London, October 1.  Last Sunday the parish clerk of a church
south of London Bridge, having given out a psalm which the
minister did not approve of, was called to from the pulpit
to sing Gloria Patri, which he not instantly complying with,
was pulled out of his desk by the minister, who kick'd him
very heartily in the sight of the whole congregation, who
were greatly scandalized and surprized, at such an exertion
of ecclesiastical authority.
