Sympathising with her distresses , he gave her some silver from his pocket , recommending her immediately to go towards Islington , -where
she resided , and hope for some better chang * of fortune . At this moment she pressed , as he now remembered , very close to his person , when a man suddenly made his appearance , and inquired , in a bullying tone of the prosecutor , " What are you doing with that woman ? " To which he replied , ' "'Nothing / ' when the prisoners , both taking different directions , walked away , and in the next two or three minutes prosecutor discovered that jiis purse , -with its valuable contents , which he had felt safe in bis trousers ? pocket while conversing witii the woman , was gone .

The Ceiu11ch Militant. St. Paui/S Church...
THE CEIU 11 CH MILITANT . St . Paui / s Church , Knightsbridge , is often more before the public eye than St . Paul ' s Cathedral . Not very long ago there was a furious contest about the appointment of a churchwarden who was orthodox , in the Low Church sense of the term , and who was re-established in his office with renewed zeal for putting an end to the Popish practices which the Rev . Mr . Liddell left to the decision of Ins congregation , and about which the Bishop of London could not interfere . The battle has been renewed on the vexed question of " Intoning . " Mr . Liddell yielded , like a constitutional Englishman , to a majority desiring its discontinuance . Two of his curates who
place priests far above citizens , resigned . The laity of the church took the matter into their own hands . It seems that for three months St . Paul ' s has been beset by a number of persons , principally youths and girls from the purlieus of St . Barnabas , and members of that and other tractarian congregations , who , under the leadership of a youth named Fitzroy ( said to be a member of the Collegiate School at Durham ) , have persisted in chanting or intoning the Litany , in defiance of the expressed wish of the incumbent , the orders and advice of the bishop , and the rubrics and practices of the Church of England . Their mode of action is as follows : —They assemble before the church doors are open and
rush into the church , occupy the most prominent places of the free seats , which , from then- proximity to the choir , afford them the best chances of most effectually impeding the latter in the discharge of their duty . When the curate commences reading the Litany , ¦ which he does in a monotone , and the choir attempts to respond , these self-styled choraliats burst in by chanting , and thus overwhelm the choir , causing confusion , dismay , and disorder * To prevent this , Mr . Liddell ordered the choir T when so interrupted , to discontinue the responses , and thus the perpetrators of these discreditable acts have had it all their own way . Not content with this , the follow ^ ing advertisements have appeared in various
newspapers : — " St . Paul ' s , Rnightsbkidge . —Fuli , Cathedral Service on Sundats , at 11 . —On Wednesday ( Feast of St . Luke ) the Litany will be chanted by the choir-Churchmen , assist those struggling for their rights by your presence ., ' I have said that the priests read the Litany , and a miserable effect the reading has , contrasted with the full body of sound arising from so many voices chanting the responses in vinison . The great majority of the people from the first took up tho chanted response —long may they continue to do so , in spite of the deplorable timidity of the Bishop of London , and the opposition of the purifying committee of Protestant champions . '"
Mr . Liddeli does not interfere ; the churchwardens become , active . Wlien the curate commenced reading the Litany , the choir responded , when the choralists again interrupted in such a manner as to produce such confusion and discord as to induce a number of persons in the congregation to leave their places , and retire in disgust from the church . The churchwarden now felt lie was bound to interfere . He accordingly left his pew , and went up to Mr . Fitaroy ' s , the " Hon . Sec . " of these disturbers , and stated that unless he discontinued this
disgraceful interruption ho would have him removed . This produced no effect , and Mr . Westerton called upon the beadle to remove him . Having fetched his constable ' s staff he proceeded to do so , but Mr . Fitzroy having left his place , retreated higher up the pew , and placed two of his friends between himself nnd the oificor ; ho was allowed to remain , having promised Mr . Westerton not to interfere again . Tho service , which had been continued during this disgraceful interruption , was then carried on to its close without any further interference by tho choralists .
Groat indignation , of course , among all parties in the congregation ; and matters axo not let to rest . Shortly after tho conclusion of tho service Mr . Fitzroy and two of his youthful companions waited on Mr . Wcstorton , and having no curds , wrote thoir names and addresses , which wore as follow : —Richard l $ ullock r Esq ., 60 , Wilton-crescent ; Edward Jackson , tliu same address ; and Ernest Fitzroy , Kaq ., 5 , Eaton-placu South , Tho latter stated his object in oaljling wan to know whether Mr . Westerton was going ; to prosecute for brawling in tho church j and on tho latter Mtating bucIi was liifl intention , Mr . Fltxroy asked whether ho Wis going to proceed against Mr . Bullock ? Mr , Wctitortore siud ho had no intention of doing so , when Mr . Fitzroy repliod that , as that wa » tlio caao , Mr . 1 hillock would take out a warrant against tho clutrchwardon for nn assault .
Accordingly Mr . Fitzroy applied to tho mag istrate ut Westminster polico-court for a summons against Mr . Westcrton for assault . Tho magistrate argued very learnedly that it was a mattor for tlio Ecclo-Hiastical Couirt , which ailono hud cognizance of « H •« brawling" in churches i but on being much pressed by tho outraged npplioant , granted tho summons , which stands for next week .
