of the Justice that should long since have been
measured out to them at so much foot-hemp

to the Monastery in strict silence, in order to
make the surprise great as possible. Once
arrived at the main door, the band struck up
National air, and Immediately at its conclusion
were invited into the spacious reception room
of the Monastery, where Henry Scanlon, Esq,
in brief and eloquent speech. presented the
snuff box on behalf of the Association to the
Rev. gentleman. The Prior responded in Ian
guage that eYinced the emotions of the heart
and appealed to the finer feelings of all present.

other reverend gentlemen who took so much
trouble TO make the episode pleasant one.
