Reports on the charges made against Rev. J. Duffus, minister of St. Luke' Church, Liverpool by the churchwardens regarding his moral conduct and acts of adultery with Charlotte Anne Forbes between June 1845 and June 1847. The purpose of writing the report is to examine the foundation of his episcopal jurisdiction and the legal right of a Colonial Bishop to exercise the same judicial power as Bishops in England. In doing so, he reports on the protest made by Mr. Duffus on the validity of the proceedings of the inquiry.
