scandal given by their bad example BY
doing penance publicly in white

one which was the offender. The last
time that public penance was done In

evening. July 80. 1882 when man
named Hartree. in the church OF An
Saints. East Clevetion. made an open
confession OF immortality and promised
to perform the penance thus imposed
on him by the vicar. No white sheet
was used on this occasion. The last
case in which one was used appears to
have been one In ST Bridget's church.
