This letter from the Catholic Committee to the Bishop of Centuria, dated February 1791, was issued prior to passage of the bill brought by Charles Butler and the Catholic Committee.

Referenced by: ESTC T051371 ** In 1789 when the action of the "Catholic Committee" threatened seriously to compromise the English Catholics, Walmesley called a synod of his colleagues, and a decree was issued that the bishops of England "unanimously condemned the new form of oath intended for the Catholics, and declared it unlawful to be taken". The issue was over the form of an oath of loyalty to George III, necessary for Catholics to engage with the official world. The previous oath had been defined in the Roman Catholic Relief Act, 1778. On 15 August 1790, Walmesley consecrated Dr. John Carroll, the first Catholic Bishop in the United States of America, at Lulworth Castle, Dorset. Eventually however, a form of words was agreed and The Roman Catholic Relief Act 1791 was passed in 1791 (31 George III. c. 32) relieving Catholics of certain political, educational, and economic disabilities. It admitted Catholics to the practise of law, permitted the exercise of their religion, and the existence of their schools. On the other hand, chapels, schools, officiating priests and teachers were to be registered, assemblies with locked doors, as well as steeples and bells to chapels, were forbidden; priests were not to wear their robes or to hold service in the open air; children of Protestants were not to be admitted to the schools; monastic orders and endowments of schools and colleges were prohibited. - See Wikipedia.

Crawford ('Capt. Jack') New Year 1911".Known as the Poet Scout, John Wallace "Captain Jack" Crawford (1847-1917) was a civilian scout with the 5th Cavalry Regiment during the Great Sioux War of 1876. He joined Brig. General George Crook's command after Custer's defeat and death at Little Big Horn and served as war correspondent for the Omaha Bee. Routinely carrying dispatches along the highly perilous route of 400 miles to Fort Fetterman, he is remembered by his friend Buffalo Bill Cody for delivering not only a letter from General Sheridan but also a full bottle of whiskey. It was, however, his daring 350 mile ride to deliver news to the New York Herald of General George Crook's victory over Chief American Horse at the Battle of Slim Buttes that made him a national celebrity. Subsequently scouting in New Mexico, he then served as a special agent for the U.S. Justice Department for four years before taking to the lecture circuit, gaining in popularity as the "Poet Scout" entertaining audiences of thousands in music halls and on stages throughout the country.
