Record book, 1837.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/191259249

This record book is a printed pamphlet (with Coit's notes) of charges brought against Benjamin Bosworth Smith (1794-1884) in Lexington, Ky., 1837. Smith was recort of Christ Church in Lexington, 1830-1838, and had been appointed first Bishop of Kentucky in 1832. He was also one of the founders of the Theological Seminary, and later became Senior and Presiding Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church, U.S. The church hearing held in 1837 was due to conflict in the parish which resulted in the temporary formation of two churches. Coit inserted among the printed lists of charges his own notes regarding witnesses who appeared to testify for and against Smith, as well as quotations from their testimony. Coit himself was apparently a witness against Smith. The six charges contain detailed specifications and include interference with the operation of the Seminary and Transylvania University, duplicity, and improper handling of church funds. Several witnesses were Hamble James Leacock (1795-1856) and Dr. Henry Caswall (1810-1870).
