Excerpt from Remarks on Some Parts of the Report of the Judicial Committee in the Case of "Elphinstone Against Purchas," and on the Course Proper to Be Pursued by the Clergy in Regard to It: A Letter to the Rev. Canon Liddon, M. A., D. C. L., From the Right Hon. Sir J. T. Coleridge
You will understand, of course, that I write in respect of the Report recently made by the Judicial Committee in the Purchas Case. I am not about to defend it. N 0 one, however, ought to pronounce a condemnation of the solemn judgment of such a tribunal without much consideration; and this remark applies with special force to myself, well knowing as I do those from whom it proceeded, and having withdrawn from sharing in the labours of the Committee only because age had impaired with the strength of my body the faculties also of my mind; and so disabled me from the proper discharge of any judicial duties.
