MANY MOTIONS FOR REFORM

PUBLICITY PROBLEM

A first move in the direction of altering the unsatisfactory state of affairs in regard to the Eccle- Binatical Courts is foreshadowed In motions to be put before the Church Assembly.

There arò Avg motions for dis- cussion, three under the heading "Clergy Discipline Act," the others headed "Ecclesiastical Courts."Keen discussion is ox- pected.

Canon S. E. B. Serle (Roches- ter) will mova: "That the Stand- ing Committee be requested to introduce at the next Spring Sen- slon of the Assembly à Measure 'for the Reform of the Courts Christian and that of final appeal in Ecclesiastical causes on the lines suggested by the Report of the Ecclesiastical Courts Com mission, of April, 1926."

The Archdeacon of Bodmin will) move: "That a committee be ap pointed to draw up a Measure ur the reform of the Ecclesiastical Courts on the lines of the pro- posals contained in the Report of the Ecclesiastical Court's Commis- elon."

Informed opinion tends to the that discussion on these motions will be adjourned, and that the Legal Committee will be asked

to consider the position which has arisen as the result of -advised legislation in the past. The Legal Committee probably will report on the position in law, stating what statutes could be altered to any advantage, and ultimately it is likely that a com- mittee will be appointed to draft a measure of reform.
