Admiral Sir Wm. K. Hatt praised steadfast bishops like Coverdale Latimer and Ridley for unwavering faith. He noted 34 bishops govern 23,000 clergy and, as Devonport Dockyard superintendent, 1,000 men, asking what happens to misconducting leaders. Call to sack rituals opponents drew loud laughter and applause.
Rev James Marryatt announced his withdrawal from the Church of England and entry into the Baptist denomination at Downs Chapel, condemning ritualism as a threat to Protestant faith. He cited the Arches Court Bennett case and infant baptism as motives, while Nonconformists in Barnstaple formed the North Devon Reform Association to press for religious equality and altered political support.
Three or four visits by the Liberation Society and Education League to North Devon spur actions in religious equality. The Liberal MP Sir Thomas Acland is noted as a strong Churchman with a hereditary attachment to the Establishment, causing dissatisfaction among Nonconformists about his suitability to represent them again.
The Old Catholic Congress opened at Constance with 200 delegates from Germany and beyond. Leaders including Bishop Reinkens, Dean of Chester, and Abbé Michaud spoke, while Prince Bismarck and Dr Falck showed sympathy and promised potential recognition of Reinkens as a German Catholic bishop.
