[Sidenote: How removable.]
8. And be it enacted, that the said catechist, schoolmaster, surgeon,
and surgeon's mate, as well as the tradesmen in the Company's service,
shall be obedient to the orders they shall from time to time receive
from the governor and council of each fort; and if they, or any of them,
or any other person, in whatever station, shall appear, on complaint and
proof to the majority of the commissioners, to lead a disorderly and
debauched life, or use any profane or impious discourses, to the danger
of defeating the purposes of this institution, and to the scandal of the
natives, who are to be led by all due means into a respect for our holy
religion, and a desire of partaking of the benefits thereof, they are
authorized and directed to suspend the said person from his office, or
the exercise of his trade, and to send him to England (but without any
hard confinement, except in case of resistance) with a complaint, with
inquiry and proofs adjoined, to the African Company.
9. And be it enacted, that the Bishop of London for the time being shall
have full authority to remove the said chaplain for such causes as to
him shall seem reasonable.
