ANOTHER PROSECUTION AGAINST PROF. ROE-
EKT5UN SMITH.
The Independent thus summarizes the
basis Of a new prosecution against Prof.
Robertson Smith:
The precise form which the attempt to
bring Prof Smith again to trial for heresy
is Indicated in 4 notice Of motions given by
the Hav. Mr.. Macaulcy, whose views We gave
last week III the Free Prcsbyter!t, OF Etlii-
burg. Ills two motions are printed. The
first invites the attention Of the College CON-
nlittee to some new articles Of I'rof. Smith,

Eyitannic;l,' just issued, particularly to All
article OIL ''Htbrew language AMI Litcra-
turc,'' with view to such action rs is ncces-
sary to maintain the authority Of the Bible
;lld the best interests Of theological teaching
in the Church. Dir. Macau1cy's second mo-
tiun is i'll the nature Of an accusation against
Prot. Smith, made to the Commission of the
Assembly, width is asked to take such
action us may be fitted to yildicate the Con-
fession Of Faith to prevent Prof. Smith
from teaching erroneous and obstructive
views. The complaint is that, in the article
