September 9, 1824 CATHOLIC RENT There is a very extensive parish about the New Quay, in which the people are all comparatively wealthy. The spiritual care of a large congregation is entrusted to the Rev. Mr. Geoghegan, a Clergyman of exemplary character; but, who, we do not find, has done any thing as yet to forward the "Catholic Rent" in his district. If we looked through the entire Kingdom, we could scarcely discover another parish which exhibits the working of the system more glaringly than that to which we allude. It pays an immense revenue in Tithes, and discharges every demand for building Churches and Glebes, at the same time that there does not live within the entire parish a Protestant but ONE!- that three is not a single Protestant Church or Glebe-house in it - and that the Parson, the Rev. Mr. Cassidy, lives in France- some thousand miles from the place where he ought to reside. Now, if this is not monstrous and well-calculated to make people run mad, why we cannot tell what is. And yet, with all this just under their eyes, do these people keep back, and suffer places of less suffering to go before them. We expect that our hint will be taken, and that we shall not be obliged to repeat it. We entreat of the Reverend Clergyman (as we shall of some others too) to explain to his flock the nature of the Rent measure - the people have energy and inclination - they only require to be reminded of their sufferings. MISCHIEVOUS DEPRAVITY We are informed that during Mr. Kean's stay in Galway for the last week, some unknown villain or villains, for purposes which no one can divine, cut and destroyed the panels of his carriage. Any thing more wicked, more unjustifiable, or outrageous, we have never heard; - a Gentleman of acknowledged talents - mild and affable demeanour - unconnected with the place - a stranger too, to be that wantonly insulted, without any viable cause on earth, appears to us the very achme of villainy, and leaves little doubt upon our mind but that the perpetrator will mount still higher in crime until the law may interfere and cut short his wicked career. Several highly respectable Gentlemen have proposed setting a subscription on foot for the discovery of the persons concerned in this treacherous piece of mischief; and we have little doubt that their object will be fully achieved. We call upon the authorities to use their vigilance on this occasion. Cathy Joynt Labath Ireland Old News http://www.IrelandOldNews.com/
