Evidence was also introduced
showing that the BISHOPS courts Of
the Church exercise judicial func-
tons 20 the extent Cf rendering judg-
mcnts and annuLing or modifying
Judgments rendered 10y the civil
courts. Ii is contended, however,
that they have no power Of enfOrc-
ing their Judgments except 10y ex-
| communication or other like means.
This is perhaps true, but with n pcO-
