Ruling on Crucifix and Stations of the Cross in Church Decoration
Lord Penzance warns that a crucifix and fourteen Stations of the Cross, installed as architectural features, risk fostering idolatrous or superstitious reverence. The court orders removal of the Stations and finds the crucifix likely to provoke worship, while weighing concerns for decor against Reformation principles.

Saint Peter's Folkestone Service Reports Judgment Status
The article details Sunday services at St. Peter's Folkestone led by Mr. Ridsdale with communion and morning prayer, noting vestments, small attendance, and a brief sermon on the Gospel. It mentions wind and snow likely kept worshippers away, no public judgment notice posted, and that the impending judgment was not yet authorised by the Quenin Council, leaving it not operative.

Cardinal Ledochowski Freed and Berlin Meeting Postponed
A Ostrowo dispatch says Cardinal Ledochowski was freed and, with officials, traveled toward Breslau. He warned he would be interned if entering Silesia or Posen and later arrived in Berlin as a guest of Prince Radziwill before heading to Prague. A Reichensperger pamphlet urges restoring peace via constitutional reforms, Vatican talks, and church state separation.
