Letter from the bishop of Limerick [Charles Mongan Warburton], County Cork, concerning likelihood of adding another incumbent to his diocese |
SCOPE & CONTENT: |
Letter from the Church of Ireland bishop of Limerick [Charles Mongan Warburton], See House, Cloyne, County Cork, to Henry Goulburn, Chief Secretary, Dublin Castle, alluding to the intention of ‘a most respectable Dignitary of this Diocese’ to engage in an exchange of two church livings for one of the same value. Remarks that such an occurrence should be welcomed on grounds it would ‘benefit the Established Religion by having two resident Incumbents instead of one’. Adds in conclusion that the countryside is ‘in a state of deadly quiet!’ aside from the exertions of the Roman Catholic priesthood ‘in the collection of [Daniel] O’Connell’s Rents’, whom, he asserts, are acting under the influence of a public letter from Dr William Coppinger, the [Roman Catholic] bishop of Cloyne and Ross. |
