10th of April, 1853, obtained leave to go on shore from
the First-Lieutenant, when he remained on shore five
days, instead of returning at the expiration of his leave ;
and that he shortly after was detected in the attempt to
go on shore without leave, for which offence he was
placed under arrest by the said First-Lieutenant." Com-

THE ARREST OF TWO ROMAN CATHOLIC
BISHOPS.

„1

BIRMINGHAM, Friday.—Since the arilVal of Dr. Ulla-
thorne and Dr. Moore, at Warwick Gaol they have
been visited by many of the Catholic gentry and clergy
of the district. The bishop has issued an address to the
clergy under his jurisdiction, in which he explains the
circumstances that led to his and Dr. Moore's arrest.
He says :—During the administration of my predeces-
sor, the late Right Rev. Dr. Walsh, the late Charles
Brown Mostyn, Esq., was desirous of adding to the
endowment of the mission at Radford, in the immediate
vicinity of his residence at Kiddington, in Oxfordshire.
For that purpose he gave 80 shares in the Monmouth-
shire and Glamorgansiiire Banking Company, and•trans-
ferred them into the names of the Right Rev. Dr.
Walsh, then vials* apostolic of the central district, and
the Right Rev. Dr. Wiseman, then President of St. Mary's
College at Oscott, and, by a formal deed of trust, he ap-
pointed that their successors in those offices, for the time
being. should always be the holders of these shares in
trust for the Radford mission. On my succeeding Dr.
Walsh as vicar apostolic, I also succeeded to the trust,
together with the Rev. Dr. Moore, the succeeding presi-
dent of Oscott, but, as is obvious, without taking, any
beneficial interest whatever in the shares in question ;
and when, some time afterwards, a call of 31. per share
was made on the shareholders, we were obliged to de-
cline paying it, having no funds for the purpose, and the
clergyman of the mission himself procured the money,
which amounted to 2401. In the autumn of 1851 the
engagement to pay
company became bankrupt to a very large amount, for
which we were liable jointly with the other shareholders.
