THE RITUALISTIC PRACTICES AT ST. ETHZIe
BUROA, BISHOINAGATE.—A vestry meeting of the rate-
paying pariebioners of this parieh was held yesterday
afternoon in the vestry-room of the church to consider the
recent proceedings instituted by the Rev. J. N. Rodwell,
the rector, against Mr. Limpton, and the rev. gentle-
m's letter in reference thereto, ineerted in a con-
teanmporary on the loth inst. Mr. Churchwarden Shp ton
occupied the chair, and Mr. Harris, the vestry clerk,
having intimated that, in consequence of a notice from
the rector's proctor, the discussion must be confined to
the letter only, it was announced that the meeting bad
been convened in compliance with a requisition signed by
24 of the tithedste-payers. The churchwarden reminded
the vestry that the rector had promised' in the letter, to
make any alteration in the services thatinight be desired
by his communicants. He, therefore, hoped that an int.
mistakable request would be made that the services
should be restored to their original protestant sim-
plicity. There was, however, this difficulty in the
way, none of the parishioners had been communi-
cants for the past three years. Mr. Winbuah, who
add he had attended the services until they became
so Romanised that ho could remain no longer, moved
a resolution calling upon she rector to fulfil his promise,
and in future conduct the servings in proceed, the same
manner as when he was inducted. Mr. Burdett, in second-
ing. the resolution, complained that although the
parishioners were heavily med to provide the
urned a
rector's
stipend, amounting to over 9001. a year, he had t
deaf ear to all their remonstnitioee, sad driven them from
thn church in disgust. Mr. Straker denied the reverend
gentleman's statement that his objectionable practice
wee approved by some of his parishioners, and declared
that the church was going to ruin for want of the neces-
sary funds to repair it, which had been steadfastly refused,
The resolution was unanimously passed, and the gentle-
men present, about 25 in number, were appointed as a
committee to take the requisite steps to have it enforced.
It was stated that the ornaments, banners, vestment., and
crosses which had been the great eyesore, ware removed on
Wedneed...y.

Bannister, a baby nine months old, who was scalded to
death by an imbecile inmate of the Wigan

opening of the inquiry, sad left it beyond doubt that the
deceased was placed in a can of water which was very
nearly at the boiling point, and that Deviser, the nurse,
with a rough towel rubbed off the blistered skin as the
infant lay en her lap. The jury delibersted for an hour
and a haU, and they returned the following verdict :
