THE IRISH REBELLION.
[To vas Emon or THE " Srsersroa."1 SIR,—" An Irish Catholic" quotes the teaching of his Church as regards perjury. That teaching is very correct; the point is how far the Church seeks to enforce its theory in practice-- About fifteen years ago an Irish land agent said to me: "I think a curse must soon fall on this country to punish the flood of perjury that has been deluging it for the last twenty- five years." And yet this wholesale perjury was hardly ever denounced from the pulpit: Now Sir H. Greenwood talk' of "competition in perjury?' Who can deny it? Is it de- nounced now any more than in Land League times? I think not. And yet we hear even now loud talk of the virtue and religion of Ireland. But murder seems of little account, nod perjury of none at all—I am, Sir, &c., ANOTHER IRISH CATHOLIC.
