adopted:
The committee recommended the adop-
ton of the following:
First-Tbc synod sustain the appeal, and
reverses the action of the court below.
Second-The synod finds both charges
were proved.
Third-The synod believes the proof of
these charges would, under other circum-
stances, require it to pronounce sentence
OF SUSPENSION from the gospel ministry on
Rev. Dr. Swing; but as Mr.. Swing has not
appeared before the bar of this synod, and
has, in fact, declared himself to be an indie
pendent minister, the synod forbears to
pronounce this sentence, and disposes of
the case by requiring the presbytery of
Chicago to erase his name from the roll.
The synod then adjourned sine die.
