To make the troubles still deeper, it often happened that the claimant of the tithes was an absentee the incumbent of many a parish in Ireland left his curate to look after his flock and his tithes alike and the absentee was almost as much hated in Ireland as the tithe-collector.
So he accepted the deed for the two hundred yards of Paradise. A happy thought now struck the Jew. He set off and found the tithe-collector of the revenues of the mosque, and made friends with him.
How much did the document cost you and what did you sell it for?" "Effendim, it cost me two hundred piasters, and I sold it for two hundred piasters." This statement having been proved by producing the deed in question, and the tithe-collector who had given it to the Imam for two hundred piasters, the Jew was acquitted.
