A PROTESTANT TRIBUTE TO DR. FENNELLY.
Noticing the position assigned to the Catholic Bishop of Bombay in the " Precedence List" drawn up by the Bombay Government, the ' Madras Mail' remarks : — " The Roman Catholic Prelate takes precedence of all executive and legislative members of Council, tho Judges of the High Court, and all other officials. If the Roman Catholic Bishop of Bombay is as much deserving of the respect of both Catholics and Protestants as is the Right Rev. Dr. Fennelly |in Madras, we cannot grudge him the distinction conferred upon him in the new list." The 'Madras Mail' is one of the leading organs of public opinion in this Presidency, and represents the opinion of vast numbers of educated and liberal-minded men. Its estimate, therefore, of Dr. Fennelly, is a highly important one, and is sufficient praise for the good Bishop. x
