      The Trustees of the Manchester New College feel themselves called upon to notice a paragraph in the Memoir of the Life of the late Rev George Walker , in which , after mentioning his acceptance of the office of Theological Professor , in that institution , it is asserted , that " the

      salary that was promised him there , as Theological Professor , was not more than he was receiving as minister - at Nottingham , and even this , from an insufficiency in the funds of the College , he never received . "

      The latter part of this declaration having excited both surprise and regret in the minds of the Trustees , they deemed it necessary to inquire from his son , Mr George Walker , the author » f the Memoir , - on what grounds he had advanced the assertion . His reply not

George Walker annually received from them , a sum fully equal to the salary originally promised to him , on his acceptance of the office of Theological Professor , and that they faithfully and punctually fulfilled every engagement entered into with him .
