I HAVE the honour to transmit to you herewith copy of a letter, with enclosures, or Natal to from the Right Reverend the Lord Bishop of Natal to myself, dated the 5th instant; copy Acting Lieut- of my letter referring the same to the Very Reverend the Dean of Pietermaritzburg, Bisset, dated Mr. Green, dated 12th instant; and that reverend gentleman's reply, dated the 14th instant; 5th Feb. 1866. and also the further observations of the Lord Bishop of Natal on the latter document. 2.

4. I am aware it is desirable that Colonial Governors or officers administering a 19th Feb. Government should act on their own responsibility; nor would I refrain from such a course on the present occasion, were I satisfied that the matter would end here; but this religious controversy, already agitating the Colonies, will, I believe, extend to the whole of Christendom, and I therefore deem it right to transmit the whole of the accompanying papers for your consideration and advice in order to ensure uniformity of action in Her Majesty's Colonies.
5. You will not fail to observe that Mr. Green is supported in his proceedings by the Bishop of Cape Town, who claims jurisdiction as Metropolitan, while the Bishop of Natal claims obedience in his capacity of "ordinary," and both these dignitaries claim to exercise these conflicting powers under their respective Letters Patent.

1. I feel it to be my duty to lay before your Excellency the following facts.
2. In the year 1857 I appointed the Rev. James Green, M.A., then holding, as now, his office of a colonial chaplain, as a minister of the United Church of England and Ireland, to be Dean of my cathedral church in the city of Pietermaritzburg.
3. In the year 1803 the Bishop of Capetown, appointed by Her Majesty's Letters Patent Metro- politan Bishop within the Queen's dominions in South Africa, and acting, as he supposed, by virtue of that authority, claimed to sit in judgment upon me with reference to certain matters of doctrine, and pretended to deprive me of the office which I also hold under Her Majesty's Letters Patent,
Bishop of the United Church of England and Ireland in this Colony.
