[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] Sin, — In the Spectator Dr.
Percy Dearmer has given a a most interesting and useful list in tabular form of the Voting in Diocesan Conferences for ' and against the New Prayer Book. May I venture to supplement this by giving the percentages of those in fairour :=Winchester; 921; Starthwelf, 91 ; 'Blackburn, 67.49 ; Coventry, 96..3 ; South- wark, 77-57 ; BradfOrd, 84 ; York, 92 ; Durham, 89 ; Chester, 70 ; Newcastle, 90 ; Peterborough, 92.5 ; Rochester, 74'3 ; Norwich, 63.5 ; Ely, 75'6 ; Chelmsford, 94 ; GlouCester, 89 ; Edmundsbury, 89 ; Manchester, 75'6 ; Salisbury, 93'2 ; Sheffield, 83'9 ; Lincoln, 91'4 ; Canterbury, 88 ; Bath and • Wells, 93.4 ; London, 65.37 ; Lichfield, 83.9 ; Oxford, 84-6 ; Leicester, 79.9 ; Birmingham, 61.6 ; Worcester, 83.9 ; Truro, 74.7 ; Hereford, 91.3 ; Carlisle, 9213.
