(A London cable on February 10th Stated: —The village of Avcning (Gloucestershire) is excited over the opening of a commission of enquiry appointed by the Bishop of Gloucester to investigate allegations regarding the conduct of the rector, the Rev. 0. E. Hayden. It is alleged that he paid court to a village schoolmistress under circumstances to occasion a scandal, and that he frequented alehouses, telling improper stories and habitually swearing. Counsel, outlining the complaints, said that having regard to the rector’s own reputation, and the fact that he was a married man, apart from being a clergyman, the commission would have to ask whether he acted wisely. Mr Jlayden denies the charges, and says the gossip must be fully investigated "for the sake of myself, my wife, and the jouug woman concerned.”)
