This tedious and + somewhat extraor-- dinary case wa, we are happy to state, brought to a satisfactory conclusion on Wednesday, 4th inst. Our readers will remember that we have given this mat a large share of our space during its gress and they must be familiar with at least the prominent features of the case as given in these columns up to the close of the Synod's Commission which sat in the Prince Albert Presbyterian Church some time ago, when that Commission 'sustained the Presbytery so far iu baving erased Mr. Windel's name from the roll of the Pres bytery. "It wili also be remembered that Mr. Windel petitioned and his congrega. tion lized the*General Assembly praying tkat Mr. Windel may be restored (0 his status in the church and hat he and bis congregation be disconnected from the Ontario Presbytery and united with the Coburg Presbytery. This is as far as our readers have gone. The General Assembly after carefully deliberating on the matter appointed another to go to Prince Albert on the 4th day of Sept., 1872, with full powers and iostruction to finally dispose of the case. Feagrelings were commenced at 11:30 m., the Convenor, Rev. Mr. Gregg, giving out the first four verses of the 1320d psalm which being sung was follow ed by the reading of the 4th chap. of the epistle of Paul to the HFphesians, the Convener then 1rd in prayer with an earnestness which slowed bis deep sense of the importance of the duties in which they were about to engage and his humble dependence upon the source of all wisdom | for guidance and direction, Rev. Mr. Frazer was chosen as Clerk of the commission. The minutes of the previous action in connection with this case from the time of its coming before the previous commis. sion up till the present, were read and sustained. The Commission Roll was then read when the following answered to their names, Rev. Mr. Gregg, Professor Caven, Dr. Topp, Rev'ds Fruser, Wallace, Dick, Lowry, Down, and Taylor E.gs. -Of the members of the Ontario Presby- tery we observed Dr. Thornton, and the Rev'ds Dawson, Douglas, Edmondson, Kennedy, Bulentyne end Thom, and 'TI. C. Forman, and Ratcliff Esqs. Of the Cartwright party there were Rev. Mr. Windel, and Messrs. Watson Ferguson, Montgomery ; and Williamson of Ballyduff, A large number of deeply interested spectators were present, The Convenor rema-ked that the in- struction of the Assembly to the Qatario Presbytery was that the Presbytery should prepare papers setting forth whatever charges they had to prefer agaiast Mr. Windel and that these papers should have been placed in the bands of the Comission and a copy of them given to Mr. Windel, but so far no papers had been received and be did not see how the commission could proceed very well without them. Mr. Lowrey said that these papers ought by all means to be before the com- mission. Mr. Dick would suggest that they be banded in now seeing that the Presbytery bad not put them in before as desired, Dr. Topp moved that papers be now called for which being agreed, the Con- venor called for papers. No response being made Mr. Lowrey moved that parties be called. Dr. Topp said it was irregular to call parties ere the papers were delivered, which should certainly have been in the hands of the Commission. . Prof. Cavensaid that the reception of papers ought certainly to have preceded the calling of parties but seeing that there are no papers, in order to proceed with the case parties will have to be called -- Mr. Lawrey's motion was carried and the representatives of the Presbytery and of the petitioners were called in tarn, Dr. Thoraton on the of part the Pres-- bytery said they bad' a 'strong desire to comply with the instruction of the assem +B bly but not receiving the uotice in time, the | {hraugh some slip in the Poat Office, they bad not been jn a position to have the matter placed before the Commission a" the mitute which they meant to get up was "Lot completed when the time for this meet- ig arrived. ; Bir, Frazer hinted hat the spittle. fives of the Presbytery migot retire and .- complete (heit minnie, Dr. Thornton replied that the Presby- tery were of opinion, from the instruction of the assembly, that the case was misuo-- derstood ; the Presbytery has no specific charge fo prefer against Mr. Windell, but they are prepared do aa they have done Ejbelore to give the history of the case from the _begioning, and let the Commission t| deal with it. Here be commenced to read when Prof Caven said that not the Assembly but Dr. Thornton appeared to misunder~ stand the case ; the ground which the Dr. was now attempting to travel had already been gone over before the late Commission and disposed of, and the Assémbly had confirmed what had been done, vand now it was asked of the Presbytery to prefer any charge which they had to bring against Mr. Windell. The Dr. now made a desperate attempt to cover the delinquency of the Pres- bytery in appearing there without a rag to sustain them. [le attempted to 80 on to read the old documents but was prevented. Next going into a verbal description of some of the earlier stages of the conflict blamed the Assembly for putting the onus of sustaining a charge against Mr.. Windell on the Presbytery when in fact they had'io chi¥ge to prefer. Mr. Lowry said that the Presbytery had been asked to supply papers relative to any charge against Mr. Windell, but instead of explaining why no papers were forthcoming Dr. Thornton had taken to, review the acts of the Assembly in con- nection with this matter which has nothing to do with the case before the.Commission all that is asked of the representatives of |. the Presbytery now is, bave they any papers to present, and if they have not why is it so ? Dr. Thornton replied that the delay in the receipt of the notice deprived them of time to prepare any paper, and in the sec- ond place they had no charge to prefer but they had documents showing the his tory of the case from the beginning and if they were permitted to read these they would show gufficient reason for the action of the presbytery. Prof. Caven remarked that from the course pursued by Dr.. Thornton it ap- pears that he misunderstands the position occupied by the representatives of the Presbytery before the commission, they are not here oppose Mr. Windell they are only bere to produce papers containing any charge which the Presbytery hus to bring against My. Windell. Mr. Thom dl not consider "that the Presbytery was 'called upon to present any charge. Dr. Topp reminded bim that the action of the Presbyters in opposing Mr. Win- del's restoration to the church bad ren- dered this necéssary on the part of the Presbytery. The Clerk then read to the reresenta-- tives of the Presbytery as their answer to the call for papers. 1st. ln consequence of the delay in the receipt by the Presby- tery of the notice of their being expected to supply papers that they bad not suffi cient time to prepare any paper, and 2od, that the Presbytery bas no charge to pre. fer against Mr- Windel. The" represen-- tatives of the Presbytery being asked if these were their answers replied in the affirmative. Mr. Windel's petition praying the As. sembly to restore him to his status in (he church and transfer him and his congregn. tion to the Cobourg Presbytery was read. i The memorial from Mr. Windell's congregation to the Assembly was also read, praying for the restoration of their paster, and the transfer of the congrega. tion from the Ontario to the Cobourg Presbytery. An extract of minutes of Presbytery of Moy 28, I872 was also read, in which reference was made fo the reception by the Presbytery of the petition and mem- orial accompanied by a request. that they be forwarded to the Assembly. The same minute gives as the reason why Mr. Windel's church bad not been preached vacant as owing to a 'deficien- cy of light on the part of the Presbytery, The minute further set forth that the Presbytery bad agreed to forward the pe- tition and memorial giving also the con- tents of a paper which was prepared with a view to being forwarded with these doc- ements. The paper set forth that Mr. Windel bad not yet in any way given 'the slightest symptom of submission, that the V Presbytery has Tong been annoyed with the action of Mr. Windel, that they lad found it most difficult to deal with him, that be bad blocked thém at every turn with bis legat objections ; the paper also 'recommended that the prayer of Mr, 'WindePs petition may not be granted os bis restoration would be detrimental 10 the iaterests of true religion in that 1. cal. ity, The paper did not certainly single out any particular charge but: it seemed to 'point ominously to some undefined shadows which certainly made'it imperitive oo the Assembly, wishing on the one hand to do justice in the matter and on the oth- er to keep the partals of the church frec from spot or stain, to demand of (he Presbytery to show why Mr. Windel's restoration should be detrimental to the cause of God in that neighborhood. 'The Commission rdjourned for din- ner. Commission resumed. Mr. Windel was called to show cause why the prayer of the petition should be granted, Mr. Windel coming forward said he was glad of an opportunity of offering a few remarks before the Commission, he would travel over as little ground as pos. sible and would not take up much of the time of the Commission, he had no desire to prolong these most disagreeable pro-- ceedings. With regard to several remarks which bave just fallen from Dr. Thoruton he (Windel) felt satisfied that they were calculated to leave a most injurious im- pression on the minds of the Commission, be went on to show that the Dr. had talk ed as it be (Windel) had been all to blame in this matter and that they (the. Presby- tery) bad more to say which had not yet been brought out. The contents of the paper from which Dr. Thoraton bas been reading were all before the Synod's Com- mission and acted upon by that Commis~ sion, yet the Presbytery accompanied his petition with a paper couched in such language that if it did not prefer charges directly it did so by implication and when the Assembly require the Presbytery to present any charge which they have against him (Windel) to the Commission and give him a copy of the same, thé Presbytery now come before the Com- midsion and acknowledge that they have no charge to prefer thus depriving him (Windel) of the opportunity of defending himself ; and now when Dr. Thornton ad- the Commission he speaks in such as se parties to believe that there still were charges which were not brought forward. He would like to know for what he (Windel) has to humble him. self before the Presbyiery what has he done to them ? Dr. Topp said Mr. Windel must con-- fioe himself in the mean time to the sub- ject of the petition and Endeavor to show cause why iis prayer should be granted, and at a further stage be will be allowed to deal with the matter at large, Mr. Lowry said that Mr. Windel might be deprived altogether of treating of that part of the subject if confined to a simple reply to the representatives of the Presbytery as they might confine them. selves to so narrow limits that he would have no chance of touching the matter of which be now speaks. Dr. Topp replied that Mr. Windel was dwelling on the contents of a paper for-- warded to the Assembly from the Pres- bytery ond also on the neglect of the Presbytery in not furnishing the required papers to the Commission if they have any charge to make. Now he (Dr, Topp) submits that Mr. Windel should either object in limine to further proceedings in the absence of papers, or confine himself to the matter of his petition if he chose to go on. Prof. Cavea regarded this the proper course to pursue. Mr, Windel beiog permitted to proceed briey reviewed the action of the Presby- tery, up to the Syuod's Commission, a pretty full account of this was given in our columns when giving a report of the Synod's Commission. The speaker closed his remarks by stating that since the Presbytery had not preferred a single charge against him he would now ack the Commision: to investigate the charge of (P contumacy and devisive courses which had been charged against him. Mr. Dick asked Mr. Windel whether his request to be struek from the roll of the 'Assembly was" verbal or wiitten, and quest r why it was that he came to make that re= |. {WHOLE NO. 765 Mr. Windel replied that he had mace it bob verbally and in writing as the Presbytery refused to do that which be considered just, he injended by this method to have an opportunity of presest. ing his case before the A Mr. Dick said he did not like that paper he regarded it as bad oa the part of Mr. Windel: The Convenor said Mr. Dick must not prejudice the case. Mr. Dick said it was uofortusate that the Presbytery was not in possession of the orginal paper, he however had a copy of it. Here Le read a copy of the paper. ; The representatives of the memorialists were next called to show cause why their memorial should be complied with. Messts. Watson, McLaughlin, Mont- gomery, Ferguson and Williamson address. ed the Commission in turn with a view to obtaining the object of the memorial. The Convenor said that it would now be for the representatives of the Presby. tery to be heard. Prof. Caven remarked that be did not regard the Presbytery as respondents in this case, all that was required of the Presbytery was to prepare the case for the Commission by presenting a paper setting forth any charges they had to prefer against Mr. Windel, but not bay fog prepared any paper it would now be tor them to show why the restoration of Mr. Windel would be detrimental to the interests of the church. Dr. Topp would call. the attention of the representatives of the Presbytery to this matter that they are not here to op- pose Mr. Windell, that neither party ig seeking a victory, (bat the best interests of the church is their only aim, sud that it lies with the Presbytery to show that the best interests of the church will be consulted by refusing to graut the prayer of Mr. Wiadel's petition. Dr. Thornton coming forward said that Mr, Windel bad charged the Presbytery with changing from one place to another at one of their meetings in Cartwright, but they were forced to make this change in consequence of being intruded on by Mr, Windel and his friends snd especially were they interrupted in a rough ungentlemanly manner by a minister of the Church of England who accompanied Mr. Windel. The Dr, went on to describe the progress of the dispute exactly in the same manner as was done before the Synod's Commis. sion and which was then given in these columns. They were all aware be said that for the past ten years the Ont. Pres- bytery has been slinost constantly before the church courts on account of the course pursued by Mr, Windel ; and while the Presbytery is not in a position to prefer any charge agaiost Mr. Windel there have been reports (rom respectable parties and such asthe Presbytery could not ignore, and if these reports have not been investi tigated it is simply because the Presbytery were arrested in their couse by the action of Mr. Windel in consequence of his dis. claiming all connection with the chureh.-- Most of the papers laid on the table of the Presbyjery by Mr. Windel were so disingenuously drawn. Here the Dr.'s advert was objected to, He tried unfair? ly but that would not take ; well he said: they were drawn in such a way that he . (Mr. Windel), could always get: out. Mr. Edmondson was the next to speak on behalf of the Presbytery. He said that the members of the Presbytery were desirous of leaving the restoration or re- jection of Mr. Winde} entirely in the bands of the commission and of would rest the responsibility ; but he could not see how the commission could restore him--here the speaker went" on. with a whole string of the most weighty charges and asked how the commissions could restore any one until such were ia. vestigated. Prof. Caven reminded the speaker that he was wholly out of order, but the speak- er not appearing to know what he should. say went wandering on. Dr.. Topp called the attention of the: speaker to the fact that the course he was was only tending to inculpate himself and the Presbytery id asserting direct charges but the fema was pretty strong. Dr. Topp replied that the Presbytery id they'bad no charge. no pref He ey of aof cl shuigs
