outbreJ4 which, without the timely intervention of the
authoritiee, aright hove terminated in a deplorable act at
personal violence and even of bloodshed. The forts ace

viency to the designs of Auntie, with 'sienna' to the clergy
and people of this hieglont, had rendered him an object of
universal detestation within the limit. of his jurisdiction,

churches, esti pt in the eau of the liamchial priests In their
own churches, or of pence. duly authatieed in writing
by himself to that effect, This regulation, which en
ordinary eireutostancee would not have met with much
oppoiltou on the part of the coogregatlone, TJUSed

alone remained. Crowd., etiolated by one sole though!,
