The Hon. M^S Aco6kmodaa» Action Was Trie...
THE HON . m ^ S ACO 6 KMODAA » action was tried at the Giiildford Assizes , to recover ^ O uSabSlV exchange drawn by the Hon . ^ uxcxs Lawlev and accepted by Lord Maidstone . At the beiSing oflhe year 1852 , Lord Maidstone became mti-Sate ^ tth the Hon . Mr . Villiera , late M . P . for Rochester , Swhlse request he accepted two bills for lOOOi each . Both were bills ^ accommodation , and ^ ere accepted by Mb lordship solely for tbe convenience of Mr . VUliers , Jhe himself not receiving any of the proceeds whatever ; hut Mr . Villiers gave him a notification to the effect tka £ as they were accommodation bills , he sho » ld he-hejd harmless . These bills were received through the agency ofTperson named Edward Kawson Clark , and from forty to sixty per cent , was paid for interest On every occasion , Mr ? VilUers paid the interest , and handed the old Mils over to Lord Maidstone , by whom they were destroyed . IVIr . Villiers subsequently ^ wto difficultxes , and left the country ; soon after which , I ^> rd Maidstone was visited by Clark ,, who requested his lordship to give him a new btll for one of the 1000 * . acceptances ( the other having been paid ) , which would be due ma few days . Believing this to be one of the . genuine biUs for 1000 / ., which had been accepted for the accommodation of Mr . Villiers , Lord Maidstone acceded to Clark » request and gave him a fresh bill . As Mr VUliers was absent , and as Clark stated that the holder of the bill would not renew it unless it had a second name , the Hon . Mr . Lawley put his name to it as the receiver , at the request of Lord Maidstone . In addition to this new acceptance , his lordship gave Clark a cheque for 1001 ., as interest . This took place early in March , 1855 . Not many days af ter this transaction , Lord Maidstone was astonished to learn that a bill for 1 O 0 OI . had been presented at his house , and that a notice was left stating that it lay due at the offiee of Mr . Stewart , solicitor , New Inn . LordMaidstone went to that gentleman and informed himof what had ; taken place with Clark . Mr . Stewart declared that he knew nothing of the matter , and said that his lordship had better communicate with Clark upon the subject . This'was done , and a bill for 1 O 0 O £ being then shown Lord Maidstone , he examined it minutely , and discovered that the -document was a forgery , ctfae . genuine aeceptance having been already paid ( as Lord Maidstone afterwards learned ) by Mr . Villiers ' s solicitor . Besides the present fraud , Lord Maidstone said that he saw six or seven other bills , wbkh lie was sure were all forgeries , and he believed that'ihere -were no fewer than sixteen or seventeen bills of a similar character in existence . Several accommodation bill transactions had taken place between Lord Maidstone and Mr . Villiers ,. and the former had invariably paid the bills on every occasion . Mr . Jennings , steward of White ' s Club , of which Lwd Maidstone is a member , and Mr . Clutterbuck , cadhier at Messrs . Hoare and Co . ( his Lordship's bankers ) , both corroborated his statement as to the 1000 / . bill in question being a forgery . After this ¦ discovery , An application was made to the plaintiff in the present action ( Mr . George Mather ) to return the bill he had received , and which was expressly given to restore the one that turned out to be a forgery , and also the W 01 . . cheque ; but he refused to do so , and the present action ¦ was ( brought to recover the amount of tho 1000 ? . bill which . had been handed over to Clark , and which , it appeared , had passed-from him to the possession of the plaintiff . The most important facts in the evidence for Mr . mather were that he had repeatedly been in the habit of discounting bills for Clark , whom he had known a great many-yeara ; that one of Lord Maidstone ' s acceptances for 1000 / . had been originally paid into the hands of Mr . Stewart , his solicitor , but that on Clark wishing to renew . it ho again discounted it for him , and received 60 / . for the accommodation ; and that he then sent it , together wiilh the oheque for 100 / . ( which had been paid to Clark by Lord Maidatono ) , to his banker ' s . It was on this bill lihat tho present action was brought . Mather swore positively that the first bill was payable three months after date , nnd would become due in a few days when he discounted it . This , however , was denied by a olerk in the Union Bank of London , where Mr . Mather kept his account , who stated that the only bJll which had been paid into their hands to Mather's credit was one drawn > at ten days' date , which was paiid' -when it became duo . Tho counsel for tho plaintiff contended that his client had given full value for the bill , and that he was entitled to recover tho sum of 1000 / . Tho Chief Baron having summed up , tho jury almost immediately returned a verdict for tho defendant .
Tite Case Of Archdeacon Dkn1son. The Cou...
TITE CASE OF ARCHDEACON DKN 1 SON . The court constituted to try tho charges against Archdeacou Denison , for preaching doctrine contrary to tho Thirty-nine Articlos , roussombled in tho Guildhall of liuth on Tuesday , by adjournment from tho 28 th , ult . Tho Archbishop of Canterbury and other ecclesiastical dignities having taken their seats , Dr . LuHhington said tho Primate hud duHircd him to road the declaration con-, taining his decision . " Tho question , " tho judgo snid , i " which hi « Cjrauo had to try was , whether tho idoctrino ) sot forth and preached by tha Von . Arohdoacon , in thai Bormonu annexed to the . articles filed in this proceeding , i ¦ were or were not directly contrary , u » d arexkugnant to '
< u » y of the Arti « ie 8 of- the Gbarth . « Sfce « a « lHrftor-4 oC Parliament has established that ^ TOirfyv * ine > A * tteles must be taken to be -the true expression of « eriptafe on every subject to which they advert . I-state « us in order that it may be made known-to all why and wherefore die Ven . Archdeacon waanot . peramtMd *« go 4 rto aa « 3 Eftsaiaation « f the Scriptures with a view to jBStiry his doctrines .. The reason was this<—There ^ ouIdT » t be a more inconvenient proceeding , or on * more ^ opposed to the law < dian that , when the Iiegfelatore < -f «» e country has auajoritatively pwwounoed ui ^ tie ^ givea form of ^ e Thirty-nine Articles what « re tfee ^ kxetrraea of the Church of England , « n iadividoal sermon « heuld * e compared—not with that standard which is the only standard of the Church , bat—with a number of disputed texts of Scripture . What might be the possible con-Bequenoe of the adoption x > f such a coarse ? One or more judges might be found who would conceive that certain doctrines were conformable with Scripture ; but should they hold that those doetruaes ( conformable in their opinion with Scripture ) , were not -equally conformable with the Thirty-nine Articles , in what position would they then be placed ? That * nomaly is excluded by the law applicable 4 o this case . It is excluded -from all our courts of - j udicatare . The -only question whieh his Grace has tried or -could try , having regard to the law , is , whether these sermons-do or do not contain doctrines which are direetly opposed and' repugnant to the Articles of the Church of England ? I shall now state the condaisions at which his Grace has arrived . They are these :- —That the 9 th , 10 th , 11 th , 13 th , and 14 th of the articles fiied in this proceeding on behalf of the said fiev ^ Joseph Ditcher are proved , and that the charges therein made are established . " The Archdeacon had contendfidthatthe body and blood of Christ are immaterially -and spiritually present in the consecrated bread and wine , and are received by comaranieaots-whether they be worthy or unworthy ^ whereas the doctrine of the Church of England , as declared in the 25 th , 28 th , 29 th , sa ^ d S 5 t Hi Articles , is , that the b « dy and blood are only ¦ received when -the oomronnicant is worthy , the wicked not receiving U » em at all . ' " His-Graee is aJso ^ opinion that the other doctrines of the Arehdeaeon , with regard to the presence of the body and ; blood of Christ in the Holy Eucharist under the form of bread = « nd wine , iltfcough the bread -and wine are not ehanged in . -their , natural substances , are unsound , and repugnant to the 28 th and 2 : 9 th Articles . " His Grace , " concluded Dr . LasWngton , " desires me further to state that lie will allow time to the Ven . Archdeacon to revoke Ms error until Wednesday , the 1 st of October next ; when , if no such revocation shall be delivered by that time into the Registry of Bath and'Wells , he will pronounce sentence in this court , which -wSll be adjourned to Tuesday , the 21 st day of October next , and be held in this place jit half-past one oksloek .
