how much pecuniary compensation he

Interesting Case In Court.
An interesting case came up to-day in
the Common Pleas Court, upon the
application of John Wynn foran injunc-
tion against Rev. .Jamas o. o Reilly, pas
tor of the st. Francis deSalcS Catholic
Church., to restrain the latter from in
trrfaring with the burial Of the body of
Mrs. Mary Wynn, the wife of the plain
tifr, in the st. Francis De Sales cemetery
at this place. 1t appears that the family
of Mrs. WYNN own lot in that cemc-
terry in which they desired to bury her,
but after the preparations for the burial
had been made, Wynn was notified by
Father q Reilly that he would oppose it,
if Unnecessary, BY force. The remains were
deposited tenn porarily in vault in For
est Cemetery where they now are, and
Wynn applied for injunction TO prevent
interference with the intcrment.
Father OReilly in answer sets forth
that the cemetery is under the control
of the Bishop of the Diocese of Cleveland
and the rules ofthe Catholic Church make
it obligatory upon the Bishop, or his
representative, and refuse to permit to be
inferred therein any persons of whomthe
full proof membership is not found, and
that they died in full communion; that
Mrs. Wynn had for long time prior t"
her deccasc ceased to be member OF the
Roman Catholic Church, and died out of
communion. Decision was reserved.
