The bishop sew the drift d the whole matter, and as
gated that there Mehl be s meeting of the parties, In
order that • cue add be draws up to ba gehritted to hie
legal edam TM aura had been adopted, and
the wires weeks was saw before Dr. Ludington, the

alestilhera srat with/action upon the coarse whisk bad
bees adopted bf the new Bishop of Landes, bemuse it was
▪ well known fad that the late bishop did all ha could to
destroy the power of churchwardens to throw out the laity
from all mis of control in church matte& end to vest the
whole authority in the hands of the clergy. Mr. Waterton
neat noticed Sir John Dodson'a decision on the appeal
to the Court of Arches, and orneriest& that of the Com-
Melee of the Privy Council on final appeal. He ventured to
sr that the parishioners knew little or nothing of the extra-
ordinary and almost incredible influences which were brought
to beer upon that Committee of Council. Leaden of the
=t titles in the land, noblemen holding high odmi, and
were working in secret upon the minds of the judges,
so that they might strain the law in favour of the Puseyite
perry in the church.
Mr. Dom.:, raid that it ma his duty se chairman to
*as that impugning the impnetiaity of the Committee of
Privy Council we beads the question of the day. (Great
ltPnwx.)
Mr. WFATERTON said he was 1110 t Impugning the imparti-
ality of the Committee of Privy Council, for he was going
to pay them the highest compliment--nusely, that in spite
of such powerful influences they had delivered so impartial a
judgment. He looked upon that judgment as a great victory,
for those oates of furniture against which they bad born
fightim, when detached from doctrine, were insignificant and
valueless. If it were not for the doctrine of tranimbetentimion
which they supported, the pieces of furniture would scarcely
be worth a thought. But that was the doctrine they were
helped to 'nipped—namely, that a poor human being wear-
tnet • surplice and called a priest MUM tram/one breed and
wins into the living body and blood of Chriat
that upon every occasion when the Eucharistic sa-
crifice, ea it ma called, was offered, thin per
human being mad give or withhold Ond's Meatier se be
*vied by reseal reservation. It was that &mak barmy
which the symbols objected to taught, and it was again*
all this that he we determined to preterit as Mg am heir&
Mem bear.) Did the pariehioners think that be led the
few seal men who WO been working with Mr daring the
Lees limpers, and had spent their tame, there momyt sad their
ameba and beaerht themselves into all roes* obloquy
end eantaupt, bad been lighting amply Kralpited
an sea coverings for the reramental easels? ()a
the watery, thief protests had been andel wig Oar

damnable errors which would bring bark the people of this
country under the serfdom of the priedbood. Some of the
articles of furniture were to be retained, but the decision of
the Privy Council had destroyed the doctrines they were in-
tended to support. There woe to be no altar, and without
an altar these could not be a sacrifice. (Hear, hear.) The
Privy Council had declared that altan were Weigel, and they
would henceforth hare to resort to honest communion
tablas, on which there were to be no candles. (Cheers.) The
Privy Council said in effert that the Possittes had made
thendelvta an idol, but that they had struck off its head, and
DOW all the vitality of the Puseytte system had gone. He
(Mr. Waterton) bad seen a note written by the Archbishop
of Canterbury, in which his grace expressed an opinion that
in the repent judgment the evangelical party had gained a
great victory, and that the sacramental party in the church
mud depart from it. (Loud cheers.) There were dyers!
minor points undecided by the judgment of the Committee
of Council, sad these were to be left to the jurisdiction of
the bishop, so that everything now would depend upon the
people. Only let the Bishop of London and the other
bishops know what the people wanted, and they might do-
peW upon it they would very soon have it ell their own way.
(Lend cheers.) If the people carried on the work with the
hearty seal with which they had commenced it, they would
soon pin a complete triumph over all the Roman priests who
had thrust themselves, Übe Jenks, into protestant places of
worship. (Loud cheers.)
Thanks having been voted to Mr. Liddell he his ocean&
in the chair on that occesion, the meeting repented.
