A Catholic in penal times was presumed guilty of disloyalty to the authorities unless he could prove himself innocent. To avail of the provisions of the Catholic Relief Acts, from 1778 he had to take an oath of loyalty at the assizes in the county town. The names were then registered in the Catholic Qualification Rolls according to surname, Christian name, occupation, address, date and place of taking the oath. These lists are a valuable addition to local and family history.
The following is from the Clogher Record, published, and transcribed from MS 2486 in the National Library of Ireland, where the author, Rev. P. O. Gallachair, used the microfilm copy of the ms. (Neg. 1898-9; Pos. 1898-9 and also from MS aA.52.77 in the PRO in Dublin. List no. I comes from the NL Manuscript, list II comes from the PRO Dublin. [The do. after the names is ditto. A list for County Fermanagh is also printed in the Clogher Record.]
