THE CASE OF REV CowIEY-THE ECCLESIASTICAL
COMMITTEE CONDEMN, But WILL Nor PROSE-
CUTE HIM.
The New York Freninq Post publishes a re.
view of the case of Rev. Edward Cowlev OF
shepherds Fold memory, signed by the ecclesi-
astical comm!tte of inquiry, and dated New
York. June q, 1881, the closing portion Of which
is az follows: I'm these two things the commit
tee unite in condemning the Rev. Edward Cow
ley grieyously cupable in that he failed to sup
ply the child, Lous kulkusky. with the requisite
kind and amount of nutritious food during the
time said child was sick i'm the months of
October, November and December, that is i'm
the year 1879 and i'm that he, the Rev. Edward
Cowley. failed to act with proper promptness
and energy in securing for said child during
those same months the best possible medical
help and skilled nursing within his. the Rev
Edward Conveys. reach But. on carefully re-
viewing and weighing all the evidence at their
command, the committee fail to find sufficient
proof that i'm the direction OF the Shepherds
Fold, or in the treatment of the children or Of
any one child committed to his care
as manager of the Shepherds Fold. he
was inspired and actuated by a motive or pur.
pose properly criminal OF in any way seriously
to injure such children, or any one of them;
and, therefore. under a deep and solemn sense
of responsibility to God. TO the church they in
this case represent, and to society at large
and after very long and laborious and-as they
presume to assert-conscientiously prosecuted
investigation, the committee are compelled to
refrain from presenting the Rev. Edward Cowley
Tor trial in court of the church for crime"
