The Land-War In Ireland (1870)

CHAPTER XIII
10/29

The twenty-fifth clause vests in the crown all advowsons possessed by Papists.
A further act was passed, in 1709, imposing additional penalties.

The first clause declares that no Papist shall be capable of holding an annuity for life.

The third provides, that the child of a Papist, on conforming, shall at once receive an annuity from his father; and that the chancellor shall compel the father to discover, upon oath, the full value of his estate, real and personal, and thereupon make an order for the support of such conforming child or children, and for securing such a share of the property, after the father's death, as the court shall think fit.

The fourteenth and fifteenth clauses secure jointures to Popish wives who shall conform.

The sixteenth prohibits a Papist from teaching, even as assistant to a Protestant master.
