CATHOLIC RENT.

ANTECEDENT to the victory gained over the British protestant constitution, large sums were collected in Ireland, by weekly payments, under the name of the Catholic rent. The poorest were compelled by their priests to contribute to the fund, and in some instances foreigners also made donations.

What was done with the money? What service did it purchase? Whom did it buy?

This opens new views; but it must be reserved as matter for history.

THE END.
