With other notices of the late ID

fhc story ofone of the insults Of thost
carly days, So long ago now, that many
will perhaps read the accountas some-
ching Of which they had not hear
before, Is the manner in which lii
suspension was effected, by what was
Snown as the Hebdomadal Board
Church Standard.
During these years st. Mary's hac
become the scene Of eager competi
ion and rival demonstrations. Ever,
sunday morning and afternoon thr
University had, as it still has, the us'
i the pulpit, while at four o'clock til
Vicar-thc present Cardinal-entere.
nto possession, and preached to crowd
I'd graduate and der.graduate con
sregations. As he was always at hi
lost, this seemed to leave him am
lis friends the lions share of the Gov
ted rostrum, and all that his anita
sonisrs could do was to establish
close a monopoly ofthe pulpit as the,
could for the morning and afternoon
University services. There aroe a.
sice-chancellor who helped them. The
,,ulpit blazed like an active volcano
with anti-Puseyism, All the authori.
hes to speak, the select preachers
elected. indeed, for the porpose-s
md the unselect the commonality
i Nj. AS coming up to take their
.urns, kept up an incessant fire OF
vituperation. OF course they had
omething to cay, but they were not
he men to stop there. When severai
aod men had been passed over in the
hoice of preachers, as belonging too
ueh TO the new .choel, DIR. Pusey
anne to the resolution TO absent him
elf from the University sermons. He
referred, as anybody might well
ave done. the parish sermons preach
d from the same pulpit BY Newman.
L was strong measure, Tor the laws
i the University required attendance
rom every member ofthe University,
ut a. the same laws required every
ioctor Of divinity to take his place
the procession before the service,
md this rule had long been in abey.
nee, DIR. Pusey could claim the gen
+ raj license Of a negligent age. Per-
APPS the h,a,ls Of houses did MT like
eeing Brptus always conspicuous by
il absence, and looked out for their
revenge. Ifso, they hadit. DR.. Pusey,s
,wn turn for preaching came round.
IN 1S43 he preached before The Uni
ersit1nunxncrmun entitled, The Holy
;sxse1 j C5FlJUIl t5'ihs Psaiteaf,
.upporting bis teaching BY q long
main or "catena" Of authorities of
lie early Church, and also 10 a pub
i he'd appendix by the writings of
anglican diyines. The vice-chancel.
Or, DIR. Symonds, the head Of the
Evangelical school, sent for the SER
non, with an intirnatisn that action
.uuld be taken upon il. No doubt
DR.. Pusey Immediately set . work
-laborating his deiencr, and adding
% his pile If tcstimonies, aftcrwari,
,ublishei, from all ages oflllc Church.
soon, however, he heard thar the vice.
chancellor had revived for the m'ca.
r,iia lDng.iorgotten statute empower
ng him ~ cr, ate tribunal II six
,uctors for the trial uf any persDl
reaching or teaching contrary ~ the
received doctrines Ut the church.
What was more, he was informed that
lie sermon was all they required !;
.ney had IL, and therefore did not
sant the presence ofthe writer. DIR.
pusey demonstrated publicly, official.
y, and through one WHO claimed t.
IL friend on the boarl of six doctors.
The statute had been disinterred from
arbitrary times but, not even IN the
most arbitrary times, had there been
.irnied TO an accused person the right
If making an appearance and saying
what he had to say in his defence.
The termsu Of the statuteimplied trial,
and by English usage public trial.
The six doctors, however, took the
ground that this was q matter Of DIP
ln.stic discipline; they had to preserve
the peace or the University aud the
faith Of the young men. A public
Trial, they said, would be worse than
the sermon itself, aud would spread
the mischief and interrupt all other
studies. For d week, therefore, DIR,
fusey had the pleasure Of knowing
