OF ThS STATZ PRIWN;US CONFtJED IN XILMAIN-

HAM GAOL,

To His Excellency Pu IL It, Eati of .Hatd.vicke, Lord
Liegtenant-General, &c.
MAY IT ?LEASE YOUR ExcisLl.Riccr,
We the undersigned, detained as State-Prisoners
in the Gaol of Icilinainham, beg most respeetfully
to represent to your Excellency, that we -labour
under a severity of confinement and ill usage, as-
much without precedent in the case of any tor Mer
State Prisoners; as it is without justification in any-
possible object of policy or of sue custody, and
without cause in the demeanour of one of us.
We continue deprived of all social intercourse, as
we are of air and exercise sufficient u cOunterad
theetii;ds o: fopi, bad in its finality, .and loathsorne
in its service. We are kept constantly locked up,
and without attendance sufficient'even for the occa,
sions mauve; in short, we experience a treat-
ment rather calculated for the-custody of untamed
beasts,. than men.
We cannot enter into a statement of our many
Snd heavy grievances ; we cannot form a theinori,d
of them, as a permission which we solicited to meet
together, even under ins-peCtidn, for the purpose of
addressing your Excellency, has been peremptorily
refused to us by our superintendant, Dr.Trev,or, from
whom we receive as answer to remonstrances against
the harshness of our treatment, that it has not only
a sanaion, but its origin, la. the express dire&ions
of your Excellency's Government ; this we must
doubt, and believe to be as great a misrepresentation
of- your Excellency's benevolence and of •yaur Go-
vernin,lit, as it is oppressive to us.
We brelk a silence, under which most of us have
suffered tOr nine uipnths past, the observance of
which was occasioned by constant expeaation- of
amelioration from that department of your &ed.!
lency's Government to which applications have re-
peatedly-been made by many of our friends.
We now appeal to your Excellency, whose jus-
tice and humanity we are convinced will recoil at a
severity to which any plea of necessity, or principle
'of policy refuse a sinetion; and we pray, through
an investigation of our condition, opportunity to de-
tail to your Excellency the hardship of it. •

A. M:•URSDEN.

To His Excellency PHILIP, Earl of liardwieke, boat
aitti Gctpir4l Governor of Ireland.
The Memorial of the undersigned,' Prisoners in
, his Majesty's Gaol of Kilmainham, charged with
matters of treason,
Sheweth, •
. That Memorialists have generally been able,
whilst at large, by their ONII industry, to maintain
theMselves in 'a mintier -'hick makes their, present
treatment appear very
That a constaut,enjoyment of many things which
haVe thus become, in some rn_.::sUre,.the necessaries
oi life, 'render them nearly indispensable.
That Memorialists have bread and a pint of small
becr for breakiast ; their dinner generally fresh boil-
ed beef,. of an inferior quality, and often scantily
served ; that they have also lately been deprived of
'Candles. They mention this fare as a contrast with
that received some time back, whiCh was, tea, bread,
and bUtter, for bieakfast, something comfortable
and different each day for dinner, and a moderate
quantity of punch ; which treatment gave general
satisfaCtion.

That. very many of Memorialists. have been con-
fined ou tile felons' side of the prison for a consi-
dOrabiF time, without any provisions from the State,
but kept on the common (county) allowance-7—two
loaves per ,veek, a pint of Milk each day,and water.
That they conceive themselves as justly entitled to
as good usage as others, under similar charges, con-;
fined here.

. • .
That Memorialists beg to state the hardship- they
sutler by nut having the liberty of seeing their friends,
except thrice a week in the presence Of a.keeper, for
only fifteen minutes, and they humbly request that
they may have the comfort of freely seeing and con-
versing with their friends in their own apartments. -
That several of Memorialists are far removed from
all. they hold dear, and many have exhausted their
resources in heretofore providing such things as they
stood in. need of at t heir own expence.
That Memorialists, therefore,. humbly hope your
Excellency will give such . order for their better
treatment-as to your v. isdom and humanity shall
seem proper, and that. your Excellency will be pleas-
ed to consider that there is something necessary to.
soften the rigours of a tedious invrisonment. And--
your Memorialists, as in duty bound, will pray, &c.
