He received his school See also:education at See also:Kilkenny, whence he passed for a See also:short See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.

order, he, after a brief time of service at Kilkenny, joined the See also:mission in See also:Cork, which was the See also:scene of his religious and benevolent labours for many years.

Meanwhile the expenses of his enterprise had involved him in heavy liabilities, and led on one occasion to his See also:arrest for See also:debt; from this embarrassment he was only partially relieved by a See also:pension of £300 granted by See also:Queen See also:Victoria in 1847. In 1849 he paid a visit to the See also:United States, returning in 1851. He died at See also:Queenstown on the 8th of See also:December, 1856.
