MATTHEW DAVIS, Esq., J.P., said that if any injury was done to monuments, 

 the magistrates might interfere. He (Mr. Davis) entirely disapproved of any dis- 

 turbance, unnecessarily, of the remains of the dead. 



[Some person here said that the Archbishop of Armagh had raised the bones 

 and earth from graves, to be carried away in rebuilding the cathedral of 

 Armagh.] 



Dr. SHEIL said, that if the Archbishop had done so, it was not likely that he 

 had converted them to the purpose of manuring his lands, as had been done 

 in the present instance. What had now fallen from the bench of magistrates 

 would, probably, have the effect of putting a stop to future disinterments. 



Nothing further having been said on the subject, the conversation, which had 

 excited great interest in a very crowded court, was here dropped. There has 

 not been any removal of bones or remains from the churchyard of Ballyshannon 

 since. 



Copy of a Testimonial submitted by Dr. Sheil to the Board of Health in Bally- 

 shannon, in August 1832, from Sir Astley Cooper : 



" I have great pleasure in stating that Dr. John B. Sheil is highly informed 

 in his profession, and an extremely able and intelligent man. 



" ASTLEY COOPF.R."

THE END.
