the more important posts they might have been satisfied
to have kept up certain forms which they knew did not
in point of fact interfere with the prerogative of the
Crown. It was not essential to inquire into the reasons
why it was retained; if he had satisfied the Court that
upon the continuation of the statute the Arch-
bishop had no right to enter into an inquiry,
an enquiry which could have no effect upon an election
which was binding to all intents and purposes, and the
exercise of which would have the effect of causing a
spiritual cessation of the duties of the see. Tho Crown
was the head of the Church, and as such was the best
judge of the fitness of the ministers for the Church.
Standing there as he did, in the office of Attorney-Ge-
neral, he felt desirous of obtaining the judgment of the
court in favour of the prerogative of the Crown ; buthe still
felt it necessary to take other objections to the course
pursued:by his Learned Friend. His first objection we.,
that the Court possessed no power to issue mandamus in
a case affecting the spiritual courts.
Lord De:sues—The ground upon which the appli-
cation was made, and upon which the rule was granted,
r. as that the confirmation was not complete, and that
the matter was left, incomplete by the Queen's officer,
Led upon hearing the case it occurred to me whethi r
it would be competent for the Court to issue mandamus
to the Archbishop, should he refuse to proceed to the
confirmation.
The ATTORNEY GENERAL said that he apprehended
the Court had net the pun er in that case to issue man •
damus; the statute itself provided a remedy for such a
case, which was prmmunire. The whole of
the objections which might be urged against
the Bishop elect on the ground of his age,
of his bodily infirmities, or any tither ground named in
the canon law, could be dispensed with by a postulate
from the Pope, and the Crown now stood in the place
of the Pope ; and it was clear, therefore, that whatever
the Pope could do the Crown could also do, and if
they considered Dr. Hampden a fit and proper per-
son to appoint as bishop, no person had any
power to interfere in such appointment. The
grounds upon which the opposition rested were not
of a temporal nature, but purely spiritual ; the affidavits
stated erroneous doctrine, and it was not competent for
the Court to interfere in such matters. There was the
Dean and Chapter to attend to every piece of idle tattle
and report which might be taken up by persons who
had not taken the trouble of inquiring into the matter.
Suppose this Court should entertain such a case, the
whole affair would put him in mind of a famous trial
they had all heard of, where one " Faithful " was put
upon his trial, and " Blindman," the foreman, said im-
mediately, " I see plainly this man is a heretic." Then
there was another objection. The Bishop had been con-
firmed—he was now a bishop—as much a bishop as
he could by law be made. What could be
dine ? The Bishop could not revoke it ; he bad acted
according to the letters patent, and the canon law would
not allow of any such revocation. The Court could not
surely interfere in suck a matter. Then, again, where
were the precedents for applying for mandamus in the
case ? He had not been able to find any, sad
his Learned Friend had referred to none. In none
of the cases which could be cited could any one be
found in which the Court had interfered with the
spiritual concerns of any diocese. But the whole ques-
tion before the Court was to be decided upon the prin-
ciples of canon law, which were entirely toreign to the
principles which prevailed in the common law courts.
His Learned Friend was wrong in comparing this .Coart
to a court of magistrates. In the latter there was no
appeal, whereas, in the former, all their acts were
capable of being reviewed by a superior Court.
It was a well-known rule of practice that a mandamus
to a magistrate compelling him to perform any acts
would not shield him from the consequences thereof. ll'
this rule should be made absolute, and the Archbishop
decline to confirm, it would be his painful duty, es

confident that the Court would not act in
He felt fully
such a manner.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL followed on the same side.
He would be quite content to leave the case with such
arguments as had been brought forward by his Learned
Colleague and Friend; but he felt it his duty to address
a few words to the Court upon a most important subject,
and one which involved the highest and most important
interests of this country ; fur he really believed, as
a member of the Church of England, that if
this rule should be made absolute, there
would be an end to the Church of England.
as by law established, and the door would be opened to
every sort of interference with the prerogative of ap-
pointing the bishops, and he believes that henceforth
there would not be an appointment of a single bishop
which would not be subject to some impertinent inquiry
or other, which might be suggested by the restlessness
or peevishness of any men who considered that they had
any grounds of complaint or interest in the question.
lie, for one, was not ashamed of' confessing the diffi-
culty in which they were placed, in consequence of the
statutes of Henry VIII. not having been framed with
truth, soberness, and honesty. He was not ashamed of
stating that such statutes were only a shadow and a sham,
and he thought no harm would result to the interests of
the Church of England if these proceedings should lead
men's minds to consider calmly what was the real utility
of such legislation. The Learned Counsel then pro-
ceeded to refer to the precedent quoted by his Learned
Friend on the other side, of the confirmation of Bishop
Montagu. With respect to the opposition of 1)r. Hyde
to that confirmation, he was very sorry not to be able to
speak in terms of approbation at this distance of time.
lie would rater the Conrt to a letter by Archbishop
Usher, in which he warned the Government not to re-
pose confidence in such a man, for that he would
not fail to turn upon them in the same manlier
as he had upon the other party. The recent oppo-
