MOOre'S Grave at BrOUlham. The Devizes Gazette reprints a 

 long article by F. MacDonagh in The Irish Packet on the present 

 neglected condition of Moore's grave at Bromham (occasioned by a 

 letter from the Rev. A. S. Hartigan, now curate of the parish, asking 

 for a small sum from Irishmen to repair it). Mr. MacDonagh finds 

 great fault with the erection of the window in the Church to Moore's 

 memory some years ago, on the ground that he died a Roman Catholic 

 and not a Protestant, as has been stated, and proposes that the simple 

 slab in the churchyard shall now be replaced by a worthy national Irish 

 memorial to his memory. Other letters on the subject appeared in the 

 Devizes Gazette, and an article on " The Religion of Moore" in the 

 Irish Packet, Feb. 27th, 1904.
