DECEASED WIFE'S SISTER
CANONS OF THE CHURCH.
(Received Last Night, 11.15 o'clock.)
LONDON, July I. The Bishop of Oxford, in a letter discussing the Banister-Thompson case, said that the Church law treated a marriage with a deceased, wife's mstnr as incestuous. "Canon 109," the Bishop said, "required us to refuse communion to those contracting it, and since the power to determine the conditions of communion belong to the Church alone, our duty is to abide liy the principle and face the consequences."
