In order more effectually to deter people from entering into _those detestable marriages_, the penalty of _Excommunication_ is hereby attached to that sin both for the Catholic _contracting_ party as also for the Catholic _witnesses_ to such marriage.
"5.

The notice which the Protestant Rector or the Registrar is legally bound in such cases to send to the Parish Priest of the Catholic party, will be read from the Altar for three consecutive Sundays, and thus the _crime_ of the offending party brought out into open light before his or her fellow-parishioners.

For the rest, we hope the sense of decency and religion of the Catholic people and their Pastors shall be no more hurt by any Catholic entering into those marriages, so full of, misery and evil of every kind for themselves, their children, and society at large .-- Yours faithfully in Christ, [Image: Cross] ABRAHAM, Bishop of Ossory.
NOTE H.
TULLY AND THE WOODFORD EVICTIONS.
(Vol.ii.p.

149.) Since the first edition of this book was published certain "evictions" mentioned in it as impending on the Clanricarde estates have been carried out.

I have no reason to suppose that there was more or less reason for carrying out these evictions than there usually is, not in Ireland only, but all over the civilised world, for a resort by the legal owners of property to legal means of recovering the possession of it from persons who fail to comply with the terms on which it was put into their keeping.
