THE CAtE OF ARCHDEACON DENISON was opened at
Bath on Tuesday. The Archbishop of Canterbury
presided in person with Dr. Lushington. Dr. Phil-
limore appeared for Archdeacon Denison, and Dr.
Bayford for the prosecution. The first day was
taken np with technical proceedings. On the second
day, after hearing the evidence of different witnesses,
the court decided that the printing and publishing of
the sermon dated August 7, 1853, by the authority of
Archdeacon Denison, was proved ; that the publishing
only of the second sermon, dated November 6, 1853,
VMS also proved ; but that there was no proof to
satisfy the court of the preaching, printing, or publi-
cation of the third sermon, bearing date Sunday,
May 14, 1854. The question whether those sermons
contaihed doctrines contrary to the articles and prac •
tices of the Church of England, remained to be
proved. On the third day Dr. Bayford proceeded to
show that the doctrines propounded by these ser-
mons were to the effect, that the body and blood of
Christ were present not in a corporeal but in a
spiritual manner in the elements of the sacrament,
and that this was effected by the act of consecration to
such an extent that all who receive the bread and
wine necessarily receive the body ant blood of Christ.
This interpretation of the 25th and 28th and 29th
Articles was wholly opposed to that held by the
Church, for it followed that adoration must be paid
to the elements, and that the person so worshipping
worshipped not the bread and wine, but what was con-
tained in the bread and wine. Dr. Bayford, in con-
clusion, quoted largely from the Homilies, from
Latimer, Ridley, Cranmer, and the early Reformers,

to show that this doctrine was unsound, and called
upon the court to pronounce in ilia favour. Dr.
Phillimore's reply will occupy some •days.
MR. FRIEND, of the pin-factory, Borough-road ;
Tucker, of the wheel-works, Newington cause-
way; Mr. Shaw, japanner, and Mr. Nash, brush-
manufacturer, both of Bermondsey ; and Mr.
Clemow, fur.cutter, of Long-lane, were summoned
on Thursday before Mr. Combe, at Southwark, and
fined from 101. to 21. each, for not having the fur-
naces of their works so constructed as to consume
the smoke.
A CASE OF BREACH OF PROMISE was tried at Exe-
ter, before Mr. Baron Martin, on Wednesday, in
which some emu-dug specimens of light love litera-
ture were brought out. The plaintiff, a Miss
Cooper, was the daughter of a tradesman at Ply-
mouth, and the defendant, a Captain Trader, was
the master of a merchant vessel, the Constitution,
b!longing to Messrs. Walton. In November, '54,
Captain Trader made an offer to and was accepted by
Mims. Cooper. The engagement lasted till the
present year, when, finding an opportunity to marry
a richer girl, he most unceremoniously broke off the
match. 'The present action was the result of his not
re.membering the old adage, "Ls best to be off
