July 1^st. Leonard is gone to La Grange - a two months infliction at an end.

July 2^nd. 1845. Clancy's suit against MacNamara for passage money (30£) was tried today and will go against him. The Judges have not as yet pronounced judgment but there can be little doubt that it will be against him.

7^th. Judgment is given in the above suit in favor of MacNamara - with costs.

12^th. The mail has come in - 8 p.m. - and has brought letters from Mr. Troy, Grantley Berkeley, Rev. Hand, and D^r Butler.

13^th. Sunday Clancy's conventicle has more visitors than usual today - there appears to be something astir there. Noticed young (William's) daughter, and T. Burke's daughter going in.

14^th. Heard this morning that Clancy announced yesterday that he had letters from Rome to the effect that I was to be recalled, that the Propaganda censured my attack upon Lord Stanley and Governor Light, that he was to be placed in immediate possession of the church etc. etc. I have not learnt who made this communication, but suspect that it is all a fabrication got up by himself, Cantillon and Donovan.

17. There is another version of what occurred on Sunday, and that is, that both Bishops are to go to Rome etc.

19. Wrote letters today to go by tomorrow's steamer to Cardinal Fransoni - D^r Butler, Rev. R. White, Revd. J. Hand, Mr. Troy and Sergeant Murphy.

21. To Mr. Troy intimated that W^m. Lee was disposed to make trial of an overseer's situation, and that I was on the look out for one for him.

Heard that Clancy walked out in Pontificals accompanied by Rissert to attend some funeral whilst I was hearing Confessions in the church on Saturday evening last.

25. There is a story, told by Roney, of Clancy's having drank [sic] at a party (the Natons and another) 22 tumblers of brandy and water!!

Names of parties at present residing in B[ritish] Guiana who have either apostatized from the faith, conceal their profession of it, or who live in a total neglect of all the outward observances of it:

1. Jean Van Waterschoodt, Inspector General of Police; a Frenchman. He has been but once in church since my arrival. His wife comes regularly to Mass on Sundays, and has been once or twice at Communion.

2. Mr. Chégnier (brother of Mrs. Van Waterschoodt) - a Frenchman, has been seen only once in the church.

3. D^r Manget - son of N. M. Manget, one of the members of the old Catholic Committee - passes for a Protestant.

4. A son of Mr. Milne (Frenchman) was lately married by a Scotch minister. He passes for a Protestant, although he was baptized in the Catholic faith.

5. A Miss Sils - daughter of a former member of the Catholic Committee, baptized by myself - was lately married to young Milne and has abandoned the faith.

6. James Hacket, native of Dublin, passes as a Protestant. I know his family, who are very religious Catholics. This is his second apostacy [sic] - for when formerly in the Colony he passed also as a Protestant - on his return to Ireland in 1835 or 1836 he resumed his old religion, and as I have been informed, went to the Sacraments.

7. William MacNulty passes as a Protestant altho' it is well known that he was born of Catholic parents and professed the Catholic religion for many years.

8. Peter Norton, brother of the Judge, has never been in the Catholic church since my arrival. He has been seen frequently in the Protestant church.

9. Hugh Norton, brother of the last named, has never put his foot into the Catholic church.

11. A Mr. Clunes, a foolish hotheaded young partisan of D^r Clancy, has also abandoned the Church.
