Trial of Rev. DR.. Huston.

The manner of procedure in case like that
of Dr. Huston, says the Warrenton Indes, is
as follows -
The presiding Elder appoints three ministers
in full orders to enquire into the charges. If
these find true bill against the accused. his
license to preach is taken from him, and he is
summoned before the next Annual Conference
of his church for trial. When the Secretary Of
the Conference calls the roll of that body and
reaches the name Of q party under charges On
an Elders Circuit, the Elder rises and states
in general manner the charges The prea-
ding Bishop thereupon appoints twelve peers
Of the accused from the body of the Conference
to sit as jury on his case, and also prosecu-
ting Attorney and Secretary. The accused is
allowed counsel from the same body. Persons
and papers are then sent for, and when all is
in readiness, the case is conducted in secret by
these parties-all the. eyidepce. pro and con, be-
ing taken down in writing. When decision is
reached it is reported to the Conference. If an
appeal is taken, the record is made up and held
for submission to a General Conference of the
whole church.
