|_PER PRESS ASSOCIATION.] WELLINGTON, Sept 12. At the annual session of the Church of England Diocesan Synod, the President, the Bishop of Wellington, in his opening address, said he could not but regard the present Education system but as one likely in years to come to be prejudical to the -'nterests of the Colony. He condemned the Act of Parliament which legalised marriage with a Deceased Wife’s Sister, and no clergyman in the district would celebrate the ceremony. In fact one clergyman had consulted him recently as to such marriage and he had advised him not to solemnize it.
