Mr. GEORGE O'MALLEY IRWIN V. SIR GEORGE
GREY.—Mr. O'Malley Irwin has presented a
petition to the House of Lords, praying for a rehearing of
this apparently iuterminablo case before a jury ! The
petition, which enters very fully into the legal authorities
in the matter, has been referred to the Appeal Committee.
THE NATAL QUESTION.—'The Bishop of Capetown
has addressed a long letter to the Bishop of St. David's in
reply to cortain passages of that right reverend prelate's
charge, in which ho had spoken very severely of Bishop
Gray's conduct. The Bishop _# Capetown, in reply to the
first accusation of his having exercised " an usurped juris-
diction," asks why the Bishop of St. David's did not raise
his warning voice in 1863, " when the Bishop of London,
apparently with the concurrence of the whole episcopate,
urged inn to pledge myself to try Dr. Colenso, and I held
back from committing myself, I made notes of all that took
place on those occasions for my future guidance. You
spoke frequently, but you did not, nor did any other
bishop, utter a word of caution or warning on the sub-
ject of jurisdiction, when I was pressed but declined to
say that I would try my suffragan on the ground that I
could not be judge and accuser too. All concurred in
thinking, so far as I could learn, that action ought to be
taken, and taken in the exact way that was adopted."
If it is alleged that the Long judgment was not then de-
livered, and should have been a warning, the Bishop in
defence says that he took eminent counsel's opinion, who
thought that judgment smoothed the way for the trial.
In reply to the second objection that " the conduct of the
trial was in violation of Eaglish law and justice," the
Bishop says many other eminent Churchmen thought
otherwise, while the colonial press testified to the impar-
tiality of the proceeding. With regard to the third accu-
sation, as to compelling the accused to acknowledge his
jurisdiction, Bishop Gray quotes Lord Itomilly's judgment,
that bishops still have "effective jurisdiction," and the
recognition by the Privy Council of "Bishop Colonso's
trial," as in his favour, and adds :—" I hold that I should
have failed in my 41uty to the Church if I had declined
to try him only because he protested." To the charge
that Bishop Colenso was condemned in his absence, awl
had no reply, the Bishop points out the very different
position in which a bishop with power to enforce atten-
dance is placed, and one (like himself) unable to do so;
but adds that Bishop Colenso sent a long letter that the
court had all his works before him, and that an appeal was
allowed. Hislordship concludes by saying, that wherever
there was a doubt he gave Bishop Colenso the benefit of it,
and expressing his satisfaction that the great body of his
countrymen have regarded his conduct in a very different
light from that in which it is viewed by Bishop Thirlwall.
