ROMAN CATHOLICISM
DISABILITIES IN ENGLAND. RELIEF MEASURE PASSES COMMONS. (Press Association—By Tekgraph—Copyright.) LONDON, December 4. (Received Dee. 4, at 5.5 p.m.) The Roman Catholic Relief Bill, a “measure of justice to remove long-stand-ing trivial disabilities,” was passed by the House of Commons without a division. The prohibitions thus removed, which are mostly of ancient origin, include the exercising of a Roman Catholic rite or ceremony outside a place of worship or a private house, appearing in public in the habit of an order, officiating as a priest in any place of worship with a bell or steeple, keeping books on Roman Catholic ritual, giving property to an abbey or convent, making a trust for the benefit of a Roman Catholic order, and entrance to monastic orders in England. The Bill has yet to pass the House of Lords. Lord Halifax, the leader of the English High Church Party, says: “I am very pleased about it.”—A. and N.Z. Cable.
