THE LATE MEETING ,AT BT. I.4MHTB-HALE.

We have been requested to publish the following
resolutions .

At a numerously attended meeting of laymen, common'.
cante of the church of St. Barnabas, held on the 17th of
June 1838, the following resolutions were moved, and
passed ananimonaly :
" 1. That whereas the charges lately made against the
Rev. Alfred Poole, at a meeting held at St. Jani:itejahml
Juno 11, Isa, are seatuisions and false, and are
to pre&dim his appeal to the Archbishop, this meeting de-
clares its heartfelt sympathy with and undiminished coed-
deuce in Mr. Poole, as their minister, who by his @pontos
life, and unceasing labours amongst them for seven years,
has won the affection of all classes of his people.
"2. That Wm meeting declares its admiration of Mr.
Poole's conduct in the trying and difficult circumstances in
which he has been placed ; and that, to the best of its belief,
during his amen years' ministrations at St. Barnabea, he has
uniformly meted with disretion, and not exceeded in his
teaching or practice the doctrines or discipline of the church
of England.
"3. That this meeting, consisting as it does wholly et
commenicents at St. Barnabas, diet-loony dudes that it in
the practice of the clergy so require confession as a prepara-
tion nesameary to the reception of the Holy Cotenants; but
it samerts on the part of the clergy and ante laity, the right
of the latter to the practice of confession, and the benellt of
absolution, as set forth In the service tor 'Ordering of Flinn,'
in the • Exhortation,' in the office et ' Holy Communist;
mad in the Order for the Visitation of the Sick,' in the
Book of Common Prayer of the church of England.
4. That this meeting has heard with the utmost ndir
nation of the foul aspersions cast at the meeting at AL
James's-ball upon the reputation of ladies of the most yr
blemished character, whose exertions and kindness amongst
the poor ta this district are held in the highest claimants
by every one here precut ; and that the greatest coelliksie
is telt by this meeting that the offertory alms have never been
misapplied by the clergy or district visitors.
"S. That this meeting cannot swats without express-
ing its fervent attachment to the Book of Common Prayer
and its assent to the following presage extracted from the
36th canon of the English church That the Book of
Common Prayer and of ordering of bishops, priests, and
deacons, oontatneth in it nothing contrary to the word of
God, and that it be lawfully se med.'
"6. Resolved that a copy of thee resolutions be for-
warded to the Bishop of London, with an urgent must
that his lordahlp will reinstate the Rev. Alfred Poole in his
curacy, or be pleased to state, for the eallafaction of the die-
ts* the grounds of his diorama
"1.
_Reeolved that a copy of these resolutions be for-
warded to the archbishop of the province."
