WATERFORD.
In Waterford, Oh December 8, meet
ing was held under the presidency of

Institute, and indeed the Catholics of
Waterford generally. felt that an indig-
nifty had been put upon their bishop by
being placed in secondary position to
the Protestant bishop, on the board. The
Protestant bishop of Cashel was appoint
ed permanent chairman OF this Catholic
institution, which was built and main
tanned almost exclusively by Catholic
money. When the new rules were sent
to the vice-chancellor for approval he
struck out the clause relating to the
craftsmanship and refused to allow the
Catholic bishop to be chairman under
any circumstances. On appeal, the court
chancellor, and religious equality
clergy and laity was large and hand
some sum was realized.

ty returned to Mullingar from Rome,
and after his arrival was waited upon by

zens of the town, with kind inquiries
for his health The bishop had suffered
from a slight indispositlon, and on TINS
account could not bear the fatigue OF
replying to the address which was pre-
