When the case of Rev. DIR. Rogers against
Rev. Dr. Hlrst was first taken mp by the
court of inquiry now in session it was
generally presumed that the accuser had at
least plausible grounds upon which to base
the Infamous charges which be had
brought against his brother clergyman.

though coming, as it was presumed, from
reputable sources the accusations were
considered as having some weight. The
prevailing sentiment leaned somewhat on
