COUNTY COURTS ADMIRALTY J VMS-
,DICTION BILL.

lion on ,ual, presented to
" Since we made our first report to jesty in re.
19.tion to the vestments worn by the ministers of the
United Church of England and Ireland at the time of
their ministration, we have proceeded to consider the
other parts of the subject pointed out in your Maiestv's
commission as the most pressing.
" The use of lighted candles in celebrating the Holy
Communion when they are not heeded for the purpose of
giving light, and the use of incense in the public services
of the Church, are the matters connected with this part of
the subject to which our attention has been mainly
directed.

" We have taken evidence,' and have availed ourselves
of the information furnished by the arguments in the recent
snits l•ofore Me Court of Arches of 'llf fuctin v. Mackonochie'
aryl Flamank v. Simpson,' both in respect of lights used at
the celebration of the Holy Communion, and also in
respect of the use of incense as part of the public set.
vice of the -Church.

" The use of lighted candles at the celebration of the
holy Communion has been introduced into certain churches
within the last twenty-five years. It is true that there
have been candlesticks, with eandles,.on the Lord's table
during a long period in many cathedrals and collegiate
churches and chapels, and also in the chapels of some
colleges, and of some royal and episcopal residences, but
the instances that have been adduced to prove that candles
have been lighted as accessories to the Holy Communion
are few and lunch contested.

" With regard to parish churches, whatever evidence
there may be as to candlesticks with candles being on the
Lord's table, no sufficient evidence has been adduced
before us to prove that at any time during the last three
centuries lighted candles have been used in any of these
churches as accessories to the celebration of the Holy
Communion until within about the last twenty-five years.
"The use of incense in the public services of the Church
during the present century is very recent, and the instances
of its introduction very rare ; and so far as we have any
evidence before us, it is at variance with the Church's
usage for 300 years.

The County Courts Admiralty Jurisdiction Bill haq
passed through the ordeal of committee. The bill, tt
amended, repeals certain Acts and parts of Acts which
give jurisdiction to justices, in Admiralty cases, and such
as reserve to superior courts the trial of certain causes.
In lieu thereof, power is given to any county court to try
—as to any claim for salvage, any Admiralty cause
in which the value of the property saved does not
exceed one thousand pounds, or in which the
amount claimed does not exceed three hundred pounds,
as to any claim for towage, necessaries, or wages—any
cause in which the amount claimed does not exceed one
hundred and fifty pounds ; as to any claim for damages to
cargo or by collision--any cause in which the amount does
not exceed three hundred pounds ; and any case—no
matter what amount be in question—in which the
parties agree to lay their case before the county court. No
jurisdiction is given in prize cases or such like matters.
Powers are given to the Crown by Orders in
Council, to vary courts and districts. The Court of
Admiralty may transfer a case pending in a minty court
either to itself or to another court. Any person taking
proceedings in the Admiralty Court who might, without
agreement, have taken them in the county court, may not
be entitled to costs. The county court judge may be
assisted by nautical assessors, whom he may summon to
his assistance. Provisions are made for the judge's vaca-
tion, for the appointment, remuneration, attendance, and
removal of assessors, &c. It provides also that an agree-
ment made before the county court trial not to appeal
shall be valid. From the Admiralty Court there is no
appeal except to the Queen in Council.

" Under these circumstances, and in conformity with
the principles which guided us in our first report, we are
of opinion that it is expedient to restrain in the public ser.
vices of the Church all variations from established usage
in respect of lighted candles and of incense.

" With respect, then, to the lights and incense, as well
as vestments, we think that a speedy and inexpensive
remedy should be provided for parishioners aggrieved
by their introduction ; and the remedy which we
r_ commend is the following :—First, that whenso.
ever it shall be found necessary that order be taken
concerning the same, the usage of the Church of Eng.
land and Ireland as above stated to have prevailed for
the last 300 years shall be deemed to be the rule of the,
Church in respect of vestments, lights, and incense ; and,
secondly, that parishioners may make formal application to
the bishop in camera, and the bishop on such application
shall be bound to inquire into the matter of the corn•
plaint ; and if it shall thereby appese that there has been
a variation from established usage by the introduction of
vestments, lights, or incense in the public services of- the
Church, he shall take order forthwith for the discontinuance
of such variation, and be enabled to enforce the same sum.
marily. We also think that the determination of the
bishop on such application should be subject to appeal to
the archbishop of the province in camera, whose decision
thereon shall be final ; provided always, that if it should
appear to either party that the decision of the bishop or
archbishop is open to question on any legal ground, a case
may be stated by the party dissatisfied, to be certified by
the bishop or archbishop as correct, and then submitted by
the said party for the decision of the court of the arch.
bishop without pleading or evidence, with a right of
appeal to the Privy Council, and with power for the court,
if the statement of the case should appear to be in any way
defective, to refer back such case to the bishop or arch-
bishop for amendment.

" Precautions should be taken against frivolous appli:
cations being brought before the bishop ; and, with this
view, we further recommend that the application should
be made either by one or more of the church or chapel
wardens, or by at least five resident parishioners, who
shall be householders and declare themselves to be mem.
bers of the Church of England, in places where the pope.
lotion exceeds 1,000, and by at least three such persons
where the population is less than that number.

In making this recommendation our intention is simply
to provide for parishioners aggrieved by the introduction of
variations from established usage in respect of vestments,
lights, and incense, a special facility fdr restraining such
variations without it.teifer:ng in other respects with the
general law of the Church as to ornaments or the ordinary
remedies now in force.

" In submitting these recommendations to your Majesty
we desire to state that we are anxious in no degree to abridge
or curtail any of the rightful liberties heretofore enjoyed by
the clergy and laity of the Church of England. The national
Church may well include men of varying shades of opinion so
long as they can combine in a conscientious acceptance of her
recognised formularies and appointed rites. But this large
zomprehension seems to uslo render it most desirable that
in the celebration of the Church's rites there shall be intro.
duced no novel features which are welcome only to some
but are offensive to others. All members of the Church
being expected to join devoutly in one common form and
order of service are, as we conceive, entitled to expect that
no unaccustomed form be used, giving to the service a new
tendency and significance, by which the devotion of many
in impeded.

"We have made some progress in the revision of the
rubrics, orders, and directions contained in the Book of
common Prayer, and our recommendations on this sub.
ject will be presented to your Majesty in our next re.
port. A committee of the commission has been for some
time engaged in preparing materials for the revision of thu
Lectionary."

PRACTICE WITH THE CHASSEPOT.—An accident
occurred two days back at Vincennes during the target
exercise of the soldiers forming part of the camp of St.
Maur. A spectator placed at the line of distance fixed by.,
the authorities as quite beyond the range of the fire was:
struck by a Chassepot bullet, which passed through his
hand and then entered his groin. The new firearms, it
thus appears, have such a force of projection as to exceed
the calculations of the military officers best acquainted,
with the subject.

it the Salford Police-court, a woman nanpd
Wilson has been charged with an assault upon her son,
five years of age. Prisoner resided in a cellar, and had
been in the habit of brutally treating her two children, who
were illegitimate. An examination of the bodies of the
children spewed them to be absolutely covered with
contusions and burn marks. The youngest child, who is
only three years of age, was scarcely able to walk, and the
nose of the elder exhibited a severe bite, the prisoner on ono
occasion having bitten the lad on the nose and forehead.
The prisoner was committed for six months' hard labour.

SHOCKING SIIICIDE.-A cow-boy in the service of.
Miss Burdett Coutts, who resides at Holly Lodge, High.,
gate, lately discovered the body of a man lying in an out
of the way part of the grounds. The police were at once,
comunicated with, and on examination it was seen that,
the man, who had apparently been dead three or four days,
had a fearful gash in his throat, inflicted doubtless by a,
knife that was lying beside him. The body was identified,
as that of Mr. Bickerstaff, a greengrocer, of Gerrard-street,
Soho, who had been missing for five days. The body was
conveyed to the Flask Inn, Highgate, to await an inquest.
