MR. REDINOTOWS LETTER.

The following official letter from Mr. Redington to
the Lord Chancellor is published in the Dublin Been-
ing Poe :
" Dublin Code, October 6, 1849.
"My Lord,-1 have the boson to tramiait to yea here-
with, by desire of the L ,rd Lieutenant, e sou et the report
of an investigation, held by Walter Berwick, Beg., Q.C., is
pursuance of his Eiteellenoy's instructions, rapes ng certain
occurrenees which took pleas on the 12th of./ sly last in rte
ilas, on the occasion of an Orange pro.

district of 1
eosins.

Having read the report, the minutes of evidence, sad
documents which sccorapitay it, the L .rd Lieutenant nof
opinion that the conduct of °erten manianates, who ar •
eteclally alluded to therein, vie , the Earl of liqtlen Mr.
!men C. Beare, and Mr. William Brew, demands his per-
dealer aolus.

"The premium referred to appear to have consisted of a
very numerous bAy—considerably mark' • thousand
persons is number, several hundreds of whom were &Mad
with guns, seas of which were mutated with bayonets—sod
se armed they marched in regular array, with drums and
banners, along the public road, in open day, for several
miles, from Ballywarsi aura to Tollymore-gark, the s
of Lord Rude.), whence they returned atter remaining some
time in the demesne. It further appears that by previous
arrangement, and direuirce from their leaden, this body
determined to march by a particular line of ros./, en which
was • pass called " Dolly's Brae" (the seen' of • fora,
party conflict), although no seemity existed for their g ins
thereby, and in th.ir march the t residing year they had
avoided doing so. Their forbearance to march through the
Pam on that occasion had, however, been claimed as a
triumph by the catholic party, who now expreestd their
deternmada to prevent the Orangemen from doing so.
and, accordingly, on the ermine of the 12th of July arra-
Med, in great numbers and armed, on one of the adjacent
hills, ostensibly for that 'purpose.
" Hie Breelleney does net think it neensary, in this com-
mturication, to no ice in detail the lamentable ooeurrence•
ohiell'appear to have resulted from the oondat of both
these pries on that ocessioo, as sambaed in Mr. Ber-
wick!. Report. But tee has no hesitation in stating, rut
whether he regards the character of these armed bores, or
the detsmination of those composing them—the one to
eller the passage of the disputed road. and the other to op-
pose them in so doing—each sith force and arnee—he en-
tirely Mien in the opinion conveyed is the report, that
the rambling and marching of lurks eo dangerous to the
public peace was plainly alive ful ; and the conclusion, is
his judgment, is inevitable, that. any magistrate eautraginq
each proceeding' greatly foiled la the &dam of his duty,

and 'trimly taisseind that pubile./mmie which the coo.
mittloa aotarated to him itoiatativly re/pains him to

FlllterTr•
t. The three magistrates whose names I have mentioned
%prier to have so aseducted themselves on this oeurise.
"Mr William Been, who is what is walled the Distriet
Grand Mater of the Orange ksweiation. appears to have
seen concerated in the &novena' of the Orange Tr:v.4.BBton
end its line of marsh. He ordered that it should proceed by
the Mound read,_ and announced that it weld do so; and
be also waited ea Lord Rodeo to request that the body might

deration hie lordship ( who states himself to be Deputy

promise having rendsgrouti at Ball ward
church, were 'rambled in arms in the demean of Mr.
Francis Beers, who is also a member of the Orange body,
.nd from thane they proceeded in their line of march
Mr. Francis Bears had, meanwhile, been informed by Mr.
Fitsmaurice, the stipendiary magistrate, that a consider.
ble body of men, apparently armed, were assembling on the
hill of Magberemayo. near Dolly's Brae, and he was re-
quested to me his Influence to prevent the Orange party
proceeding through the Peas. Mr. Boers stated that he
tad not suffkient influence to effect this—that no human
power cotdd hinder them; and, in fact, no attempt was
cads to prevent the procession Disrobing to the point of anti-
cipated militias.
" It was then arranged that Mears. Beers sad Fitsman-
rice, with the military end police, should precede the pro-
cession' and it was hoped that peace would thus be pre-
served.
" The Lord-Lieutenant hes no doubt that both Mears.
Taboret' end Fitzenturiee. the stipendiary magistrates,
who were present on this occasion, were sincerely anxious
for the preservation of order, and to prevent the effusion
of blood; but he has telt it necessary to communicate to
those gentlemen, that he considers they committed a serious
error in allowing those armed bodies to continue thus un-
lawfully easembled, and that they should not have meted
satisfied with the remonstrances addressed to the leaders of
the two parties, but have taken more determined steps to
prevent the unlawful assemblages and marching which took
purr on that day.
" On the arrival of the Orono procession at Tollymore-
perk, they were received by Lord Rodeo who, joined by
-he two Messrs. Beers, proceeded to his house while the pre-
cession marched peat to • field, where a tent and platform
had been erected, ad refreshment provided for the body by
his lordship. Thither Mr. Fitameuries, the stipendiary err
&trete, had also repaired, to represent to Lord Roden, en'
the of them wietzatos. who were then assembled on the
kill Oho all agreed that it would be dampness to allow Ike
Orange party to some bask by the same road), that an armed
Ribbon pony was stationed sear Dolly's Bea*, and that I
the prooearion returned by that way a maiden was emirrely
to be apprehended.
"Lora Roden in reply stated that he feared he had net
himself snakiest inflames to effect this object, but that he
would speak to the patty, and also to Mr. William Been,
upon the subjest. In the address, however, which he gab-
se quently delivered to the Or age body, he abstained from
any attempt to dissuade them from returning by a route, the
passer along which he had been apprised would be attended
with so muck risk.
" Mr William Beers distinctly adds II the Orange party
to return br Dolly's Brae, although be admits in hiss eel.
donee that it was_ possible the Orange body might h vs been
induced to take his advice, if given, and return home by a
different way. This determination, unhappily, led to the
disastrous eonsequances detailed in the evidence. lair. Francis
Beers had else in the morning received the armed body of
orangeaten in his own &mune. Atter he had been ap.
prised of their object, and the danger attending it, he had
allowed them to pleased through the Posh sad having him-
self sccomptaird them, he must have becomes aware of the
danger whisk *skied ; yet on arriving at Lord Roden'i
park, he again Mandato himself with the ion and,
a'tbough forewarned of the chance of aol be sited no
efforts to prevent the return of the Orange Party through
Doily's Brae.
" The Lord Lieutenant cannel but feel that those who

eanctiond this nurse being taken, or who took no sups to
prevent it, showed themselves most indifferent to the pre-
servation rat the public peace, which, as magistrates, it was
their special duty to maintain.
Ice week atterwards. via., on the 19th of July, a public
diaper—which however had been arranged some time before
the 12th—was given by the Orange body of the district to
Mr. William Been. In his smooch en that ocresion, which
is given in the publie prints end referred to by Mr. Berwick,
this gentleman, who had, previous to the 12th of July,
arranged the line of march of the Orangemen, and who, on
that day, advised them to return by the same road—alluded
to the OCZElffillOil at Dolly's Brae, an Mr. Barwick says, ' in
very unfeeling terms expressive et exaltation at what had
occurred as a triumph achieved by the Orange body over
an enemy deservedly punished'—language which, although
Mr. William Bean in his examination before Mr. Berndt,
declared that he never meant to convey the sentiments attri-
buted to him, but on the contrary, felt regret for what had
occurred—yet was ealculated very mach to shake ail confi-
dent* in the administration of just by him, and to Innate
the party ezesperation whkh then prevailed.
"A subsequent letter which his appeared in the public
prints, with Mr. Beers' sigratare—and the authenticity of
which he has not denied—mast also materially strength=
those feelings.
" It was part of his Execilleney's instruction to Mr. Ba.
wick. in reference to this inquiry, to ' cause effectual step
to be taken for bringing to justice the parties engaged in
this affray or concerned 3n the crimes committed on that am
°anion ; ' and the tensional crown solicitor having been em-
ployed under his directions in procuring evidence which
could, he hoped, eventuate in the prosecution and punish-
ment of those who were engaged in the actual commission
of, or participation in, the outrages then commieted, in..
formations wen amordinely tendered before the magistrates,
at Caitlewellan, against some of the parties, who were known
to have appeared in arms on the 12th of July, for taking
put in the illegal proceeding of that day. Mr. Berwick
attended at the petty sessions for the purpose of explaining
to the magistrates assembled what appeared to him, and
appears also to his Excellency, the undoubted law on the
subject of such assemblies as those then the subject of their
inquiry. It will be men from Mr. Berwick's report, that
his attendance, on this occasicia, was, in • great degree, in-
fluenced by his having been led by the magistrates of Castle-
well= to believe that they were left in ignorance by the
government as to the law upon this subject. Such, hoe.
ever, was not the fact; as, immediately after the 12th of July,
in reply to • communication from Mr. George Shaw, on the
Part olcide brother magistrates, the opinion of the Attorney
o.neral se to the undoubted illegallity of the Dolly's Brae
assemblages, was at once transmitted for the informa-
tion of the Cattlemen= bench. A majority cf the maaiv
tr s, it will be seen, declined to accept Mr. Berwick's view
of the law, and informations were soundingly refused.
" His Excellency has learned from the official reps rte made
to him that Lord Roden attended on that occasion in
his magisterial capacity—took part in the proceedings—
made a speech on the subject, and voted with the majority
of the magistrates in refusing to take informations. This
proceeding on the part of his lordship spun to his Excel-
lency deserving of grave observation. Lord Roden had on
the 12th of July, as above stated, identified himself to •
certain extent with the proceedings of the armed awemblsge
Or Orangemen who came to his demesne, and it involved
him in the reepooldbility attached to them. He was aware
that his conduct in this respect had been publicly maligned ;
much of the evidence given before Mr. Berwick tend. d di
reedy to implicate him as abetting and encouraging the pro-
ceedings of an unlawful useably, and he was himself
=mined as a witness in the course of the inquiry.
" It =pun to his Exceliency destructive of public confi-
dence in the administration of justice, that a magistrate thus
circumstanced should take part in the judicial consideration
of proceedinse, the object of which was to determine the
complicity, or otherwise, of out iv nudes in the acts of en
assembly charged to be illegal, • Nth he himself had sanc-
tioned and encouraged, and in whose offence against th.
law (if any had been committed), he became arum directly
unearned.
" On a full consideration of the entire case, the Lord Lieu-
tenant has come to the conclusion, that a due regard for the
inure preservation of the puce io the district in question,
and for the administration of jus-ice therein, in • manner
*hi= will be entitled to public confidence and respect, im-
peratively requires that the magistrates whom conduct he
has thin noticed, should no longer discharge the important
functions end duties of that office, and I am therefore desired
to convey to your lordship his Excellerey's recommendation
that the Earl of Roden, Willem Sem, and Francis C. Beers,
Enquires, be superseded in the comentssion or the peace
whisk they new hold..—l have the honour to be, dm.,
