BISHOP TALBOT ASKS TRIAL.
WISHES THAT FULL HEARING BE GIVEN
TO CHARGES OF DR. IRVINE.

Bethlehem. Penn. July 22-Late tonight
copy of letter to DR.. T. Nj. Clark, Presiding
Bishop of the Episcopal Church. was made pub
lie by Bishop Ethelbert Talbot of the Central
Pennsylvania Diocese. who asks for a new court
of inquiry and expresses over his signature the
reasons. The letter in part says
1t my painful duty to depose from the
ministry DR.. /. n. w. Irvine. From the time
when I pronounced sentence upon him until now
DIR. Irvine has used every means to assai my
official and personal reputation under the pre-
text of seeking redress for what he calls an I'M
just deposition. A few months since to my
great relief, DIR. Irvine, through some friends
of his, prepared formal charges, and board
of inquiry was raised, as the canons direct to
decide whether there were sufficient grounds
upon which to to be tried by court
of my peers, the bishops of the Church, upon
any or all of the charges presented to the board.
Only one vote was taken on all the twelve
charges simultaneously, with the result that
all charges against were dismissed by the
equivocal majority of to 4. The vote is right
ly called equivocaL
1t is idle to protest against this superfiuous
injustice. The object of this letter is to de-
mand a remedy, which 1 take leave to think
cannot be denied under the canons of the
Church. During all the assaults which have
been made upon me since DR.. Irvine's deposit
ton l have kept silence The finding of the
board has left things worse than they
Therefore, in the exercise of my canOnical
right, and having thereto the written consent
and advice of the Bishop of Albany and the
Bishop of New-Jersey, l request you to convene
a board of inquiry to investigate such rumors.
reports and charges. as directed in the same
canon.
My express desire in requesting a new board
of inquiry is that the charges presented TO the
late board by the friends of DIR. Irvine shall be
open to investigate as fully as IL the late board
had never met: and that any evidence. new or
old, which he they may have to offer shall
be fully and fairly heard.
