ISLANDER OF AN IRISH PRIEsT.-One OF
the slanderous attacks which, from time to
time, have been made upon the Catholic
clergy of Ireland, received in Parliament
lately triumphant reply. The secretary
for Ireland read. letter in the House of
Commons from the Rev. Mr.. Evers, parish
priest of Mohill, in the county of Leitrim.
whose name had been falsely used in con-
nection with the murder of Mr.. O,Brien
about month ago in that locality. The
letter was as follows:
L see by the papers that my name has
been brought before the House of Commons
as having denounced Mr. O'Briep. who
was murdered, on the Sunday before that
sad occurrence. Never was there a state
ment more unfounded. bave never had
recourse to altar denunciations during n
long career. 1 had been on the most In
innate terms with the deceased and HIS
family up to his death SO much SO thai 7
had him proposed as a guardian for the
poor. My intimacy with the family CON
tinues still as ever, as a respectable Justice
OF the peace, Mr.. John O'Brien, their
relative, who lives in the locality, can tes-
THY. 1t pains me to be thus calum
mated after so much pain all my life to
prevent crime and outrage between all
crecds and all glasses.
The letter was received with cheers nv
the House, and it is to be hoped will help to
put an end to the systematic calumpies
which are poured forth with such envenom-
ed bitterness upon the Irish clergy.
