This day.
Last night Father Henneberry addressed a crowded congregation in the Catholic Cathedral, when he emphatically denied having made the statement that mixed marriages were no marriages at all. and characterised the accusation as a " base and wicked falsehood." After the service he referred to the expenses incurred in renovating the Cathedral, and then told those who were wil'.ing to subscribe towards defraying the same to stand up, when the whole congregation stood up en masse. Father Henneberry and three priests then went amongst the people, and shortly afterwards announced that eleven hundred pounds had been subscribed.
