JURISDICTION OF THE ECCLF.SIASTICAL
COURT.

(FROM Till NUR%VICII MiIiCURT.)
It if one of those facts attending the progress of society,
that power conferred in the earlier and darker ages remains
where and as it was bestowed, until some strong example
of its pernicious exercise shows the possible effect of such a
misappropriation of authority, and thus works its destruc-
tion. Such, we hope and trust, will be the event of a case
which has recently occurred in Norfolk, and which we are
now about to narrate. It will certainly, we understand, be
brought ander the consideration of the Legislature in the
next Session, as a sufficient ground for the revision of that
part of our code which respects such offences. In this
district, from the benevolent disposition of the amiable pre-
late who presides, from the character of the officers, down
to the very lowest, we have the best assurance such disposi-
tion and such character can give, tbatevery process coining
under the cognisance of the Ecclesiastical Court would be
prosecuted with the most scrupulous integrity and with the
utmost leoity.llsis is so well knovro,tbat it will be acknow-
ledged instantly and spontaneously by all our readers.—
What, then, mast be the nature and principle of those laws
under which an injustice so flagrant, and perpetrated by
such agents as we shall describe, can be committed, and
when men so amiable and so upright as the good Bishop of
our diocess and the officers of his Court can be made the
unwilling instruments of such a legal injury? What evil,
what misery might be brought upon individuals by
such powers. if exercised by men of an opposite
temper and precipitate in their judgments? But to the
facts.
The religious society of Methodists is divided into
certain classes of different denominations, and to each a
class leader is appointed. He solemnly takes upon himself
the care of his class, and engages to admonish any of them
concerning their moral aberrations. A person in a Tillage'
in Norfolk thus situated, beard that the daughter of one of
his class was cohabiting with a married man, the father,
of a large family. The class leader privately urged upon'
his friend the duty of endeavouring to put an end to such
a cimaexion. The man exhorted his daughter to quit a
course so grossly immoral, who, it is presumed, corn.
municated the fact to her seducer. Inflamed by the
representation, he one Sunday awaited, the return of thel
class leader from meeting, and assailed him io the bitterest
langsage. 'l'he daughter of the class leader, a girl of
most excellent character, in service in the neighbourhood,
interposed ia ber father's behalf; the anger, of the ag-1
I gressor was turned against her, and he abused her in terms'
alike indeceut and undeserved. The next morning, this
girl while at work before the door of her master's house,
perceived the woman who was the cause of the previous
dispute; in the road, accompanied by another. An alter-
cation eosued, and it is probable much ill language passed
on both sides. This woman, the accused, shortly after en-
tered the house of a man in the neighbourhood, a relation of
the class leader,whom she supposed to have some share in pro-
moting the admonition she had received, and reviled him in
the presence of his wife and family so violently, that lie was
compelled to tarn her-out, but he positirely denies
having used any abusive language towards ber. Soon
after the daughter of Vie clAss-leader, and the man last
mentioned, were suiumoned to appear before the Ecclesias-
tical Court,•oo a Marge of defamation. All these dream-
.s:ances, occurred in the .middle .of the year 1821. She
attended the court many times at a distance of 12 m les
from het home, for examination. This examination, it
pee," was conducted by her ju,lgeo. The acessers and the
accused were never confronted. Such Is the: pretties
of the court. In this way the was convicted or,d4aination
and ordered to pey 151 Fet-thetie tees• ibe was *tested
about the middle,of 1823, and carried IS Asseich Mask.
for the debt. The aim (tier relation) was coavieted, and
ertlered totay a sumbl23l., Ter whith tirraiss-atreate..l,.
and thrown into prison.
The evi.icnce upon which these persons were coovicted,
