CONVICTS AT CORK.

ON THE TREATMENT OF THE CONVICTS AT CORK.

[From the Cork .eidverti4er of the 98th of June.]

-H:The London Morning Chronicle of the 234 inst.
contains a paragraph falsely and scandalously re-
flecting upon the character of one of the first .and
most respectable physicians in our city, Dr. Halto-
m:it. It consists of an extract front the report
of the 'Commissioners lately 'appointed to inquire
into the treatment of' the Convicts destined for
transportation ; with a Commentary, manifestly
not written in London, hut transmitted from this
city by some-skulking calutmiator, to whom, from
old recollection, tae name of the Doctor is, tia-
-Inrally enough, obnoxious. In this he.is pointed
out as being deeply concerned in a traud-upon
the helpless prisoner, and the bounty of Govern-
ment ; and his continuance in th:: situation which
he holds is vehemently exclaimed against, as a
disgrace to the country. The falsehood and ma-
'evidence of charge must be manifest to any
one who knows any thing of the transaction.
Whatever tie,y he the case, Dr. 11. could be in no
milliner implicated in any fraud, it fraud existed,
-as he neither • directly or indirectly received any of
the subsistence money of the_cOnvicts. But he was
bound, it is urged, to attend•to their health and
rood. He was indeed bound to attend them as
a physician, and, consequently, to take care that
-their food was of stifficiew quantity and quality
to preserve their health ; but with any money'
transactions concerning it, he had' no 'more to do
than the jailer had with administering medicines.
That he well and skilfully discharged his duty,
the uncommonly healthy state of the Convicts, at the
time of their leaving the harbour, is an ample
and undeniable proof. Why then did the
Correspondent of the Morning Chronicle (for
we • repeat it that the paragraph is Cork
manufacture), select him as an object of
abuse ? The answer to this question is in the ar-
ticle itself, because " he is one of the loyal
Orangemen of Ireland, the Supporters of Ascen-
dancy iitid the advocates of Insurrection Laws."
Trite it is, that Doctor Harding is a man who, in
the Most dangerous times, stood forward as an
advocate of loyalty—as an enemy of treason and
•rebellion—and his exertions in that cause, exer-
tions which were mainly instrumental in keeping
insurrection and massacre from thii city—will
never be' forgiVen. Had he trailed a pike at Vi-
negar Hill, or-spent half llis•life in jail for writing
treasonable libels, he would have been a fit ob-
ject for the praise of the Morning Chronicle and its
Cork Correspondents.
We have avoided entering at present into any
consideration .of the general question concerning
the impOted frauds, particularly as it may soon
become an object of Parliamentary inquiry. We
May hereafter recur to the subject. At present
we shall only observe, that when this matter is
lairly and thoroughly examined, nothing Will he
-found that can, lower in the estimation of the
public the very respectable individuals who have
borne the office 'of' Sheriff.
