LONDON-, January "7.
Five of the demonstrators at St. Cuthbert's Church, Darwen, who interrupted the service as a protest against the sung Eucharist, were charged with brawling during Divine service, and were bound over in their own recognisances to keep the peace for a year.
The defendants pleaded that they acted as a protest against tlf& Romish practices of the vicar, the Rev. E. Lauria. The vicar said he had absolutely kept his-oath made at Jiis induction, and did not admit reservation of the sacrament.
The chairman said the magistrates could not refrain from calling the attention of the Church authorities to these unfortunate disputes, which were an obstacle to law and order, and were not serving the interests of religion.
