' , London, March'3l., • .Inquiries show that '. tho accusations, against Canon Nash, of Geelong, known as tho "No. 2 chargei" rest entirely on state•monts made by Canon Bardsley,. who .was vicar of Huddersfield ~when Mr. Nash was curate there, to tlievßishop of Lichfield and others, which possibly reached the ears of Dr. Moule, Bishop; of Durham. 1 ' \ Dr. .
