CONFESSIONAL SECRETS.
A HIGH CHtRCH RECTOR ORDERED
TO DfyULGE THEM IN COURT.

a Departure Trom the Unwritten Law OF
England-Severai Priests Declare That
They Would Not Have Obeyed the Court.
LONDON, Aug. 2--Priestly circles are
considerably agitated over ruling just
made by Sir Frederick Jeunc, Chief Justice
OF the Court OF Probate and Divorce, 10 the
effect that minister of the Gospel has no
right TO plead privilege when asked to
state in court the substance of confiden-
tial copmunication made to him in his
sacred capacity by one OF his parlshioners.
Hitherto it has been the unwritten law
OF England, rs well rs OF many many other
countries that divine shall not he COM
PEELED TO disclose such communications and
in cases which occur almost weekly Roman
Catholic priests are excused from disclosing
statements made to them under the sane
THY OF the confessional
In the case in court the divine belonged
TO the high ceurch branch OF the Episco-
pal denomination, and was in the habit OF
hearing confessions. The court, however,
compelled him TO disclose the information
that had been made TO him.
Several Catholic priests who have been
interviewed concerning the decision declare
that they would go TO prison for contempt
OF court rather than reveal the secrets ut
the confessional on the witness stand.

FREEDOM OF THE PRESS.
A New England Judge Defines Publishers
Rights.

BosroS, Aug. 2.-Somc interesting
points concerning publishers rights are
settled by Judge Colt OF the Circuit Court
Of the United States in an opinion sent
down in the case of Emily A. Corliss ct al
VS.. +. w. Walker ct al.
The suit was brought by the widow and
children of George ii. Corliss to enjoin
the defendants from publishing and sell
ing biography sketch of Mr.. Corliss, and
from printing and selling his picture in
connection Herewith. The bill does not
allege that the publication contains any
thing scandalous, libellous or false, or that
1t affects any right of property, but the re-
lief prayed for Is put upon the novel ground
that such publication is an injury to the
feelings of the plaintiffs and against their
express prohibition. The judge says, in
part
IL cannot assent to the proposition that
Mr.. Corliss WAS private character. lie
had hired himself out TO the public as an
inventor, and his reputation became worfd-
wide. He was public man in the same
sense rs authors or artists are public men.
10 would be remarkable exception TO the
liberty of the press if the lives of great in
ventors could not be given to the public
without their own consent while living or
the approval OF their families when dead.
But whether Mr. Corliss is TO he regarded
as private or public character "a distinc-
tion often difficult to deiine) is not import
ant n this case.
Freedom OF speech and Of the press Is
secured by the Constitution of the United
States and the constitutions of most OF the
States Under our laws one can speak and
publish what he desires, provided he COM
mits no offense against public morals or
private reputation.
"ihis matter directly concerns the exclu-
sive right of property which the plaintiffs
have in the painting aud photograph, and
it would be violation of confidence or a
breach OF contract between the parties to
permit the defendants, under these cir
circumstances, to use either of the plates.
''The injunction is denied US TO the uss
of either OF the plates

time is at the request of the Presi-

The Presidents message TO Congress, it
is understood here. will deal solely with
the financial question, all other questions
being left for subsequent communications
