lOW CATHOLIC CEMETERY, WOKING.

For some time past the Roman catholic inhabi-
tants of the metropolis and its environs have experienced a
difficulty In finding a suitable place of Interment for their
dead. The Roman catholic cemetery et Chelsea has been
dosed now foe some years, under the enactmenti of modern
sanitary legieletlon, and not before what we. doe to the
health of the living absolutely required It. At KOCSIII-
green there is • cutaiderable plot set apart for Roman
catholic use, but which is by no means commensurate with
the number of deaths which manually occur sameget that
on of the metropolitan and suburbia community who
belong to that perm:Lulea. From some technical difficulty
the Roman catholic section of the Heceal-green burial
ground I. unconsecrated, and the natural desire which the
member* of evwy religion* community have that their es-
nabs should nee amongst those who belong to their own
Lath, sad la grand spemelly dedic Aid to that purpose, re-
ndes so far madded. The enormous capabilities of the
Necropolis at Woking, which encloses already an area of 400
sates, and tooludes a resters of 800 acne moire, of lead

sae, and by means of the South Western Railway Company,
which runs into the ground, all suitable faoilltke for ready
sod cheap conveyance; end under an arrangement with the
Neempolls Cempay about an acre and a gawker bee been
sot apart exalusively for the interment of members of the
Roman cetholio perauseloc, which any te inareased so

Yesterday the ceremony of oonuctating the 11 acre was

rical end lay member. of the Roman WhOlie church.

commodious waitiog-roome of the cemetery, Dr. Great, site.

follows: "I thank all present foe their goodness in coming
here to homer this service, which is intended to consecrate
the place in which the bodies of some of our brethren will
rest. We show respect to them because in lite they have
beta the living temple. of the Holy Ghost, and because they

by the church that this place may be blessed, but there are •
ether prayers which we ourselves may offer. When the
faithful visit the seven churches of Rome they recite prayers
on their way from one church to another, and when they are
seer the great cemetery of B'. Lawrence their prayers are
offered foe the first of their company who may di. We beg
to suggest to yen to offer your for the lest of our
present company who may be called away. May our imma-
