under an agreement there was to be reh

longing to Mrs Lashus. 1t seems that
pastor of the Protestant Mission was moi
advised of this arrangement and al
the grave proceeded with religious
| ceremonies. Mrs. Lasous, who IS all o.
lady, at once protested that the agreement
should be kept, and it was CHARGED that sh'
created disturbance in religious m'etin,
and thus violated the statute. The att mi
at services was not persisted in and Mrs
Lsshus was brought before the court and :
small fine imposed. This is as her counsel
told it in court. Upon this statement OF
the case Mrs. Lashus was allowed to return
