correct their injurious
Influence. But I am sure legislation will not do it. I
agree with Mr. Gladstone when he says-" I have but
little faith in coercion applied to matters of opinion and
feeling, let its titles be ever so clear."-(Contemporery
Review, p. 641). But this sentiment ought to lead Mr.
Gladstone to be what lam, • Nonconformist.: A State
church does absolutely and necessarily imply coercion as
much as an army implies army regulations which each
officer is bound to bow to, and not to disobey at his
pleasure and will. And, therefore, if these Ritualism
and Sacerdetalists have broken the law, and their
agreement and bargain with the state as officers of the
church, by all means let them be subject to the penalties
which overtake all lawbreaker., and let laws be fnuned
which can be readily and inexpensively applied. Against
state interference, it is absurd for the state clergy to cry
out They are state officials, and therefore they are bound
by state law ; and if they don't like it, let them leave
It- let them quit the service, by selling nit their com-
mission. It was legitimate enough, therefore, for the
church association to seek to try whether the sacerdetalista
have a place in the church, although it did not say much
for their intelligence that they could ever have doubted it
with the book of Common Prayer in their hands, unless it
were on the ground that their own conscience by • constant
effort to rid themseivss (else poution, Les at lam
been lost to all sense of what is right and wrong, true and
false, in the teaching of their own formularies and docu-
ments. But whether right or wrong, to prosecute-and I
hold it was right-yet, when the questiou is settled, the
right ceases to be any longer right, and becomes altogether
wrong. Sacerdotalmin, if not Ititualisin, has now by law,
as I shall chew you, a place in the church, and no I, lierch
Association in the world is ever likely to dislodge it, and
nothing will but the one remedy which I shall presently
propose to this meeting. The question that still meets us
. - -is there or is there not Sacerdotelistu in the Book of
Common Prayer t Now I could present you, if it were
necessary, tvith a list of authorities which you would all
feel to be weightv indeed, and against whose judgment
there would he no appeal ; but, why should I do sot Is
there any man hi 'his senses who really knows the book of
Coe 1111 l Prayer who doubts it? My best answer to this
fact is found in the statement of Mr. Osborn when he
told the meeting that the question of "Revision of the
Prayer Book" was not before the meeting; but the very
fact that a society, columned of course, solely of Church-
men, who are also most likely to be members of the
Church Association-they both seek the same object, the
expurgation of Sacerdotalisni from the church-exists for
the Itevision of the Prayer Book implies the existence of
Sacerdotalism in that book; and that was the question
before the meeting-the great crisis, Sacerilotalism, and
therefore I was perfectly in accord with that purpose
when I Nuked whether Sacerdotalism is in the Book of
Common Prayer, and if so, upon what grounds are the
men who teach it to be persecuted or prosecuted by •
body of their,co-religionists t The thing is not only an infatu-
ation, it is • gross immorality. Now without entering
into any discussion on the offices of Baptism, or the
Visitation of the Sick, or the Communion Sonic', or the
Burial service, or the Ordination Service, which as surely
teach Sacramentaliem and Pacerdotalisin as that two and
two make four let us hear what onycetent authorities say.
The Bishop of Peterborough said, in the Boum of Lords,
" What was the real root of the evil, which it was said this
legislation would not touch '1 he laws of the church were
f rained 204 eansago,and the word compromise was written all
over the pages of the Common Prayer book ; and Bishops
who sought to enforce the rubrics all round would be
simply mad- (Daily News, May 12,11371/1 The Earl of
Salisbury, in the same debate in the House of Lords on the
Public Worship Billsaid-"That there would be no more
fetid act than that which struck at that spirit of toleration
upon which it(the church) was founded and meted There
were three parties in the church, which might be described
as the sacramental. the emotional, and theilosiphicalauid
the great problem to be solved was how to reconcile their
views; and if they legislated without solving the probleru.
and tempered with the spirit of toleration upon which it
rested, they would produce a convulsion which would go
far to destroy the church itself ."-(Daily News, May 12,
11171). But I will proceed to give you an authority greater
than either, whom decision will be line/ The other day
when speaking at Exeter, Lord Coleridge is reported to
have said, and as it is the passage which 1 wished to
read at the meeting but was refused, I have all the greater
pleasure in reading it now, and hope it may be again.
This is what his I..orship said-" I say that ae a lawyer
and • man of reflection; I cannot forget that the Church of
England is • legal body; and that it is a legal institution ;
that it has • legal position, and that it Is in possession of
certain document' to which every one of Its members had
• right to appeal, and by which every one of its members
is bound. I cannot help feeling too, that no fair and
caddid mind can study the Prayer Book,as it has been my
misfortune, or rather perhaps the misfortune of others, to
study it for the Porrwas of lege' argument-that no one
can really study the Prayer book without admitting, if he
has a fair and candid mind, that in many important portions,
as for example, the ordination service, the visitation
of the sick, and the order for the administration of
the Holy Communion itself, there is to be found the
sacerdotal principle." Even Mr. Ryle admits in his papers on
Church Reform that " there are doubtless many words and
expressions in the Prayer Book which I shoubl like to see
&Imre& They Are liable, as they now stand, to be mile
construed, wrested, and misinterpreted, partly from
Inherent obscurity of meaning, and pertly from the
unfair handling of prejudiced, unlearned, or unstable men.
(Church Reform. Page 1.) Further, Lord Coleridge said,
"I am the more free to go on to say that I never can
consent to, and must always strongly protest against,
aspersing the motives or impugning in any degree the
good faith of men, who, although I do not agree with
them, have • perfect richt to stand upon the documents,
and maintain the °Pinions they do maintain, although I
do not happen to agree with them, with force and

me that the Sacerdotal party have after all not only some
foothold, but RO innch MI to leave very little indeed for
their neighbours, in the Book of Common Prayer, and it

Rome-the doctrine of the Had Presence. This is admitted
on all hands, and the man who would deny it would only
evinefehis ignorance and folly. Well, if the Church of
England. through her regularly constituted tribunals, has
made it as lawful for her clergy to teach the Real Prei.en
as to teach its opposite, what is the good of talking aba
denying the clergy the right of wearing the insignia
their priestly power? to permit the doctrine, and simply ,
refuse permission to wear the sacrificial garments, is
solemn trilling; and, the men who can do so, are either ,
lunatics or knave. I have to protest against the absolute '
'Bence by the lecturer and by all the speakers to this the
most important question for consideration, and I can only
account for it on the adage, "let sleeping dogs lie. The
denuding the Ritualists of their garments is not to end
ritualism; let the people of Dorchester clearly understand
this: and let them not blind themselves by tiny such
infatuation. Nothing will get rid of the difficulty but a
thorough Revision and Reforniation, which, in its present
position would shatter the church to fragment. tt hat
than is the remedy for the present distress t What is the
cure for the greet crisis of Sacerdotalism f To tell us that
the cure Is to strip the sacrificing priest of his sacrificial
robe is like offering a pill tor an earthquake. The
question is not one of garments. Dr. l'usey has told us
that the garments are not essential, and he counsel* his
Ritualistic friends not to push their wishes in this
respect on reluctant congregations, (a true Congregation-
alist is Dr. Pulley in this respect). And even the Ritualists
themselves have told us plainly that even if they are
denied the use of their garments the Catholic doctrine is
I still theirs, and they will make good use of their privilege
by blasting with the greater vele:menet: on the doctrine
, if the Ritual is denied to them. But the q umtion has yet

' The -question of the "Purchase decision" is to be re-
opened in the nee ly constituted ecclesiastical court, and
the Lord Chancellor has hinted that the decision Wll, bad
law, and the Ritualists are assured by the opinion of
counsel that the cause is theirs, and therefore it is ,just
possible that in this Public Worship Regulation Bin,

I will only suest to you the need of carefully guard-

imys Mr. Gladstone, " we have come to the day when the

Mr. Gladstone, we shall have occasion to solomerve that
ritual sloes not lwar an unvarying relation to doctrine.
The nuat notable pns,t of (Si. assertion is to be found in
the Lutheran C01111111111i"11. It is strongly, and, except
where opinion has deviated in the direction of rationalism,
uniformly Protestant lint in portions of the consider-
able area over which it stretches, for example, .n Denmark,
in Sweden and Norway, even on the inhoospitahle shores

are retained : the clergyman is called the priest, and the
Communion °dice ill termed the Mono. But there is DO
distinction of olowtrine whatever Iretwssm Swedish or
lianish and German Lutherans our, acconling to the
best authorities, has the chain oof Episcopal succowsion
been inaintainwl. Froun thew facts, as well as from the
growing ritual of the non- Episcopal rlorbotMns of this
country, we may perceive that in thu slashing manner in
which the argument has been olmwn f ritual to
doctrine in our discussions, there has been something of
that percepitancy to which, (nun the narrow and insular
character of his knowlalge, as well as from the vigour of
his will, the Englishman is particularly liable" Objec-
tion has rightly been taken to Mr. Gladstone in his esmy
in failing to deal with the relation of ritualisin to high
doctrine, which is avowed by the Ritualists themselves.
Still his distinction is important for my purpose.

Speaking of Archbishop Manning's definition of the
Church and State in their respective sphensi, he says :
• There are millions upon millions of the Protestanta of
this country who would agree with Archbishop Manning.
if he were simply telling us t4t Divine truth is not to be
sought from the hps of the SMe, nor to be sacrificed at
its counnand."—(The Vatican Decrees, page 55.)
;I Here is the passage from the Bishop's speech :
" What was the real seat of the evil which it WWI said this
legislation would not tooth? The laws of the Church
were passed YOU years ago, and the word 'compromise'
was written over the pages of the Anglican Prayer Book,
gad the fact wu that the Rubric which suited this people
immediately after the Reformation would not suit the
people ofp the
tune; and these obsolete Rubrics
had- ham e clergy, and from time to time three
obsolete übrim had been net aside with the consent of
the Bishops, who told tAeors to do riteA and seek a thing, but
not teU then of it." (The italics are ours, and the im-
morality implied is such as would lead any tradesman
who should practice it with his servant, to eacritice his
character for honesty and truth. A Bishop has special
liberty, I suppose, to sitfit-what can be the effect of such
teaching on the commercial morality of the country. If
Bishops thus wink at wrong, who is to avoid IL? I
protest that this State establishment is not only a glaring
wrong, but, by its compromises and the false subectiption
of its members, is sensibly affecting the high tone of the
nation's morality.

The Surveyor had been down here. had opened the
drains, and stated that they were acting most
isfiiciently. After that statement he preferred the
opinion of Sir John Goode to that of Col. Akers. As
to the Col.'s statement that ladies parsed him with
handkerchiefs to their noses, and this state of
things was not exceptional, the statement was mistaken
and incorrect: there was no smell from the mud banks or
the sewers; but the Goa t 'olupany were sending off a barge
of aminuniacal liquor which was !wing then pumped Into
the barge. That could not be dune without an ammo-

Mr. AVLS3111111( had heard that the stench was not
injurious to health.
The Mayon continued that there was no smell from the
sewage; but as to the anamoniacal liquor he had taken
the opinion of several melical Mee, and their Opinion was
that it was not injurious. The Mayer continued that as

Mr. Wean said that Mr John Coode found fault with

oft; therefore the Colonel stated what waa correct
. . . . .

—Mr. Minim said the Gas Directors were ready to
.do
anything to abate • nuisance, at any expense. The pipe
complained of by Sir John Goode was one which drained
some gardens and let the water into the ammoniacal liquor
so that it became much diluted; a pipe was put to carry
a the surface water, so that the directors thought there
could be no leakage of auirnoniacal liquor; but it was
found that some had piscolated into it One tank had
been completely sealed, the other puddled completely, and
everything was done to remove the possibility of any
leakage. There was not the slightest possibility of any
leakage, and be should like the rustier to be perfectly
investigated, he should like the Board's Officer of Health,
to report and that Mr. Walker should be on the com-
mittee. The Colonel alao said there were bad smells
during the summer at a certain place. True, there had
been, the surveyor searched into It, and found there 90
tons of putrid animal matter there which had been sent
from the alaughter-houaea. A man there said "The
stink is enough to kill the devil, master: can't you give
us something to drink!" But Col. Akers had great cause
of complaint, and he wished Cot Akers had addressed the
Board instead of writing his letter. The Colonel's complaint
was at the base of a triangle, of which one point was •
slaughter-house, and another wasanother slaughter•house.
In the neighbourhood was a colony of pigs.

Mr. Rome; continued that he heard Colonel A.kers's

nuisance to pass into oblivion.

Mr. Sooitd Uat Colonel Akers had addressed the

In the course of some conversation, it was stated that

complaints.
The Seavgvoa was called . in, and asked if he had
received orders to lower the pipe near the King's Arms I
The Surveyor stated that he had lowered the pipe, but
not carried it further out; he had no orders to do so.
Mr. Wean said that orders had been given to carry the
pipe under the south arch of the Bridge.
Mr. Anassutr said all orders out to be given in
