As a matter of course, he was the last individual from whom anything like sympathy for those who suffered in such a cause might be expected.

Much of the same character was M'Mahon, to whom the distressed parson had applied for the humble loan of food.

He assailed, in fact, the whole Establishment, and took both an active and conspicuous part in the excitement which then agitated the country.

He joined the crowds, vociferated and shouted among them at the top of his lungs, and took the liberty of laying down the law on the subject, as he termed it: that is to say, of swearing that one stick or stone of their dirty Establishment should not be left upon another, but that the whole bobbery of it must be sent to blazes--where it would all go yet, plaise God.

Of course his neighbor, the parson, was by no means cognizant of this violence on the part of M'Mahon, or he would never have thought of applying to him, even under the severest pressure of absolute destitution.
Having premised thus much concerning these two individuals, we request our readers to accompany us to the house of the Rev.Anthony Casey, and to suppose that it is a little after the hour of eleven o'clock at night.
