also Mr.. McLanahan. The latter did
not believe that the synod could modify
or alter the complaint, but could ex-
punge it.
Mr. Keigwin read from the minutes
of the general assembly that the subject
matter of a complaint could be placed
on the minutes.
Mr. McLanahan offered resolution
disclaiming any intention on the part OF
the synod to reflect on Mr.. Squire.
Mr.. Malone expressed the opinion that
the matter would go before the general
assembly, and therefore the synod would
need all the papers. Hence it would not
do to expunge anything.
Dir. Nallandigham, who had signed
the report, said that he had no thought
of rejecting ofKMr. Squire.
Hon. Charles Lyman did not think
that the synod could alter its minutes.
Mr.. Squire claimed that the synod,
which admitted that he had been
wronged, could change its record and
correct mistake.
Elder Blake of Elkton thought that
the matter could and should be ex-
plunged.
After further discussion and numerous
suggestions, Dr. Morrison moved that
the stated clerk be directed to expunge
the Objectionable report from the min
utes. The moderator put the question,
and chorus of ayes and another OF
noes made it necessary for division.
The motion prevailed by a vote OF 4S to
81. The Rev. j. S. Malone at once gave
notice of complaint and appeal to the
General Assembly.
Later in the session motion pre-
vailed to ask permission of the general
assembly to expunge the part of the
record Objectionable to Mr.. Squire.
The special committee on the minutes
of the general assembly reported calling
the attention to matters of interest to
the synod on pages 105, 81, 78, As and
Others of the report.
The recommendation that the synod
appoint a standing committee on re-
ligious instruction in the army was
adopted.
