On the 18th of April, a Memorial, concluding with a similar prayer, was received from twenty-one Magistrates of the County of Clare : they mentioned, that houses were frequently plundered of the arms contained in them by disorderly persons, who came froth parts of the County remote from that in which the offence was committed, mounted on horses seized from the owners for the occasion ; and that other outrages of the same character were committed in two- (1) Baronies of the County which. they wished to have proclaimed. In the same month an application to the same effect waszeceived from a Meeting of thirty Magi strates of the County of Limerick, contained in a Memorial, repiesenting the continuance of disturbance in certain districts of that County which (2) were specified; and from Magistrates of the County of Meath, who urged the necessity of enforcing the Insurrection Act in certain Baronies (3) of that County in which disturbance was alledged to prevail. The Lord Justices did not enforce the Insurrection Act, in any instance, in consequence of these Memo rials ; but required the Magistrates by whom they had been preferred to tend depositions on oath of the several outrages which had been committed in their respective Counties. Depositions on oath were ac cordingly transmitted, in consequence of this requi sition, by the several Gentlemen wbo had presided at the Meetings of the Magistrates. Immediately on my return to Ireland, I took into consideration the several applications which I have before mentioned, and though I found in them strong proofs of the spirit of disturbance and lawless com bination which the Magistrates had complained of, yet being naturally reluctant to have recourse to mea: sures of extreme rigour, till all hopes of producing tranquillity by other means should have failed, 1 1 conveyed to the Magistrates my intention still to post pone the enforcement of the Insurrection Act. The - first instance in which I deemed it expedient to call into operation tits provisions of this law oc curred in the County of Tipperary. A meeting of the, Magistrates of this County took place on the 223 of December, 1815, for the purpose of taking the state of it into consideration ; and I received from that Meeting, at which forty Magistates attended, an unanimous application, that six &ironies of the County might be proclaimed under the Insurrection Act. This application was accompanied by fifty eight depositions on oath respect;ng various outrages committed, for the most part, with the view of pro curing arms. . I did not hesitate to give immediate effect to this application. The provisions of the Act, which enabled me to appoint an extraordinary establishment of Police, had been in operation in one district of the County (4) upwards of a year, and in a second (5) about lour months. The exertions of that Police had been un remitting, and many daring offenders had been ap prehended. Among the resident Magistrates great unanimity and cordiality had for some time past pre vailed, and to many of them the utmost credit is due for the zeal and activity with which they discharged their &ales. The combined efforts, however, of the Magistracy and of the Police, aided by a very con siderable military force, were insufficient to contend with that lawless spirit and audacity in the commis, sion of crime, which placed in continual hazard the lives and properties of the peaceable and well-dis posed inhabitants. No less than four attackkhad been made within a short period, by considerable bodies of armed men, upon the coaches conveying the mails through this County, although they were accompanied by a mill-, tory escorts on these occasions some of the chugoons ' were killed, aad other persens wounded. • In the Barony of Kilnemanagh, a house had been hired as a temporary Barrack for the accommodation of a nsiNtary party, which, with the house adjoining it, was entirely destroyed in the month of September by a very large body-of men in stress, provided with various instruments of attack. A mitten notice was left, stating, that it was resolved to destroy, in the, same manner, any house taken by the Government for 'a' similar purpose. Fortunately for the peace of the Country, thirteen persons, together with their leader in this attack (the son of a farmer of considerable property), were capitally convicted at the Special Commission, sub. sequently held in this County in the month of Ja nuary, 1816. The weekly repom made to Government by the Magistrates supoinsending the Police Establishments, mentioned repeated instances wherein the houses of respectable inhabitants had ,been attacked (in some cases in the day time), and the occupiers compelled to deliver up their arms. Several murders had been committed. particularly upon persons employed in the collection or valuation of tithes. One person thus occupied, though accompanied by eight armed (1) Tune sad Iluerattl i • (e) The BARROW of Febbiebrien, Cohn*.

In the early part of the month of September, in consequence of the repeated acts of outrage which were comm:tted in the Counties of Tipperary anti Limerick, and the violent and open manner in which the law was set at defiance, I directed a large tidal tion.al military force, under the command of Lieute nant General Meyrick, to march into these Counties, with the view of aiding the civil power, and giving that confidence to the respectable and viell disposed inhabitants, which might induce there to remain in the country, and co-operate with the Government id endenifecring to maintain tranquillity. On receiving on the 23th of Sentember, the me morial which T have above alluded to, proceeding from an unanimous meeting of forty Magistrates, lost not a moment in issuing a proclamation, with the advice of the Privy Councifo.declaring six ( I) of the Baronies of the County of Tiplielart-to be in'a state of disturbance, and subjecting them to the pro visions of the Insurrection Act. Another (2) Barony of the County was, in a fcw days afterwards, included in this Proclamation, on the application of the Magistrates. In the course of the month of October, another memorial was presented to me from thirteen Magi;- trates of the County of Tipperary, assembled at an extraordinary Session of the Peace, expressing their opinion, that four additional Baronies (not included in; he Proclamations) wrre in a state of disturbance, and praying th tt they also might be proclaimed. Not having had sufficient reason to think that the Baronies last mentioned were in such a state asf dis turbance as to call for the application of any extra• ordinary measure, I directed the Clerk of the Peace to be called upon to furnish the sworn informations of outrages committed, upon which the allegations of disturbance rested. • After a consideration of the cinc.uments with which I was furnished, I did not think the necessity for a compliance with the memorial I have last mentioned sufficiently established. I entertained a confident hope, that if the Act was effectual in the Baronies in which it had been recently enforced, its influence would be felt in those immediately adjoining them. At the latter end of September, I received from forty-seven Magistrates of the County of Limerick, assembled at a Special Sessions on the 26th, a repre sentation that the entire of that County WAS in a state l of disturbance, occasioned by a very general come. deracy asnong the lower orders, and praying that the County might be proclaimed under the Insurrection Act. A memorial was also received, concluding ' with the same prayer, from the Magistrates of the County of the City of Limerick. Having had sufficient evidence that the ordinary operation of the law was inadequate to maintain tranquillity in this county, and that it was in a state of serious disorder, it was proclaimed in Council under the provisions of the Insurrection Act on the 33th of September; anti the County of the City, with the exception of such parishes as are within the City, was proclaimed on the 3d of October. In consequence of the number of prisoners in the gaol of the County of Limerick, I deemed it eve dient to issue a warrant for a Special Cammission, for the purpose of bringing the offenders to trial. • In the early part of November it gave me great satisfaction to be enabled to inform your Lordship, that- since the Insurrection Act had been in force in the Counties of Tipperary and Limerick, compara. tively few crimes in violation of the public peace had been committed in these Counties, and that they had enjoyeJ a state of tranquillity to which they had been unaccustomed for some time past : th tt those.provi sions of the Insutrection Act which give facilities to the Magistrates to recover arms from persons who are not entitled by law to possess them, had operated very beneficially ; and I felt it due to the Magistrates residing in the disturbed districts, to report to your Lordship the great unanitbity with which they had acted, and the strong disposition they had shewn to give effect. by their personal exertions, to the mea• sures 91 Government. At this period I received ad dresses from each of the Grand Juries of the County and City of Limerick, assembled at the Special Com. mission then about to terminate, expressing their satisfaction with the measures which had been adopted for the suppression of disturbance, and conveying an assurance that they had been attended with success. Notwithstanding the intimation which I had' so re. cently conveyed to your Lordship ► that the state of the County of Tipperary was improved, at least there had been of late fewer violations of . the public peace, towards the latter end of the month of No. ember, Mr. William Baker, a Gentleman of consi. derable fortune, ant, of the highest character and re. spectability, was assassinated on his return home from the Special Sessions at Cashel, where be had been discharging his duty as a Magistrate. The circumstances under which this murder was commit• ted, and which were proved in evidence on tiro trial of two persons concerned in it, are strongly indica. tive of that depravity and sanguinary disposition of which this County had preseuted so many lamentable proofs. It appeared that in the month of September a house in the neighbourhood of Mr. Baker's resi dence had been attacked by an armed body of men, and, after considerable resistance on the part of the inhabitants. had been burned. Mr. Bakerhad mined himself with great activity and success in detecting and committing to prison the perpetrators of this out. rage ; and in consequence of his exertions a conspi. racy to murder him was formed in the early part of November. The murder WAS committed on the 27th of November in the day-tiaie, by a party of five persons. It appeared that in consequence of an order which had been issued (it has not been traced from whom) (1) The six Baronies •were those of Middletbird, Kdoetna nagh, Ehogarty, Skwardagh, and Comport, Clanwilliant, and the Eastern Barony of life and Offa.
