Autobiographical memoir of Canon James Casey (1824-1909). At pp 21-6 reference is made to Casey having taken the pledge from Fr. Theobald Mathew OSFC on 22 Sept. 1840. He writes ‘I remember well the crowds and the crushing. … The people were got to kneel down in rows while enthusiastic priests rode among the vast multitude to keep order. The great and special graces showered down that day will never be known till the day of judgement’.
