Correspondence ; on a Charge of Heresy against Sir Rose Price , Bart . ( Continued from p . 92 . ) [ From the Royal Cornwall Gazette of Jan . 31 , 1824 . ] " To Sir Rose Price , Bart . " Trereife , January 26 , 1824 .
"Sir , " T HAVE read the answer which JL you reduced me to the necessity of extorting" from you by a public appeal ; and upon the most careful perusal , I do not find in it the denial
of a single assertion , or an explicit answer to a single question contained in niy letter . I have called in the aid of Mends , and they cannot help me in the discovery . With a perfectly satisfied mind , therefore , I might close ? the case : but yonr defence in some
parts , and in its general tenor , assumes the form of an accusation , and to this I must reply . The mode which I shall adopt will be very different from yours : I will reply seriatim to every particular . The net which you
have spread is so long and so entangled , that I dread the tediousness , not the difficulty , of the task . How ought I then to fear for the patience of those , who have little interest in the issue !—
-" And first , let me begin with supplying an omission , an important link , which is wanting in the chain of the correspondence , whether from negligence or contrivance Heave the reader
to judge . Your letter to the Rev . Mr . Townsend , dated Jan . 21 , 1824 , begins thus : * Sir Rose Price has the honour of forwarding to Mr . Townsend his remain s / &c . Remarks on

" At a meeting : of the Cdmmittee of the Society for Promoting CHrFs ^ lari Knowledge , held at the Hotel , Penzance , January 13 th , 1824 , Bit Rose Price ' s letjter and the Resolutions ot the last tiieeting having been rqad i Resolved that Si * Rose Price liasMistaken the grounds on which ^ e mem
bers acted in passing them , their proceedings having been founded solely and entirely on a comfnunic ^ tion of the sentiments expressed by Sir Rose Price to Mr . Le Orice and Xb 3 VIr-Townsend at Treng wain ton , on the 26 th of December last .
<* * That with respect to the correspondence alluded to by Sir R . Price , it is our opinion that Mh Le Giice would have been quite correct \ n shewing it to any individual upon communicating the circumstance to Sir R .
P ., ( as appears by his , Sir R . P . * s , own tetter , ) but that four onl y of the members then present , and those clergymen , having been made acquainted witTi it , there is not the slightest ground for charging * Mr . Le Grice with a breach of confidence . " * Resolved , therefore , that throughout the whole of this p ainful busine 3 s , our secretary ( Mr . Le Grice ) has been actuated BY THE MOST HONOURABLE AND CONSCIENTIOUS MOTIVEJS , AND THAT HE IS JUJSTLY ENTITLED TO OUR BEST THANKS AND
