EXCOMMUNICATIONS. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) LONDON, October 13. There has been an extraordinary sequel to an award of the Anglican Consistory Court at Durham last week, which ordered the removal of certain articles, from- a church of which six hundred parishioners had complained on the ground that they were Romanist. The Rev. E .A. Merry^weather, from the pulpit of the Pelton Church, Chesterlee Street, on Sunday announced, the excommunication of two men and one woman who gave evidence at the Consistory Court. Rev. Merry weather said : “We cannot go on being disturbed by these Godless people. I shall expell them from the Congregation for three years and shall ask all Christian people to treat them as heathens and publicans. They are denied aii the rights and privileges of the sacraments of the church.”
