Ireland. Hamilton elected unopposed at Dublin University
Dublin University section went Friday with George Alexander Hamilton returned without opposition. He had earlier stood for Dublin county and represented the city on Tory principles. Nomination came from the vice provost Dr Prior and George Ogle Broore, once orange idolized, now a Peelipecel official. The piece also recounts sermons against Jacob and a mock scene at a Catholic chapel with deputy marshal Feeny, ending with Jacob failing to attend and the deputy’s disappointment. The report notes a separate defamation case in Dublin involving Rev. J. D.

It closes with resistance to Roman Catholic clergy dues spreading from Mayo to Sligo and a five-hundred-strong parishioner march in Skreen.
