Their Congregationi. ^
In cases of difficulties existing between a Qergyman and
his congregation, or any causes arising, owing to which the
continuance of the connection between Clergyman and people
may become injurious to the Church : Upon the request of
the Clergyman or of the congregation, expressed by a resolu-
tion to that effect passed at a Vestry meeting called for that
purpose, or in the event of either party neglecting to act upon
this Canon, then in the exercise of his own discretion, the
Bishop shall appoint a commission, consisting of five members
of the Committee of Discipline, to investigate and report upon
the said matters of difficulty; and the Bishop shall decide
whether, in his judgment, the report of the Commissioners
shall be acted upon and carried out. In case the said Com-
missioners may not recommend a severance of the relation of
Clergyman and people, but that some other course shotild be
pursued by either the Clergyman or the congregation, then,
on the Bishop approving the same, if such Clergyman or con-

Whereas the Joint Committee of the Dioceses of Toronto
and Huron has failed to agree to any apportionment of the
funds and securities of the late Diocese of Toronto, in which
this Diocese has a joint interest, and as it is most desirable to
ensure peace and harmony between the Church Societies of
these Dioceses, that a further effort should be made for an
equitable and final apportionment pf such property and funds.
Be it therefore enacted by and under the authority of the
Act of Incorporation of the Church Society of the Diocese of
Huron (22 Vic, Cap. 05, 1858), and by and with the sanction
of the Bishop of the Diocese.
That the apportionment to the Church Society of the
Diocese of Huron of part of the lands, property and funds of
