KUMARA.
Saturday.
Rev. J. N. Russell has written a strong letter to the Hokitika Star supporting the Kumara Times, in which he says " Upon Friday, March Bth, I heard Father Hennebeny that night; he declared that 'any marriage celebrated by a nonCatholio minister between a Catholic and non-Catholic was null and void. He asserted that marrying by a registrar was no marriage at all.' He said that ' any Catholic marrying a non-Catholic without a dispensation from the Catholic church, and dying in that state, would go straight to hell." lam prepared to take an oath that these words were used, and numbers I can mention would do the same." He has since received a threatening letter signed " Snake in the grass."
