JUSTICE RENT - TOOMAVARA, UPPER ORMOND  4TH DEC. 1836
    Freemans Journal
  
  Sir-Enclosed I send you 20/., out of the 24/., the sum subscribed to the
  Justice rent from Toomavara, Upper Ormond, the remaining 4/., I gave to the
  poor widow Fogarty, whose husband was murdered in the Dunkerrin tithe
  affray, at the wish of the subscribers.
  
  Please to move as members the following subscribers who paid £1 each.

  We have been favoured in this neighbourhood with an excellent amiable
  parson, Rev. Mr. Knox, Rector of Anamaedle, who, sooner than be an accessory
  to the loss of more lives, put off his claim for the present. There are some
  subscribers on this list who are Tithe sufferers in another Parish in this
  union. These expect from the association support and sympathy, should they
  be driven to prison-to gaol they will go sooner than submit. Among the
  subscribers you have the widow of Mr. Henry Ryan, a lady of great worth and
  respectability, exceedingly charitable, but cannot be prevailed upon to pay
  the Tithes, and declares she will go to gaol sooner than submit, and thus
  set an example of heroic fortitude in upholding public principle to every
  pusillanimous, selfish, crouching scoundrel who refuses at this momentous
  crisis to make common cause with his fellow sufferers. The people give their
  money here and in every other Parish, on the condition that the association
  will aid them, and if sent to prison liberate them. After meeting this first
  and very important claim on their funds, in my humble judgement some portion
  of your funds should go to assisting in the suppression of the odious tithe
  impost, have subscribed their names at foot, and have done me the honour of
  requesting me to become the medium of transmitting to you our first
  contribution of 20/., which I have great pleasure in doing, and I hope to
  address you again on a similar occasion.
  
  I am Sir,
  
  Very respectfully,
  
  Thomas Bury, Treasurer.
