he address of the Limerick trades :

" Prison, House of Commons, May 12, 1846.
" Sir,—The resolution of the congregated trades of Lime-
rick have reached, and now cheer my prison.
" When I have been told that the Irish people are fickle—
when I have been told that they would desert me even after
I have sacrificed my personal liberty in attempting to give
effect to their declared wishes, I Junco answered, ' the mil-
lions will do their duty.'
" My pledge has been redeemed by the congregated trades
of Limerick. From my heart I thank them.—l have the
honour to be your obedient, faithful servant,

" WILLIAhi S. O'BRIEN.

The following has been addressed to one of the Ward Clubs
of Limerick :

" "Prison, House of Commons, May 13, 1846.
Sir,—The manly address of the members of the Richmond
Ward Club has afforded me much satisfaction.
" I rejoice to find that they consider the contest in which I
am engaged as not one of a personal nature, but as connected
with our great struggle for national freedom.
" In sustaining me, therefore, they maintain the character
and the cause of the Irish people.
" Whilst I repudiate all whining condolence, I accept with
pride such support as that which the members of the Rich-
mond Ward Club have offered.
" I have the honour to be, your obedient, faithful servant,
