STERNER SENTENCE FOR CATHOLICS
VIOLATE CIVIL AND CHURCH LAW IRISH JUDGE'S PRACTICE Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyrigh; LONDON,, February 3. (Received February 4, at 11.10 a.m.) The ‘ Guardian’s ’ Dublin correspondent says that Mr Justice Walsh, when trying cases of illicit whisky distilling in Donegal, where the offence is rife, ascertains the accused’s religion. If he is a Catholic lie imposes a sterner sentence on the grounds that lie violated both the civilian and the church’s commandment, as Catholic bishops recently condemned illicit distilling. The judge, who himself is a Catholic, holds that the notion that the law courts are concerned only with a man’s civic and not his religious duty, is the unfortunate result of the British regime of secularism, and must be corrected now. The Free Stftte is essentially Catholic.
