THE CONNAUGHT JOURNAL Galway, Monday, September 20, 1824 CATHOLIC RENT At a Meeting of the Committee for the Catholic Rent, held this day, at the College House, the undernamed Gentlemen - WARDEN FFRENCH, RICHARD MARTYN, Esq, MARK LYNCH, Esq. RICHARD JOYCE, Esq. JAMES FYNN, Esq. Were appointed to commence on next WEDNESDAY the collection of YEARLY SUBSCRIPTIONS from the respectable inhabitants of the town, to enable the Treasurer to make an early Remittance to the Association. Galway, September 20, 1824. ~~~~~~~~~ FASHIONABLE NEWS A fashionable party of Electors were entertained last week, at the hospitable Mansion of Mr. John D'Arcy, at Clifden - amongst whom were the following respectable gentlemen: Colonel Martin; Mr. Kirwan, of Dalgin; Mr. Blake, of Reavyic; Sir Charles Peehell; The Messrs. Bell. Mr. Daly of Dunsandle was expected; but the arrival of his apology put an end to the political part of the conference; and the Gentlemen took different routes without having transacted the business. We have heard from our "little bird" now matters were to have been managed; but there is no use in giving publicity to what were the intentions of Honourable Gentlemen. Is it not very strange, that such an occurrence could not take place even in the remote wilds of Cunnemara without our knowledge!!! ------------------------------------------------------------- THE CONNAUGHT JOURNAL Galway, Thursday, September 23, 1824 A BALL MR.
