FACING THE MATTER OUT.
REV. ROBERTSON ORR.
|BY TELEGRAPH. —PRESS ASSOCIATION.] WELLINGTON. Tuesday.
A meeting of the Wellington Presbytery last night considered the case of the Rev. Robertson Orr in connection with the pastorate of St. Andrew's Church. After a long and somewhat animated discussion flie following motion was passed:—"That a committee be appointed to examine certain documents produced by the Rev. J Gibson Smith, acting as moderator in charge of St. ✓Andrew's Church, as Mr. Orr was granted three months' leave of absence, and 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 he refused to be pressed to resign the charge, a? that would certainly bo construed as a tacit admission of some conscious wrong. He had refused a splendid opportunity to quietly slip away, as he was going to face the matter, and would not allow himself to be quietly pushed out.
