dominion , 2 dly , the usurpation of conscience , and > 3 dly , as pandering to worldly principles , ambition » fashion , wealth , &c . In his introductory remarks Mr . Tate made a touching allusion to the late Rev . George Walker , whom he had heard , for the first and only time , address a large ' audience on the subject of nonconformity - in the place where he himself then stood .
After dinner Mr . Darbishire was invited to the Chair , in the unavoidable absence of Mr . Sanderson . Mr . Ragland was appointed supporter to Mr ; Probert at the next meeting , which was ordered to be held at Chorley , on the last Thursday in April .
