HE was a priest, and had charge of a parish in the neighbourhood of Dublin. 

The heretics took him prisoner, and sent him to the city. 

He was put to death rather from hatred to the Catholic religion, which he upheld with great zeal, than for the reason alleged against him, namely, that he had frequently given hospitality to the priest F. Rochford.1

He was hanged and quartered, and in this way died gloriously July l, 1581.

For an account of F. Rochford, see Hogan’s Distinguished Irishmen, p.17. He died at Lisbon in 1588.

Rothe gives in the list of laymen who suffered for the faith, Matthew Lamport, ‘a man of very tender conscience, who was hanged and quartered because he had received into his house James Eustace, Baron of Baltinglass, who was brought almost to death by hunger.’

Please pray for final perseverance for all of us!
May the martyrs of old inspire us all.
