Bishop Colenso v. the Chancellor of the
Exchequer and others,

Dr, Colenso, Bishop of Natal, has filed in Chan-
cery a bill ot complaint against the Chancellor of
the Exchequer, Vice-Chancellor Sir W. P. Wood,
I the Archdeacon of London, Mr. Hubbard, M.P., the
Archbishop of Canterbury, the Archbishop of York,
and the Attorney-General, in consequence of his
salary, which is paid out of the Colonial Bishoprics'
Fund, being withheld. It sets forth that in the
year 1841 the then Archbishop of Canterbury (Dr.
Howley) called a meeting of the clergy and laity at
Willis's Rooms, when it was resolved to make more
adequate provision for spreading the principles of
the Church of England in the colonies and depen-
dencies of the British Crown, the resolutions being
signed by all the Bishops of the United Church of
England and Ireland, who were appointed a com-
mittee ; Mr. Gladstone, 'Vice-Chancellor Wood the
,
Archdeacon of London, and Mr.
Hubbard being appointed treasurers. When the Bishopric of Natal
wits founded the council of the Colonial Bishoprics'
Fund agreed with her Majesty's Government to ap-
propriate for ever out of the proceeds of the fund to
the use of the Bishop of Natal the sum of £662105.
per annum. This annual income was duly paid to
the plaintiff after his consecration by the treasurers
down to and including the half-yearly payment due
on the sth of April, 1864, but has not since been
paid, and in the month of July, 1864, the plaintiff
received a notice from the clerk of the treasurers, in
which it was stated that they had directed the salary
hitherto allowed for the Bishopric of Natal to be
reserved and carried to a separate account, adding
thefollowing reason for so doing :—" The council
having received a caution against continuing to pay
the salary hitherto allowed for the Bishopric of Natal
from the Bishop of Cape Town, on the ground that
he had deprived the Bishop Colenso of that post, and
Bishop Colenso claiming to receive the same, it was
resolved that, under existing circumstances, the
salarybe reserved and carried to a separate account."
The plaintiff having stated that he makes tb* arch-
bishops defendants, as representing the whole of the
Episcopal bench, and that he is advised that her
Majesty's Attorney-General is a necessary party
in respect of the questions which arise concerning
the irrevocable appropriation of a portion of the
fund to the endowment for all time of the see of
Natal, prays as follows :-1. That it may be de-
clared that out of the said Colonial Bishoprics'
Fund a sufficient part has been irrevocably ap-
propriated to the endowment for all time of the
Bishop of Natal for the time being, and that the said
annual income of £662 102. ought, out of the said
fund, to be duly end regularly paid to the Bishop
of Natal for the time being, and that the same may
be ordered and paid accordingly. 2. That the first
four defendants may, in particular, be declared
trustees for the plaintiff of the two half-yearly pay-
ments reserved and carried to a separate account as
aforesaid, and may be decreed to pay the same to
the plaintiff, -with interest, from the dates on which
they respectively became due as aforesaid. 3. That
the defendants other than the Attorney-General
may be decreed to pay the costs of this suit. 4.
That the plaintiff may have such further or other
relief as the nature of the case may require." An
appearance has been entered on behalf of the de-
fendants, and the case will be argued after the long
vacation.
