A letter argues that English law treats property and its long term control as a national issue. It questions the limits on land and church endowments, contrasting state guardianship with individual rights, and questions how groups like the Liberation Society might affect the Established Church and endowments in perpetuity.
A reader critiques a report on the Hackney meeting and argues against conflating doctrinal trust deeds with the Church Establishment. The author lists four features of the Established Church in England including national funding, bondage, preference, and penalties, contrasting them with Free Churches that lack state support or coercion.
A letter urges Nonconformists to press Parliament with mass petitions in the coming session. It argues for impartial disendowment in Ireland, predicts party caution, and cites Peel’s Maynooth grant as a historical warning. It calls Free Churchmen to mobilize and shape public opinion for abolition of the Irish State Church.
The author argues petitions to Parliament are a constitutional tool shaping public opinion on Irish Church disendowment. Early, forceful advocacy could mobilize Irish sentiment and the political class, while inaction may set a dangerous precedent and reinforce the State Church principle ahead of the next spring election.
Augustus S. Wilkins of St John’s College Cambridge letters in 1868 challenging the claim that the year’s Senior Wrangler is disqualified from a fellowship.

A Lincolnshire vicar in the Church Times accuses Dissenting Poor Law guardians of oppressing John Brown and his wife after Brown was turned off his farm and cottage.
