RELIGIOUS DISSENSIONS IN ST•

GEORGE'S-IN-THE-EAST.

..RENEWAL' OF DISTURBANCES.
On Sunday (the high festival of Easter) there was
a renewal of those disturbances with which the old
te
parish 'church of St. George's-in-the-East and
neighbourhood generally are pretty well familiari!ed
•
On Good Friday the congregation was scanty, and
at
the evening service it was not found necessary to ()pas
the galleries. Throughout this service the gas I/ f
turned down to the lowest point, so that the gloom of
the church might correspond with the solemnity of t,11,,,
day. The altar was completely covered with black elov.'s
which did not tend to render the appearance of ti;`:
sacred edifice more cheerful. Several protesters " gaicid
the responses very emphatically, while the clergy 811„
choristers intoned them ; and Mr. Bryan King, wuw
preached, was very, slightly interrupted in his sermon. k
At the morning service yesterday, the gates were kept
closed until ten minutes after the usual time, the char%
wardens themselves being denied admission, and in tuf
evening the same course was repeated, some hundreds
s°
persons professing to be parishioners being kept out
ow
the rain until twenty. minutes to seven, while pe.rB°,l
who avowedly had no connection with the pairish 1/113'
allowed to pass through the private gate of the reel
into the church. The consequence was that, 4°,beirs
the doors were opened, the excited people rusheu,"

mixed. There were also vases of flowers on the altar
Over the quasi altar hung the chandelier, at which ha%
socks, Prayer-books, and Bibles were freely thrown on
Sunday evening. On this occasion it had two circles of 'al
candles, altogether about 32 in number, festooned 17#
evergreens and red and white roses. About ten rnils4(l
after the congregation had been admitted a white-rnroa
chorister came forth from the vestry, and with a long
with a taper attached, began to light the candles. This wts,
the signal for a terrific uproar, which it is needlese.o
describe, for it was of the same character as that willbo
has been so often reported. It was so intense that t,t,
churchwarden was sent for, and accordingly went to the'
vestry-room. At ten minutes past seven the ehall.
warden (Mr. W. J. Thompson) came out of the vestrla
room, and, approaching the altar, evidently in a ;Fool
excited state, exclaimed to the people who were crown!
round the altar, " Take yi)ur seats." The mob shout
" Where ?" io which Mr. Thompson replied "An Ye
where;" and forty or fifty people at once broke into th
altar.
'A gentleman named Adams rushed to the altar gstes
