was on Saturday afternoon and evening the scene of dis-
graceful proosedingt in consisqueme ot the vicar of the
the Rev. J. Coley, refusing to bury a man named
parish,
Merrett, who has been dead eight days. Appli-
cation was made to Mr. Coley on Wednesday, and also on
Saturday, to allow the deceased to be buried in the parish
churchyard, but he refused the request. He alleged as a
raison that the deceased had led is notorious life. After
the childreu's service on Sunday afternoon the sons and
brother of Merrett went to the church to ask permission
of Mr. Coley to allow another clergyman to officiate, but
he refused to see them and locked tiliuself in the church for
about two hours, until a polionnan at rived. In the mean-
time a cniwd of several hundred persons assembled around
the church and hooted Mr. Coley, and when he left in
company of a pulicenian, a crowd followed him to his
house at Oxford about a mile distant, hobtang and yelling
all the way.

LORD lIARTINGTON AND THY LIBERAL PARTY.
Lord Hartington at Lewes reviewed the past, and, pay-
ing • just tribute to Mr. Gladstone, to a:premed his frank !
disagreement with Mr. Bright on the question of dls-
ustablishnient, advocated union In the party without
repressing personal differences of opinion. The old
Liberal principle of carrying reforms was by persuading
the people of their justice and truth, and not endeavour-
ing to force them upon an unwilling people. If they would
bear in mind that caution, he believed they might be as
free in Opposition as any niemder of the party could wish
that they should be, and at the same time they might be
for all useful purpows a united party —(cheers), Ile
believed that they were now probably for a considerable
period removed from office. He could uot say that he
regretted it, for he believed that a former generation
would have rejoiced to have seen the reforms which had been
already accomplished and magnificent results aschbved—
(cheers). He believed Ithat Liberal reforms ought to be
made by Liberal statesmen, and for that reason he
Implored members of the Liberal party not to lose their
confidence in Liberal principles, but to work and wait, if
necessary, in order to reorganise and reconstitute the great
Liberal party, to which they were so much attached—
