MISCELLANEOUS.

1. The Right to take Testimony before a Com mittee, etc.

Testimony taken before a Committee sitting in the case of an accused member of an Annual Conference is to be received as evidence on the trial of said Minister before the Annual Conference.—Journal, 1848, p. 126.

2. To whom a Member holding a Certificate is Accountable.

When a member receives a certificate of membership from a Preacher having charge of a Circuit or Station he is responsible for his moral conduct (from the date of his certificate until he joins) to

the Society receiving him upon that certificate.-Journal, 1848, p. 126.

3. New Testimony not Admissible on Appeal.

In no case of an appeal can new evidence be admitted.-Journal, 1860, p. 137.

4. Probationers no Right to Bring Charges.

Question. Has a probationer in our Church the right to prefer charges against a member of our Church?

Answer. He has not.-Journal, 1860, p. 228.

5. Status of Members improperly Received or

Expelled.

If a Preacher in Charge of any work receive a person into the Church contrary to the Discipline, can the Annual Conference correct the administration, and declare that the person, having been received contrary to Discipline, is therefore Lot a member?

Answer. No. This question was decided by the General Conference of 1852 by the adoption of the following resolution:

Resolved, That when an Annual Conference decides that a Preacher having

charge has received or expelled a member contrary to the Discipline, the decision does not exclude the member so received, but restores the member so expelled.-Journal, 1852, p. 73, and Journal, 1860, p. 297.

When a member is expelled from the Church, and complaint is made against the administrator to his Annual Conference for maladministration, and the Conference decide that the person was expelled cortrary to Discipline, what is the relation of the member expelled from the Church? Does the act of the Annual Conference restore the character of the member, so that the charges on which he was expelled are so annulled that the Preacher may legally give him a letter before said charges are disposed of by trial or withdrawn?

Answer. The act of the Annual Conference does not restore his character, but simply his membership, and when so re stored he is placed in the position which he occupied before he was tried; that is, he is an accused member, and hence the Preacher is not at liberty to give him a certificate of membership.-Journal, 1860, p. 298.
