THE EXPELLED WIMLEYAN

A meeting was held at the Town-hall, Birmingham,
on Taesday evening, for the purpose of hearing statements
from Mom Dunn, Everett, and Griffiths, the expelled
Waders preachers, on the subject of what transpired at the
recent onsfuenee. The affair appeared to excite a great
dial of Interest amongst the Wesleyan body, the hall having
been greatly crowded from six o'clock, the hour when the
meeting ottmosetteed, until midnight, when it terminated.
Joon WEIGHT, Esq., of Sparkbrook House, occupied the
chair. The statements of the three gentlemen above re-
(erred to were received with marks of sympathy as regarded
themselves, sad with shouts of exec/stint at the
conduct of the conferenos. A correspondeet says:
The excitement in the meeting, but especially in
the neighbourhood of the Chairman's mat, was excessive,
far exceeding that of any political assembly even her. for
several years ; stun indivldtuds nee up and gesticulated
violently, so extreme was apparently their indignation : in
the midst of this, a person who obtained admiring to the
meeting, and who was said to have written in favour of the
conferee's undo? the *rattan of " Bate." (as I wider.
stood), rese up to address the meeting ; he was ressivod
with tremendous groaning ; several individuals sitting near
the resident seised him by the 00/IAT, and others peeked him
violently back into hie seat ; at mos moment • erne any-
thing bat creditable to a Christian assembly seemed
im-
minent, but ultimately upon the remonstrance of the chair-
man, this intruder gave way, and the besinese reseeded ;
the tone, however, of the speakers, and the proceedings
throughout, ileum d a character otextraordinary violence."
The following resolutions were pemsd
" That this meeting, having heard the statesman of the
Meson. Everett, Dunn, and Galata, with reference to their
recent septillion from the Wesleyan body, solemnly regards
that expulsion ;asa gross violation of Ws principles of the
New Testament.
" That this meeting tenders its women sympathies to the
Rev. Messrs. Everett, Dean, and Grif iths. is their present
painful circumstances, and pledges itself to aid the subearip.
Om shady entered into fur their future support, as minis-
ters of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
" That this meeting is desidedly of opinion that the time
has arrived for the members of the Weeleysa methodist body
firmly and respectfully to see sire the Conference the
repeal of the obnoxious laws awn, by which the Christian
liberties of both ministers and asentbses are iavadaL"
