LAW INTELLIGENCE.
ARCHES' COURT, Nov. 11.
(Before Sir H. J. FusT.)
THE OFFICE OF THE JUDGE PROMOTED BY PARNELL V.
CRAIG, CLERK.
The Learned JUDGE gave his decision in this case
to-day, the arguments in which were heard during
previous terms, when the facts, as far as they could
be given, were at the time published. It is a course
of offices promoted by Mr. G. R. Farnell, as repre-
sentative of the Bishop of Winchester, against the
reverend defendant for various alleged improprieties
of conduct as a clergyman, more especially as having
committed fornication, &c., with divers female mem-
bers of his parish. There were other charges also of
a general character, which were counterpleaded in
some respect, while in others a general negative issue
was pleaded. It appeared that upon the charges
being made bur commissioners were appointed by the
Bishop of Winchester to examine those charges in
the month of April, and they were unanimous. The
rural dean presided, the examination lasted nine days,
four days were engaged in examining witnesses on
one side and five days on the other, when an unani-
mous report, showing a prima facie case, was come
to, and that a further inquiry was necessary. In
reading the report of the commissioners, he (the
Learned Judge) thought there were circumstances in
the case which justified these proceedings. There was
a large mass of evidence to be considered. and that
evidence was very contradictory. It being in the
province of the Bishop of Winchester, he could not
take cognizance of them, the proceedings were there-
fore carried on by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
There was one thing to be considered, that the
reverend defendant, if he had been innocent, would
not have thrown impediments in the way of these
proceedings, but would have done all in his power to
promote the inquiry. Instead of at once receiving
the notice, he locked his doors against all service upon
him, and when it was placed upon the church door, he
tore it down, and placed an offensive letter in its place.
