§ SIR J. JARDINEI beg to ask the Secretary of State for India whether he is aware that an inquiry was hold last month at the Government Secretariat in Bombay by the Bishops of Calcutta, Madras, Lucknow, and Travancore, as regards certain matters of doctrine and ritual in dispute between the Bishop of Bombay and certain clerks in holy orders in which counsel were heard; and whether he can state if the assembly of bishops sat as a court having jurisdiction to pass binding decisions or merely as a council of the Church or as arbitrators by consent of parties?
§ MR. MORLEYI have no knowledge of the inquiry referred to in this Question.
