moment that a collision must take „place, he did.all in hi,
power to avoid it, but it was then to late. And I find‘the
there was no look-out, kept, and no order made by the pilot
that a look-out should be kept. Upon these facts, I shall
look over the case, and see whether they render the pilot
liable.. His Honour then intimated that, as he should have
to deliver judgment in another collision case recently heard,
he should decide both on the same day.
The court then rose.

CONSECRATION OF ST. STEPHEN'S CHURCH,
MANCHESTER, YESTERDAY.
' Yesterday, the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Manchester
consecrated the new church of St. Stephen, situated in
Milton-street, Stockport-road, upwards of two miles from
the Manchester Exchange. Notwithstanding the inclemency
of the weather, there was a numerous attendance of clergy
and laity. Amongst the clergy present we noticed, in
addition to the bishop, the Rev. G. H. G. Anson, the Rev.
Hugh Stowell, the Rev. E. Birch, the Rev. Robert Walker,
the Rev. Wm. Doyle (incumbent of the church), the Rev.
Dr. Carpenter, the Rev. William Huntington, &c. ; amongst
the laity, were John Sharp, Esq., Richard Birley, Esq.,
&c., &c.
This church has been raised, partly by a grant from
Queen Anne's Bounty and partly by subscriptions, but
chiefly by the latter, promoted in an eminent measure by the
exertions of the Rev. E. Birch, of St. Saviour's, with whom
Mr. Doyle, the incumbent of the new church, was formerly
curate. The amount of the contract for the building of the
church and parsonage-house adjoining, was somewhat near
6000/. About nine months ago the erection of the building
was commenced, the architect being Mr. E. H. Shellard of
Manchester.
The church, which is in the decorated Gothic style of
architecture, consists of a nave, two transepts, chancel and
vestry, and tower and spire. The length of the structure
from E. to W. is 80 feet 7 inches. The width of the body
of the church from N. to S. is 40 feet. The two transepts
are each 19 feet in length, from N. to S., and 26 feet in
width from E. to W. The height of the roof is 48 feet.
The roof is an open one, with circular ribs. There are
three galleries, one at the west end, and one in each of the
transepts. The sacred edifice is seated for the accommoda-
tion of 1000 persons, and one-third of the sittings are free.
The church is built entirely of Yorkshire stone. The eon-
secrationservices were celebrated by the Right Rev, the
Bishop of Manchester, assisted by the Rev. W. Doyle, and
the Rev. G. H. G. Anson. The sermon was preached by
I the Rev. E. 3irch, who chose for his text, John iii, 16. At
the close of the sermon a collection was made.
