Thecharacterofthemenhiredto compassthelifeofDr.Plunketisthus describedbytheProtestantBishop Burnet:

"Plunkett,thePopishPrimateofArmagh,wasatthistimebroughttohis trial.Somelewdmenofthatnation, hearingthatEnglandatthattime wasdisposedtohearkentogood swearers,thoughtthemselveswell qualifiedforthatemployment,andso theycameovertoswearthatthere wasagreatplotinIrelandto bringoveraFrencharmyandtomassacrealltheEnglish.Thewitnesses werebrutalandprofligatemen,yetthe EarlofShaftesburycherishedthem much.TheywereexaminedbyParliamentatWestminster,andwhatthey saidwasbelieved."

Oneofthereallysignificantevents inthehistoryoftheCatholicChurch inAustraliainthelastfewyearsis theassumptionbyHisLordship,the BishopofWagga(MostRev.F.A, Henschke,D.D.)ofthepostofEpiscopalChairmanoftheNationalCatholicRuralMovement.For,althoughit hasbeenpopularlyrealisedinother countriesthatCatholicActionMovementsareofficialbodiesparticipating intheapostolicmissionoftheChurch, thisisthefirsttimeinthehistoryof thiscountrythatanationalspecialised MovementofCatholicActionhasbeen givenanepiscopalleader,thussymbolisingtheintimateunionbetweena laybodyandtheofficialChurch,and thefundamentalincorporationofthe formerinthelatter.
