BISHOP DoANE's CASE.


Bishop Doane, has at length concluded its
labors by the adoption of the following Or
ders:
Whereas, previous to the making of the
presen,ment now before this Court, the |
Convention of New Jersey had investigated |
most Of the matters contained therein, and
had determined that there was no ground
for presentment therefore,
Ordered, That as 10 the matters thus acted
upon by said Convention, this Court is not
called upon to proceed further.
Whereas, the Diocese of New Jersey
stands pledged 10 investigate any charges
against its Bishop that may be presented from
any responsible source: and whereas, a
Special Convention has been called, shortly
TO meet, in reference TO the new matters
continued in the presentment now before
this Court therefore.
Ordered, That this Court, relying upon
said pledge, do not now proceed TO any fur

Jersey are fully recognized, are understood

GRAFTON the action Of the D ocese.

ders, the Presenting Bishop a,te npted 10 sub.
