ibbi-thl be thtttie of *rood; though nothing was
the precise kind Of sided tip whitth it should be con-
structed. Te church% ardens were to Lake olafe to have
such a table fur the administration of the sacrament. It
was, in fact, placed beyond all doubt that in tiie time of
Queen Elizabeth the Wale was to be made of wood, and
not of stone. The present canons wire, it was w. f 1
known; issued in e:e reign of Jaws the First. The
title of the 8211 can. n was, " A Di cant Communion
Table in itery e hureh;" It said, "Whereas, we have
no doubt that in all tile churches within the realm
of England convenient and decent tables are put for the
:elebration of the Holy Communion, we appoint that
the same tables shall be from time to time kept in re-
pair in a sufficient end seemly manner.° The altar was
to stand in a particilat place, eeeept when the sacrament
wee administer. d, at which time it was to be placed, se
as to he convenient for hearing and communicating.
precieely carrying out what had been dune by the
limner canotihi. The word " table" being used in the
ti De of James, could there be any possible reason for
supposing that it was not to, be of the same description
as in the t me of Edward and Elizabeth, natnrly, con-
structed of wood, and moveable ? Inde d that it should
be moVtahle was implied, in its position being altered
for the more convenient administration of the sacra-
ment ; from this it was evident that it could not be
a fixed structure. It was well known that both
in the time of Elizabeth and of James alte-
rations took place in the Prayer-book; but there
were none referring to this particular question. lie ft
came to the reign of Charles the First, in which opinions
on the subject of the Communion proceeded to great
lengths, and issued in very lamentable consequences. The
contest between the High and the Low Church party then
raged to an almost unlimited extent. The Learned Judge
then referred at considerable length to Lord Clarendon's
history, in order to show the position of the question at
this period. It was stated that many persons bad suf-
fered a degree of negligence in churches which they
would not have tolerated in their own houses. Arch-
bishop Laud determined to alter this state of things ;
and in doing so, he excited a feeling against
the Church of which its enemies took advan-
tage. Archbishop Laud represented the high
party, and Archbishop Abbott the low. The latter
acknowledged the necessity of keeping the churches in
proper repair; but the former had much higher notions
of the solemnity of church services, and of the impor-
tance of her ceremonies ; his designs were no doubt
meritorious. In order to illustrate the
of the dispute at this period, the Learned
Judge referred at length to a pamphlet bearing
the name of a bishop of that day, the Bishop
of Lincoln, and in which the bishop advocated the table
in preference to the altar. In the year 1637 precisely
the same state of things existed as in the reigns of
Edward and Elizabeth. The altars were of wood. Not
a single instance had been mentioned in which stone
tables had been used by authority for the Com-
munion service, though there were churches in
which stone tables were used. The whole of the
evidence, as regarded authority, went to show that
the thing was to be entirely changed, both in form
and in substance. An altar, properly so called, could
not exist, nor could any sacrifice be offered upon it. The
next question to be considered -was whether any altera-
tion had since been made. Did the rubric of
1662 introduce any variation ? The Learned Judge
then referred to the rubrics. There, he said,
it was directed that a table, having a fair white
cloth, should stand in the church, in the chancel where
morning and evening prayer was appointed to be said.
It might be contended, indeed, that an altar was a table ;
but the question was, whether it was so in the com-
mon acceptation of the word ; and, unless some
reason could be givea why a different interpreta-
tion should be put upon the word from that
which it ordinarily received, he should hold
that a stone table was not what was intended by the
rubrics. Upon the words of the rubrics, founded on the
orders issued in the reigns of Edward and Elizabeth, he
had no doubt whatever that by a table was me-ant what
was commonly called a tabl and not a structure
like
that in dispute, and on this part of the case, therefore, he
had no hesitation in expressing his opinion in favour of the
,appellant, reversing the sentence pronounced by the
Chancellor of the diocese of Ely. The Learned Judge
then proceeded to speak of the credence table. It was his
conscientious conviction that when altars were abolished
it was never intended to continue the use of an article like
the credence table. He could not see in what respect it
differed from an altar at which a Roman Catholic might
worship, except in the not having been consecrated; but
:or that circumstance it might be used by a Roman Ca-
tholic in celebrating the services of his religion. On
this point, therefore, as well as the other,
he must reverse the decision of the Chancellor of Ely.
The Court would direct the faculty to be issued in the
precise form in which it had been drawn up, only PX•
eluding the words referring to the altar and the cre-
dence table. On the subject of costs, as the Chancellor
-nust be supposed to know the law, and as the appellant
had been forced to come there for the purpose of having
the decision reversed, and had succeeded in his appeal,
the respondents must bear the costs incurred by that
appeal.
The Learned Judge commenced the delivery of his
'ement at ten o'clock, and did not conclude until three.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Yesterday a summons of vast importance to the chim-
ney-sweeping world was heard against Robert Towzet,
of Adam's-mews, for having " wilfully and knowingly
permitted and caused one Jim Graham to climb a
chimney, at the residence of Earl Grey, in Berkeley-
square, against the statute made and provided, whereby
a penalty of 1001, or not less than 51., had bee;i incurred."
The office of judge was in this instance promoted by
Davis, of Hart-street, an ex-chimney-climber, who pro-
posed to be actuated in what he was about by the purest
public motives, and because, as he said in the avenue of
the court, " As Bob Towzer warnt no regular sweep,
and never know'd vot the hinside of a flue vos made on ; cos
as how he vos only Colonel Beaumont's butler once ;
and cos he disgraced the perfession by going out in vite
kid gloves to visit at noblemen and gentlemen's arternoon
swarrys."
Having entered the witness- box, Davis began—On
Vensday, the Bth of Jennyverry, I seed Jim Graham a
coming down Brook-street, vith his bag. Hullo Jimmy,
sis I, you've been a climbing agin. Spose I has, says he,
vot can you make on it ? Vy, sis I, it's agin the hact,
and it's that their stunning Bob Towzer vots been a wio
lating on it, just as he's done often afore.
The chief clerk here interposed, and said that Gra-
ham's evidence could only be received.
James Graham, a stunted lad of 15, came forward.
Mr. HARDWICK—WeII, what do you know about this?
Boy—Mister Towzer sent me to climb Earl Grey's china-
bly, in Barkly-skavre.
Mr. HARDWICK—Did he pay you anything ? Boy—
He agreed to pay me sixpence a chimbly, and I vent up
six on 'em that morning ; but he only offered me two
shillings, coesekvently he vanted to rank me out of a
bob, and I'd a jest right to split on him.
The defendant stoutly denies allknowledge of the boy.
He had heard that his journeyman had got the boy to
assist him with the machine, and had paid him for his
labour out of his own pocket.
The boy as stoutly affirmed that he had been engaged
by the defendant in person—that he had done nothing
but climb—that he had n paid by the defendant, and
that whenever he was wanted the defendant us-al to send
for him to sleep the overnight at his place.
To rebut this the defendant called his journeyman, who
swore that "all as hever Jim Graham did ens to stand on
the grate and vork the handle of the toot about, arter it
vos shoved up the flue."
Mr. HARDWICK—WeII, boy, what do you say to that?
Boy—Say, vy as he knows as the machine vos all gam-
mon. I climbed slap up to the top, and the housekeepers
knows it.
The " public prosecutor" here poked forward his
smutty face, and with the good natured purpose of giving
old Towzer another " log up," handed in a paper.
" There, your vership," said he, " there's a list of the
chimblys vot this here boy's been up. There's the
Harchbishop of York's, Ginneral Meade's, the Duke of
Hamilton's, and a precious lot more of sitch."
This piece of evidence appeared to take the defendant
rather aback. He, however, persisted in saying that
the boy had only been employed by the journeyman,
without his knowledge. He admitted, however, that he
'had recently been summoned to Marylebone Police-
court, but there the case was dismissed, on account of
insufficient evidence.
Mr. HARDWICK sent to inquire of Lord Grey's house-
keeper, whether the boy had been up the chimney.
The reply was, that the housekeeper could give no in-
formation on the subject.
The boy's father proved that the defendant had paid
the boy two shillings, and had come for him in person
to engage him to do some chimney work.
Mr. HARDWICK was of opinion that a case of climb-
ing had been sufficiently established. The boy could
have no motive in swearing to so many specific acts,
while the defendant was interested in steering clear of
the penalty which the law affixed to climbing. It ap-
peared to him that the defendant had attempted to evade
the law by making it appear that the boy had been em-
ployed by the journeyman, but as this was evidently a
mere subterfuge, he should inflict the mitigated fine of
0
51. and costs.
