Deposition Of oen by the Dishep Of New
Jersey-painful Case.


Our Hons Church intelligence this week
contains the publication Of a document
which Must indccl have wrung the heart
Of him whose signature il hears Sen
tence 81 Deposition from the Ministry, BY
the Bishop OF New Jeesey, Of HE own son,
George Hobart Doane. who was ordained
to the Diaconste only about six months
ago. II is. in all respects, most Distress
ing case. The perversion to Romanism
which has called forth This Sentence APP
pears to have been the work Of but few
hours of impulsiye declension from the path
Of sound ScripturSl and Catholic truth. We
have been made acquainted with all the
circumstances Of the painful occurrence;
aud the only conclusion we can arrive at is,
that il is Z manifestation Of approaching
insanity, an incipent symptom Of mental
disorder Of which the unhappy gentleman
has, il is well known, Materially, the hered-
itary faint. Not only is the act itself
that of u mos bidly-excted mind, but Il has
been committed in manner which stamps
it as one Of mental alteration. II would
be consoiatory could we think, that there
may be no need to parade before an un.
sympathixing world the private details of
SO affective an occurrence. For our part,
however, we shall not unnecessarily draw
aside the veil which is on several accounts
to be desired should protect the privacies Of
so painful case.
The conduct of the Bishop himself, under
so severe an affection, is in all respects
truly ard rarely exemplary. II may indeed
be said, that he has spared not his own son.
And we can have some conception OF the
touching reality of his spirit Of sacrifice,
when he told, as he did, his errng son. in
an agony of parental feeling, when deliver
ing the sentence, which even the trying ties
of nature could not induce him TO withhold,
that she would rather, with that hand have
closed his eyes in death - May the Al
mighty, of His Infinite mercy, grant that
the deeply afflicted fathers prayer may in
deed be heard, shat my erring child nay
be brought back to the way Of truth and
peace, aud that for myself may have grace
to bear and do the holy will of God. :"
The following is the sentence of deposit
ton:
To all, everywhere, i1ho are in communion
,cith the One, Holy, Catholic and Apos-
tolic Church:
Be i, known, that GEORGE HOBART
DoAsE, NJ. d. Deacon, of this diocese, hav-
ing declared to me. in wiring, his renun-
citation Of the Ministry, which he received
at my hands from the Lord Jesus Christ,
and his design not to of1iciate in future in
any of the offices thereof, intending to sub
nit himself to the schsmatlcal Roman in
trusion, is deposed from the Ministry; and
hereby pronounce and declare him 10 be
deposed; In the name Of the Father. and of
the Son, and Of the Holy Ghost Amen.

This provision was not executed until
