The court upheld removing the crucifix and related raised images citing lack of faculty. It advised maintaining liberty on sacred representations with cautious ordinary oversight and reversed certain costs, noting the two hour twenty minute judgment delivery.
The Daily Express attacks the ruling on Ornaments Rubric as misinterpretation aimed at overturning plain law. It argues the court’s decision inflames a tense religious dispute, inviting further prosecutions while showing bias against the High-Church school.
A circulating declaration by Rev C. S. Grueber of the English Church Union protests an alleged unconstitutional move by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council to repeal the Ornaments Rubric and undermine Reformation principles of the Church of England. The document aims to gather signatures.
The text defends the Church of England’s Reformation as primitive Catholic teaching and condemns a Judicial Committee interpretation of the Ornaments Rubric as an attack on the Prayer Book. It cites the Savoy Conference and argues that departing from primitive custom and Catholic usage violates the Reformation principle and church law.
The Record notes broad evangelical approval of the judgment with dispute only over the eastward position. Eleven of twelve points favored the Evangelicals as they banish sacrificial vestments, condemn the crucifix, and deem wafers illegal. The Privy Council requires clear proof on sight of rites and ministers.
The Times notes the ruling on Ritualist questions is the most important yet issued. It condemns Ritualist vestments though upholds limited clerical liberty on core issues. Tooth’s Hatcham action and peaceable resolution efforts draw mixed reactions from papers and church groups.

It notes acquittal for Ai Ledale on eastward position but indicates the Privy Council condemns the symbolised doctrine. Clergy must conform or face force as Ritualism is banished to protect the national church.
