Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Lewes Riot, Its Causes and Its Consequences: A Letter to the Lord Bishop of Chichester

It was in the Autumn of 1854 that I was informed by a friend of our late Sister's that she was in great distress of mind, and was exceedingly anxious to obtain the assistance of some priest; and that, from having read some of my books, she wished, if it were possible, to see me. I thus heard a part, but only a part, of her troubles; but enough to convince me that her mind, if she were left to herself, might be unequal to the wear and tear of continual. Suffering; and that, if the support to which she had a right were denied her in the English, she might probably seek it in the Roman, Church.

Excerpt from The Lewes Riot, Its Causes and Its Consequences: A Letter to the Lord Bishop of Chichester

Z 99 creply, she was informed by the servant that, till she left the apartment into which she had been shown, your Lordship's interviews with others could not proceed. That anyone, be his rank or station what it may, should thus repulse a lady, whose only object in request ing an interview was to set herself right in his good Opinion, I could not have believed. A Bishop is en treated by an old friend, and the daughter of an old friend and parish priest, by one who had been, by the confession of all, spending and being spent for the benefit of the Diocese, to grant her half an hour's interview in order to clear herself from what she feels to be a cruel calumny. That Bishop has already acted on the strength of the calumny but when requested to allow an answer to it, replies by his servant, and replies as I have just stated.

Further, she received, on her return home, a letter from your Lordship, expressing still more strongly the same refusal of allowing us to clear ourselves. That letter, not having received your Lordship's permission to publish, I cannot give, the reply to it I insert in the Appendix. See Letters 3 and 4.

That which your Lordship would not allow to be laid before you in private, must therefore now be laid before you in public. For the scandal which must inevitably follow, for the wounded feelings of those whom - little regard as they have paid to our own feelings - I would fain have spared, I am not responsible. The least atten tion, the slightest act of justice, on your Lordship's part, would have obviated this most painful necessity. I have now only to state the exact and simple truth, and to leave the issue in the Hands of god.
