MORE OF THE DOHERTY CAsE.-The excite
ment in the case of Rev. J. j. Doherty the al
legged seducer of Miss Monaghan, at Springfield,
Mass, remains undated. A great meeting of
the Catholics was held on Monday evening, to
take measures to procure from the Bishop of
the diocese Mr.. Doherty's expulsion from the
pastoral office, or at least q removal from the
pastoral relation to the church in that town.
The friends of Doherty attempted to create
disturbance, but a leader was promptly arrested
by the police and taken to prison, after which
the meeting was more quiet. Resolutions were
passed, condemning as false statement of the
case which was made to the society by Mr. Do
herty the day before, and asking his expulsion
by the Bishop. A committee of six was APP
pointed to proceed to Boston, to wait upon the
Bishop for that purpose. -
In reference to this case the Springfield Post
publishes the following document:
