LEGAL NEWS.
E.M> OF THE SrXBCRr CASK.
j The evidence for the prosecution was
j completed Thursday noon, and that aftcr
| noon some of the witnesses for the defense
| were beard, but on Friday morning there
i were rumors of a settlement, and a half
hour after court convened, a paper signed
by all the parties in interest, and in which
the prosecutors agreed to discontinue the
cases, aud the defendants agreed to pay all
costs and give peaceable possession of the
church building to the new trustees, was
handed to the court for its approval, and
when that was secured the costs were tax
ed, and payment arranged for and the
parties went home. This was a surprise to
everybody not acquainted with the rules
and discipline of the if. E. Church, which
required all regular church buildings to be
deeded to the church and puts autocratic
power in the hands of the Bishops as # to
properties and pastors. In this case we
understand that Rev. Pollard asked the
Presiding Elder to excuse him from preach-,
ing at West Snnbury, that the P. E. refer
ed the matter to Bishop Mallalieu and re
ceived orders to vindicate the church rules.
TLat has been done and now it remains to
be seen what will come of it.

Liberal Lectures.
A series of three lectures, commencing
with Friday of this week, will be delivered
in Cosmopolitan Hall by Hon. W. S. Bell,
of Oakland, Cal. The subject for the lirst
evening is "Liberty and Morality," and on
Satur.lay and Sunday evenings he will
speak on '-Evolution of Religious Ideas"
and ''Popular Objections to Free Thought
Stated end Answered."
Mr. P.cll was formerly a Methodist min
ister, lint through a process of mental
evolution came to a disbelief in some of
the doctrines of the Christian religion and
left the pulpit for tho platform where he
could express his views with greater free
dom.
As a lecturer and a thinker Mr. Bell has a
National reputation and he is spoken of
quite highly by the press. Of his recent
lecture in Sandusky, Ohio, tho Erenin//
Journal of that place has this to say:
"Sunday night's lecture at Fisher's Hall,
by Prof. W. S. Hell on "Liberty and
Morality," was fairly attended by an ap
preciative audience. The lecture was argu
nientative and humorous, delivered in good
taste, well illustrated with anecdotes, and
adorned with allusions to the liible and
Sbakespere as the two most marked and
least understood works of this or any age.
The professor is as sincere now as when he
was preaching for the Methodist church,
and affords a very interesting evening's
sitting to his auditors.—Sandusky, 0.,
