SIGNATURES TO THE
ANTI-CATHOLIC PETITION
Of all the Protestant Gentlemen and Landed Proprietors resident in Ireland, we
give the names of the Anti-Catholic Petitioners from this County. It is a
pleasing circumstance, that out of the numerous body of Landed Proprietors, only
two dozen could be found, whose hearts are so corroded with bigotry, as to deny
a participation of rights to their fellow-subjects. Of those insignificant few,
we shall say more at a future period. The Slieverdagh Petitioners shall also
receive a just measure of attention, when the hurry of the Assizes are over; we
have received their names, and shall only now say, that such a list of
ragamuffins (with very few exceptions) was scarcely ever presented to the
public.
Followed by a list of names of people from Clonmel.
