peal of Allcroft and others. against de-
cision of the Bishop of London. and has
been q subject OF great interest to church
men and others since the litigation was
commenced in 1888. The question raised
was as to the legality of the figures in the
reredos or wall at the back of the altar of

appellants being that the sculptured hg-

of devotion. The decision sustains the
Bishop. who held that this contention was
not we'll founded and consequently insures
the retention of the figures in the reredos.
