the borrower should expended, or should

OF MS own private means, and that the re-
Payment OF the loan should be secured by
mortgage or the bond of three solvent
persons. The terms of repayment are
extremely easy. Thisty-five annual in

each hundred pounds of loan. We regard

as one that is extremely evident. Without
naming either priest or Catholic, the meas

subsidy on the Irish Catholic priests. It
offers to build house and find a plebe for
the priest who will consent to have them.
