2. Roman Catholic Manifesto.

• 30th April.—Special Article, 25 inches, "Rival Versions," defending the accuracy of the passages in the Authorised Version to which the Roman Catholic Bishops took exception, and pointing out that the Roman Catholic version in these passages is inconsistent with itself. Article concluded: "The point as taken by the Bishops does not appear to be a strong page 4 one, for among the Vulgate versions themselves there are more serious discrepancies than there are between the Rheims and the Authorised Version in the sole example they have chosen for illustration."
• So far as the Post is aware, no other paper in the colony defended L the "Protestant version" against the criticisms of the manifesto.
