 consequence, for it is felt that opportunity should 

 have been gix'en for the man most affected to have 

 defended himself. The right and proper thing as 

 between man and man for the Archbi.shop to li,i\e 

 (I<me, would, in our <)i)inion, Ikhc been for him to 

 have refused a settl<-mi-nt, .so thai if the Arch- 

 deacon had chosen to do so, he could h.iv<- il<-fcii(lci!

I'ut .Archdeacon .Nash has not only 

 Nothlni; lost nothing, but has gained much. 



Lost. Who, (in riMiling the unsupported
