Sir Robert's reply was to {ssue a 'tatement declaring that he would never trim his sails merely to ob- tain the subscriptions of the wéll- to-do, and that he had no desire to be simply a guinea-pig member An independent party was formed to support hig candidature, and at the last election he was returned with a majority of 7,281, Curious Trouble Over Omament in Church - London Fog. 11----A curious posi- tion has arisen in regard to the Catholic practice of having a pyx hanging in the Anglican Cathedral of Truro, in Cornwall, 'The pyx has been hanging near the altar in the south aisle of Truro Cathedral. This aisle, though is a fragment of the old parish church, which was incor- porated into the cathedral when the latter was built some 40 years ago. Proceedi have been taken be- fore the Diocesan Chancellor who, as the chief legal officer of the Dio- cese, exercises authority upon "orn- aments" introduced into churches. The Chancellor has ruled that this south aisle still remains the parish church, and has ordered the pyx to be removed, It is admitted that Chancellors have no jurisdiction over cathedrals, where the authori- ty of the Dean and.Chapter is para- mount. The Bishop of Truro, Rt. Rev. Walter Frere, has written to the Archbishop of Canterbury pro- testing against the ruling of the Chancellor and Intimating that the matter may be taken before the Ec. clesiastical Court for the Province of Canterbury.
