Suffragan Bishop
A suffragan bishop is a type of bishop in some Christian denominations. In the Anglican Communion, a suffragan bishop is a bishop who is subordinate to a metropolitan bishop or diocesan bishop (bishop ordinary) and so is not normally jurisdictional in their role. Suffragan bishops may be charged by a metropolitan to oversee a suffragan diocese and may be assigned to areas which do not have a cathedral of their own. In the Catholic Church, a suffragan bishop instead leads a diocese within an ecclesiastical province other than the principal diocese, the metropolitan archdiocese; the diocese led by the suffragan is called a suffragan diocese. Anglican Communion In the Anglican churches, the term applies to a bishop who is assigned responsibilities to support a diocesan bishop. For example, the Bishop of Jarrow is a suffragan to the diocesan Bishop of Durham. Suffragan bishops in the Anglican Communion are nearly identical in their role to auxiliary bishops in the Roman Catholic ...

Lloyd's Weekly Newspaper
''Lloyd's Weekly Newspaper'', called the ''Sunday News'' after 1924, was an early Sunday newspaper in the United Kingdom, launched in 1842., ceased publication in 1931. Founding Edward Lloyd launched ''Lloyd’s Weekly Newspaper'' in 1842. It was the first of three popular papers to be created for those who only had the leisure to read on Sundays.

On 16 February 1896, ''Lloyd’s Weekly'' became the only British newspaper in the nineteenth century to sell more than a million copies.

He had created titles that sounded like newspapers, such as the ''Lloyd’s Penny Sunday Times and People’s Police Gazette'', but these were a sham to avoid paying stamp duty.
