One circumstance attending the winding up of the
relief system for the present in this afflicted country,
is, that at a meeting of the committee of Kilmeena and
Kilmaclasser, when all parties and all religious
opinions were represented, the following resolution
was adopted :
Remised -Whereen the fleet great principle of conetitutional law in
I the safety, comfort, happiness, and oreserration of a porde for whom
" reign and princes decree justice," and as such boa tieencerrled
out au the wive nyttem of hgisLition adopted by oar rulers daring the
mod year of unparallelled distress and destitution, by which the
of Ireland hare been preserved from absolute starvation
(but the inhabitants of our own locality in particular), princfpaliy by
the instrumentality of food and labour provided, es under acts of the
legSlature, sa premed by the executive through parliament; and still
convinced that they will nut cease in advancing further measure. for
the regeneration of our country, and the prosperity of her people, evi-
dencing as they have done, their ability to grapple with the most stu-
pendous diftculty, and eventually overcome it we deem ft our
humble duty now to tender (through the relief commissioners at
Dublin), our unfeigned confidence in the administration of the first
minister of the crown, and our sincere thanks for the means confided
to our dispwal for the doehtute of our electoral divisions.
Amongst the gentlemen present when this resolu-
tion was passed was a Roman catholic clergyman,
who, at an early period of this year, signed certain
resolutions against the government, charging the
minister and the administration with inhumanity in
terms the most unqualified and severe.
The case of Mary Donovan, mentioned some weeks
since, atad then a cause of angry commentary against
the Liverpool authorities, turns out no more than a
pauper's tale. She complained to the Dublin guar-
dians that, being a native of Cork, the Liverpool
authorities, despite her protestation, had sent her
with her three children to Dublin. t appears now,
on consulting the records, that she never was under
the disposition of the Liverpool authorities at any
time.
The poor-law commissioners have issued an order
to the Enniecorthy board, in which question of
rating is thus settled. They set forth that, appre-
ciating the circumstances of the country and the
burdens property will be called upon to bear, they
have determined that in any union or division, where
the rate laid on for the present purposes of the poor-
law relief, out-door and in-door, shall amount to 3s.
in the pound, or shall exceed that amount, then no
rate shall be required to be struck for such union or
division, fur repayment of the advances under the
Temporary Relief Act ; where the poor-rate shall not
exceed 3s. in the pound, then the commissioners re-
quire that the difference shall be added, to be applica-
ble to payment of advances. This arrangement to
hold until after January, 1848.
