CONDILICII•TION OF • PILINBT. —The Court of Appeal
st Munich has recently 000demned I member of the
priesthood to two months' imprisonment for having in
• cafe, used insulting language towards the Prlme
Minster and the national representation. The examina-
tion of the witnesses revealed some curious feats. Thus,
the proprietor of the establishment deposed that the
amused was one of the 90 ecclesiastic. who had dined
together—that the festivities were prolonged to e very
late hour, and that most of the guests were so overcome
by wine that he was obliged to procure as omnibus to
take these austere miclesteaties to their homes.

Cori Or TRI RITUAL TRIAL& —A correspondent of
the Weser* Morning News, whose information thereto
reuse to believe is reliable, states that the cation both
sides in the St. Alt..'. Ritual trials amount to £20,000.
The writers says, further, that Mr Mackonochis will
probably be advised to "go through "the Bankruptcy
Court rather than the English Church Union shall be
called upon to pay this enormous coos. The ritual in
/.aihall-eireet is not particularly elaborate, but
tprobably the rev. gentleman would find it somewhat
difficult to obtain plenary absolution at the bands of
the exacting minater of justice presiding there.

Yore-street, Bridgwater, vu cutting up a bullock on
Wedneeday, he asoovered e common table fork firmly
embedded in the jaw beneath the tongue, the beadle
liowerds the throat, and the prongs almost protruding
through the lower jaw, =using a tooth to be dhiplaord.
It must have been there a considerable time.
DILOWNID ST • FLOOD.—IIdr. Daniel Bale, of Kingston
near Tauntoe, was found drowned on Wednesday. On
Turtle, evening he went toe stream to wash his horee's
legs. The current was exceedingly strong,oonsequent on
• flood, and it is conjectured that the horse was thrown
off its legs, the rider icing at the same time washed from

the fears of his family were realised on Wednesday,
the lifeless body being found some distance down the

of this association was held at the Boardroom, in the

the chair, the Archdeacons of Wilts and Dorset, Rev.
Prebeedary Payne, Rev. Prebendary Carnegie, Rev. C.
Iderford. and Rev. W. E. C. Audin-Gourlay, diocesan
eacretaries.—An application was considered from the
Rev. A. B. Littlewood, for a grant towards increasing
the church accommodation at Turnworth in the
Archdeaeonry of Dorset. It Is proposed to rebuild the
church at a cod of £3125 of which £342 remains to be
ratted and to provide seat room in it for 144 persons
(118 free). It appeared be the plans submitted that the
width between the seats was insufficient to meet the
requirement. of the Society's raid, and subject to this
being rectified, a vote of £7O was agreed to.—The
*mond application was one from the Bee. R. D. Travers,
Incumbent of Swanage, Dorset. It appeared that there
was an outlying populatioo of 460 persons in this pariah
requiring Church accommodation, and that it is
intended to build a chapel of ease for them at Hendon,
the whole of the sittings (211) to be free. Two different
pleas were submitted, one at • cod of £lOOO and the
other of 1.1300 and it was agreed to make grant of £lOO
of the former was carried out, and £l5O If the larger
plan, involving the erection of a north dale and a vestry,
was adopted.—ln the case of Willesford, Wilts, towards
augmenting the accommodation In the church a grant of
£2.5 wee voted. This was • renewed application from
the Bev. E. B. Wroth, the plans having been submitted

only gave them a qualified approvaL—Au application
made to the committee was next eonsidered, for
permission to make an alteration In the plans for the
rebuilding of Hinton Martell Church, Dorset, towsrds
the carrying out of which £lOO had been promised by
the society. The proposed alteration would entail •
loss of 34 dttings, but under the cdreumstances it was
determined to earede to the request, subject to the
diocesan architect's approvsl.—A similar application
was gone iuto in the case of West ledworth, Dorset, the
vicar, the Rev. W. Glides, having applied for permission
to omit the tower in the I ebuildiog of thr church, on
the understanding that the remainder of the building as
to plan and numbs rof sittings should remain unchanged.
No objection was raised to reconsider the summit of
there grant (4:150), which had been made on • larger
scale than nasal owing to the special difficulties to be
dealt with in the case. They decided to reconsider the
precise amount kir which the grant should be reduced,
when at • future meeting more:exact information was
afforded as to the reduction of expenditure which the
omission of the tower would secure.
