1835, Clowry, Cummins, Cornwall, Gahan & Prendergast.
Carlow Sentinel.
June 1835.
Myshall Parish -- The Rev. J. Cummins, P.P. and Agitator. Townland
of Ullardbeg -- Several families were lately dispossessed of those
lands, including a noted agitator named Clowry, by Major Cornwall,
under circumstances already detailed to our readers ; taking Father
Prendergast's average dues -- a man who enriched himself at the
expense of his flock, his brother Priest of Myshall will lose Thirty
Pounds annually. Rathvilly
Parish -- The Rev. John Gahan, P.P. and Agitator.
Haroldstown -- A Townland out of which
Twenty nine families were lately ejected, for non-payment of rent due
for years, paid by the tenantry into the pockets of agitators for
electioneering purposes -- this is a loss to the Reverend demagogue of
Fifty Pounds annually.
