Dr. Colenso has been condemned by the Bishop of Capetown
on all the nine charges of heresy preferred against him, with the full con- currence of his two brother bishops on every charge. None of them expressed any real doubt either on the construction of Dr. Colenso's meaning or the meaning of the Church formulte, and their judg- ments were about as much like Dr. Lushington's scrupulously con- scientious interpretation as a sermon is like an act of Parliament. Dr. Colenso is condemned to be deposed from his office as bishop, and "to be further prohibited from the exercise of any divine office within any part of the Metropolitical Province of Capetown," unless he recant all the heretical opinions cited from his writings before the 4th day of March next in London (or the 16th day of April in Capetown). The Bishop's agent, Dr. Bleek, protested against the legality of the judgment, and gave notice of appeal, and the Bishop of Capetown declined to recognize any appeal except to the Archbishop of Canterbury, and required that to be made within fifteen days. We have discussed the theology of the reverend judges elsewhere.
