The Inter Ocean says: Justice Bradley,
of the United States Supreme Court, has
been studying the often discussed ques-
ton of the exact date of the crucifxiOn
EOf Christ, and has demonstrated that it
was the 18th of April, A. d. 30. In addi-
ton to the historical data that could be
obtained, Judge Bradley has made a
series of astronomical calculations,
which he believes demonstrates the ac-
curacy of his conclusions. The basis of
his calculations is that it occurred dur
ing the administration of P0ntius PLATE,
in the fifteenth year of the reign of
Tiberius, on the 18th day of the Jewish
month Nissan (Or Abib) and on Friday,
and he argues shat there were only
three years from A. d. q to A. ID, So in
elusive, in which the LIST Of Nissan, and
consequently the 18th Of Nissan, happen
cd on Friday, and these were A. ID. 81, 80
and 33, the last of which is very doubt
full. But the crucifxion could not have
happened before A. ID. %, and probably
not later than A, ID, 81. Therefore, the
year 30 Is the only one which satisfies
all the conditions of the problem. It
does satisfy them, because it gives oppOr-
tunity for Jesus to teach publicly for
about three years, and to attend three
PassOvers during his ministry, or four,
according as he commenced before or
after April 3, A. ID. 81. Now, since in A.
d. 30 the 1st Of Nissan fell on Friday, the
oath of March, the 18th fell on Friday, the
9TH Of April, which was the day of the
crucifixi0n."
