The prefbytery fat Tome time after the conference, and then gave in a paper to the fynod; in which they fay," they are of opinion, that if the refolution of the fynod, which as yet is not intimated to them, fhall have confidered them as parties, and have condemned their conduct, in forming and carrying on a libel against Mr Car lyle, that they are, according to the forms of this church, at liberty to ap peal to the general affembly;" and they appointed their moderator to enter an appeal accordingly, for reafons to be gi ven in due time.Then the fentence was intimated. The prefbytery appealed. Mr Carlyle faid, "He received the admonition and injunction of the fynod with respect. He was forry for the offence he had given; and hoped he should never give the fynod, or any other judicature of the church, occafion to call him be fore them again for fuch a piece of conduct." Meff. Thomas Turnbull, Wil liam Mackie, Patrick Simfon, John Murray, and Robert Paton, minifters in Dalkeith prefbytery, defired it might be marked that they acquiefced in the fynod's fentence. The fynod appointed the Moderator, Prof. Hamilton, and Meff. Robert Wallace, William Robertfon, and Gilbert Hamilton, and Mr Jofeph Williamson, a committee to an fwer the reasons of the appeal and diffent when given in; and, in conjunction with others of the fynod who are members of the enfuing affembly, to fupport the sentence of the fynod before that court. On the 13th the following overture was tranfmitted to the affembly. "The fynod being deeply affected with the countenance given of late to the enter tainments of the ftage, particularly by feveral minifters, which entertainments have from long experience been found prejudicial to the great interefts of religion and virtue; and confidering that it has been alledged, that there is no exprefs law or ftatute of this church which prohibits her members and ministers to witnefs theatrical reprefentations, they do humbly overture to the Venerable Affembly, that they would be pleafed to take this matter under their serious confideration, and lay down fuch rules as fhall obviate that pretext, and may effectually prevent fuch unwarrantable practices for the future."
