the sum of 100,000/. The deceased was very wealthy. Mr.
Raphael was the only Roman Catholic 31. P., save Mr. Moore,
of Mayo, who oppsed the Jewish claims. Some years since
he was returned for the county of Carlow-, in conjunction
with the late Mr. Vigors, but was unseated by petition. The
alleged misappropriation of the sum of 2,000/. by the late Mr.

tracted inquiry. The deceased was of Armenian extraction.
Re possessed property in Sussex, Surrey, and other English
