THE ANGLICAN SYNOD.
(per press association)
Namier, February 4.
At the general Synod to-day there was lively discussion on the motion of tho Rev Beatty that all parishes should make up their accounts for the same financial year ending March 31st.
A number of amendments were moved, but all were lost, and ultimately the motion was lost also.
A cordial vote of thanks was passed to the Bishop of Waiapu for attending the jubilee of the Board of Missions of Australia and his report on the same. The evening sitting was devoted to Rev. Tanner’s motion to give women votes at a parish meeting. Ho urged that women did most of the parish work, and it was but justice to enfranchise them ; and he pointed out that the Synods of Dunedin, and Wellington, had passed resolutions in favor of such a reform.
Bishop Julius and Dean Hovell were prominent among the supporters of the motion.
Dean Fitchett, Rev Beatty, Canon driver, Archdeacon Cholmondcley, Archdeacon Fancomt and the Rev. M’Murray were among the opponents. Tho motion was lost by a narrow majority, the voting being—Ayes : bishops 3, clergy 10, laity 11. Noes : bishops 3, clergy 10, laity 7.
