Other Remarks:

In consequence of the unfortunate division of the Hebrew members, education has for a time been neglected. One party leaving the old Synagogue and carrying away 4 Sifrei Torah and all the rest belonging to a Shool and besides breaking down seats and Shulchan and the Aron HaKodesh and collecting monies due by members for seat rent, etc.to old Shool, all this has ruined our finances, compelling us to replace the Sifrei Torah and all the rest which they want only destroyed. We could not follow them to their impure Synagogue, first, as they had rebelled against the mandate of the late Chief Rabbi about a certain individual here, and induced their Shochet and reader to be guilty of the same breach, and then selected for a place of worship a room in a building where anatomy is practised by 170 students, Cohanim and others may meet corpses of all nations, where they can be got, surely this is an unfit place for worship as a Mikdash Me'at. When the Rabbi shall declare this an unfit place, as he certainly will, as impure, then there may arise a uniting of one Kehillah and Shalom. (The fore-going is scored through with three lines. Dr. Adler added a note in Yiddish which reads, in translation, 'The laws of the synagogue are against, and from the Torah. "a man who dies in a tent", and then the Cohanim? This dispute reached the courts, vd. The Glasgow National, 19 November 1845.
