“Reweigh this Justice.”
One Adam Valance, a Catholic, of somewhere in Limerick, has been pounced upon by the priests, and handed to the law, and send to prison. His offence was, that he went about and “under false pretences” collected the sum of one and ninepence, which he alleged was to be applied in aid of the Pope. Well, if it were shown that “the offending Adam” meant to confiscate that eleemosynary twenty-one pennies to his own use, we suppose that his punishment was just. But this should be clear, for otherwise he may be as innocent as Antonelli, or Isabella Segunda. For how, in the name of all truth and humanity, can anybody obtain a single penny of charity for Pope Perugia,- except under false pretences?
