The case of Mrs. Gaven Ross against the Presbytery of iiuron was taken up at the meeting of the Synod in Paris last weak. The case has occupied the attention of various church courts dur- ing six years. It sprang out of certain reflections made by Rev. Henderson, pastor of the Hensall church, onthe character of Mrs. Ross who was a mem- bar. Mrs, Ross learning of these im, mediately applied for a certificate of disjunction. The session granted this, placing at the end of the certificate a clause that Mrs. Ross was freed from all charges. She objected to this and ap- pealed to the Presbytery. The Presby, tory sustained the minister. Mrs. Ross appealed to the Synod at its last meet- ing, The Presbytery was practically instructed by the Synod •to meet Mrs. Ross' desires, but they would not com- ply. The matter again came before the Synod Tuesday and although Mrs, Ross and her lawyer were present to press the matter, it was shelved. Mrs,. Ross will take it before the General As. sembly at its next meeting in Winni- peg in June, and if she fails to obtain. her demands at that highest church court she will bring a civil suit.' for damages against the pastor, Quarterly School Board Report.
