THE TITLE OF REVEREND-On Jan. 21 judgment was given in the case of Kest v. Smith by the Judicial Committes of the Privy Council. The question at issue was as to the legality of a Nonconformist minister using the title of "reverend" in public. The Lord Chancellor said the word reverend had been considered in the courts below in nome manner as a title of honour or of courtesy, and that the clergy of the Established Church had an exclusive right to the word, with the exception of the alergy of the Roman Catholic Church. In their Lordships idea, however, it was not a title, but only an epithet a mark of respect and reverence, but nothing more. Under those dircumstan- cos it appeared to their Lordships impossible to treat the word as a title of honour exalu- London, Feb. 19.Among the passengers sively vested in the clergy of the Church saved from the sinking of the steamer of England.
