4 JUNE 1864, Page 2

A return has been issued showing that on the 1st

January, 1864, there were in the Irish county and borough gaols 364 Established Church prisoners, with 39 Established Church chaplains receiving 1,607/. a year amongst them ; 122 Presbyterian prisoners, and 14 Presbyterian religious instructors receiving 508/. a year amongst them ; and 2,513 Roman Catholic prisoners, and only 39 Roman Catholic chaplains receiving 1,7271. amongst them. And this is justice to Roman Catholics ! They do seven times the work of the Established Church for almost precisely the same pay.
