that, lose the benefits whirl& Weill given to it be baptism ;
hot the adult was able to make it, 01111 court scion, then-
fore they might have both faith and repentance, as they
came in their own right to make their declaration ; but if
they were, not sincere in their faith and repentanee,
they e odd not receive remission of their sine. Again the
Learned Judge went over many more of the authorities
referred to, sad dwelt upon certain doe rinse held by the
elder divines at the period of the reformation, Calvin,
Luther, and others upon the doctrine of election. If this
were the doctrine of the church, observed the judge, there
would be no necessity for prayer. Bet according to our
faith God premised forgiveness to all who truly repented.
Tbis doctrine encouraged both faith and repentance. In
many of the works which had been referred to there were no
doubt contradictory pussies. Waterman and Martyr
were referred to, and Wickliffe, the latter of whom
drew up the Lambeth articles, which, when published, gave
rise to much discussion ; these treated upon election,
predestination, and regeneration, and the Queen (E.trabeth)
heisted that they should be reversed, which was done. The
beads of the colleges having protested against them, they
were suppressed. Be (the judge) felt the words laid down
in the articles of the church admitted of no doubt, and when
these, with the acts of the etureb, are reconcilable as laid
dews in the baptismal service and in acts of parliament, they
must be taken in their true and literal meaning, and not as
au implied point. The question is, does the doctrine of the
church of England agree with Mr. Gorham's opinion ? It
was clear to him (the judge), from the tenor of the passages
he had quoted, that the children did receive an act of grace
by baptism, and were regenerated ; that it was the doctrine
of the church of England that they were saved, and that
therefore Mr. Gorham's opinions were opposed 'o the doc-
trine of the church. Has then the bishop shown sufficient
cause for not instituting him in the living of the church ?
Ho (the judge) considered the bishop had, and in conse-
quence he was entitled to be dismissed wish cats. and
Mr. o:tham's doctrines must be held as opposed to those of
the chareh.
The Proctor (Mr. Dowdier) said be wished the court to
understand that they would appeal against the decision.
The Judge replied, he bad anticipated as much. It was
a question of too much importance to rest on the respon-
sibility of one person. If he had thought no appeal would
be made, he should have called to his achronce a nisa of
groat eminent"; it was the Lord Chancellor. But, consider-
ing an appeal would be made to a higher authority, he had
not done so.

ber of barns and other fartnnuildings, the property of a

he was not in his right senses.
The Chief Baron said that, having regard to the contents
of the certificates and the other c:rcumstancts of the case, he
should order the prisoner to he imprisoned far only three
months, and, if it was c'rrectly stated that his mind was
affected, this would give an opportanity for planing him in
proper custody, and preventing him from committing further
mischief.

under illl4llo pwenc.s. Ina prosecutors were Lord Morley,
D Jones, S q., 01.19, Eaton square, and Mr. Bass, of ist,
Jam s's-street, gukannth. Mr. Payne appeared for the

r.
The three charges against the prisoner were embodied in
OM indictment. Evidence was given in respect of two of
them only, and that evidence *newel that the prisoner, who
has beau before ceuv.eted in th's court of the same offence,
was • person puseeasd of considerahle artifice and cunning.
It appeared :hat by some na Ins he b came aware :hat Mr.
Boss, the gunsmith of Sr. James's street, bed on the 16th of
June sent a di.ublebarrelled gun to the residence of one of
his **Amass, No. 10, Windsor-terrace. Vim:hall-road, to
be fl naked, for on the evening of that day he went to that
house, and peeented to Mrs. Harvey, the wife of the
workman alluded to, a note, purporting to have
been written by Mr. Boss, requesting that the gun
should he inimeeiate'y sent back to him in the
state in which it then was, and singularly enough the request
was written upon the back of onset Mr. Bas's invoices, but it
was sworn Mat no one in Mr. Boss's establishment gave the
prironer any authority to g 3 on such an errand. The gun,
which was mounted on a new, unfooli.h..d stock, wee given
to the prisoner by Mn. Harvey, who believed that he had
been s sat for it by Mr. Boss, and the prisoner went away.
He wee in the Brawiway, Westminster, in the afternoon of
the same day with the gun, enclosed in a bailie bag, upon
his shoulder, when he accosted a young man named Charles
Bedley, porter to Mr. Lang, gunmaker, of No. 7, Hay-
market, and Bedley, supposing from the prisoner's wry-
lag a gar, that he was in the same i trade, entered
into conversation with him. The prisoner's attention
was attracted to Bedley by the latter carrying a
case of pistols, and his object in getting into con-
venation was to ascertain the deminntien of those inatrn-
meets. He t ilf B elle), that he was in the employ of Mr.
BOSS, and said that the gun he bad on his altouluer was the
property of Prince Albert, for *hem Mr. Boss had commands
to at it to a new stock, remounted. and inleil with silver.
Wallin ibis conversation was going on, the prisoner, unknown
to B. dlty, read the address on the petal-cm, which was :
