 AT THE AFTERNOON SESSION.
 At the afternoon session of the con-
 vention is was voted to authorize the
 trustees of donations and bequests,
 on the petition of Christ church and
 Trinity church of this city, to transfer
 to Christ church the title to it's prop
 erty so that the parish might again con-
 trol its own property.
 Judge A. Heaton Robertson presented
 the petition, and made speech in favor
 of it.. Attorney Charles E. Graves and Attorney Charles E. Fowler also spoke favoring the petition. Rev. MT. Lines strenuously opposed the granting of the petition on the ground that it would be establishing a bad precedent, which might in the future lead to evil re- suits.
 His opposition was overruled by the convention. who voted in favor of the petition by large majority. Trinity church has an interest in Christ church property, as it loaned $1 1000 to it in 1885, This is the first time that any action of this kind has been taken in the his tory of the, diocese, and is considered to be an unusual proceeding.

D., of Stamford, Samuel Hart, D. D., of Hartford, Edwin S. Lines of New Ha- ven, Henry M. sherman and Richard H. Nelson
 On motion of Gen W. W. Skiddy of Stamford it was resolved that no print ed matter of any kind, except it be au- thorized by the secretary of the con ton, be allowed, used or recognized by the convention. This resolution made all the printed ballots null and void.
