STRANGE SCENE EC A CHURCH.

The ScotcliTresbyterian Church at St. Helier's, Jersey,
was the scene of a strange occurrence on Thursday,
arising from the following circumstances. Above twelve
months ago the management of the church was trans-
ferred from the Scotch to the English Presbytery. Since
that period no regular minister has been appointed, and
the services have been conducted by " supplies" sent by
the English Presbytery. Some of the supplies were can-
didates for the office of pastor, and the members of the
congregation were divided in their choice of two of them.
Neither party would yield to the wish of the other in this
matter of choice, and at last another candidate, the Rev.
J. J. Muir, succeeded in obtaining a " call," numerousl.
signed by the members and congregation, and the call
having been accepted by him, Thursday was appointed as
the day for his induction. The minority resolved, if possible,
to prevent the ceremony from being performed, and with
this intent fastened the gates of the church with padlocks
Being better advised, however, they removed the locks,
and allowed the church to be opened. The c itgation
was very numerous, the church being filled. l sermon
was preached by the Rev. Robert Taylor, of Comlernell,
and the ceremony of induction was performed by the
Rev. George Carlisle, moderator of the London Presby-
tery. At the conclusion of the induction a strange scene
was enacted, such as the walls of a church never before
witnessed. Mr. Clark, one of the trustees of the church,
and who is also one of the minority who are opposed to
the appointment of Mr. Muir, left his seat, and, entering
one of the aisles and kneeling down, in the hearing
and sight of the congregation, raised what is known
in Jersey judicature as the Clameur de Haro. This is a
form which dates as far back as the time of Rollo, a
Norman leader, who occupied a portion of Normandy about
836. It is used on occasions of encroachment or invasion
of property of any kind, and requires instant cessation on
the part of the aggressor, under penalty of a heavy fine.
The aggrieved party, kneeling, cries out, as did Mr. Clark
on this occasion, "Haro, Haro, a mon aide, mon prince/
On m'a fait tort!" Those who were unaware of the nature
of the clamour were in a state of the greatest surprise and
astonishment. The proceedings, however, were not
stayed, and Mr. Clark, and his friends left the church,
with the intention, it was said, of at once instituting the
usual legal proceedings which follow the raising of the
clamour.
