DONEGAL.
The following letter from Rev. Daniel
Stephens. &. c., Falcorragh. recently
appeared in the Dublin press: Allow
nus to protect publicly, through your
columns, against what consider
most unjustidable interference on the
part of the authorities with me in the
discharge Of my sacred duties. This
znorning when went alone to the
chapel to celebrate Mass WAS followed
By two constables from the police bar
racks in the village, who kept patrolllng
in front Of the church during the time /
was offering up the Holy Sacrifice. If
this were a mere personal matter I
should not trouble you with it, By
this time I have grown pretty callous to
the close attention OF police authorities.
But as sn insult offered to our holy 70.
ligion 1 fees bound to make a public
protest against it.
