Court and the Government to "rder his
immediate discharge. Queer notions "t

new subjects of newspaper controversy
had sprung up, and were in the full tide
of discussion; these we're the action OF

Times which seems 10 threaten very
serious consequences. not only to the
University hut the Anglican Church itself.
