ARCHES COURT.—THIS DAY.
Cerise Ns J. Deane.
This Mr haring been called ea
DT. 13.910 rd. ler the Bohop , having detailed
age former proceediage, said the court would me that the
✓e- &ter part of the articles had bees admitted by Mr. '
pledatone, the objections being to the 4th and 6th articles.
The pro'l.sl objection of Mr. Gladstone was that the pro-
whoa,.4 the bishop had not bees duly and properly tercet
goe der (Meer of the c .urt, George Todd, bad *erred the
',ea boon is Accordance with Mr. Oladetene's m-
aam. and for that geatimusa's eionveniesee. What
wen the cireemstaorcs of the cue? On Saturday, the
beta be. lot the officer of the court made an attempt to
„n„. alr t.l.ektone with the prohibitioa by calling at the ;

geacime et of divine service. Mr. Gladatesup at that time
*Noted to neeive the prohibition, but requested the MI-
en to tall at hiv residence at Brixton, is the meaty of
farm on the Monday, when he would consent to receive
et. t.ia war done, and it was, therefore, idle oa the part of
gig Gladstone to object to the due service of the prolilbition.
After some tort. observations the leaned doctor eon-
owed by railing the court to confirm the prohibition.
Spinks said that he appeared foe Mr. Oholstose, and,
after some preliminary oboe-relations, remarked that his
gloat had. an ignorance of the ectleidastiad law, proceeded
ertec.ouely twee., the court ou former ace:micas, and, con•
seqaeatly opal ha proceeding, judgment was advents to

/at judife—Do you mean to commune upon my judg-
ana—bcceuse it is irregular ?
Du kinks intended to raise the whole question of the law
es the subj. et.
The Jth.ge —I f you intend to raise any objection to my
Moore% I have nothing to say against it more than to
Intorna yoi that is es most irregular.
Pr. Stank, would not at that moment go into the matter,
though there were precedent Peg lag his doing so. So far
m the. ',hop called his hcense a limes at pleasure, he (Dr.
pooh.) ilinied the fact. The lionise was a license in full,
and witteoit any reservation or limit. Ho had also to take
&Tenon to the validity of the prohibition, which was
worded se the prohibition of the " Bight Rev. Father
God," nob ad of " Father in God. Nu doubt it was •
Weigel error, bat, so far u the court was coocerned,
it eat a fatal error, inasmuch as Mr. (il4dBlooll was
brought into the court upon the prohibitioa, and
upon a Yich the court was to give judgment. There
was another very important objection to the service
of the prohibition. The service took piaci, in the diocese of
and sot in the diocese of the Bishop of Igia-
don. Now he maintained that this was a fatal objection.
The Dunn of Arches—ls not this the court of appeal for
the whole province ?
Dr. :Speaks—No doubt it is, but I contend the archbishop
is the ordinary of the babups, and not of the subjects of the
bohop. Mr. Gladstone clearly ought to have been cited in
the iliac. on of Loodou. The beet objection he should take
was. that thee. pruceediags had been contrary, if not to the
letter, certainly to the spirit of the Church Discipline Act.
The haste that had taken place in the preliminary inquiry
was contrary to that act, which provided that notice
shoal,' be given to an actuate' party of any charge
aglow him. The hurry of the proceedings had been
a great hardship upon Mr. Gladstone, who had been com-
pelled to appear, not knowing the law, and who by his
personal appearance had probably deprived himself of the
admatme of the preliminary objeetiome whichbad now been
made The learned gentleman proceeded to object to the
articles upon technical grounds. He coateeded that the
prokibit.aa was not • valid last rument. sad cited came from
Hooker's " Eceleiiastical Polity" in support of his views.
Mr. tilailat.cie had no elispositum to oppose lawful autho-
rity, and if this court confirmed the instrument of prohibi-
tion, the rev. gentleman weuld retreat to the judgment of
the court and erase to do duty, although perhaps he might
appeal to a higher tribunal on • point *flaw. There was •
MI6 ult•ns conviction on his part that the bishop had no
power such ae he claimed, and it was apes that ground that
be bad withstood it. The instrument purported to be a
ettp.hsh3 of the license, prohibiting Mr. Gladstone from
doing ditty in the diocese. He submitted that that instru-
ment 1134 plainly a punishment on the face of it, and there-
fore filen and void, because it was not in accordance with
the a. t for tie. correction of clerks, which stated that no
Foresaw; for the punishment of clerks ehould be taken
without due *,thee being given. It had beta said that
thew pr,trie tory chapels were unknown to the law, and
that that was the reason why they alone were under the
arbitrary power of the bishop. His argument was that the
law was expensive in its nature. The circle enlarged by the
application of eireuanstauces to particulars. lf, therefore, he
!Wild prove that there was an analogy between the minis-
ten chapels of preprietary chape and preachenhips and lecture-
ships is marinas pariehes, then he should prove that Mr.
Gladstone was entitled to the name protection as clergymen
placed in that position. The learned gentleman proceeded
*idiom that the two descriptions of clergy were in all eni-
gma Washes'. It was • remarkable fact that the question
era remeation of • license under such circumstance/ was
areseiviestioned in any of the books, which was very strong
arcative evidence that the claim had never been asserted.
There was no form of revocation of license, which he held
also to be stroag negative evidence that there
W..f no such claim to this arbitrary power on the part of the
bishop, which was in fact adepoaition of a clergyman from
the ministry without trial. Another point, to which be
would call the attention if the court, was that, even sup-
posing the bishop had this power to revoke a licence mice
granted, still it remained for the promoter to prove that he
had the power to prevent • clergyman from doing duty.
throughout the whole of his diocese. Unless it was proved
that the whole of the iostrumest of prohibition was good,
the whole of it legally mast be considered bed. This pro-
hibition was not a mere matter of form, se it very clearly
appeared that the Bishop of London has determined fully
to tarry it out. Some time since, Mr. Gladstone, it &p-
-rated, was going to do duty at Bow, and the bishop pre-
vkatid h.m, sending down to the rector of Bow and the
churchwardens • =coition against the reverend gentleman's
appear.une there.
Dr hey ford objected to the iutroduetioa of such gustiest,
es they were nut properly before the court.
?•;•.iiks—The facts have appeared ia the newspapers, •
which ere the authentic history of the day.
Tar than of Arches—lt would open a very wide door if
you were to refer to anything that has appeared in soy
aewelinper But I will sit here as long as you like, egg
you may refer to any subject you like.
