ORDINATION OF MR. NOBBS. 209 
having been presented by the Rev. Henry Venn, 
Secretary of the Church Missionary Society. 
Several of the clergy of the neighbourhood, and 
about twenty students of the Church Missionary 
College, were present. Mr. Paley, who was a 
very young man, soon after entered upon his 
arduous and interesting Mission at Abbeokuta, 
Western Africa, but was stopped by the hand 
of death, almost at the commencement of his 
missionary career. The other candidate, more 
than twice his age, yet lives on, by God's good 
providence, for the benefit of his little flock in 
the Pacific. 
On the 30th November following, (St. An- 
drew's day,) Mr. Nobbs was ordained Priest 
in Fulham church, by the Bishop of London ; 
his description in the letters of orders being 
" Chaplain of Pitcairn's Island." He was pre- 
sented for priest's orders to the Bishop by the 
author of this work.
