ANOTHER KICK TO THE

WESLEYANS.

(From the Watchman.)
CLERGYMEN REFUSING TO INTER THE BODIES
OF CHILDREN WHO HAD BEEN BAPTIZED BY WES.
LEYAN MINIETERS.—A case of this kind recently oc-
curred in a parish in Norfolk. The Curate was re-
quested to bury an infant who had been baptized by a
Wesleyan minister. He refused to perform the usual
service, on the ground that the child had not been duly
baptized. The father applied to the Vicar, who de
dined noticing the circumstance, saying that he should.
not interfere with the Curate. Application was then
made to the Bishop of the Diocese, from whom a very
prompt and satisfactory reply was received. " I have
already," says his Lordship, " expressed my opinion to
the Rev. Mr. on the subject of his refusal to bury
your
.child, namely, that it is against the law of the land,
according to the decision of Sir John Nicholl, in the
case of Kempe v. Wickes." He adds, " I have
taken such measures as are in my power to prevent the
occurrence of a proceeding so much to be deprecated on ,
every account." As we have lately heard of several
similar instances of refusal (produced, we have no doubt,
by the adoption of the Oxford Tract principles), WO
mention the present case, as suggesting the proper wr-y
of proceeding. Let a respectful letter be addfev.,ed,
without loss of time, to the Bishop of
the Di'acese,
stating the circumstances, and soliciting his interference.
We have no doubt but that such a letter would be
effectual ; and, if sent by the first post, a reply may be
received before the usual period of interment, so that
there may be a visible renunciation of the obnoxious
and illegal refusal.
