PROTESTANT TOLERANCE.
A JUST MEASURE. LONDON, December 4. The Roman Catholic Relief Bill, “a measure of justice to remove longstanding trivial disabilities, ”’was passed by the House of Commons without a division. The prohibitions thus removed, which mostly are of ancient origin, include exercising the Roman Catholic rite or ceremony outside a place of worship or private house, appearing in public in the habit of the order, officiating as priest in any place of worship with a bell steeple, keeping books on Roman Catholic ritual, giving property to an, abbey or convent, making a trust for the benefit of the Roman Catholic order, and the entrance of monastic orders in England. The. Bill has yet to pass the House of Lords. Lord Halifax, leader of the English High Church party, says: “1 am very pleased about it.”
