The adjourned cases of summons for contested Church-rates at Stoke

Newington, which are very numerous, were again brought forward at Worship Street, on Thursday. By persevering in disputing the validity of the rates, the cases, all but a few against some Quakers, were left for the jurisdiction of the Ecclesiastical Court. The Quakers' cases were postponed, to see if they could not be held over until the question of validity was decided, so that the Quakers might not have their goods seized for a rate which might turn out to be illegal.
