PRIESTS SUIT FOR HIS sALARY.-A decision I'm
volving some points CT ecclesiastical law, In the
matter OF Twiggs' appeal, was rendered by Jus
t1ce PaXsOn, OF the Pennsylvania supreme court,
yesterday. Bishop Twggs, the appellant, OF Pitts
burg, was sued by Father Sheehan for something
over $1,000 salary claimed to be due Sheehan as an
employe OF the bishop. Sheehan, 1t seems, for
some reason or other had diSobeyed the bishop,
and not receiving his salary, had sued for Il,
alleging contract which enabled him to recover.

lower court, which was favorable to Father Shee-

no such contract relation between these parties
as will sustain this action"
