TO TIM EDITOR or THE DAILY NEVII.
. -

Sts,—Hitherto I have taken no trouble to refute
the slanders which, through the medium of the
prem, have been propagated respecting myself ; as, in more
eases than one, I have long ago determined to seek, through
legal channels, for that justice to which, as • British sub-
ject, I feel I am entitled.
In the Daily Neves of this day, however, there is • para-
graph which Dot only 0000STOI myself, but which directly
refers to advice purporting to have been given by my able
counsel in the Stepney inquiry.
It is stated that, acting under Kr. Best's advice, I have
"re-entered upon the ministerial duties of my parish, upon
the smumption that the bishop has abandoned his intention
of proceeding farther with the cam." Now, sir, I beg per-
mission to state that I never consulted either Mr. Best or
any other persoo whatever on the subject, and that so far
from thinking that "the bishop has aliatolcued his inten-
tion dproceeding further with the case," my taking duty
' was with the expreme intention of urging the authorities to
proceed to its adjudication.
' la the paragraph it is stated that I re-commenced my
ministerial labours at St. Philip's on Sunday laat, whereas
the fad I I have taken the whole of the duties both
manila& afternoon, and evening, in the church for the last
two Sundays ; and I have the pleasure to inform you that I
lave not done so without effect ; for the bishop is now
doing what he ought to have done several months since,
had he proceeded ,iccording to law, which after recitveisi
thereport of the commissioner, required him to p
" forthwith."

Since the sitting of the commission, I had not had any
communication whatever from the bishop until after I took
the duty.
Whether Providence has favoured his lordship with a son
of his own I know not, but had your son, sir, had the mi.
fortune to be placed in similar eirc unstances with myself,
I ask you as an Englishman of refined edootiaa and Chris-
tian feeling, would you think it a fatherly act—and ■ bishop
lays claim to the title of right reverend father in God—to
came to be held the sword of les over the head of a
sea for nearly sin months, during which time, if there be
say truth at ail in the Christian rel 4, on, a man might have
sisowely repented and have obtained forgiveness, even had
his faults been as formidable as those which have been laid
to my charge - I am, kc.,
