ESSAYS AND REVIEWS.

THS OFVICI Of TN! JUDGE PROMOTTM ST THE BI,Hop

•or SALISBURY V. WILLIAILS (CILIZUL).

Dr. Philliroore this morning commenced his reply to the
objections urged by Dr. Deane and Mr. Stephen to the ad-
missibility of the allegation against Dr. Williams, and
seeded to argue that those objections mold not be sustained
in law. In the first place, be stated the exact position is
the cue was now placed. The main question beieg
debatedon the admissibility of the allegation, would give*.
the accused party an advantage which ha, sppeariug for the
Bishop of Salisbury, by no means regretted—namely, the
advantage of • reply. Stripped of the technicalities of the
law the real issue was practically and substantially this_

the Church of Eogland,the whole object of which articles.md
formularies war to secure to the people of this country

ternal revelation, and believed God's word would
be fulfilled; and his only fear from the publication
of this book, if sanotioued by the judge of that

Dr. Deans—l must intemipt my lammed friend. The
same report that In mentions reached our ears, sod we
thought it our duty to make inquiries as to it. truth, and
even employed a detective to ascertain whether any true or
prided copies of this book had been published in the
manufacturing districts, and we found that not one copy
bed been so circulated at Leeds. _ _

Dr. Phillimore--I never said that the "Essays and Re.
views" had been so circulated, but they have, as lem in-
formed, been circulated in a cheap form, and soh! for it.
each amongst the artisans of Leeds.
Dr. Deane—And that is what I am instructed to deny.
Dr. Phillimore observed that Mr. Monroe, a clergyman
of the church of England on going to Leeds to lecture upon
the Gospel, found, WI 11. Phitlimore) was informed, his
work impaled by thee' tion of the " Essays and Reviews."
Upon the publication of this book the whole episcopate of
Canterbury met together, and unanimously condemned it,and
sever he believed since the reformation bad there been an Goa-
&ion on which the unanimous opinion of the episcopate was ex.
pressed against a work written by clergymen. It hadbeen said
that it was impolitic for the Bishop of Salisbury to proceed
in this cue--that if he had left the matter alone it would
have died out after a time ; but he considered, having re.
ference to the character of the book and its unanimous
condemnation by the bishops, that the Bishop of Salisbury
had done his bare duty in bringing the case into this court ;
and the more that act of his was reflected upon the more it
would be seen that it was the only one which—he would
not my se • bishop of the church of England, but
as an honest man —was open to him. The next
question for consideration was by what law the
court was to decide upon the admissibility of these
articles, and he apprehended that that law WAS to be found
in the canons, in the articles, in the liturgy, including the
ordination service, and including the particular portions of
Scripture selected' foe • vlar daya,aod the interpretation
which bad been piecd upon all these sources of law by de.
aided came The first of the ranges to which he referred
was the 36th, relatingto subscription, and he contended that
the (amnion " unfe*mdly believe the canonical
Scriptures of the Old and New Testament" woe
only another way of saying that the books of the
Old and New Testament were inspired, and that if,
se was argued on the other side, the belief ex.
was in the original books, wherever they were to be
pressedeiui such a doctrine would be entirely destructive of all
uniformity of worship throughout the kingdom. Con.
meted with this point was the question of the ad-
missibility of selections from Scripture in the
edictal of indictment. His contention was that
this, could be no question as to the adminibility
off,he collects, which were selections from Scripture applio.
abie to rarftmlar days ; and inasmuch as the church had
alsodecLted that two other portions of Scripture should be
read on particular days, supposing for • moment that
some of these passages contained a distinct denial
of the doctrine which Dr. Williams had preached, it wan
surely open to introduce into the indictment extracts from
those purges, to prove that the doctrine of the defendant
was not wording to the doctrine of the church of England.
These were the only courts in which spiritual offences
could be tried, and it would be • tremendous proposition to
say that the only court which could take cognisance of that
which was charged as contrary to the teaching of Holy
Writ was by the form of its proceeding incapacitated
from receiving. the best evidence on the subject. The
Items were introduced to illustrate and confirm the
doctrines of the church, to explain the mystery, relate the
history, or apply the example of the event observed, and
this end would be entirely defeated if • clergyman ware not
bound to them as essential parts of the doctrine of the
church. For this view of the purposes of the lemons he
quoted Bishop Cosin and Wheatley on the Book of Coma
mon Prayer, and Jeremy Taylor.
[At this point of the argument our report was despatched.]

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commisaimer Evans.)

Ms bankrupt, were braid manufacturers, of Cheapside,
sad ebewhere. This was the examination meeting. The
seeennts have been prepared by Mr. Chatteria They total
&Mass are 67,5351., on which a dividend 6f 3s. ert. in the
pima has already been declared, and a further dividend is
espeded, the amount of which is dependant ou the realise-
ties 41 some consignments to Amenca.
Mr. Reed appeared for the aasignees. As the accounts
bad been tiled in due time, it was proposed to allow the
bankrupts to pass, for it would only he wasting the time of
the court to go into further inquiry on the question of ac-
counts. Bat when the bankrupts applied for their
order of discharge there would probably be a very
lengthened examination es to whethdr certain consign-
ments to New York bad beeninade bona tide or not. The
matter was now being inquired into on the other side of the
Atlantic, and until the assignees got full in.
formation from there, they could not take -ny
step, with advantage to the creditors. Thum
consignments amounted to upwards of F 3,0001. at cost
price • and it was quite clear that a fraud had been perpe-
trated by tome one in respect to those consignments.
Account sales had been returned, but they hal been accom-
panied by • remittance of 1,5001. only, in respect of goods
worth 33,000/. • and this had been paid under protest. The
assignees had uses tamed that overcharges of 13,C301. had
been made ; sad • pensoo named Kenton had been arrested
at New York, and held to bail.
Mr. Linklater, on behalf of the bankrupt Barnard, ex-
pressed his sense of the candour with which Mr. Reed had
stated the charge, and denied that there had been any
fraud on the part of his client. The bankrupts bad been in
business eighteen years ; a former partner named Douglas,
who died last year, had left 10,1:001. iu the concern ; at the
stockSakieg in July tart they had • substantial
capital of 15,001N.,:making in all 2.1,0001.
Mr. Barnard was anxious that the assignees and creditors
should have the fullest opportunity of investigating the cir-
cuuatinces of the consignments to New York, confident
that it would result is relieving him from any charge.
During eighteen years there had not been • ale& wooer
modation transaction. The bankrupts' debts were 117,0004
and
they bad given up property amounting to nearly
0001.
Mr. Roll, representing the bankrupt Rosenthal, modelle
same declaration, and the bankrupts passed.
The order of discharge was appointed for the 25th o
February.
