CHURCH AND STATE IN MALTA.
VATICAN CLAIM REFUSED BY GOVERNMENT.
Malta, Feb. 3.
The veil of secrecy with regard to reports that police proceedings under the Post Office law against Father Carte had been stayed owing to the intervention of the Vatican has been lifted by the tabling in the Legislative Assemb ly this afternoon of a lengthy cor- respondence which passed between Sir T. Bartolo, then acting Pre- mier, and the locum tenens of the Archbishop.
The fact is disclosed that there really was an attempt by the ecclesiastical authorities to inter- fere in the normal course of jus- tice, which claim was however, resisted by the Government. The [locum tenens opened the question by informing the Government of an order received from the Arch- bishop, then in Rome, withdrawing the permission to proceed against Father Carta.
Sir T. Bartolo replied that the intention of the Government to proceed against Father Carta had been communicated to the Arch- bishop as a matter of dutiful de- ference and not in order to obtain his Grace's permission for the in- stitution of proceedings. He' re- gretted that the Government was unable to admit the claim, put for ward for the first time, that the permission of the ccclesiastical authorities was necessary for the, prosecution of ecclesiastics; for offences affecting public order, as this would once again confer on the latter immunity. a privilege abolished by law more than a cen- tury ago. The. claim would in- volve a surrender of the funda- mental principles governing his Majesty's subjects in every part of his Majesty's dominions.
[Proccedings were taken against Father Carta for posting letters direct on board an Italian ship.)

Mrs. Elizabeth Bethune Campbell, of Toronto, the first woman appel- lant to plead in person before the highest judicial 'court in the Em- pire, appeared before the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council on Feb. 2.

D. Hogg. and the Toronto General Trusts Corpora- tion. The question to be deter- mined was stated to be one of trusteeship in reference to the estate of Mrs. Campbell's mother.
Mrs. Campbell, who has had no training as a lawyer, has been in London since August reading both at the British Museum and in the library at the Privy Council in preparation for her appeal..
The Judges were Lords Blanes- burgh, Warrington, and Russell of Killowen.
The only legal representatives in Court were those for the res- pondents: Mr. Ronald Smith for Mr. Hogg, and Mr. Frank Gahan for the Toronto General Trusts Corporation.
Mrs. Campbell, standing alone, proceeded to state the grounds of her appeal, and quoted readily from statutes as to the Court's jurisdiction.
Lord Blanesburgh, looking up, observed, "Yes, you have read it quite correctly. Now we have our jurisdiction."
The hearing was adjourned.
