That Mr. Simpson boa light. on the communion-table
when they are not required for the purpose of giving
light. 2. That in the administration of the Holy Com-

Mr. Simpson mixes water with the wine. 3. That

close of the morning and evening service he omit, the
word "idl" in the 'marauding sentence. The defendent
does not intend to deny the allegations, but will rest hie
ease entirely upon the legality of the course he has
adopted in bin church. Dr. A. J. Stevens appears
for the complaining ohundisrarden (Mr. Flainank, the
promoter of iii. suit), and Dr. Deane Q. C. , for the
defendant, the Rev. T. B. Simpson. Counsel having
been beard on both sides, his lordship mid the ques-
tion was one of vast public importance, and he would
consider it. The real difficulty was the omission of the
date in the decree and whether it would govern MI the
R=dings. He would make one observation on the
h Discipline Act: it had been framed by one who
knew nothing of eedeelastimi law, and, his lordship
added, "the confusion by it knows no limit." Judg-
ment deferred.

SHOCKING DINCLORCILIS AT HALT/AL-A revelation
of fearful wretehedness and poverty has just been made
at High-road-well, about a mile from Halifax. It
appears that a woman named Mary Mitchell, about 70
year' of age, with her two daughters, Jane and Eliza,
respectively aged 39 and 38, have occupied a oottage in
the corner of a beck yard, and lived for years in a most
miserable and disgusting condition, and in entire seclu-
sion from their neighbours. A day or two ago, how-
ever, the old woman died, and Police-eonstable Green-
wood, who was passing through the village on Toes-
day morning, was requested by a neighbour to make some
inquiry. He did so, and learned from Elise t at she
had a sister poorly upstairs, but that be must not see
her. Divested with the stench of the bowie, he began
to be suzpicions that there must be something wrong.
He informed the woman that she had perhaps better
let him see her sister, and ascended the narrow
flight of stairs, but he was nearly driven back by the
smell. The spectacle was most disgusting and appalling.
Not an article of furniture was to be seen in the chamber,
except a dark screen before one window. The door was

with dirt as black as the chimney bole. Her hair was

reclining or huddled with her back against a
pillow. Tbe whole place she occupied behind the
screen was only aboat three or four feet by half a

blasphemed and wanted to know if the policeman

with vileness. Since the discovery her airier Eliza has

noise' had been beard in the chamber at times, and
mush quarrelling. Eliza states her sister to be suffering
from bodily debility, not insanity. She assigns as •
reason for ripening the attentions of the neighbours
that they scorned the family and taunted them, playing
jokes upon them. The neighbours, on the other hand,
say that gifts were always thrown back at them, and
