be told by their euiployers thtit tiny must oidy imagine their
income for the two previous years had been onc-fourtli less
th:tn bad been ]>romiscd. paid, and had expended, and must
thence acknowledge the receipt of two-thirdi> of their claim for
the current year ? Could anything be more preposterous,
more unl'eeling. or ujore unprincipled? and would not an
inii)ulsive cry of condemnation have been raised against such a
proceeding ? Vet. such has been the proceeding of Messrs.
Cathcarl. Love. Hewitt, Langlcy, and Henry. The unprece-
dented contrivance resorted to on this occasion, in Mr. Stewart'.^
case, is seen in the following resolution : —

When, from whatever cause, they contemplated a reduction
of .<alary. why did they not give their employee honest and
timely notice that such was their intention, and so leave hiui
to shape his course accordingly, iir^tead of suffering him to go
on in a delusion, and thus involve himself in pecuniary difiS-
culties, from which they well loiew be had no means of cxtri-
■-ating hiiiiseli?

Whether iu conseqiienec of this note or otherwise doe.^ not
appear, but in April, 1800. the followin- nunutc is catered
upon their hook : —
•• Thk Omimittee and tri^^nds of th- ^Il^.io^ -vill do all they e^u to

No undor..;.nature, hnyrxvw appears ; but when Mr,
Cathcart talk,, of a ' new arrangement;' does h.e not therein
clearly recorrnize the existence of an old or previous one? and
must we not infer from his thinking it necessary to state, that
under the new he would only hold himself responsible for hi3
OTvn subscription, under the old he had been held as respon-
sible for more? How, then, can lie nn^^■ repudiate that
responsibility ?

Stewart','? on^agcniciit cuiiinuMiced on ihe list oi' May, 1857,
and. as has been stated, he was lully paid tor the years ternu-
natinu,' in May, 1858 and 1859 ; but for those endin;^ in iMay,
ISilO and IHOl.up to the present date, he has received .t 43
Gs. 0?.d. (minus the bad bank-notes), which leaves a balance
due him of :i:15r) KJs. ll^d.. or, $622.79. Had the Commit-
tee from any cause desired a different arrani^ement, why did
they not lionestly pay the balance of £57 on the lirstyear, theii
make their proposals, instead uf resorting to so extraordinary
a method of evadinji' their responsibility ? When this hitter
association was formed, it was hoped that tlie work would i^o
on harmoniou.sly. and the subjoined letters and extracts show
in what esteem Mr. Stewart was held by its members after
twelve years" experience and observation of his course here in
tlie midst (if themselves : nor have these testimonials ever been
bullied by an imputation ol' immorality vi' any description,
even from tliose who. by so \ery ingenious an arrangement,
lirst sought to deprive him df his faithfully eanieil subsistence,
and by such reiirelieii.-ible means liave effecteil their object.
3Ir. Stewart met Mr. Howell in town. December 10, 186 i,
and asked him. •• Did these gentlem<!r. cinplny me ?" An>W','i: —

all times his only resource, or the most remunerative withiu
his grasp, it mi.i^ht liave })een n-i^arded as a mercenary prefer-
ence on liiH part; b»it such has not been the case, i^'oposals
have from time to time been made him, which, in one case at
least, lie was induced to decline by the reasonin-- of those very
men by whom he is now so cruelly betrayed. T allude to that
of his personal friend, Mr. Robinson, of Collingwood, l>y whom
he was offered exactly the same income as that he then enjoy-
ed here— .£100 per annum— together with a cottage, and ap-
partenances for his family accommodation. An ecpially ad
Wntageous offer, though" different in its details, was subse-
qaently made him by Major Stuart, of Lora, Thornbury.
Had n more kindly and upright course been adopted l)y the
Committee, there can be no doul)t that the same zeal in the
ciwse of his Redeemer, which has led Mr. Stewart so long to
continue his unrequited labours, would ha\e also induced him
cheerfully to acquiese in any fair and rcasoimblc adjustment of
the ca3e,"^even to his own loss. But, unhappily for the honom-
of Christianity, more by far than for the welfare of any indi-
vidual, such a course lias not been pursued.
Mr. Stewart "s long experience in this parti«.-uliir Itianch of
the Christian ministry, his grave and gentle manners, his un-
pretending tcmp<.'ramcnt, and in every sense strictly moral
conduct, based as that morality is upon Christian princij.le, his
laborious course, and tlie success which has attended tlioje
labours, together witli trials of an oppressive nature, combine
to render him :ni object of re<pect. sympathy, and gratitude,
in no ordiiiary degree.

Aid in the face ol'ull these dates and doeumeuts, which are
in II. Cathcart's and N. C. Love's handwriting, and in the
missionary"s possession up to the present, they, uu oath, de-
clare that they were never responsible to pay Mr. Stewart.
The reader can form his or her own opinion of what weight
jvach men's oaths ought t(» have in a court of justice.
On oath they declare that they never employed -Mr. Stewart,
nor promised to pay him — he was never in their service ; and
Mr. Cathcart further swore that the Report produced on the
trial (that is the Second Annual Tieport) was not the lieport
of the City Mission but '" <.i thing got up ig Mr. ,l<i„u.< Jicatg
