ROBERTSON ORR CASE.
RESOLUTION BY WELLINGTON PRESBYTERY. (Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Dec. 12. A meeting the Wellington Presbytery to-night considered the* ease of the Rev. Robertson Orr in connection with the pastorate of St. Andrew’s Church. After a long and somewhat animated discussion, the following resolution was passed, on the motion of the Rev. J. MeCaw (Lower Hutt): —“That a committee be appointed to examine certain documents produced by the Rev. J. Gibson Smith, acting as Moderator of the charge of St. Andrew’s, as the Rev. Mr Orr was granted three months’ leave of absence; also any other relevant documents; and then confer with Mr Orr and report back to the committee.” Mr Orr made a long personal explanation, in which he said that he refused to be pressed to resign the charge, as that would certainly be construed' as a tacit admission of some conscious wrong. He refused _ a splendid opportunity to quietly slip away. Ho*_was going to face the matter, and would not allow himself to be quietly pushed out.
