TO TILE EDITOR OF TBE SON.

,

• Seas—Ever since the particulars have ben made riutAtc
of the above disexaceful outrage committed open .Ittintitisly,)
and a grost insult by • a Bishop of the 114,
Protestant Christian Church, I have waited with anxieles
. wishes that some, if not the whole of the frateiniw GC!'
Bishops would come • forward with a peace-offering to snake
every reparation to the above victim, and that cf -the leool!
things of this life, which they have got iti.abteidance. Ciive
tne leave to say, Mr. Editor, that the neglect of ietriblitiVel
Justice in the Protestant Priesthood has heeneguallth., if nos
ceeded, by the persons who took-an active part in, the Cottz4i-ti.nge:
scourßiarg, imprisoning, and mentally toettering, With
,the threate
of the renewed laSh arid eterital itteareeraiimfof the etrepi4.,,
stest,,TtiomAs•BruNE! who waisid not sign his name teralie;
a flaming lie, to. declare himself guilty of-* lie, and Bishop
Jocelyn to be innocent of` Sodomy—the pain and feareof death
could not preVail, but to obtain a trininph ta'the '• The
Tempter, as in the case of Job, not only used the influence of-,
the wife, but , also the more powerful appeal—the tears, of
his innocent children !! ! This was a trial mare• than
human nature could stand, and poor BYRNE in .aneuinle
signed his name to a lie,--not his lie, but the lie pf eliia •
tormentors ; and for which, he and his innocent family hane
ever since suffered not only mentally and personally but•th their •
character ! It is now, Mr. Editor, left to a British Fubliceaaby
a letter which I have just received from Ireland the Irish have
neglected their duty, as appears by the following'extiact
" Arteust 8.-1 have seen BYRNE this morning, and am '
concerned to find that his idea corresponds with ;yours, ;of .
being entirely abandoned by hiS advocates; one of whom
is now dead. He insists that the Mayor took from him,
and kept, two letters from Leonard, to persuade him to silence,
concerning the fact, • and that it was. a MISTAkE of ,his
attorney to say, lie could not find Leonard, for he always ,
knew where he was, but never intended to call as evidence,
a 'person reared in the Bishcp's family ; but why Counsel, it •
properly instructed, did not insist on his examination as te
what letters he had written to BYRNE, I do not see. ,
sends you his most grateful thanks for the M., and will zee •
knowledge the receipt of it in ecrrick's Morizing Posn•--, •
There has been a trifling* collection made here, to which I
added my pound ; but, on coming to town, do not find the total
much more than you sent him through me."
1, therefore, beg leave, through the medium of your paper,
to call a meeting on Monday next, at the White Lion .Public
House, St. Alban's-place, St..Th»es's-street, kept by the honest '
man. Lea, through whose intrepidity and abhorrenceof ftishope
Jocelyn's abominable propensities,the-publicls indebted a pot
only indebted to him for his courage in exposing, the mfersd
monster, but to his integrity for having repeal,. tiSzny terrain:
knowledge, an enorinoee eum,Of motley, to purchase hiseonnie
vance or silence. The upper aparttnents of Leaks ; house are,:
sufficiently commodious for the piirpose, and Will; with a
number of Gentlemen, attend there at seven o'clock, on MOn-
day evening, the 19th instant, when the Chair will be taken,
and in die mean time I will be happy to receive any sub-
scriptions, however small, for the benelitUf poor BYRNE and
his numerous family, who were in want of common necessaries
before the detection and exposure of his persecutor the wicked .
Bishop.—l therefore trust that you will, with your usual liber-
ality, communicate this to your Readers,
.appealing to &nip
assist in this work, not only of charity but of retribution to poor -
Berner:: and his numerous family. e • .• .
