DISSENTING WORSHIP IN A :CHURCHYARD.—On the
question which has been lately raised as to the lawfulness
of the Dissenting worship in the churchyard of Killdallon,
without permission of the officiating minister, the law
adviser of Her Majesty's Government in Ireland has given
the following opinion • which has been forwarded by the
Under-Secretary to the magistrate who was present on
the occasion referred to :—" I am of opinion that the
performance of the funeral service in a churchyard, by a
a Dissenting clergyman, without the permission of the
clergyman of the Established. Church, is illegal."
We make no commentary on the appended paragraph.
In the worst days of Jerusalem, if we except one horrify.
ing incident, nothing more appalling is recorded :—" Owen
Moran crept into his brother's house and died • the same
day his brother Larry was found dead in a field ; same
day, his sister, Mrs. Whelan, with her mother and child,
found dead in a deserted forge. The two brothers, the
sister, the brother-in-law and child, all died the same
day, of starvation, at Killimore, county Galway." Al-
though unwilling to withdraw attention from this melan-
choly statement, we must append the followinc, from the
Clonmel Chronicle.:—" Monday a gentleman who' resides
in the barony of Owney, and who is the nominal owner of
a fee simple property, applied to be admitted to the pri-
vilege of a pauper, by asking to be placed on the relief
lists.—Cork papev.
