Anxious Nonconformists Challenge Burial Fees Clause
Letter from W Griffith of Derby questions a clause in Mr Osborne Morgan’s proposed burial bill that preserves fees to state ecclesiastical servants when Nonconformist ministers perform the service. The correspondent asks whether the bill would fail in effect if the clause remains and whether Dissenting ministers would accept fees for work done by others. A response argues the clause mainly shows intent to remove a grievance without changing Established clergy profits, noting graves opening fees are often combined with the service.

Pilgrimage to Lambeth Provokes Congregational Row
A letter to the Nonconformist editor, dated February 17 1872, denies that three eminent Nonconformist ministers who were presented to the Archbishop of Canterbury represent the Congregational body. The writer condemns flunkeyism and episcopal arrogance, urging equal treatment of all Christians and noting Dr Stanley and Dean Westminster’s actions as problematic. The piece cites tension between Nonconformists and the Anglican hierarchy in London.
