It may not be amiss to relate two or three illustrations of theworking of these laws, and also of the way in which they were evaded.
In the year 1776, Mr. Thomas Stephen Coppinger lived on his family estateof Carhue in the county of Cork. His ancestors had eschewed politics, andhad retained their property and their religion for a century and a halfwithout molestation. Now, however, his first cousin, Thomas JohnCoppinger, laid claim to half the estate on the plea that it should havebeen "gaveled..., " or divided between the sons, when his grandfather diedwithout leaving a Protestant heir, such being the law at the time. Inorder to force his cousin to consent, Thomas John became a Protestant andthreatened to file a bill of discovery; which meant that he would giveformal notice that his cousin was "discovered" to be a Catholic. By goingthrough this form he could claim the whole estate. Thomas Stephen wasadvised to _go through the ceremony of conforming_, but refused onprinciple. The case was tried, but in the existing state of the law therewas no redress, and half the estate, with the family residence, was givenup to Thomas John.
