PRIEST BROWN AND THE
REFORMATION SOCIETY AT BIR-
KENHEAD.

WE have been requested to insert the following letter,
a copy of which has been addressed to the Rev. Mr.
Bnowx, Roman Catholic Priest of Birkenhead, and to
which no reply has as yet been returned :-
18, Claughton•terrace, Claughton-road, Jan. 12, 1854.
REV. SlR,—Circumstances have occurred which compel
me, as a matter of duty, to address you. in your capaety as a
spiritual adviser and director of a portion of the inhabitants
of Birkenhead. I beg to do so respectfully, and in as few
words as the nature ourhose
specialismcircumstace! will admit. In
the fulfilment of my dies as ca
issionary in con-
nexion with the Protestant Reformation Society, I have found
that you have used the most unvvorthy.means in attempting
to entrap and pervert the female children of Protestant
parents. Ido not conceive it honest or Just to present any
member of the Roman Catholic Church to be received
into the Church of which I am a member, w.ithout
first pointing out to them the soul-destroyig doctrines of
your system, and being fully persuaded that they are
genuine corverts, able to point out the fundamental errors
of Romanism, by undeniable proofs, drawn from the word
of God ; thus I am enabled, if you think proper, to offer
you an opportunity of testing the sincerity of those who
have publicly recanted the errors of your church, through
my instrumentality, blessed by Divine agency, and at the
time to prove you guilty of the following charges:—
same First, A youngfemale adult being induced by associations and
acquaintances to attend your chapel, you privately baptized
her, and received her into the communion of your system,
without pointing out one single error in the church in which
she was brought up, and without her knowing either the doc-
trines or creed of the church she was joining. Secondly, You
have in the confessional asked her questions of so indecent
a character that she would be ashamed to utter them to
either her father or mother. Thirdly, You have held out in-
ducement.s, such as the offer of getting her a situation, and
sending tor her to clean the chapel ; both of which, to her
credit,
