day to answer to charges brought
against .rir,s by his tornfe1ftoTs -'=-
When the many witnesses, specta-

upon his honor that he had case OF
mere than usual importance TO dis
pose of. and he proceeded with great
care.

son is at the head of one faction. and
that he is opposed to another power
full faction, both fighting for the con-
troll of ST. peter's Baptist church. TO-
Gated at the end of the Brook Turn
