(FROM THE GLOBE.)

SOME months since, the re-election of Mr. Westerton as
Churchwarden having expressed, in the most unqualified
the disapproval of the ereat majority of the parish-

mann(

practices receutli introduced at the above
church, the Bishop of London advised the Hon. and Rev.
R. Liddell, the incumbent, to discontinue, among other
practices, that of intoning or chanting tho,prayers, and to
read them instead. Mr. Liddell determined to follow this
months since, that such

ioners of tl

nd gave notice, some tt

lowing day, two of the curates
resigned

s period St. Paul's has been beset by a
number of persons, principally youths and girls from the
purlieus of St. Barnabas', and members of that and other
Fractarian congregations, who under the leadership
amed Fitzroy (said to be a member
be School, at Durham), have persisted in
(ming the Litany in defiance of the ex-

Messrs. Nugee and Parry

From t

of a youth
of the Collq

pressed wish of the incumbent, the orders and advice of the
bishop, and the rubrics and practices of the church of
England. Their mode of action is as follows: They assemble
before the church doors are open and rush into the church,

occupy the most prominent places of the free seats, which,
from their proximity to the choir, afford them the best
chances of most effectually impeding the latter in the dis-
charge of their duty. When the curate commences reading
the Litany_ which he does in a monotone. and the choir

attempts to respond, these self-styled choralists burst in by
chanting, and thus overwhelm the choir, causing confusion,
dismay, and disorder. To prevent this, Mr. Liddell ordered
the choir, when so interrupted, to discontinue the responses-
and thus the perpetrators of these discreditable acts have
had it all their own way. Not content with this, the fol-
lowing advertisements have appeared in various news-

"St. Paul's, Knightsbridge.—Full Cathedral Service on
Sundays, at 11.—On Wednesday (Feast of St. Luke) the
Litany will be chanted by the choir. Churchmen, assist
those struggling for their rights by your presence.
I have said that the priests read the Litany, and a
miserable effect the reading has, contrasted with the full
body of sound arising from so many voices chanting the
responses in unison. The great majority of the people
from the first took up the chanted response,—long may
they continue to do so, in spite of the deplorable timidity
of the Bishop of London, and the opposition of the purify-
ing committee of Protestant champions.' "
Beyond the order given to the choir, it does not appear
that anything has been done by Mr. Liddell to suppress
these most unseemly interruptions. The churchwardens
felt that they were not called on to interfere, in conse-
quence of Mr. Liddell's objection to their having pre-
viously interfered to abate that which he deprecated.
On Sunday, when the curate commenced reading the
Litany, the choir responded, when the choralists again
interrupted in such a manner as to produce such con-
fusion and discord as to induce a number of persons in the
congregation to leave their places, and retire in disgust
from• the church. The churchwarden now felt he was
bound to interfere. He accordingly left his pew, and
went up to Mr. Fitzroy's, the " hon. sec." of these dis-
turbers, and stated that, unless he discontinued this dis-
graceful interruption, he would have him removed. This
produced no effect, and Mr. Westerton called upon the
beadle to remove him. Having fetched his constable's
staff he proceeded to do so, but Mr. Fitzroy having left
his place, retreated higher up the pew, and placed two of
his friends between himself and the officer, he was allowed
to remain, having promised Mr. Westerton not to inter-
fere again. The service, which had been continued during
this disgracefut interruption, was then carried on to its
close without any further interference by the choralists.
We need scarcely add, that, for the few moments this
scene lasted, the greatest indignation and consternation
were felt by those who had witnessed the conduct of this
organized and intrusive band-of disturbers.

Shortly after the conclusion of the service, Mr. Fitzroy
and two of his youthful companions waited on Mr Wes-
terton, and wrote their names and addresses, which were
as follows :—Richard Bullock, Esq., 50, Wilton-crescent ;
Edward Jackson, the same address; and Ernest Fitzroy,
Esq., 5, Eaton-place South. The latter stated that his
object In calling was to know whether Mr. Westerton was
going to prosecute for brawling in the church, and, on the
latter stating such was his intention, Mr. Fitzroy asked
whether he was also going to proceed against Mr. Bul-
lock ? Mr. Westerton said he had no intention of doing
so, when Mr. Fitzroy replied that, as that was the case,
Mr. Bullock would take out a warrant against the church-
warden for an assault.

On Monday, an application was made to Mr. Arnold, the
magistrate at Westminster Police-court, by Mr. Ernest
Fitzroy, for an assault summons against Mr. Charles
Westerton, the churchwarden.

The complainant said that, about 16 or 17 weeks ago,
certain alterations were made in the service, the Litany
being monotoned instead of intoned. Many of the con-
gregation were much averse to this change, and, despite
the proceedings of the choir, had chanted the rubric, and
Without any molestation until Sunday morning last,
when upon persevering in their usual mode of performing
the service, applicant and several others were assaulted.
Applicant was seized suddenly by Mr. Westerton, who,
laying hold of him by the arm, declared he should leave
the church, and that he would put him out; upon which,
applicant replied that, if he did so, it would be at the peril
of ulterior proceedings. Mr. Westerton then seized ap-
plicant by the collar, and attempted to carry his threat
into execution, but applicant resisted, and several of the
congregation having told Mr. Westerton that he was
transgressing, he relinquished his hold of applicant, bat
not until one of his friends had been dragged out of his
sitting. Mr. Arnold thought the matter rather one for
an ecclesiastical than a police-court. With respect to
the powers of a churchwarden to preserve order, that the
enactment of the bth and 6th of Edward VI., which still
remained in force, used the words—" If any person shall
smite, or lay any violent hands on another in any church,
or churchyard, he shall be deemed ipso facto exclmmuni-
cated, and be excluded from the fellowship and company
of Christ's religion ; " but churchwardens, or perhaps
private persons who whip boys for playing in the church,
or pull off the hats of those who obstinately refuse to
take them off themselves, or gently lay their hands on
those who disturb the performance of any part of divine
service, and turn them out of the- churehf are not within
the meaning of the statute. He repeated his opinion,
that the matter was one for inquiry before the ecclesiasti-
cal court, but as applicant pressed for an assault summons
he would not refuse the application, and accordingly
granted the summons. On Friday, Mr. Westerton at-
tended in answer to the summons. Mr. Ballantine ap-
peared for Mr. Fitzroy, and Mr. Westerton was represented
by Mr. Parry. Among the witnesses examined was the
Hon. and Rev. R. Liddell, who said he was the incnmbent
of St. Paul's, Knightsbridge. In consequence of .the dif-
ferences which existed in reference to conducting the ser-
vices, the Bishop of London gave him some private advice,
which he took. He considered that Mr. Westerton was
quite justified in preventinc, the interruption of the service
last Sunday. Mr. Arnoldthen proceeded to adjudicate
upon the case. He said that, although it was not his
intention to go into the general question of chanting, he
was compelled to say that the chanting on last Sunday
did produce discord, and tended to interrupt the service.
It was, under those circumstances, the duty of the church-
warden to interfere ; and if the party offending would not
desist, then it was the duty of the churchwarden to eject
him from the church. He would not decide upon the lega-
lity of the course Mr. Fitzroy adopted in chanting ; but
this he was prepared to decide, that it appeared to him
that the churchwarden acted according to what he consi-
dered the conscientious discharge of his duty, and that his
conduct, criminally or penally, did not call for punishment
in that tribunal. He should, therefore, dismiss the
summons.

PILLAR LarrEu-soxEs.--The Postmaster-General has
given notice to the various paving boards, that by their
leave he intends to place pillar letter-boxes along the
leading thoroughfares of the metropolis, at intervals of half
a mile or so. The streets selected for the first experiment
are Ludgate-hill, Fleet-street, the Strand, and Piccadilly.

CHAR-GE 01' MURDER AGAINST A SCOTCH " LAIRD."—
Mr. William Davidson, of Kebbaty, has been committed
to Aberdeen gaol on the charge of having murdered his
housekeeper, Catherine Davidson. The prisoner is a
person who, at one time at least, was entitled to the cha-
racter of a gentleman, but for some time past he has fol-
lowed a course of reckless dissipation. It appears that on
Friday night week he had a small party of young people
assembled at his residence, Tillyfro Cottage, Cluny (about
17 miles to the north-west of Aberdeen). Drink was in-
dulged in to a considerable extent, and when the company
broke up, shortly after twelve o'clock, the host and his
housekeeper (with whom he lived alone) were both intoxi-
cated. About half-past five on Saturday morning, Mr.
Davidson entered in a state next to nudity a neighbouring
house, crying that he had found his housekeeper lying
dead or dying beside him. Alarmed, the people without
delay proceeded to Tillyfro Cottage, and found that the
statement was true, the woman having evidently bled to
death from two large wounds on the top of her brow. Mr.
Davidson said he could in no way account for the circum-
stance ; he could not even say how or when he got to bed ;
all he knew was, that on awaking in the morning he found
his servant lying beside him cold, with her head on his
arm, and with all her clothes on. The wounds are sup-
posed to have been caused by a pair of scissors, which were
found in the room near the body covered with blood.
Several parts of the accused's shirt were also marked with
blood, but how it came there he says he cannot tell. He
was taken to Aberdeen on Sunday night, and committed
to prison on Monday. Mr. Davidson is said to be a tall,
handsome man, aged 44, a widower, and has a family who
resided apart from him. A considerable time ago he was,
for a short period, an inmate of the Aberdeen Lunatic
Asylum. His estate of Kebbaty is worth from £1,200 to
£1,500 yearly, but from his habits it has been long under
trustees. When in drink he was very violent, but in his
sober moments kind and good-hearted. The deceased was
a person of middle age, and had been in Mr. Davidson's
servire for several years.
