Excerpt from The Bishop of Lincoln's Case: A Report of the Proceedings in the Court of the Archbishop of Canterbury, on the Objections to the Jurisdiction

The following pages contain a report reprinted from The Law Reports, with the sanction of the Incorporated Council of Law Reporting, of the case of Read v. The Bishop of Lincoln, upon the point as to the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan over the Bishops of the province, and also upon that as to the duty of a Bishop to conform to the Rubrics when officiating as a minister at Divine service. There is also an appendix which contains the pleadings on which these two points were argued, and a selection from the very numerous and lengthy authorities referred to in the argu ments. The judgment of the Archbishop of Canterbury is given verbatim, the arguments of counsel are in the form of a pr�cz's.

Each of the above questions is entirely distinct from any which may hereafter arise in the course of this litigation: the first is essentially historical in character, and so long as there exists an established Church, it must be of interest to every student of our constitutional history.
