An Outspoken Minister.

Melbourne, July 24. The Rev, Mr Worral, in a sermon at Bendigo, denounced Sir Samuel Gillot, Victorian Chief Secretary, in connection with the recent gambling tragedies, and impeached him as the cause of the blood flowing from the wounds of the gamblers. The speaker said it was nonsense for Sir Samuel to pretend he was powerless to stop the scourge, which was creating a very Gethsemane of woe and trouble. Mr Bent, Premier, states that he will arrest the Rev. Mr Worral if possible, adding. " I’ll straighten him up,” Mr Worral, in an interview, says that the tragedy at Flemington (the kicking to death of a vvelsher) would never have occurred if the authorities had exercised the power the law gave them.
