THE GORHAM CASE. [TO THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR.") Sin,—In
your article on the blatcham case last week, you state that ,the Archbishop of Canterbury "went down" to institute
Mr. Gorham, after the final decision had been given against the Bishop of Exeter. I think you will find that this was not the case, but that the then Dean of the Arches (Sir Herbert Jenner Fust) instituted Mr. Gorham, acting for the archbishop, as his "official principal." The scene was a curious one, the Bishop of Exeter having appended to the letters of appointment a long protest, which the Dean of the Arches indignantly tore off and threw on the floor. I would not have troubled you with this correction, but for the importance which attaches to precision in connection with these matters at the present time.—I am, Sir, &c.,
A COUNTRY JOURNALIST.
