When he could have approached more easily and earlier a reconciliation with the Order at Cumberland, the Brothers there were forced, according to the expressed order of the Superior General, to close the doors of the monastery against him. He entered to ask of the Most Holy Pontiff absolution for his unfortunate desertion and secularization, which he has done this very hour. It is impossible for him to continue any longer. He has been punished already and has been expelled from the Order itself. He insists that the sacred vessel: 1. In no wise had been the property of the Mission; 2. he had received these gifts as personal, at the time of ordination in England, from the Rev. Father Elias, then his Superior, however, with these circumstances: 3. Father Elias had received from a certain pious individual in Antwerp, Belgium, a small vessel, one part of which was for the Blessed Sacrament for the sick; another part served to carry the oil of the infirm to them. After wards, this vessel was dedicated by the superior to the Mission. There were accidentally two small vessels in his clothes when in a movement of desperation he fled from the Mission. For in a most urgent case, he had used them the very night preceding his desertion. He did not forget these vessels in his clothing; he decided to inform his superiors and to return these vessels to the Order. He is disturbed by the accusation. L.S.
