THE SYDNEY DIVORCE CASE.

OUR REVIEW OF THE CASE.

A lengthy review of the sensational and happily unsuccessful attempt made to get at the purse of the Very Rev. Dr. O'Haran by blackening his reputation as a priest has been crowded ont of our present issue for lack of space. It will appear in our next issue, and will furnish a complete exposition of the utter collapse of the manufactared 'pvidpnoft' with which it was Bought to blast the reputation and pick the pockets of the Very Rev. Dr. O'Haran. It will also contain an instructive, if melancholy, exposure of the happily futile efforts made by an organised group of religious intolerants in Sydney to so play upon the popular passion as to prevent the possibility of a fair trial for the grossly-maligned Catholic ecclesiastic and to utilise the wretched affair for the purpose of ' humiliating the Church of Rome.' New Zealanders who recall the miserable detours and petty chicanery with which it was sought to fix the brand of an indelible disgrace upon the Marist Brothers of Stoke would do well to furnish themselves with the exposure of thia latest attempt to inflict something far worse than death upon a high-placed and virtuous ecclesiastic for such gross motives as personal greed and sectarian passion. Persons desirous of securing extra copies of our next issue for themselves and their friends should communicate without delay with our agents or our manager.
