It had fallen out and was lying about in pieces. This accounts.for gaps. The translation which follows is by the Rev. F.F. CARMICHAEL, LL.D. (Translation) This sod close by contains within its bosom, the bones of William LOCKINGTON of Kilkenny, who died unmarried on the 2n day of July 1808, after a life of fifty years devoted to the service of God. He was a man of piety, and if ever there was a good man he was one. Almighty God bestowed upon him an acute and well-balanced mind, and a gentle and benevolent disposition. He was an excellent lawyer, and was ever ready with generous help for the poor and the oppressed. According to the best of his ability he always set his face against dis- putes and ruinous litigations. His relatives and friends now mourn, and will long continue to mourn, his loss.
