One oxplained that no trug- tecs conld bo appointed except by a quarterly conforence, and 1bat tho Presiding Elder, by ro- fusing to hold one, provonted tho appointment. Tho other libel was tho assertion thav his prose- cation was malicious and frivolous, and designed to accomplish ultorior aud bidden ends, Tho trial was bad, rod tho rulings of tho Court wore 50 manifostly unjust that DAaxenoy withdrew, and was subeequently oxpelled, having been + found guilty without mitigating ciroumstances to modify tho peualty.,” To tho unregenorato, thicgo proceedings seom like a ghastly joke, with- out point, unlesy tho humor lie In the effort to strain at a gnat.
