Denton and Haughton Examiner, etc. — 1888-04-21 (Denton, Greater Manchester, England)

THE ST. PAUL'S REREDOS.  The following memorial has been circulated by the Church Association throughout the Diocese of London :—" To the Right Hon. and Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of London, D.D.,—The memorial of the undersigned members of the Church of England, resident within the Diocese of London, showeth That a large crucifix and an image of the Madonna have been set up recently over the table of the Lord in St. Penn Cathedral. That such images so placed were worthipped by our English forefathers, but are denounced by the Homilies of the Church of England as being . lying images,' and their worship as being distinctively Romish ' by the 22nd Article. That such images were at the Reformation removed by authority from our English churches, while quite recently faculties for their removal have been granted by the Ecclesiastical Courts, and faculties have been refused for their erection. That your memorialists are advised that this particular erection at St. Paul's is illegal, while it is especially obnoxious as being erected in the mother church of the diocese in which the humblest worshipper may justly claim, as of right, that no graven image should be thrust upon his attention, more particularly in contrast and competition with that memorial of the sacrifice of the death of Christ, which Christ Himself ordained for its 'remembrance.' That the private discretion of a small body like the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's should be subject to correction, when their privileged position has been abused for the purpose of introducing graven images into the noblest national temple of your diocese. Your memorialists therefore pray that, as visitor, your lordship will transmit to the archbishop the representation , made to you under the Public Worship Regulation Act, 1874, with a view to the obtaining of a judicial decision upon a matter affecting deeply every diocese, not only in this country, but in each of our colonies." The following names have been appended The Marquis of Exeter (Hereditary Grand Almoner), the Earl of Seafield, Viscount Wolseley, Lord Grimthorpe (Chancellor I of the Diocese of York), the Countess of Seafield, Lord I Claud John Hamilton, M.P., Lord Robert Montagu, Viscount Pollington, Admiral Sir F. Leopold M'Clintock, Major-General Sir Charles Palliser, K.C.8., Sir S. Arthur Blackwood, K.C.8., Sir John Coode, K.C.M.G., Sir W. T. Charley, Q.C. (Common Serjeant), Hon. H. , Dudley Ryder, Mr. Robert Barclay, Mr. F. A Bevan, Mr. E. C. Boville, Mr. Isaac Braithwaite, Captain Cobham, Captain Cundy, Mr. John Deacon, Mr. James Maden Holt, Mr. James Houldsworth, Rev. Gordon Calthrop, Rev. E. A. Stuart, Rev. J. G. Tanner.  HOW TO Sore MONEY IS a question all are interested in; too many save at a sacrifice of health and home comforts. The daily increasing demand for Horniman's Tea—strong, rich, ddicious—proves beyond all else that the Public know that pure tea is the best and cheapest. AT the Dublin Commission, before Mr. Justice Andrews, Wm. Lawlor, aged 24, was tried for murdering his wile on the 12th ult., in Wood-street. They were living apart, having quarrelled, because she worked at shoemaking for her father. Having on the date in question induced her to return home, he attacked her on the way with a shoemaker's knife, inflicting several wounds, and then went back to the house where she had been drinking tea, and confessed that he had murdered her. The jury found the prisoner guilty after brief deliberation, and Judge Andrews sentenced him to be hanged on May 9th. He received the sentence with composure. Corcaoo has now produced the dreaded female prize-fighter—Annie Bumeck by name. She declares herself able and willing to meet any other living woman in a 24 foot ring.
