It was stated in the Express of the 14th inst. that tai

General, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Vice-Chasseellor

Page Wood, Mr. Hubbard, sad °them, seeking to compel up
them to pay over the amount of his salary from the Colo- it
oral Bishopric* Fund, which has been withheld during the 10
last two years. The defendants is the rose have filed their It
answer, and have fully sea out the circumstances under
which the fund wee formed. In June, 1853, the council is
of the fund appropriated a capital rum of 10,0001. for the
ga
establishment of the bishopric of Natal, and Dr. Colons° Ilk
wee nominated bishop by the Duke of Newcastle, who was
then Cotosial Beermary. The defendants urge that they
bad nothing to do with the appointment of Bishop Colemo.
Having adverted to the letters patent and the recent jodg- "—Mt
ment of the Judicial Committee of Privy Conseil, the de- 5!
fendanti say in thetr answer "We are advised that, in ac-
gat
oordanoe with the said judgment, the letters patent are null 10.1

cese, the objects far which the funds hereinbefore men- 11.. I
timed were subscribed and invested have not been ob. 41
tamed, which objects wore, in the first place, to secure 0.4
the pastoral care of a bishop for the clergy and people gm
lot the diocese of Natal, and, ia the woad place, to aim
bring such bishop nada the jurisdiction of the metro- Mt
politan, himself being subject to the Archbishop of OA
Canterbury. And we declare our belief that none
of the contributors to the Colonial Bishops' Fund tai
intended to contribute towards the support of a bishop NI
such as the judgment of the Judicial Committee of At
her Majesty's Privy Council has decided the plaintiff to be ; teA
that is to say, a bishop without any jurisdiction over his WM
clergy on the one baud, and entirely independent of all t
metropolitan jurisdiction on the other." The defendants 10(
