Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ulster Biographies: Relating Chiefly to the Rebellion of 1798 It is certain that great civil and religious Oppression existed in Ireland during the last century; but we must remember that measures of reform have now been granted more radical than Porter was hanged for demanding. From this fact a strong argument may be drawn for maintaining the supremacy of the Imperial Parliament by which these grievances have been removed. The Irish people have no longer to support a Church to which they do not belong; rents are no longer fixed by the landlords themselves, and justice is no longer administered by the Agent and the Rector, but by impartial tribunals. While I condemn the system of landlordism that prevailed in the past, I have no intention of making any attack on the present landlords. Almost all the conditions of their ownership have been so much modified that very little of what applied to their political position in 1798, has any reference to it now.
