“MEASURE OF JUSTICE”
ROMAN CATHOLIC RELIEF BILL. ANCIENT PROHIBITIONS REMOVED. (Rec. 5.5 p.m.) London, December 4. The Roman Catholic Relief Bill, “a measure of justice to remove long standing and trivial disabilities,” was passed by the House of Commons without 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 private house, appearing in public in the habit of an Order, officiation 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, leader of the English High Church Party, says: “I am very pleased about it.”—A. and NJZ.
