 Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, which august body confirmed the decision, and sentenced the appellant to be deprived of his living, and to pay the costs, Feb. 11, 1871. A week however was allowed, in order to give Mr. Voysey an opportunity of retracting, of which permission he declined to avail himself. Since that period he has delivered sermons and lectures chiefly in St. George's Hall, London, explanatory of his theological views, and that he has a large number of wealthy supporters and sympathisers is evident from the list of subscribers to the Voysey Establishment Fund. Besides the works already mentioned, Mr. Voysey has published a letter to Dr. Longley, Archbishop of Canterbury, on the Decalogue; "Dogma versus Morality, a reply to Church Congress," 1866; and "Humanity versus Barbarism in our Thanksgivings," 1868. For three years Mr. Voysey's sermons appeared regularly in the Eastern Post, and are now printed and published every week.
