END OF THE DISESTABLISHMENT…
END OF THE DISESTABLISH- MENT DEBATE. THE MEASURE PASSES ITS SECOND READING. AN INCREASED DISESTABLISH- MENT MAJORITY. Ir. the House o; Commons en Monday night I' th. debate on tlx- motion for the second read- wig of the Bill for the Disestablishment and Di.=ei;dowmeut of the -Established Church in V> aies Monmouthshne wa»•. resumed. ¡' Sir JOHN GOH3T ,C.. Cambridge L'niver- sity), cc>ntinuin«j his speecli. which was inter- rupted on Thursday Iswt by the arrival of midnight, said the true pr.-iciple upon wnich l'a.rliarutc"C!t should prooee ca the q^e^tion of I d'uifh property was that embodied m the jT -cT Act of 1844, which gave N'>nconformist bod ids t/te right 'o their own chapeiL- and tii all these <iue»tk>m of endowment prescription should, in the absence of all other evidence, give a title to the property. And by tt.t Figbj of prescrip'-ion tie Foperty .now pro po^ed to he taken from the Church had bPÆ11 held for more than two centuries, and effec- tively used for thejnvrpo&eB for which it Tva» or^gu.aily givtn. The Church waa an eccle- siastical corporation, holding on trust thu pro- perty for the people beneficially interested— Church at lartp. These fu-i(I-t were grwitc4 fo_> tpiritrial and tl aritable purposes, and he idtogeiher de.Tined the moral right of Parlia- rrisit to devote these funds to quite other P'-Tpo!?e= ffc reigrettfcd fch;t Parliament shockl be occupied in this ,vork of destruction dii*9cted against an .nstitntion which had done food -flea-vice in +he pas', and was full of immense possii'nhties tor tho future well-being oi the people. (Cheers.) j Mr. BRxOE (President of 'the Foard of Trade) refeircd to Mr. PIunbet's speech, and maintained from the report- of the Commis- ¡ sioners of 1876 thai under the Iri*h Chuivh Act, the compcnsatiosi awarded to e urates* led to many abuses, oompenjntion l^mg- in many iiistances awardwi Iwice over. The report of that Commission fully justitied the l5overn- ment m not entering1 again on tha slippery compt^ation path. (Hear, hear.) The Dis- establishment of the Welsh Cbmfh was justified on, similar grounds to tho?e upon which the Irish to thCh"e upon which the Irish • legislation was justified. Eti'inrv the Church was the Church of tee few. and regarded as a poli j bical mytirfijon, and Disestablishmt nt was de- mandeil by n proportionately larger amount of WeiKh representation khan demands! the Iridli Act. In a Constitutional Government the popular demand could noi be refused. To no '.ndtvidual <Tfntrchmati ^luld harm come from the _passing of the Bill. The. doctrine asid fi-wipline o" the Church would remain ur.- -orjehed. ami the spiritual union with the Church of Eng?ar>d would reman unimpaired. The Church af England wonld. remain, and the Bill wav no att;u*k upon that Church. So doubt many of use arguments m favour of the I Bill had a. general application, against 'hunb establishments, but no demand LehI u-i^en in England. When a, different set of cireum- stamces arose, then would ?, practical proposal have to be made for Engiajid, as for Ireland a4id for Wales, "mutatis mutandis." Cpon the question 0" eTidowmrats be 1 maintained thf right of tb+- Statv to deal with thern. and he sup- parted his contention by quotation? frcm Bishop Stubba, -hat tithe was an obligation imposed upon the laity so early as the- eighth < "-ritur v, and in the eleventh a-nd twelfthccaturjes the pay- ment of tithe bveame a district legal obligation. The State w.v: as free now as ilicu to deal with such property. Individual gifts \vere made then for the r>-»r c fit of the poortr members ol t(,e (Cn!MUT",t, and they v. ?r<» handed over in trust to the organ Nation then existing for the promotion of religious or any oth^r phila,n- tuTopic publh; object. Tc, argue from the in- tention of the Founde" they must infer that he I intended the property wh: h ha bequeathed to one Church out. of m^ny bxiause tha.t t liuroh retained -ome shred of legal privilege. T'hpy could not, however, infer that the picas founder intended that property left vo A Church when the Church and Siate were our eiiould continue 1U i*_is.ses9ioii of that Chur.-h when a totally I different state of circumstames had arisen. (Hear. hear.) He th- u ca-nia to the argument '■hat. -i,ii Established Church rras a niuro I powerful instrument than a voluntary Church j to combat irreLigkm and But there wad in the Gospels an absolute dis- claimer of any connection between the Chuicb itod the State, or of any right on the part of tiie former to secular authority. It was an ( unendowed and tmestablifhed Church, and Chriatiani-y in the early renturies overspread and overcome the world. in the time of Copsc&ntiBe it became allied with the Jf-tate. That allianoe had secuiarised the Chuioh; it hiid turned its ministers into worldly poten- tates. corrupted them i-.y richer, taught the Church and its ministers tyranny andi and hsul prevented the free tkArpicpmeyi,, of thoughOn ti e other hand, tht- State had equally suffered from an alliance with tl, I Cfcuroh, which had been the faithful source of social bitterness and persecution. (Her.r, I hear.) The experience of +he Cmted Stated I and our Colonies showed that the mflueocb of religion and its ministers was quile as great when there was no Established Church as it was in » txum+ry- where such ait institution existed. And if Ü. were a '.ime when the influence of Christianity wa<? aape- cla'ly needed to ..rteItl the tide of irreligious secularism, he believed that that lul^ t^nce was most likely to be exerted with effort if the Church did not rc-ly upon her comic"tion with thp Stare, but upon her own interest and tmffettered spiritual power. (Hear, hear.) Mr. OOSCHLN (C., Sr. Georges) said the speech of the right hem. gentleman had shown both the inadequacy of the motives for the? Disestablishment and Disendowment of the Church of W;des and the fact that the arsn;- mente in favour of the present measure wouid equally apply to the Disestablishment of the Church in England. This was, in fact, an avowed attack on the Church of Englar. l. Mr. BHYCE said that he bad expresoiy disclaimed anything of the kind Mr. GOSC-HEN said thai nine-tenths of the rifeht hon. gentleman's aigumtrit^ were directed against est-iblisiiment in gerieral, and were, therefore, as applicable to the Church of England as to the Church of Wales. They were arguments in favour of voluntaryism. fHear. hear.) The rurbt hon. member for Midlothian had, indeed, told them, on a former occasion.that the connection between the Church in England and the Churah iit W.;les was so close that oiie could not be a 1 racked without attacking the other, (Hear, hear.) The argument* by which this Bill wa? supported v.-pre very different from those on which the Disestablishment of the Church m lie?aud had been advocated. The latter measure was inti 1 ded in the interest of social -,na and national peace, but it oould not be said social peace wonki be promoted by this Bill. Re admitted that fche sacrifice of fhe Lburch of Ireland ha/1 in a great mea«?urn been ma<le in vain, but u had, at any rate, been mad» (in adequate grounds, and not as part of a of "filling up the cup" ot* the House of i^id-?. (Hear, hear.) After j dwe"ing on the fact that the Church in Wales I was, according to Nir. Gladstone, an integral j part of the Church of England, and that it •van impossible to aparate them, the right hon. jjvniifinan remarked t-har. he did not think the j purposes to which it wa." proposed to devote the property of the Church w&uld command general approval. But. !>& that as it might, he efft est of the measure would be to disorganise the CHureii of England'. ^Should they ocaeent J to disorganise any other d'»r.~ national organi- sationB, say, for instance, our fiscal system, aimply because 31 o^tt of 34 members I from a particular part of the country objected to it ? (Hear, hear.) j The Church in Wales was an active Church, and did nor require relief from her fetters, but juKt as th« f^lturch was making progresv the attack was made. S) Churehman asked for freedom. ("Hear, hear," "On," do > Mr. BRYN ROBTfR-TS (L., Flint): >es: clergymen in Bangor have proposed a scheme. (VI ear, hear.) Mr. (303CHEN said let it he tested by the general feeling of the Church. This scheme I was an alternative merely. Charges were brought again-+, the Clumh that th*-y were anxious for tho loaves and fishes, but did £ h, y ^how more anxiety than did the Non- conformists" (Hear, bear.) The Church of England was more inclusive, wider, and I moro liberal in its creed than any other- re- ligious association, and oonstibited a greaA I force again3t ignorance and Agnosticism. Orga- nised a-s an Estabbshment, uhe Church was a great powtr, and founded on the deep convic- I tion: of she people. The right horn gtntleinan I spok- of tha CThurch as a mer'#superstructure. Mr. BRYOE expiaireed that iie ►•aid the Theory of «stabiishment waa a mere super- structure. Mr. GOSCHEN said the House was dealing c with material facts and with, an institution stronger LOW in the affections cf the pecple than ever, ind. despite the efforts of the Libe, ration Society tov half a century, it would ro- <iuir«» more avguinent than 1100 yet Nh»i» used to justify iuch an attack 011 the Church, hal- lowed by the traditions of many centuries, (Ohe«rs,) Mr. BIRRELL (L.. File. W.) said that at the root of the 'hurch Establishment lay } two questions—the diaracter A r.h<» distinouve i doctrines and devotional formicaries of the I Ohupfih, Mid "i that bow fax these j docrtrines *nd fomn"ar«" represented -tiie deep- j I rooted convictions o» av.iple aticng whom' • :hm*4k jkjw .t a«4. fox whose H———Mm——aliriiilillBi— bOTsflji do waa prestrmaiiy maintained The Welsh peon!ft citteriy opposed the growing, c acerdotaliriiu, denied Church authority, and would strangle prieet!y pretensions. The gui- between the C1 urc-h and Welsh Nor toafoimiiy I was growing bioade"- and tleeper. It arose out of the two distinct, ways of iookin? at j-self'ion. truths, and not tjy the establishment j-self'ion. truths, and not hy the establishment nna endowment of one party in the great con- troversy His deliberate opinion was tha.t I tt-i Nonconformists of Wales were, discharging a solemn duty to themselves and their children in XEaking every efforts to sever- the connec- tion of the 8tato with :i Cthuich w^hose prin- ciples they could not admit. whcee authority they were compelled to repudiate, and at whose altars they could never bow. (Hear, ''lir JOHN "MOWBRAY (C., Oxford Uni- versity) said Tthat he regarded the Bill as part of an organised attack on the Church of England. The policy of overthrowing thy Church was 'uosely connected with that of disintegrating the Empire. ff was in^pcssiblo, as Mr. Gladstone had clearly t ihiown in. his unreg^nerate davs—(lau^htw) —to separate the Church in Wales from the Church in England, and he thought it an udvamtago that, the- debate bad clearly brought out the fact, tthis measure was directed against both institutions. When this was orce understood, he did not think the measure would command the support of the "predomi- nant partner." (Hear, hear.) Mr IJ. BRYNMOR JONES (L., Stroud} said that, whether it was right or wrong to n.aintam an Established Cn iroh in England, the special circvmstaaces of Wales rendered such an institution unsuitable to that country. He denied that this measure was one of rob- bery a.nd spoliation. All it proposed to do was to secure the devotion of national pro* porny to national purposts. he believed i t, if the Bill were thrown out by the House of I.ords- the triumph of its opponents would ba short-lived. (Hr-ar, hear.) Mr. BILL (C" Staffordshire) opposed the PtL-ond reading, objecting especially to the secu- larisation of property devotfd irom time im- memcriHl to religion* uses. iNlr S. SMITH (L., Flint) argued 011 the general question against Establishment that: the intrusion of the State )nt6 sacred thinga WR-: attended by nothing but evil. He. as a, Nonconformist, hoped and believed that the Bdl would be an unspeakable blessing to the Charon, fivinv; freedom from those political influences which had, in the past, m> often changed the doctrines, rites, and ceremonies of the Church. I Mr. BUCKNELL (C., Epsom) said that ri own to 1885 there was no national ^ntiment in Wales in favour of the Disestablishment and Distndow-ment of the Churrh in Wales, If this sentitrout t^as only ten year. old, surely they ought to p'iU,i;e before Di^stablisbing and Dis- endowing a. Church which had end -red for cen- turies. Thev oould not doubt that both the Church and the State would suffer from the severance of the connection between them. 'I Mr. E. J. C. MORTON" (L.. Devon port) dwelt upon th(> fact that 31 out of 34 Welsh members were in favour of the Disestablishment and Oisecdowmeut of the Church, arid con- tended that this circumstance afforded suthcient tTound for a sfiecial treatment of tti- Church I in Wales and placing it upon a footing totally different fro u that of the Church of England. There con! be no doubt that this question was fullv befoi* the Welsh electors at the last elec- tion, and that they returned their representa- fullv befoi* the Welsh electors at the last elec- tion, and that they returned their representa- tives with reference to it Mr. BALFOUR (C.. Manchester, E. who was cheered on rising, said he ahould avoid any- thing like a recapitulation of all the valid argu- ments used. He wouid briefly give the vie.vs ue long had held, which had been confirmed by the general tenor of th*» debate, and would explain simply th? leading motives that con- trolled his vote. He would not traverse tie heavy ground of Welsh statistics. He would leave that subject until the time when there was tristworihy information from which to draw useful deductions, but on this quakiag, moving bo? of interminable calculations nobody umld come to .1, final conclusion. (Hear, hear.) Neither would he dwell on the argument stated, re-stated, and reiterated, that because 31 :"Deœ- lY:rs were of one opinion and three of another, then, according to constitutional u-age, Dises- tablishment should be granted Did member? think that 31 and three was to be the per- petual proportion 1:1 the Principality? There was a possibility that some not distant e^ent might materiallj alter that proportion. (Hear, I hear.) That fraction of three might be mate- rian" altered in a comparatively small I number of months by th. rou;fh and ready method of ele' t on. But under the sv.-ti m we Itave established there was the grosse>t injustice done as to die representation of particular disfcrv.-ts. No one could doubt. that the "present state of the representation of Wales and Scotland was very unjust, to the actual state of opinion in those countries. If jus tic* was? done to the minority in Wales, a I very different proportion of members than 31 to three would come to that Housf in favour of I the Disestablishment and Dii*»ndowaieiiv of the Church from that part of the United Kingdom. He, therefce, dismissed this argument a,s un- worthy of notice (''Hear, hear," and ]»us,-hter.) He then came to the historical aigument. On that point the Prime. Minister had been trample! t nrder foot hv both the Secretary and the Under Secretary lor the Home Department—surely a most nnns..«3sary proceeding—(laughter) —and not content with that, the latter had proceeded to denounce the Erastian opinions which he nm-t havf* been aw; re were held by the leader of the House, and bad then attacked his own family. After that, the hon. ge,otleraan eat down satisfied that he h'1 i left nothing un- destroyed which the rules of the House wouid permit him to deal with on this occasion. I (Laughter.) What, however, was the practical problem before the!n? The Bill proposed to deprive the Church in Wales of all I the property which she jxxssessed before 1703. It clearly required a very strong ease to deprive I .my corporation of property w hioh it had long- posseted. Was the intention of th<s donor, even if he liv.-d 1,000 yeirs ago,, to count for. nothing? (Hear, hear.) He knew r. was said th: Jf *:he mediieval donor could have foreseen I ail that had since occurred he would not have left the property to the present Church, but lie thought it at least more likely that he would have preferred that the Church should retain Ids gift th.; ii that it should be handed over to a county council (o deal -.vith as it phased. At the same time, he must admit that it hon. gentlemen opposite thought that tht- mediajval gei.tleman would have preferred a museum, he could not offer any proof to the contrary. (Laughter.) Bite, Le that a,: it might lie, the existing Church had been in possession of •bt property for 300 years. Why should not that Ions; possession confer'7 a good title noon the Church when, under an Act passed in 1843, a possession of 25 year5 was snifcient 'to confer an niucfeasiblo utie upon a Nonconformist body? (Cheers.) There sh odd be a. strong ease, carrying oony ictiorr to every tnan who voted for tins gigantrj, cruel lesoiution. (Hoar, hear.)

All the talk of the right hon. gentleman only showed how little historical study had to do with sober, sane appre-nation of poliiical facts. (Hear, hear.) Whatever the faults | of th", Welsh Church. she was not. endowed '.nth too much wealth. The Irish Church was quoted as 1 precedent. True, the Irish Church had done good work in spite of disendowment, and .nany ». Church had risen strong and purified by per- secution. (Hear, hear.) But if that jusri- ficd spoliation, why stop there? Why not try a little burning? (Cheers and laughter.) The Church was bound, it waa said, in golden f-tters. Well, the release of a prisoner so bound might bf. thought a worthy actum, but when the liberator put the golden (hams in his pocket tire action was not above feuspiciu'! (T^aughtfr The Church oi Scotland was free to alter her terms of subscription. i "No, no.r) Yes, that.

'Hear, hear.) Not plunder, but liberty, \Œ the motive of the Bill, and the provisions of the Bill confirmed that deecriniion. With the precedent of the Iri«h Chureh the Govem- IrGlt had yet determined that the Church ii Wale:1 should have no such cha,nce as the Irish, and they doomed her to destruction by a kind (If creeping paralysis, pariah after parifcb to bedepriv;xl of endowment, and limb by limb destroyed utitil the who!.? organisation, became paralysed.

'Fhe Welsh supporters of the Bil'i asserted thar> they were driven by the existence of .the Church in 4ls present condition co^ want of charity and envy, arid they said,Destroy tlie s'umbnng-rioek, tako away tho Church-1 which arouses all these unhappy-exactions, and then every man in W<des will love bis brother, and all k*-0u=> will unite in one cemmot: religious work. He did not. however, think ti.a«t- this argiuneni: should weigh.

Ab presea t all the facts seemed to point to this tha5 thE- fJSburch was makincr 1,010b better pro- gtess than Nonconform'^v m Wales.

(Loud Opposition cheers.) Sir W. HAROOTJRT (ChanceUor of the Ex- chequer) said that he should have thought that when the right hon. gentleman was calling upon the religious communities to co-operate in one common work it might have occurred to him that- the first step towards that end would bo to place all thoeo religious bodies, without distinction, upon a common fixating, (Hear, hear.) In the historical argument? which had been used in the oourse of this debate, some events seemed to have been overlooked. One e-'ciit had disappeared; 1 hat which use'l to 1*' called the Protestant lief'jrtnation. (Hear, hear.) It seemed to be assumed that Henry VIII.. Edward "VI., Al-iiy Tudor, and Eliza- beth had never lived and reigned, that nothing import-ant had occurred ui the sixteenth cen- tury, and that the Church now existing was the same as that which existed before- the Reforma- tion. No doubt, it was the same in the sense thii.t it was tha same axe. although it had a new handle and a new blade. (Laughter.)- But all this he took to b-c lie-ode the question they had to decide that night. (Hear, hear.) The question they had then to decide was the Church in Wales and nothing else. They had not to try the general merits of establishment and endowment, but whether a better establish- ment and endowment, could with advantage he I applied to society as it now existed in Wales. I He declined altogether to be diverted from that question to the larger questions which had bveri rait-ed in the course of the debate. The light hon. gcntlemaa who had just "at down had principally relied urion the Statur3 of Limi- tations in defence of 1. right of the Church to her endowments. But what- had become of the high line taken by the right hon. gentle- man the member for BristoKSir M.Hicks-Beach), that without an Established Church a State had no religion, or of the declaratiun of f he member for Plymouth, that Diaestabiishment and Disen- dowment were national sms? He dt.o»d that an Established Church made a State more reli- I gious. Was England under Charles 11. more religious than New England, where 00 Kstab- ln hed Church existed? (Hear, hear.) Of the English race certainly two-thirds were withoiic 3.1 Established Church, but would anyone aSi^m that tht* communities in our Colonies were, less religious than the people of England? A national sin Disestablishment had been called, I but the House of Lords joined in the Disesta!> i lishment cf the Irish Church, and it W3-b carried I by Lord Salisbury and 'his party-, and the spoech of the late. Duke of Devonshire on the subject was a rcfutathm of the argument. But the right hon. gentleman had abandoned that argument, and he would leave it- Mr. BALFOUR: The right hon. gentleman must v.ot suppose I stand on every argument 1 did not repeat. (Hear, hear.) Sir W. HARCOURT said the right. har, gentleman said he v. ould not take that high groum. Bnt it- would not argue the question genen.Uy. Diaesrta.bliRit"ient and Disen- clov- m iit were mtur-dependent and in- separable but, a cliarjict.eristic of the debate had been the stress laid upon endowments the breath of life of the Chnrcit. Many Churchmen would gladly dispense with Establishment, which was of b+tle or no beneiit to the Char-ch, though it was the corrollary and condition of endowment, since the Church, I' like the Monarchy, becaniw a limited mstitiv I tion. The establishment gave certain titles of I honour, a distinctive costume for the clergy— ("Oh, oh")—and seats in Parliampnt for t.he bishops, but. beyond these things the Church gained nothing bv Establishment—endowment- was the real fighting 1):lrt of the case. It was no question of doctrine or discipline, bUt of money. ("Oh, oh,") The StatP, un- I doubtedly. had a. right to d..a1 with the pro- perty of the Church, and the Irish Church Bill I wis a precedent, and the Const*o alive party supported it ;:i the House of Lords. He rather thought. lie hon. gentleman dip member fcr North Armagh supported the plundering and confiscation I Colonel SAUNDERSON: j voted against the Disestablishment of the Irish Chinch. Sir W. HARCOURT said many members of the party opposite oupported tha t Bill, and the right hon. gentleman (Mr. Goschen) had had to explain his position that m:;1lt, H, was rlwavs sorvy for a public TilaAl when he had to explain his positi-on. (Cheers and counter cheers.) 'Hie right hon. gentleman explainer! j that he had voted for the Irish Bill ijecaus-? it was a peace offenne, a. national sacrifice, be<use I Ireland yva3 in t condition of disorder and dis- content. Would he gi <-v- a lesson to I the Welsh people that. if they were disortierly acd disooncented enough, he would make the Church a. national sacrifice? (Hear, hear.) ft was idle to question theri^-ht of th6 State to deal with endowments, for tithe was a State grant, a general obligation upon landowners, and by the State the the bad been 1 handed over to several institutions, as Christ Church College, Oxford, and Triroty College.! Cambridge. The question, however, was whether it was right, pohMc, and well, to deal in tho manner proposed by this Bill with the Chnrcli in Wales. He ventui-rd to affirm that 110 national Church should exist in a conitauiiity I like Wah* unless it represected the sentiments and opinions of a majority of th* people. Was that the ca3~ in Wale* ? The right hon. gentle- man, the leader cA t}1P Opioosition, had endes- I vcured to slio.v that no inf. rence in f&v' ur of t -is Bill oould be drawn from the fact that 31 i>ut of 34 memliers from Wales were in favour of duaestabiishmg and dis- ndoning the Church m Waiep. But did. ndowing the Church m Waiep. But did. the nj^ht hon, gentleman thinl: that the Church of England couid continue as an Establishment if 4-20 out of the 450 members tor- England were in favour of Disestablishment and Disfndowment-? (Hear, hear.) The right hon. member for Ai idlothian. speaking in 1891, had said tha.t the Welsh CI ,rch was the Church of the few aud not of the many, the Church of the rich and not, of the poor. If that werit ro there W:,s no justification for maintaining it as an Esta!>h»hment.(Hear, hear.) The leader of the Opposition, 'however, said that the opinion of Wales might be changed at the next election. But was that likely, seeing that at the last election out of 34 Unionist candidates f'-w ven- tured to declrre in favour cf the Church? He denied that du loss of h^-r endowments would bo fatal to tins influence or the activity of tha C'htn-ch in Wales. Thtj Churvh of Ireland bad, not so suffered, and in many respects that Church and the Church in Wales stood on the. í ;aine footing. (Hear, near.) The Church in I Walr-s did not represent the feelings and flie convictions of the majority of the people of I Wales, and that was the only basis on which a National Church could stand. That was 'h? only condition wfiich could justify establish- ,-ment or endownen.t. Holding -'that convio- ticm, tiie Government bad taken the responsi- bility of asking the House of Commons to I determine that night that establishment and endowment should cease to exist in Wai-s. (Cheers.) The House then divided, when there were— For the second reading 304- Against, 260 Majbrity 44 The result wa? received with loud an-i con- tinued cheers from the- Liberais. Tne Bill was then read a second time. | I THE DIVISION.

"Are you troiiig to make a herring of me? Give me a ohi-.i,ce." THE rrfE.<T"S STORY. The Rev. Cornelius F. Ryan. C.C., Drangan. deposed that the Cleatys were members of his congregation and under his spiritual charge. He never observed any signs cf mental de- rangement in Mrs. Cleary until he attended her almost immediately before her death on the 15th of March. She was then in bed. She I appeared to bo in a very nervous state, and, an he thought, possibly hysterical. On the fol- lowing morning was again ealloo to see her, but having administered the last rites of the Church on the previous occasion lie thought there was no necessity to see her so soon again, as he did rot consider her dangerously ill. He was next summoned at seven o'clock on Friday morning by Michael Cleary, who said that she had had a very bad niirht, and asked witness to ecme to the house to celebrate Mass. Witness arrived at a quarter-past eight, and celebrated arrived at a quarter-past eight, and r-elebrated Mass in the front room of the house, where the det>-ased lay in bed She was t.hen more ner- vous and excited than when he saw her on the Wednesday. Her husband and Patrick Boland were present befoce Mass Leg-an, but he could not say who was, present during its celebration. On. that occasion he had no conversation with Michael Cleary at to ny incidents ihafc had occurred Nothwith.iaudmg her wild and excited looks, Mrs. deary's conversation was coherent and intelli- gent. When leaving, witness asked Cleary was he giving his wife the medicine that the doctor had ordered, and Cleary's answer '>'St< that "he had no faith in the doctor's medicine." Witness toitl him tiiat the medicine was good, and should »>e administered. Cleary said, m and should he administered. Cleary said, III reply, "'People may have some remedy of their own t fiat would do more good than doctor's medi- cine. The District Inspector: Is it possible that yon heard nothing of tins proceeding about yon heard nothing of tins proceeding about witchcraft up to the time?—I heard nothing; j absolutely notnin*. The priest is ve-Ty often the last to hear of things like that, generally ¡ I should say. I had no suspicion of foul play or witchcraft, and if I had I should have at, once absolutely refused to sav Mass in the house and have given information to the police at once. Continuing, witness said that he next saw Cleary on Saturday morning in Drangan Chapel. He was kneeling near the aitar and appeared to be in a very ner- the aitar and appeared to be in a very ner- vous. excited state. Witness asked him into the vestry, as he was tearing his hair and behaving like a madman. He said something about going to confession, but witness did not. allow -him, as he did not think htm fit t-; do so. He seemed to be suffering from remorse for something he Lad done. He a^ked should he ever be forgiven. Witness coaxed him into the yard. Witness began to fee? afraid of him. Michael Kennedy took him away. Witness saw John Dunne ant! ( asked what it meant, and Dunne's answer, so far as he remembered, was that ''they had burned her to death last night >vad buried her." He added. I I have been asking him all the morn- ing to give her a Christian burial." Witness W3s so struck titaf, he did not remember what he replied Will you say how. that, foul crime having been revealed to you, you took no steps what- ever U- bring any of those criminals to justice I •>r 10 inform the police?—I told the police I suspected that there was foul play from some- thing Dunne had said, and that probably he wouid ba able to <rive every information.
