In the present state of Ireland, the prey of hungry
Barristers and factious Priests, it is not wonderful that
we should have to recount circumstances that indicate
this joint partnership in tumult. But we have received
Irons our Will correspondent the details of a transaction
that must excite in the bosom of every Englishman,
commiseration towards the unhappy Protestants who
continue to be, as it were, the sport of a barbarian
horde cf semi.savages, and a tyrannical, cunning, and
turbulent Priesthood. Our correspondent writes, hat
should the public execration towards the perpetrators of
this vile outrage demand the name of the Clergyman
who has been the object of an attsck, worthy of the
blind hatred of jacobites. and the mad fury of a jacquery,
that he will communicate all the particulars, verified
on the affidavit of one of the most respectable and
peaceable Ministers of the Established Church in Ireland-
Oa Sunday the 30th of November, the Clergyman
above alluded to received notice from one of his Pro-
testant parishioners to attend at three o'clock in the
afternoon, to perform Divine service over the body of
his deceased uncle, at a particular chor', which was
the burying ground of the family of the deceased, who
had frequently expressed a wish to his nephew to be
buried there according to the rites of the Protestant
Church.
The Clergyman attended at the appointed hour ;
the coffin was carried into the Church, iss order that the
Desk-service, as it is termed, might be read, which was
accordingly done without the least disturbance. The
corpse was then carried out and laid in the grave, but
the Clergyman had scarcely begun to, read the prayers
over it, when a violent tumult commenced, evidently
for the purpose of preventing him from continuing the,
service. The noise and tumult were so well directed
and organized, that in a few moments he was unable to
hear even the sound of his own voice. Immediately
stones were hurled into the grave with savage violence;
and one stone, or rather rock, was of such a size that
bad pot the coffin been much stronger than those com-
monly made it would bred been broken in pieces, and
deposed to the relatives of the deceased and the sur-
rounding multitude the mangled body. The Clergy-
man still endeavoured to proceed, an universal shout
was raised, 8, Boys, here is a fine heap of stones, let
as make use of them." At this moment the Protes-
tant parishioners of the Clergvna.n :astounded him, and
forced him from this savage scene, as it was evidently
intended to molder him, if he presumed to read the
prayers of the Protestant Church in the presence of a
Popish multitude, when they bad exhibited their dis-
pleasure to these heretic words.
We beg to call the particular attention of the British
public to some circumstances connected with this fiendish
assault. When the coffin was brought into the church,
that the part of the service which the rubric orders
should be then read, not the least corfusion arose.—
And why? The law has provided a punishment for any
interruption of Divine Service inside the church. And
why was the riot commenced wisp the coffin was
lowered into the grave? because the law has not specified
soy punishment for an interruption outside the walls of
the Church. Thus it is evident the lawyer had taught the
Priest. and the Priest instructed the people, how they
midst be savages w ithout breaking the law ; and, though
offending against religion, decency, and order, they
might exhibit their detestation of Protestantism without
incurring punishment or endangering themselves.
- We shall net add another word. But what will Lord
F. LIiVLSON Gowan do?
