SIONERS.

This overbearing eccleiastic has just been foiled in an
attempt to usurp the authority of the Poor Law Commis-
sioners. To a certain extent, it is true, he has gained his
point; but the principle he sought to establish in his favour
has not been admitted. The following correspondence will
explain the matter :

"55, Eccles-street, Aug. 19, 1858.
"Gentlemen,—Having received and accepted the resig-
nation of the Rev. Mr. O'Farrelly, late chaplain of the
South Dublin Workhouse, I have given to the Rev. L. C.
Prideaux Fox, of Golden Bridge, the necessary spiritual
faculties to discharge the duties of that office, now vacant,
and beg that you will have the necessary arrangements
made with the board of guardians for carrying the Rev. Mr.
Fox's appointment into effect.—l have, 3z.e.,
" t PAUL CULLEN, Archbishop.
" To the Commissioners of the Poor Law."
" Poor Law Commission Office, Dublin,
Aug. ?5, 1858.
" Most Reverend Sir,—The Commissioners for Adminis-
tering the Laws for the Relief of the Poor in Ireland ac-
knowledge the receipt of your letter of the 19th inst., naming
the Rev. L. C. Prideaux Fox for the office of Roman Catholic
chaplain of the workhouse of the South Dublin Union, which
is vacant through the acceptance by the commissioners of the
Rev. Mr. O'Farrelly's resignation.

" By the 49th section of the Irish Poor-law Act, a pre-
ference must be given in such cases to some Eowan
Catholic clergyman, acting as such within the parish in
which the workhouse stands' and in the present case the
Roman Catholic clergymen of the parish of St. James, in the
city of Dublin, are entitled to the preference.
"The commissioners have, however, received from the
Rev. E. Kennedy, parish priest of St. James's, a statement
to the effect that it is not practicable for one of the parochial
clergymen to undertake the office of Roman Catholic
chaplain.
" Under these circumstances the commissioners find them-
selves at liberty to adopt your recommendation of the Rev.
Mr. Fox, and will cause the necessary steps to he taken for
his appointment, learning from him that be is willing to
accept the office.—By order of the commissioners.
" B. BANKS, Chief Clerk.
"To the Most Rev. Archbishop Cullen, Eccles-street."
