A curious instance of the loose way in which some

of the Ritual- ist Churchwardens gave evidence before the Ritual Commission has been exposed in the Holborn, St. Pancras, and Bloomsbury Journal, by the Rev. A. J. Ross, the lecturer of St. Andrew's, Holborn. Mr. Spiller, the Churchwarden of St. Alban's, stated positively, on his own knowledge, that there were not more than a dozen communicants in St. Andrew's,—his object being, of course, to exalt the Ritualist Church at the expense of the Broad Church. Mr. Ross says that the average is more nearly 110 than 12,—while on one day they have had 200. Mr. Spiller, perhaps, drops his "oughts."
