POLICE AT CHURCH.
Witnesses of Evening Wedding. CAMBRIDGE PARISH DISPUTE. Per Press Association. CAMBRIDGE, May 3. Following a meeting of parishioners of St Andrew’s Church on Tuesday night, when Bishop Cherrington temporarily took charge of the parish living, which previously had been declared vacant, the doors of the church were found locked yesterday. This followed the vicar’s refusal to hand over the keys. The Bishop’s warden (Mr C. W. Boyce) and newly-elected church officers, visited the church yesterday, removed the locks and opened the church doors under the Bishop’s instructions. Last evening a wedding was held in the church, the police being in attendance. The vicar, the Rev R. G. Bell,' maintains his attitude, and will stay in the parish. The Bishop already has advertised the services for next Sunday.
