THE REV. MR. HEAD AND THE

BISHOP OF EXETER.

It will be seen by the following correspondence, that
Bishop Philpotts has commenced proceedings against
the Rev. Henry Erskine Head. The truth may be
preached with boldness, but not with impunity. We be-
lieve that Mr. Head will do honour to the great Pro-
testant principle which he has so forcibly maintained.
It was stated in Honiton, on Wednesday, that the Bishop
had declared at Mr. Justice Coleridge's, at Ottery, that
he would strip Mr. Head of his gown :
Palace, Exeter, Sept. 15, 1841.
Rev. Sir—My attention has been called to a printed
paper, purporting to be 44 A View of the Duplicity of
the present System of Episcopal Ministration, in a Letter
addressed to the Parishioners of Feniton, Devon, occa-
sioned by the Bishop of Exeter's Circular on Confirma-
tion, by Henry Erskine Head, A.M., Rector of Feniton,
Devon."

This paper, I am infortned, was published on the 21st
August last, in the Western Tones newspaper, with your
name appended to it.
I think it right to inform you that I deem it necessary
to take proceedings against you as the author of this
paper. With this declaration of my purpose, I now ask
whether you admit yourself to be the author or not.
It may be proper for me to add that I am induced to
take this step, by my having understood that you avow
your readiness to declare yourself the author, and to
submit to legal investigation of the case.
I am, Rev. Sir, your obedient servant,
Rev. H. E. Head. H. EXETER.

Rectory, Feniton,of re
Septeevil4,ing a letter
l 8 l.
My Lord—l have had the honour
from your Lordship, inquiring if I am the'aFt:for of a
letter in the Western 2 imes on " The Duplicity of the
present system of Episcopal Ministration," &c., to which
question I have the honour to reply in the affirmative.
I beg leave also to state that the subject of that letter is
more fully entered into in another letter in the Western
Times of lust Saturday, " To the Spiritual Peers in Par-
liament, on their Abuse of Prelatical Power in requiring
unlawful and contradictory Subscription from Candidates
for Ordination in the Ministry in the National Church"
(or words to that effect—for I have not the document at
hand) of which letter I also acknowledge myself to be
the author—as indeed my own signature appended to the
document sufficiently attests.
I Rho beg leave to have the honour of stating to your
Lordship, with reierence to my having declined, for-
merly, on a similar occasion, to give your Lordship ex-
plicit answers—that this proceeded, not from hesitation
to avow my sentiments, but in order that -I might first
more fully lay before the public (which I have since been
enabled to do) what those sentiments really are, and on
what principles they are founded.
I have the honour to be, my Lord,
Your Lordship's most obedient humble servant,
ERSKNE BEAD. -
To the Right Rev, theIIENRY Lord Bishop oflExeter.
