BISHOP LISTON'S SPEECH.
PRIESTS PASS MOTION OF SYMPATHY. At a meeting of the Catholic clergy held on Sunday after the ceremony In connection with the opening o B f St. Mary of the Angel’s Church, in Wellington, Father Gilbert (rector of St. Patrick’s College) proposed a vote of sympathy with Bishop Liston "in the unjustifiable attacks now being made upon him." “Whatever our private political opinion may be," said Father Gilbert, “we agree that the attacks being made upon the Bishop arise out of religious animosity, engineered for political purposes. All that His Lordship said in his speech has been said—and- far more —in English itself, by leading English writers and statesmen."
The motion was carried unanimously. Thirty priests were present at the meeting, which gave cheers for Bishop Liston.
