RITUALISM AT ST. ALBANS, HOLBORN.

MARTIN e. THE REV. A. H. MACKONOCKIE.

This case, to which a great deal of public interest
attaches, aa the decision will form a precedent en the
question of ritualism, came on for hearing this moraine
at the Arches Court, Westminster. In the ordinary comae
it would have come before Sir Robert Phillimore, as Dean
of the Arches, but the promoter haring objected to hie
sitting as judge, on the ground that he has acted
as counsel for the defendant, a special commission was 'Fp
pointed by him consisting of the Queen's Advocate, Dr,
Travers Twin, Q.C., and Dr. Robertson, before whom the
case is now under argument. Both parties are repreeenad
by public bodies, the promoter by the Church Association,
and the defendant by the Church Union.
Mr. A. Stephens, Q.C., Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., M.P., De
Swabey, and Mr. Droop, instructed by Mr. Moore, appesr
foe Mr. Martin ; and Mr. W. M. James, Q.C., Mt
Prideaux. Q.C., Dr. Tristram, and Mr. Charles, ia
strutted by Mr. Brooks, for the Rev. A. H. Macikonorlia
The charges against Mr. Mackonochie as amended are foe,
namely, 1. The elevation of the Host ; 2. The use of Witte
candles on the altar at the time of the administration of

the Holy Communion ; 3. The nut of the incense;
Mixing water with the wine used at the communion. The
question of the eucharistic vestments is not !shied.

The commission having been read,
__ _

Mr. James, before the promoter's case was opened, pro
tested against the constitution of the court, which was not
such in his opinion as to give it authority to hear the
cause. It was the intention of those whom he repro
sound as loon on the Court of Common Law °NAV, to
raise that question by way of prohibition, and aL the
question whether the accusations alleged in the Wier of
request were such as to constitute any ecclesiastical Offence
whatever.

Twice—Would it not now be too late to raise the
second question!
Mr. James—lt is never too late to raise the question of
prohibition. We objected to the articles before the late
judge on the ground that no ecclesiastical offence was
alleged. The learned counsel proceeded to contend that
the couimiasioners had no authority to hear the cease

the Church Discipline Aot giving the power to the judge
only without authority to delegate it.

kr. Prideatm followed on the same side.

Mr. A. Stephens complained that the protest had en
been notified earlier in the proceedings, but at the tams
time concurred to a great extent in the objection to Ms
oonstitution of the court. If the two judge. differed, who
waa to decide?

Dr. Itobertsost—Astbejanior 'should withdrawmy judo.
meat.

Mr. Stephens added that whatever might be the be-
eision of the oomtnissioners either party would in his
opinion be at liberty to appeal to the Dean of Arches.
The proceedings in the Court of Arches, it must be remem-
bered, were only the means of obtaining the ultimate
deci.ion of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Calmed,
and he was anxious, therefore, that time should not as
wasted and expense incurred in a lengthened argument apex
• mere technical point. On the 7th of August, when applies,
Lion was made to the Court of Arches to know when and
before whom the cause should be argued, the official prin.
cipal proposed that he should preside with the Vicar.
General of the province of Canterbury, and the chairman
of the diocese of Rochester assessors. The promotes
objected to that arrangement on the ground that Sir
Robert Phillimore had acted for the defendant
and had signed and settled the articles; sad
when the Dean proposed that the Vicar-General
of the province should preside, and the promoter
concurred in the proposal, no objection was raised
on the part of the defendants. Subsequently Dr. Tristram
applied to Sir R. Phillimore to pre:Mle, on the ground
that he had no power to delegate his authority as judge
of the court, but the objection was overruled. He war
anxious to avoid discussions which might extend over two
years upon a technical point, and on that view expressed
his willingness that the Dean of Arches should hear the
cause with or without assessors.

Mr. Coleridge having offered some obsenrations to the
same effect,
Dr. Robertson expressed surprise that an injunction had
not been applied for in the Court of Chancery to ristraiii
the action of the court.

Mr. James said there was great difficulty in obtaining
such an order from a Vice-Chancellor during the vacation.
Dr. Twirls said the court was placed in a positron of some
difficulty, because the prayers delivered in by the proctors
gave no idea that any objection was to be raised on either
side to the jurisdiction of the court. Certainly he could
not have expected that the party promoting the office of
the judge would concur in the objection raised by the de-
fendant, seeing that the letters of request were addressed
to the " official principal of the Arches Court, his surro-
gates, or any other con.petent judge." He presumed that
the ground on which the counsel for the prosecution had
taken their present course was that they thought it would
be for the greater convenience of all parties. The objection
was not taken by way of protest, as suggested by the
Dean of Arches, because although the counsel for the de.
fendant had used the term pretest, they had really sub.
mitred the point on a formal objection.
Mr. respectfully request that the protest may
be entered.

Dr. Twiu said the proper course of proceeding would
have been for notice of protest to be given, with the
grounds upon which it was made. and in that case there
would have been an opportunity of answering the
objection, and the court would either have ad-
mitted or overruled them. No doubt this was a
somewhat extraordinary proceeding, and the court
was not an ordinary court. They assumed, therefore,
that the counsel for the defendant appeared under pro-
test, and raised this question, not for the pur-
pose of an appeal, but with a view to en applies,
tion for a prohibition. The learned judge who is-
sued the commission appeared to have entertained
no doubt of his power to do so, and he (Dr. TOM)
was not prepared to say that he was by any means
convinced by any suggestions of the learned counsel that
Sir Robert Phillimore had not the power, or that the com-
missioners had not the power to hear and decide the cause
as they were directed. In his opinion the proper conceit
for the court to pursue under the circumstances was to
overrule the protest. That MIA the course which the
Court of Arches had in former times thought it its duty
under similar circumstance. to follow, and it was a course
convenient to the parties, bemuse there was some doubt
whether a court of common law would issue a prohibition
until some step had been taken in the matter.
Dr. Robertson expressed his entir • concurrence in the
judgment of Dr. Twiu and also his surer se that the
promoter had concurred in the objection to the constitu-
tion of the court.

Mr. James and Mr. Stephens were both of o,uni ni that
the course suggested was a very convenient one.
The hearing was then adjnurne 1 till this day fortnight
to allow time for an applicatoi to be made to the Court
of Queen's Bench for a prohibition.

A Co-orartarrva SOCIETY. —A numerously-at-
tended meeting of the inhabitants of Holloway and High-
gate was held last night in Hampden Hall, Hampden-road,
in furtherance of the 00-optrative movement started by
A. G. E. Heine. The meeting was composed almost
entirely of working men and their wives. Mr. W. T. M'C.
Torrens, M.P., presided, and expressed his approval of
the co-operative movement. Mr. Heine made a very
interesting and suggestive statement, explanatory of the
reasons which bad induced him to start the movement,
and in illustration of the importance to the working classes
of co-operation and the practice of the ready-money prin-
ciple in the purchase of their food. Resolutions were
approving of Mr. Heine's plan, and virtually estab-
lishing a company, to be known in Inture as the Holloway
and Highgate Co-operative Society (Limited).
