High Sheriff has the selection of the Grand
Jury, body that exercises such large fla
cal and Judicial powers in the county,. and
that can also even under the new Act. or
rather in evasion of it's admirable proyi
sions, tamper with the petty juries, it is an
people to find the Irish Executive frame
such shrieva!ty. More than one-third of
the Irish members of Parliament are Cath

High Sheriffs are Catholics.
