Letter (from the 1940s?) written by J.J. Kenneally
Thu Sep 29 02:08:15 2005 (Edit Post)
Sharon Hollingsworth At a website about the history of the village of Newtownsandes, County Kerry, Ireland I found a letter written by J.J. Kenneally but the name is spelled Kennelly in the letter.
In the letter he mentions Ned Kelly and his book about him.
You can read it here--
http://www.geocities.com/dalyskennelly_2000/jjkennelly.html
When you go to the homepage http://www.geocities.com/dalyskennelly_2000/ you can click into the guestbook where a lady writes in and gives thanks for seeing the letter from her grandfather, "J.J. Kennelly (Kenneally in Australia)" and confirms some of the facts. I did some checking in Corfield and elsewhere and see that the family facts are correct and the fact of him running for office. From what I can figure the year of the letter must have been between 1945 and 1947 since he says that the Duke of Gloucester is still here (as the Duke was Governor General of Australia between 1945 and 1947). Also he mentions "president De Valera" who served in the position of prime minister of Ireland between 1937 and 1948.
In August 1945 Kenneally did the "enlarged and revised" version of his "Inner History of the Kelly Gang." Kenneally died in 1949.

edited to add in the bit where it says he mentions Ned Kelly, nearly forgot to add that most important part in!

Bill Denheld Dear Sharon,
That is a beaut find. Interesting that to read the letter and ' Mat' is a well to do farmer at Eleven Mile Creek. No doubt this kindled JJK's interest in the Kelly saga.
Keep up the good work Sharon, we all appreciate the resource.
Regarding http://www.ironicon.com.au , during the past month my internet service provider had a server crash and they re-instated settings according to an old copy they had. The result of this meant- intending visitors could not access the site/s.
Please revisit the above URL and save that to your Favourites list as this will be the only way to the other sites as well. If anyone has a problem to access please let me know.
With thanks, Bill

Sharon Hollingsworth Bill, thank you very much for your comments. A little appreciation sure goes a long way! I saw over on the ironicon links page where you have mentioned me under the KC2000 link in reference to the forum. Maybe a few people who wondered where I vanished to can now find me.
It seems that not only am I "inimitable" I am unsinkable like Molly Brown (on the Titanic)!
I really appreciate the recognition.
Now I just hope I can keep on finding these great little nuggets of information like the Kenneally letter! It is getting harder and harder to find good stuff as I have searched so darned much these past few years!

Lola R Sharon I have passed this onto JJ's Granddaughter, Mary, as it does not read quite right to me.
Fri Sep 30 17:00:28 2005 (Edit Post)
Sharon Hollingsworth Thanks Lola, I had wondered what Mary Kenneally would make of it. The other lady who was a granddaughter who visited the guestbook seemed to agree with some of the family facts, but I would like to know just where this history site got the letter from! They give no provenance or background to the letter, just listing his name under families that had ancestral ties in the area and thus I clicked on.
Hope we can solve the riddle! Let us know what she says.

In her 1989 book, The Living Legend of St. Patrick, Alanah Hopkins writes: ?There are 800 Churches around the world named after St. Patrick. St. Patrick?s Day means the tolling of bells for Ireland?s saint from Buenos Aires to Shanghai.? In her 2000 book Goodbye to Catholic Ireland, Mary Kenny talks about the ?spiritual empire? that Ireland created during the 1800's. If England ruled most of the known world, Ireland created a spiritual empire that dominated the English-speaking Catholic world for over a century. In 1876, one Irish priest wrote:
Ireland has not only done a great deal for the Propagation of the Faith so that her missionaries and nuns and faithful people are now to be found foremost in everything good going on in the various missions of the old and the new world but at present the whole country may be regarded as a vast recruiting field for sustaining the distant missions.
For over a century, Ireland and the Irish diaspora experienced a vocations boom that lasted well over a century. In 1872, Father Thomas Burke, a famous Dominican preacher, pointed to this when he said: "Take an Irishman wherever he is found, all over the earth, and any casual observer will at once come to the conclusion, ?Oh, he is an Irishman, he is a Catholic!? The two go together."
However, studies show that the pre-Famine Irish were not an overly religious people. Studies of the Irish in London, for example, showed a high ignorance of basic Catholic beliefs and practices. But in the wake of the Famine (1845-1849), Ireland experienced a flourishing of Catholic life. Vocations to the priesthood and religious life went through the roof. New schools, new churches went up at an amazing rate, and this poured over into American life. The forced eradication of Gaelic culture in the 18th century played a part, because the Irish ?found their securities in the Church and their leadership in the priesthood.? When the Irish came to America, they clung so closely to the Church because it was the only thing they could cling to when they got here.
By the 1860?s, Irish leadership in the American Church was predominant. Of the 464 American bishops named between 1789 and 1935, over half had Irish names. By 1900, two thirds of the American hierarchy (known as the ?hibernarchy?) were Irish. By 1900, when approximately 11,000 priests served the American Church, just the names beginning with ?Mc? or ?O? accounted for 1,000 of the total. Some women?s religious communities, such as the Sisters of Mercy, were Irish-founded. Others, such as the French-based Sisters of St. Joseph or the Belgian-based Notre Dame de Namur sisters, became so Irish that everyone just assumed that?s where they were founded. Other Catholic ethnic groups resented Irish predominance in Church leadership. James O?Toole, in his great biography of Boston?s Cardinal William H. O?Connell, recalls a story of two French-Canadian priests in New England arguing. One got so mad he called the other one Irish!

10 Ways to Honor Work and Workers
Honor Others' Honest Efforts
Work From Your Heart
Early in the 20th century, the Communists chose May Day as a day to celebrate workers. In 1956, Pope Pius XII designated May 1 as the Feast of St. Joseph the Worker. Many who once marched on May Day are now ardent capitalists.
Can Catholics today affirm an attitude which does not bemoan our working fate? How can we choose Joseph?s path of dedication and integrity?
Honor Others' Honest Efforts
Some arenas of work command public attention: art, invention, exploration, experimentation, technology and, yes, sports. We honor these enterprises with grants, Oscars and applause.
May 1 is also the feast of supporting-role work?Joseph?s carpentry and the allied exertions of farming, industry, public works and private business. How might Catholics best celebrate the substance and comfort resulting from less visible work? Here are five avenues to appreciate what others do.
1. Resolve to be more conscious of efforts to bring produce to the table, clothing to the racks, trees and flowers to the roadside. Include one unsung effort each day at mealtime grace?without repeating.
2. Express your thanks to the gas-station attendant, the librarian, the child-care worker. Expand your gratitude beyond the works that first command your consciousness?or are mentioned on this page.
3. Respect the work others do by making it more pleasant. Bus your own tray. Pay your bills when due. Be polite.
4. Advocate just wages and good conditions for seasonal workers. Honor picket lines by learning the premise behind the action. Choose products whose producers respect labor and pay a living wage.
5. Pay just wages yourself if you are an employer. Respect and consult with your employees.
In his 1981 encyclical, Laborem Exercens (On Human Work), Pope John Paul II reminded Catholics that Christ ?looks with love upon human work and the different forms that it takes, seeing in each one of these forms a particular facet of human likeness with God, the Creator and Father.?
Just as we see each person as a member of the Body of Christ, so we recognize each work done by hands, head and heart as a contribution to the care of that Body. Some work may appear more central and compelling, but all honest work deserves respect.
Work From Your Heart
While Christians do well to appreciate the work of others, it is even more important to make one?s own work a ?saving work.? St. Paul laid down the gauntlet when he said, ?Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him? (Colossians 3:17).
A meatcutter, speaking in a faith setting about his work, explained how he sees himself giving only the best to his customers?for their health. He said he?s in his glory explaining to customers how to prepare certain cuts, knowing a family?s dinner will be the better for it. He also knows a big part of his job is affirming his co-workers.
Everyone who works (and who doesn?t?) can express a spiritual dimension. Joseph Allegretti, in his newly released book, Loving Your Job, Finding Your Passion: Work and the Spiritual Life (Paulist Press), has pondered the challenge. He emphasizes the how over the what, the way in which we work, more than the work we do. Consciences can be compromised in the workplace and some work (not usually legitimate) is not suitable for creatures of conscience. We must all work for a society in which no job offends human dignity.
These additional actions can enhance your own honorable labor.
6. Intend to work for God?s glory. Beginning each day with the Morning Offering (as promoted by the Apostleship of Prayer) or a less formal resolve to act in concert with the Creator establishes a powerful intention to work as God?s partner.
7. Act responsibly. Work in the well-founded belief that what you do?and how you do it?matters. You work for your family?s well-being, to ensure the smooth running of society for the safety, convenience or entertainment of others. Not everyone is in charge, but everyone has a charge. Don?t cut corners on yours.
8. Be present to your work and your fellow workers. Don?t leave your warmth and goodwill at home?if you leave home for your daily work. Act in your workplace as one who knows the infinite worth of human beings, the value of creation itself and the power generated by concerted human effort.
9. Honor the workers whose efforts assist you. Food-service workers, public-safety officials, auto mechanics, secretaries and bank and grocery clerks: These and many others conspire to keep us at our best, ready and able to give 100 percent. Keep the cycle moving in a positive direction.
10. Use the rewards for your work well. If you find it difficult to see how your work is holy, follow your money trail. Do you use your salary to support yourself and your family? Do you support good works through your parish and other avenues? Do you pay just taxes and support the smooth running of society? Where your money goes, you are represented. Choose well.

Thursday, April 2, 2009
Washington, DC -- NOAA scientists, in a first-of-its-kind report issued today, state that polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), chemicals commonly used in commercial goods as flame retardants since the 1970s, are found in all U.S. coastal waters and the Great Lakes, with elevated levels near urban and industrial centers. The new findings are in contrast to analysis of samples as far back as 1996 that identified PBDEs in only a limited number of sites around the nation. Based on data from NOAA�s Mussel Watch Program which has been monitoring coastal water contaminants for 24 years, the nationwide survey found that New York�s Hudson Raritan Estuary had the highest overall concentrations of PBDEs, both in sediments and shellfish. Individual sites with the highest PBDE measurements were found in shellfish taken from Anaheim Bay, CA and four sites in the Hudson Raritan Estuary. Watersheds that include the Southern California Bight, Puget Sound, the central and eastern Gulf of Mexico off the Tampa-St. Petersburg, FL coast, and Lake Michigan waters near Chicago and Gary, IN were also found to have high PBDE concentrations. PBDEs are man-made toxic chemicals used as flame retardants in a wide array of consumer products including building materials, electronics, furnishings, motor vehicles, plastics, polyurethane foams and textiles since the 1970s. Similar in chemical structure to polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs, they have raised concerns among scientists and regulators that their impacts on human health will prove comparable. PBDE production has been banned in a number of European and Asian countries. In the U.S., production of most PBDE mixtures has been voluntarily discontinued. - * Email
Franciscans Celebrate 800 Years of Their Founding
Next month, April 2009, the worldwide Franciscan Order is marking its 800th birthday in a special way. In the year 1209, St. Francis and his small group of followers�12 in all�journeyed from Assisi to Rome to seek approval for their way of life from Pope Innocent III. In response, the Holy Father gave them oral approval for their form of life. He also granted them permission to go about preaching popular sermons of an inspiring nature.
During Easter Week, April 15-18, Franciscan representatives from all over the world have been invited to Assisi and Castelgandolfo, the pope�s villa outside Rome, to celebrate
the 8th centenary of their beginning (1209-2009). A culmination of these events will take place on April 18 during an audience with Pope Benedict XVI at Castelgandolfo. During this special audience, Franciscan leaders will renew their profession in the hands of the Holy Father. Various branches of the worldwide Franciscan family have been invited to participate in this celebration with the Holy Father.
The Franciscan coat of arms is, indeed, a very inspiring image for us to ponder as we observe the 800th anniversary of our founding!
Father Michael Dalton, 106, was Courtland resident

Posted 2 days ago April `09
Decorated for his bravery during the Second World War, Ontario's oldest Roman Catholic priest died Monday at 106.
Rev. Michael J. Dalton may have been the oldest Catholic priest in Canada, the Diocese of London said.
In a 2004 interview, Dalton was asked the secret to his longevity. "God only knows," he replied with a twinkle in his eyes.
Born May 5, 1902 near Goderich, Dalton was one of 10 children. He was ordained as a priest on May 21, 1932.
In 1939 he became a chaplain with the Essex Scottish Regiment and served with them in England, France, Belgium, Holland and Germany.
The Essex Scottish was part of the ill-fated Dieppe raid, suffering extreme casualties. Of the 558 soldiers from the regiment who hit the beach only 44 returned.
While Dalton wasn't part of the landing, he had the job of writing to soldiers' families, notifying them of their deaths.
The Diocese of London archives has a photo of Father Dalton offering Mass on the hood of a Jeep two days before the D-Day invasion.
Three times during his overseas service, Dalton was hit by shrapnel, twice while travelling in a Jeep.
Dalton received the Military Cross for his bravery and service and was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire by King George VI in a ceremony at Buckingham Palace in 1943. He was the first Catholic priest to receive the recognition.
His parish assignments in Ontario have included Holy Name of Mary, Windsor, St. Alphonsus, Windsor, Most Precious Blood, Windsor, St. John the Evangelist, Woodslee and St. John de Brebeuf and Companions, Kingsville.
In 1967, Dalton was named Veteran of the Year and Citizen of the Year by the City of Windsor. In 2001, the City of London created Father Dalton Drive in honour of his war service.
Dalton retired in 1970, but continued to serve as chaplain to the Sacred Heart Sisters in Courtland. He lived at a retirement home in Courtland until his death.

LIMERICK, JAN. 5.- On the night of the 26th ult. as John Shouldice, the Permanent-Serjeant of the Castleotway corps of yeomanry, was on his return from Nenagh, where he had been on some business connected with the Sessions, he was waylaid about the hour of eight o'clock in the evening, and within a quarter of a mile of his own dwelling, and fired at from behind an hedge with such accuracy of aim, that six slugs were lodged in his back. - In tracing back for any cause for this diabolical act of vengeance, we think that Shouldice was one of the persons who helped to defend Wallis's house - Limerick Chronicle
On Thursday night last, a large party of men armed and mounted, attacked and broke into the house of a respectable farmer named Mally, about two miles from Newport, and forcibly carried off his daughter, after abusing and beating the father and mother. She was thrown across a horse, held by two men, and carried to Gouge, near Castle-Connell, almost naked, her brother and some friends, who pursued were beaten off. The next day Mr. Robert Going, with a party of the army, made a close search for her without success, as she had been removed to some other place, but on Saturday evening the Rev. Mr. Crampton was so fortunate as to recover her, and bring her to his house where, from the ill treatment she received, she was obliged to remain till yesterday, when her sent her home with her father, escorted by a party of soldiers to a place of safety. Mr. Waller, of Castle-Waller, has used every effort to investigate this outrage, and having obtained information against some of the principals, we have no doubt from the activity of these Magistrates, they will ere long be brought to condign punishment.
Travelling between Holyhead, London, Cheltenham, &c. &c.
ROYAL HIBERNIA HOTEL, HOLYHEAD.
THOMAS MORAN, Proprietor.
RESPECTFULLY informs the Nobility and Gentry of the United Kingdom, and of his Native Land (Ireland) in particular, that he has established the above will all its necessary accommodations, upon principles which, while they have essentially served the Public, have secured to him the zealous Patronage of those who have once favoured his Hotel with a visit.
As by setting out upon the plan of such moderate charges as barely support his system of comfort, the excellence of his Larder and Cellar, as also his Public and Private Travelling accommodations, MORAN has already vanquished all the efforts of the previous Monopoly at this great Thoroughfare, and consequently done away with most of its injurious effects to the Public, as it effected both the Hotel and travelling departments; so be a steady adherence to such system - MORAN looks forward with respectful confidence to the only remuneration he aspires to, namely the small but steady profit arising from Public favour, and the reputation of his Hotel, Livery Stables, Posting accommodation and the Prince of Wales Light Post Chaise, which starts daily from his Hotel from 10 to 12 o'Clock, according to the arrival of the Irish Packet, and runs through the New Capel Cerrig Road, to Shrewsbury, (from whence certain conveyances start at all hours to every Town of note in the Kingdom,) Birmingham, Oxford, and London. As also the Hibernia Coach, to Cheltenham and Bath, three days a week, and is the only Coach direct from Holyhead to Cheltenham.
Note - The Saving to the Traveller caused by Moran's system, will be provided at the Bar and Coach Office, of the Royal Hibernia Hotel, which possesses another convenience, of much weight, where Ladies and Children are concerned, namely, his Hotel is near to the water-side, and the mooring of the Packets, and it also nearly adjoins the Custom House, where Moran personally attends, to get out the luggage of such Ladies and Gentleman, as may be fatigued, and unable to attend themselves.
Holyhead, Jan.4, 1817.
Dec 1810
On Wednesday night, the 21st instant, Messrs.Laffan and White, Acting Inspectors for the district of Ennis, left that town, accompanied by a party of the military, and proceeded to the neighbourhood of Schariff, where they detected five very extensive private distilleries, and after having destroyed an immense quantity of malt, pot-ale, singlings, and the utensils, returned to that town with the stills, heads, and worms, which they lodged in his Majesty's store; and also two men as prisoners, whom they surprised in one of the distilleries, and who are bound over by them before a Magistrate, to stand their trials at the next assizes for said county. The exertion of these officers in that county already, has had the most happy effects, by inducing a gentleman of respectability to take out license for a still of a large content in the town of Ennis, where there has not been one for many years. We sincerely hope that the Excise Officers throughout Ireland will now exert themselves to put down this baneful and abominable trade, which has so much tended to decrease the revenue of the country, the profits of the fair and honourable trader, and to contaminate the morals of the poor and innocent peasantry.
We have received the following account of a new outrage committed by those deluded men styling themselves Caravats :- The home of Mr.O'Ryan, of Ballycurkeen[?], was attacked on Sunday morning, about ten o'clock. Except Mrs.O'Ryan and one female servant, the remainder of the family were at Mass, and Mr.O'Ryan absent. The hall door being incautiously left open, three men, well armed, entered and proceeded directly to the parlour where Mrs.O'Ryan was, and threatened her with instant death if she made the least noise or resistance, and did not give up what fire-arms were in the house; she told them she did not know where they were, offering them at the same time the keys of the house to search for them, upon which they left the room, breaking open eight drawers, saying they would not lose time in trying to unlock them; they likewise forced open some desks and trunks. Whilst they were thus occupied, Mrs.Ryan went out of the house, and ran up the avenue, calling loudly for assistance, which, when the Caravats heard, they pursued her and forced her back, one of them holding his hand to her mouth to prevent her crying out; - they tore here clothes in forcing her back, swearing they would shoot her, which one of them was about to do, when prevented by another. They then searched the house more closely, when they found a case of pistols and some powder and ball, the rest of the arms having, a few days before, been sent to be repaired, which prevented them from falling into the hands of those ruffians. They went off in different directions; when going, they said they were from the county of Limerick, and that they would return again, as they knew there were more arms in the house.- Waterford Mirror.
On Tuesday last as three Valuators, accompanied by four Police men, were proceeding on some tithe business in the neighbourhood of Ardfinnan, the party was surrounded in the house of one Shee by a mob of upwards of fifteen villains with their faces blackened, and furnished with straw cravats, who murdered Arthur Mullowney, one of the Police men, by shooting him. It appears as if their vengeance was particularly directed against this man, it being upon his information that a fellow named Leamy is now confined in Conmel gaol upon a capital charge for firing at a Police man, at the time that Mr.Clutterbuck narrowly escaped being shot, in attempting to seize Leamy.- A person of the name of John Fennessy has been committed to Clonmel gaol, charged with being present, aiding and abetting at the above murder.
A few days since, two men armed entered an house in Carrick in the noon-day, and presenting a pistol at the head of two women, its only inhabitants, demanded the arms, threatening with the most vehement imprecations to put the women to death, in case of noise or resistance. The consequence is obvious; the only arms in the house, a carbine or firelock, they took off unmolested.
The Queen of France's Funeral.
London, Nov.27.
At nine o'clock yesterday morning, the service for the dead began at the Roman Catholic Chapel in Portman-square. The French Princes arrived at ten, the Foreign Ambassadors between eleven and twelve.
The coffin was placed in the middle of the chapel, covered with crimson velvet, and highly ornamented; in an escutcheon were the arms of France and Savoy, and the Crown of France was placed at the head; it was surrounded with 40 lighted tapers. At the head of the coffin stood the Duke d'Avery, as having the charge of the Crown; and near him Pere Elizee, Surgeon to her Majesty; at the foot next to the altar stood the Count de la Chatre, as Commissary of the King of France, and near him the Compte de Nantouillet, as Master of the Ceremonies. On the right on a row of raised seats were the French Princes, Monsieur the Duke D'Angouleme, the Duke de Berry, the Prince de Conde, and the Duke de Bourbon; and below them their respective officers. Mr.De Broval, we suppose, as representing the Duke of Orleans, sat on the left of the Princes. On the left of the coffin, and opposite to the French Princes, was another row of seats for the Foreign Ambassadors. Below them were the great dignitaries of the ancient French military and chivalric orders.
The service was performed by Mr.Dalbignac, Bishop of Angouleme; there were also present Mr.Talleyrand; Archbishop of Rheims, the Bishops of Sisteron, Digne, Nantes, Tarbes, Rhodez, Aire, Usez, Blois, and Montpelier.
The cards of admission for the abbey were simply for the "funeral of the Countess De Lille" and we cannot sufficiently praise the nice sense of propriety which dictated that distinction. From the Chapel to the hearse the coffin was borne by twelve Knights of St.Louis, and the pall supported by four Dames d'Honneur. The procession then began in the following order :
Thirteen men on horseback; a mute with feathers on horseback; a coach and six with the four Dames d'Honneurs - Mesdames la Duchesse de Pienne, la Duchesse de Coigny, la Comtesse de Naronne, and la Comtesse de Mesnard.
Another coach and six, with persons of the household.
Gardes du Corps of foot, headed by one of their Officers.
A mourner on a fully caparisoned horse, carrying on a cushion the Crown of France, covered with black crape.
The hearse drawn by six beautiful horses, and adorned with a profusion of plumes.
In the Chapel, the same ceremonial was observed as at St.Denis, and the cards of admission were for "The Funeral of the Queen of France."
Then followed the French Princes in mourning coaches and six, followed by the principal French Nobility.
After the mourning coaches, came that of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, drawn by six horses, and conducted by his Highness's state coachman, with three footmen and two pages; the coaches of all the Royal Dukes followed, according to their seniority; as also two coaches and six of the Marquis of Buckingham; those of the Marquis of Wellesley, of Mr.Perceval, and all the Ministers : those of the Foreign Ambassadors, and several English Noblemen and Gentlemen.
The Dean of Westminster, at the head of the Chapter, received the body at the entrance of the Church, the avenues and the aisles being guarded and lined by the battalion of Volunteers of St.John and St.Margaret's, commanded by Major Jones.- A requiem was sung by the full Choir, accompanied by the organ; and after the ceremony, the remains of the Princess were deposited in the same vault with those of the Duke of Montpensier, on the south-west side of King Henry VII's Chapel.
Dec 30th 1806
DIED.- At Cloney, near Newtownlimavady, on the 17th instant, Mr. Wm. Haslett, aged 75. - At Cork, Capt. Wm. Barry; he had served for nearly half a century with honour and reputation, first in the Saxon, afterwards in the Prussian, and finally in the British Army.- Mrs. Hodnett, relict of the Rev. Wm. Hodnett, of Carrymore, at the advanced age of 78 years.
We mention with sincere regret the death on the 7th inst of Jas. Beresford, Esq. the fifth son of the late Right Hon. John Beresford : he was a Midshipman on board the Phoenix, and while loosing the top-gallant-sail in chase of a Spanish frigate, he was unfortunately shaken off the yard by a heavy sea that struck the ship.
The Lord Chancellor Ponsonby continued his sittings in the Court of Chancery every day since the expiration of the late Michaelmas Term, until Wednesday last.
The Magistrates of Limerick have publicly stated that an unusual number of Foreigners and other Strangers had of late sojourned in that city and its liberties, some of whom there was reason to suspect of misleading many, by inciting them to attend those nightly meetings which have disturbed the peace of the country, and accordingly required all such Foreigners, &c. to appear before one of them, to satisfy them of their object in repairing to that city, or else they would be arrested.
The London Gazette of Tuesday contains an order of Council for continuing the bounties granted for the encouragement of seamen and landmen to enter into the Royal Navy, from the 31st of December, 1806, to the 31st December, 1807, with the exception that the rewards to persons procuring seamen and landmen are reduced as follows :- for each, Able Seaman three guineas; for each Ordinary Seaman, two guineas; and for each Landman, one guinea; together with the same allowance for travelling expences as before.
