Notes for Patrick Toohey: A WEDDING (From a manuscript by Ray Fazakas) In the year 1850 the pastor at St. Patrick's parish in Biddulph was James O'Flynn. Father O'Flynn boarded with the family of Patrick Nangle. In mid-November that year one of his parishioners, a young man named Patrick Toohey, arranged with the priest to marry a neighbor girl, Catherine Tierney. Her father, Cornelius Toohey, thereupon sent over to the priest the marriage fee of one British sovereign. But when on the prescribed day the young couple, accompanied by the wedding crowd, presented themselves at Nangle's house to be married, Father O'Flynn called the young couple inside and informed them that the marriage fee was nine dollars. The sovereign covered part of the fee; to perform the ceremony, he would require four dollars more. The young man did not have the extra money and went outside to inform his father, Dennis Toohey, Sr. Dennis Toohey, Sr. had been born in Tipperary in the year of the rebellion of 1798. In the Old country he had suffered not only the injustices of the English law but also what he considered the exorbitance of parish priests. He was outraged at the demand for more money. He herded his son, now surrounded by his brothers, Timothy, Michael, and Dennis Toohey, Jr., back to the door. Accompanying them was the bride's father, Cornelius Tierney, and the latter's brother, Thomas Tierney. The priest, cane in hand, met them at the door. "They came to bully me into compliance with their wishes," he later desposed, "and to force me by threats to marry a couple for any fee they pleased, contrary to the law of the diocese." First the crowd protested that nine dollars was too much for a marriage. The priest, however, remained adamant. The older Toohey then offered to let the priest keep the sovereign already handed over if he would accept promise of payment of the priest's board owed to Nangle in the amount of four dollars. The priest refused. At this the wedding party stiffened and began to look more and more belligerent. The bride's father, Cornelius Tierney, took hold of his own brother, Thomas Tierney, as if to push him away from confronting the priest. At the same time, he said, "Father, I want no disturbance. I will give you my note rather than see my daughter not married. Please marry them as steady as ye can." "No", replied the priest, "I want Mr. Toohey's note." "I will not give it," Dennis Toohey, Sr., declared. "My word is good enough." The crowd pushed into the house. The priest ordered them out. The senior Toohey refused. "I will not go out as this is not your house. It is Pat Nangle's house." Father O'Flynn then lost his temper. "I will not be run over by a factious mob," he cried, and raised his cane to strike the older man. But the know struck the low-beamed roof and broke off. The priest then took hold of the elder Toohey and tried to push him out. Toohey's sons jumped in and grabbed hold of the priest. "Marry them or give me back the money," old Toohey cried out. The rest of the crowd interfered to part them. Finally, Dennis Toohey, Sr., shrugged and went outside. The others followed. After a short consultation, Patrick Toohey and his brother, Dennis Toohey, Jr., went back in, followed by the bride and her father, Cornelius Tierney. In hand was Dennis Toohey, Sr.'s four dollar note. As they handed it over, however, Dennis Toohey, Jr., muttered something under his breath, at which the priest took umbrage. "Get out!" he said. Young Toohey was not to be cowed that easily. "My father says to marry the parties or give back the money," he said. "No," said the priest. "Get out!" They refused to go. Once more the priest raised his cane. Young Toohey quickly turned just in time for the blow to strike him on the back. "I will hit one of you each day if I have to!" the priest cried. One of the young men then wrested the cane from his hand, broke it in two over his knee and threw it to the floor. Meanwhile, when the crowd outside heard the ruction start up again, they flew through the door and another grappling match ensued. Finally, when emotions had subsided, the priest agreed to perform the ceremony on condition that only the bride and groom and witnesses remained in the house. They demand was complied with and the marriage proceeded. Upon its conclusion, the groom dropped to his knees and begged the priest's pardon. "Begone with ye, ye rascal" the priest cried and struck him in the face with his fist. The next day Father O'Flynn went to the magistrates in Irishtown and laid a charge of assault against several of the men of the wedding crowd. A charge against Cornelius Tierney, the bride's father, was withdrawn but the others were convicted and fined. |
