The Church Discipline Act , with Notices of the chief Decisions thereon . B y Mr . CHARLES ECAN . London : Wildy and Sons . WE can recommend this legal digest most cordially to the consideration of such members of the Craft as are clerics , to whom the information it contains is all-important , inasmuch as very few are aware of the stringent clauses of the Act 3 & 4 Vict . c . 86 .
