was buried in Mount Jerome Cemetery, Harold's Cross, on the 29th of 

 the same month. He also published a small volume, entitled, 1 Remarks 

 on the Limitation of Actions Bill, intended for Ireland ; together with 

 Short Extracts from Ancient Records relating to Advowsons of Churches 

 in Ireland.' This volume is now exceedingly rare ; and I am indebted 

 for its possession to my friend, the Rev. R. Gibbings, D. D., Professor 

 of Ecclesiastical History in Trinity College, with whose acquiescence 

 I have great pleasure in presenting it to the Academy, along with the 

 Records themselves, to which it appears in some sort to be properly 

 an appendage. And I am sure that I could not deposit such records in 

 any more appropriate place than the Library of this Academy, where 

 there is always such ready access to its treasures for the real student, 

 and where information is always so freely and so courteously given. 

 ' ' I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, 

 " Your obedient humble Servant, 



" D. H. Kelly."
