Last acts of Catholic Association and a levy inquiry
The Catholic Association is reduced to insignificance as its last acts are noted. A weekly rent collection exceeded eighteen hundred pounds, likely a balance from all collectors. The piece questions the fund’s intended use and suggests donations to lunatic establishments in England and Ireland as a possible destination, criticizing Mr O Connell and his Anglomania.
