Editorial notices condemn the dispute between Sir Henry Young and Bishop Short amid religious strife. Correspondence published so far reflects poorly on both sides. A meeting is planned for Tuesday to discuss the matters more formally, with a fuller report promised next Saturday.
A sharp review laments Sir Henry Young's private letter and public stance against Bishop Short and the Tractarianist line. It accuses the Governor of cowardice and disingenuousness, questions his tact at meetings, and argues the Church Society fringe exposes broader religious tensions in the colony.
A long correspondence reveals tension within the Church Society as Secretary and members clash over motions, withdrawals, and authority. The exchange cites meetings at Adelaide, disputes over church wardens, baptismal terms, and governance, with calls for calm and accountability amid public scrutiny.
A critique of Governor Haverhouse in poor prose and flawed logic. The piece mocks his letters to Rev Woodcock and the Lay Secretary of the South Australian Church Society, noting muddled phrases, unclear arguments, and misapplied terms. It suggests he lacks the tact and precision expected of a public figure.
