A CLERICAL SCANDAL.
THE CASE OF CANON NASH. ENQUIRIES IN ENGLAND. Received March 16, 8.37 a.m. LONDON, March 15. Mr J. S. Faulkner, of Geelong, who was sent to England by sympathisers with the Rev. C. H. Nash, formerly incumbent of Christ Church, Geelong, to investigate charges of misconduct made against Mr Nash while curate at Huddersfield, Yorkshire, made prolonged enquiries, and states that he has not been able to find a trace of anything to justify a charge of any kind against Mr Nash. Dr Moule. Bishop of Durham, informed Mr Faulkner that he cannot recall the source of his statement to the Archbishop of Sydney in regard to misconduct on the part of Mr Nash. He accepted the writer's bona fides at the time, but must now consider tha statement based on rumour. Mr Faulkner has not seen Canon Bardsley, who was vicar at Huddersfield when Mr Nash was curate there. Mr Bardsley has given other details of serious gravity respecting an incident which is said to have happened in his (Mr Bardsley's) family. This incident, Mr Bardsley states, led to Mr Nash's expulsion from the vicarage, and to Mr Bardsley's intervention to prevent Mr Nash's promotion. . J
