THE MEETING AT ST. SABLES'S HALL. •,,

8114—As your journal contained a report of the
proceedings at St. James's Hall, on Friday last, I
rely upon your goodness, nay, your sense of justice,
to insert the following extract from a sermon which
I preached yesterday to St. Paul's Charch.—l am,
it" ROBT. LIDDELL,
Incumbent of Bt. Paul's and of St. Barnabae.
36, Wilton-crescent, June 14.

I mince but briefly advert to • subject which will be
doubtless uppermost in your own minds, and which impli-
cates the character of one who has for many years laboured
in the pastoral office, and won the respect and love of all
who know him best. There is In the minds of our people •
strong love of justice and fair-play. Now, let these facts
then, be borne in mind—that the accused person has not
only emphatically denied the statements that have been
brought against him, but has from the first earnestly en-
treated his ecclesiastical superior that he might be openly
confronted with his accusers face to face, and be permitted
to sift their evidence and characters. That has been denied
him. He hes been told that that particular evidence is looked
upon by his superior with much suspicion; but that quite
independently of it, and in consequence of his own admissions,
his bosom Is revoked. He hu again and again asked to
know specifically what those admissions are—not being con-
scious of having made any which would subject him to so
heavy a sentence—but up to this moment he has not been
able to obtain a statement of them. A bishop has power to
revoke a curate's license without assigning any reason : the
inferior has only the power of appeal to the archbishop ; and
tills cos is now under appeal, a month being the space allowed
for it. The accused is acting under legal advice, without which
be cannot in each • momentous case take one single stetZ
case must soon be forthcoming, and yet wader these e
stances, white judgment is mill pending—under appeal—he
has met with the extra judicial treatment of which you as
cognizant. I pees no comments on these facts ; now I ask
only that justice, bare simple justice, be done. I ask that
what law and equity accord to the commonest felon should
not be withheld from one of hitherto spotless character, and
then let him abide the result. Meentinte suspend your judg-
ment, at least till you have heard both Wee of • question.

The Rev. Alfred Poole has addressed a letter to the
Time', dated from Bt. Barnabas College, in which he maks
a statement agreeing with Mr. Liddell's remarks; and in
which he says also " I most solemnly and emphatically de-
clare that the whole of the filthy and disgusting statements
which the Ron. and Rev. F. Baring has thought it right to
make public are, as far as I em couoerned, entire and deli-
berate falsehoods." Mr. Pools adds that his legal advisers
are engaged In preparing the measures which may be con-
sidered neceseary to carry the case before a higher tribunal;
and that be has instructed his legal advisers to consider
how far, by means of a prosecution against Mr. Baring or
any other per.ens, " it may be in my power to teat the tenth
or falsehood of the abominable and disgusting charges he
has brought against me." In case there should he
advised then may be—technical difficulties in the way, "if
Mr. Baring will remove those difficulties, and enable ma to
bring the charges for trial before any tribunal, ecciesiasdcal
or civil, I will pledge myself to do so." A long cenurnmicalion
from the Rev. F. A. Marriott, of the same perish, appears
also in tie Tosses. We reed in it :—" Will not the Digo%
seeing what has fallen upon Mr. Poole, bear in mind lai
own convictions as implied in his words to Mr. Liddell, that
the revocation of Mr. Poole's license to the cure of
Barnabas need not prevent his being Homed to a care in
another diocese, or even in that of London ? Will not be
publicly declare how differently he views Mr. Poole's con-
duct from Mr. Baring ? Will he not say that so fee as Mr.
Poole is accused of conscious moral wrong, especially of
examining penitents in an impious and disgusting manna,
it is a cruel libel ? Will he not say that he, so far from con-
demning him, as Mr. Baring says, upon the evidence pro-
duced by him, can heartily give him credit for the purest
motives and the purest thoughts in hie own heart ; that the
utmost of which he can accuse him is that, in his earnest
desire to bring sinners to a sense of their state, he has true•
greased the limits of a sound discretion, however seriously in
the bishoo's view, yet only by an error of judgment =him own
part; and, further, that, in his lordship's opinion, he appears
from his own admissions to have recommended sinners bur-
dened in conscience too readily sad too frequently to have
recourse to confession and absdution 1"
