duties of Lord Mayor, was laid to rest
also in 1S47. The Hon. Martin French,
of Ballinasloe; who had worked side
by side with, O'Connell for emancipa-
ton, was buried in 1871. In 1853 had
died Sir Simon Bradstreet, Bart, a
veteran Of the Catholic Association,
and Richard Lalor Shiel, the orator
of civil equality. The latter was Brit
ish Minister at Florence at the time
of his death. Among the solemn in
cidents of 1856 was the funeral of
Lord O'Hagan, X. p, the first Cath
olic Lord Chancellor since the Refor-
nation. He died in England, and
among the English mourners present
at Glasnevin were Lord Abingdon,
Lord Norreys and Lord Edmund Tai
bot. It would be impossible to emu
merate all the great lawyers who
share his final resting place, but two
or three picked out at random are Sir

"estimable and philanthropic person.;
Matthew O'Donnell, Q. c. Michael
O'Shaughnessy, @. c., Patrick Blake,

Soldiers and sailors are less numer-
GUS, though we have the names Of
Captain Edward Whyte, r. N, who
fought at Trafalgar, and whose family
had given to the Kings naval service
eight brothers, of whom six fell in ac-
ton; Major. Nicholson, a Waterloo
hero; Major Theobald Butler, of. whom
it is recorded on his headstone: "Hav-
ing entered the British army at IN
early age, he served under Sir John
Moore and subsequently under His
Grace the Duke of Wellington through
the Peninsular Wars and at Water
loo," and Captain Leyne, whose regi-
nent, the. .Seventy-third, was so mown
by the French cannon at Waterloo
that fourteen officers senior to him
were either killed or wounded, and the
command of the survivors of the regi-
ment devolved upon him, though only
lieutenant. Another soldier "courag<
eous and humane" Major Fitzgerald,
of Clonborriss, laid his bones to rest
beside his old friend, Curran. A Ma
jor Talbot is interesting to English
Catholics on account OF his claim to
the Earldom of Shrewsbury, which, he
nearly established in proceedings be-
fore the House Of Lords. A powerful
competitor, however, appeared in Lord
Ingestre, and Talbot's means were in
adequate to maintain the contest. He
was the cousin of the Princess Borg
hese, whose life has been written in
French by Zeloni. Other English
names are found on q monument,
bearing date 1874, erected by Sir Rob-
ert Gerard, Bart. (aftrewards Lord
