BIDDULPH MISSION

THE LATE BAZAAR-FALSE IMPRESSIONS CORRECTED

To the Editor of the Catholic Record.
[...] the Irish Catholics of Biddulph receive from time to time a certain amount of attention from literary thugs, whose vulgar effusions would not be admitted into any journal claiming respectability. The London Advertiser is remarkable for giving shelter to scurillous correspondence at the expense of the Irish Catholics of Biddulph. But of course the elections are four years hence. [...]

Biddulph, Oct. 20th, 1879.

Doubtless a few very bad characteres reside in the Township of Biddulph. We do not know any locality which cannot furnish its qouta of such. We therefore consider the insulting statements about the people of Biddulph, which too often find a place in some of our dailies, entirely uncalled for. Whenever a crime is committed in this section it seems to attain a most unusual amount of notoriety simply because it has happened in Biddulph. We think, it a fair comparision of facts and figures be made, it will compare favorably with any other township in Canada as regards serious offences against the law.–ED. RECORD.
