but only in case of the final deposition
of a rector from office previous to the
consultation of the newly created coun-
Gil is it obligatory.
Second-That even if the election OF
new counsellors or judges is done in the
synod the election is merely consuita-
tive, but il the choice is made tn till a
vacancy il is becoming that the bishop
should first hear the vote of the remain
ing counsellors.
the vote ofnew counsel0rs
is always consultative, the definite de-
cision being reserved to the Bishop, but
the vote and opinion Of the counsellors
must always be inserted on the pro-
ceedings.
Fourth-That by the instructions OF
the Propaganda of July 20, 1878. the ex-
traOrdinary power of Il Bishop to sus-
pend a priest by reason OF very import
ant cause or urgent necessity, is not in
terfered with.
Ii is lawful for any Rector to bring be-
fore the Council another priest, subject
to the approval OF the Bishop, either as
his assistant or attorney. This docu-
ment is signed by Cardinal Simeoni,
Project of the Propaganda, and j. b.

Judge TbbalS made the order asked for
by the parties in interest, for the sale OF

also overruled the objection 10 the con-
solidated mortgage bonds issued just al
ter the organization, holding that the
presumption is that no road could have
sufficient accumulation from its earnings
% paw cash for the great line it had pur-
chased, and hence the issuing OF the
mortgage bonds was an inevitable step.
