Lord Cairns delivered on Wednesday the judgment of the Privy
• Council on the appeal from the judgment of the Dean of Arches (Sir R. Phillimore) in the case of "Martin v. Mackonochie." We have explained the principles and tendency of the judgment at length elsewhere. Here we may say that, in reference to both those Ritualist practices which were not condemned by Sir R. Phillimore,—namely, kneeling during the consecration of the bread and wine, and the lighting of candles for symbolical pur- poses during the celebration,—the Judicial Committee have reversed the judgment of the Dean of the Court of Arches, and condemned Mr. Mackonochie in costs both for the original suit in the Court below and for the appeal. Moreover, the Ritualistic practices are not only condemned, but condemned on principles which prohibit. all discretional variations from the Rubric in the conduct of the Church services. We apprehend that the most earnest Romanizers will be thrown off by this judgment from the Anglican Church, and that the less earnest ones will be deterred by the risk of heavy costs from further recourse to practices now finally pronounced illegal.
