The readers will recollect having seen in last Sunday’s Dispatch, a report of the proceedings before the magistrates at Union Hall, when a conventicle preacher of the name of Church complained of a riotous mob having assembly near the entrance of his Chapel at the Obelisk in St. George’s fields, and attempted to commit violence upon him and his congregation. That report was copied from a daily paper, and was very imperfectly stated. I have since then, made a full enquiry into all the circumstances of this case; and I shall now briefly state them from _authentic documents_, _that are ready to be produced if necessary_. For a considerable time past, the person just named has been getting a living by preaching as a Minister of the Gospel in an obscure conventicle close to the Surrey Theatre. In the mean time, reports had gone abroad that he was addicted to certain abominable propensities, and certain gentlemen in the neighbourhood, not actuated by any jealousy towards a successful “rival in the vineyard,” as the Union-hall report falsely stated, but dreading the disgrace and pollution which Christianity might suffer from the immoral character of any of its teachers, investigated these rumours; and the facts I shall now relate came to light. James Cook, who kept the infamous house in Vere Street, was released from his two years imprisonment in Newgate, on the 21st of September last. In the course of a few days after, I understand, he accidentally met John Church, and recognized him as the _gay parson_, whom he had formerly seen at a certain house in the London Road, and at his own house in Vere Street. A friendly correspondence then took place between these two old acquaintances. About the 13th of October, Cook received a letter, of which a fac simile has been published in St. George’s fields, {7} and of which I have seen the original in Church’s _own handwriting_, (having compared it with other writings of his). In this the _Minister of the Gospel_ offers his assistance to the “Vere Street Culprit,” to enable him to set up another public house, as the reader will perceive from perusing the letter itself:— Dear Sir, Lest I should not have time to call on you or converse with you as I shall not be alone to Day I thought it But Right to Drop you a Line I wish you all the success you can desire in getting a house fit for the Business in the public Line and as you had a great many acquaintance, they ought not to fail you if evey one acted right according to there ability I am sure you would soon accomplish it. As I am By no means Rich, But rather em barrassed I hope you will acept my mite towards it 1l. 1s. and you shall have another as convenient wishing all prosperity, I Remain Your’s, sincerely, J. CHURCH. for Mr. Cook, at mr. halladays Richmond Budgs Dean St.
