1. Clancy, more painstaking in his wickedness than ever he was in the discharge of his duties, has opened gates for a Congregation this morning, intending no doubt to say Mass.

2. Sunday. Clancy's doors were thrown open today for Mass, which he celebrated.

3. All Souls' Day. Again this morning Clancy assembled his schismatical Congregation for Mass.

Wrote by Packet to sail tomorrow to Mr. Troy, D^r Taylor, and my brother Thomas. Requested Mr. Troy to procure for me copies of two wills of Drs. Thos. and Alexander Taggart. To D^r Taylor to say if Butler has not already started, that I would wish to break off negociations [sic] with him.

6 November 1845. Fr. Joachim returned last night from Berbice, and gives a sad account of the want of faith and ignorance of his countrymen there.

Settled my accounts with Taggart yesterday.

7. A very wicked falsehood perpetrated by the girl Pamela belonging to Miss Brereton, against Martha MacKenzie and Ed: Firebrace has been acknowledged by her this morning. She asked pardon and obtained it of the young person she sought to injure.

8. Clancy's ramblings by night are exciting general attention. A few nights ago he was found stretched on the grass somewhere near Cuming Lodge in a state of beastly drunkenness. A black woman (a Protestant) picked him up and, with the assistance of a man who chanced to be passing by at the time, brought him to the "Convent". The gate was opened by the woman Hopkinseth.

The woman who mentioned this disgraceful fact to Miss Ann Campbell did so, she said, with great reluctance.

Last night late at night he was seen with two others near the Colony Hospital in a state of drunkenness, but still able to walk.

10. Married the Portuguese Valladares to the girl Lydia Graham - a case which gave me much trouble.

Forgot to notice at the proper date the sale of my phaeton and harness - the former was sold by Mr. Ruston to some person up the Coast for $140 - the harness by Mr. Taggart for $20.

Visited the Hospital this morning accompanied by Fr. Joachim. Received with much impertinence by the acting Steward.

There are 39 Portuguese patients at present under treatment. Many have died without the Sacraments - they themselves think little about preparing for death, and the folks of the Hospital care little for calling a priest.

11 November 1845. The mail has arrived and brought me intelligence of my poor, dear mother's death which took place on Thursday the 2^nd. of October at 1/2 past 9 at night.

She surely is in heaven, at rest, and away from the toils and troubles of this life, of which she had her share. The affectionate attention of her daughters Catharine and Eliza during her protracted illness affords me great consolation.

Received letters also from Bishop Olliffe, Bengal - and M^'y Kelly, Florence.

13. Paid Miss Gahan's account for C. Murdoch - Jeannette, it is said, has been seen at D^r Clancy's on last Sunday. Certainly she was not in church. I have taken upon myself a very troublesome and thankless office to oblige D^r Murdoch in acting as his Attorney in reference to these children.

15. Eleven German Catholics have arrived - poor people - they do not understand a word of English.

Judge Firebrace has it upon the authority of somebody, that at a late debauch, Clancy and P. Norton were found at 4 o'clock in the morning locked in each other's arms, dead drunk.

Sunday 16^th. November 1845. Clancy's conventicle was open today, but the gathering was very thin.

Applied a plaster to my side this morning.

18. Wrote by Steamer sailing this evening to my sister Catharine and to Bishop Olliffe.

Three or four days ago, saw a party going in to Clancy's to have a child baptized.

On Sunday last he gave Communion to a few of his deluded followers.

19. Clancy has had a baptism today again. A cartload of furniture went today from Clancy's - sold perhaps to his friend MacNulty.

21. Feast of the Presentation. No appearance of Festival next door.

Fr. Joachim has returned from a visit to Fr. Joach Knaresboro's district, where numerous Portuguese are located.

22 November 1845. Another Norton (Patrick) has arrived - accompanied by MacNulty he visited Clancy yesterday. This is most indecent.

T. Burke was there also yesterday, paying as he said the balance of the account for the education of his daughter.

23. Clancy said Mass today, and kept up the usual noises during our service.

A Portuguese man murdered last night an unfortunate woman (a Creole) with whom he had been cohabiting for the last five years. This man was admitted last week to Communion by Fr. Joachim, who could not have been aware of the manner in which he was living.

24. The unfortunate woman murdered on Saturday was, it seems, a Roman Catholic.

Sent Fr. Joachim and Mr. Reed to her funeral.

Fr. Joachim gives me a sad account of his countrymen, saying that the Catholic Religion has no greater enemies in the Colony.

The conduct of the Portuguese gives me much uneasiness. I now begin to think any increase of their numbers a calamity. Fortunately, however, their ignorance of English prevents them from spreading their noxious opinions.

25^th. November 1845. Mr. Cullen's father writes that Mr. Coyne informed him that he was expecting Clancy home some months, and that Mrs. Cantillon was doing penance in some Convent at Rome! This is likely to be a true story as regards Cantillon.

28. The mail came in last evening and brought me letters from the Council of the Propagation at Paris, Bp. Murdoch, Rev. Psailla and Mr. Jerningham.

30. First Sunday of Advent. Clancy has had his usual gathering today. Whilst I was preaching the noises, which had ceased, recommenced. T. Burke, who is in the habit of talking very improperly concerning Clancy and excusing his longing for his restoration, was in church, as was also his daughter, another partisan of Clancy's.
