ARCHES COURT.
(Before Dr. Lushington.)
BURDER V. HEATH-JUDGMENT.

In this case the office of the judge is promoted by Mr.
John Burder, of 27, Parliament• street, secretary to the
Bishop of Winchester, against the Rev. Dunbar Isidore
Heath, M.A., Vicar of Bradray, in the Isle of Wight. The
proceedings were taken under the Act of Queen Elizabeth,
"An Act for the Ministers of the Church to be of Sound
Religion," and the defendant is accused of having printed,
published, dispersed, and set forth a certain book or pam-
phlet, containing a course of sermons, 19 in number, and
by having therein advisedly maintained and affirmed cer-
tain positions or doctrines directly contrary and repugnant
to the doctrines of the United Church of England and Ire-
land as by law established, and especially to the articles of
religion.

After comparing and examining the writings of Mr.
Heath with the Book of Common Prayer, the learned
Doctor said he was most anxious, as far as possible, to make
every allowance for the opinions held by some of the clergy,
but his duty compelled him to pronounce the writings of
Mr. Heath distinctly contrary to the articles of religion and
the Book of Common Prayer, and gave his judgment
accordingly. The learned Doctor then remarked that
under the act a power of retractation was given, and before
he passed sentence he should like to know whether any
time for consideration should be allowed.

Mr. Buller, one of the counsel for Mr. Heath, said he
should take time to consider the course to be pursued.
The further proceedings were adjourned for a fortnight.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.
Before the Lord Chief Baron, and Barons Channell and
Bramwell.)

On the judges taking their seats this morning Mr. Baron
Bramwell called Mr. Mant, a solicitor, before him. He said
the Court had fully considered his case, andlthey had deter.
mined, for the imposition he had committed on one of the
Masters of the Court, he was found guilty of contempt, for
which the Court inflicted a fine of £IOO. And also for the
other malpractices he had commmitted, the Court felt it
to be their duty to suspend him from practice for the space
of three years.

PRESENTATION OF THE LORD HAYOR 20
THE LORD CHANCELLOR.

This morning, according to annual custom, the Lord
Mayor was presented to the Lord Chancellor for the appro-
val of her Majesty. The Lord Mayor (Alderman Cubitt),
accompanied by the Recorder, Aldermen, the Sheriffs, the
Common Sergeant, Mr. Commissioner Kerr, the City
Chamberlain, the Town Clerk, the City Solicitor, the Under-
sheriffs, and other civic authorities, proceeded in state to
the residence of the Right Hon. the Lord Chancellor, Lord
Westbury, and were ushered into the front drawing-room.
The civic authorities having formed a half circle, the Lord
Chancellor, in his state robes, attended by his secretaries,
purse and mace bearers, entered the presence chamber by
the library ; and, after the usual salutation,
The Recorder advanced, and, introducing the Lord
Mayor, said he had the honour to present Mr. Alderman.
Cubitt, whe had been elected by the livery of the City of
London, for the second time, to fill the high office of Lord
Mayor, and it was his duty to inform his lordship that all
the laws, customs, and usages of the City had been ob-
served. Having made some very complimentary observa-
tions on the manner in which the Lord Mayor had fulfilled
the year of office just expiring, he concluded by saying he
had only to add that Alderman Cubitt was held in the
highest esteem by his fellow-citizens, and that he had the
greatest confidence in presenting him to the Lord Chan-
cellor for her Majesty's approval.

The Lord Chancellor said it gave him the highest satis-
faction to have to state that her Majesty highly approved
of the choice made by the citizens of London in investing
so distinguished a person as Alderman Cubitt with the
high office of chief magistrate of the city of London. His
lordship, having dwelt on the honour of the second election
of Alderman Cubitt to the civic chair, then shook hands
with the Lord Mayor, and the civic authorities withdrew.
