(15) A contemporary observer (William Kelly, op. cit., vol. 2, p. 301), states that "if popular opinion on the subject . . . was to be inferred from the size and glare of placards, the multiplication of pamphlets, the countless advertisements, and the multitudinous public meetings, denunciatory of a State Alliance with the Church, it would seem that ... the Act would be defeated by the impossibility of finding any recipients." However, the "placards were always fabricated by the same cliques, the pamphlets and advertisements always emanated from the selfsame committees, and the public meetings were always presided over by the same chairman, and dosed by the same lugubrious spouters."

(21) Strong feelings were aroused in Australia as elsewhere through the recently pronounced Gorham Judgment. The Bishop of Exeter, Dr. Phillpotts, had refused to institute the Rev. G. C. Gorham to a living in his diocese, on the ground that, having denied baptismal regeneration, he held heretical opinions on the subject of Holy Baptism. The Bishop's action was held by the Court of Arches to be justified, but the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council decided on appeal, that Gorham's language was not incompatible with one interpretation of the Church of England's formularies. The Gorham case caused two difficulties. First, it was thought to show that "the Church as by law established" was tolerant of undoubted heresy, and secondly, it raised the whole question of what the supreme court of spiritual appeal ought to be, and appeared to convict the English Church of hopeless Erastianism.
In Australia, at the 1850 Conference of Bishops, Perry refused to sign a resolution dealing with Holy Baptism, and drew up a different statement of his view, and although he stated "his firm belief that infants do receive in Baptism the grace of Regeneration," his interpretation leaves little doubt that his sympathies were on the side of the Crown in the Gorham Judgment. The fact that it was just at this critical [85/86] moment in the history of the Australian Church that the Baptismal controversy was uppermost in men's minds, meant that those who were in sympathy with the Crown would tend to look to State Control as the ideal method of Church Government; those in sympathy with the Bishop of Exeter on the other hand would prefer a constitution which enabled the bishops to legislate, unfettered by state control.

(26) As Port Phillip District, before 1851, was subject to the control of the Government of Sydney, the educational system of N.S.W. was imposed on the people of Port Phillip. The system existing, known as the Denominational System, was that the religious denominations held the control of education. They erected schools, provided masters, and each denomination made the teaching of its religious tenets essential. The cost of education was borne partly by the respective Churches, the Government, and partly covered by fees. Government funds were divided amongst the denominations on the basis of census returns. The method of establishing schools under the system was as follows:--If an Anglican clergyman desired to have a school in his parish, he procured a building, and engaged a teacher who remained under his control and direction. The regulations required that the teacher should attend for an indefinite period at the Model School of his Denomination, and once appointed the teacher received all instructions from the clergyman.
