The Land-War In Ireland (1870)

CHAPTER XIII
9/29

And with respect even to such limited leases, it further enacts, that if a Papist should hold a farm producing a profit greater than _one-third of the amount of the rent_, his right to such should immediately cease, and pass over entirely to the first Protestant who should discover the rate of profit.

The seventh clause prohibits Papists from succeeding to the properties or estates of their Protestant relations.

By the tenth clause, the estate of a Papist, not having a Protestant heir, is ordered to be gavelled, or divided in equal shares between _all_ his children.

The sixteenth and twenty-fourth clauses impose the oath of abjuration, and the sacramental test, as a qualification for office, and for voting at elections.

The twenty-third clause deprives the Catholics of Limerick and Galway of the protection secured to them by the articles of the treaty of Limerick.
