crowded by a report that a Gentleman of one of the
first families in Ireland was to put in a claim to wait
upon the King with a measure of potatoes, in a olden

trouble—a claim said to have been established at the
last Coronation. The claimant, however, did not
make his appearance.

Manor of (itou:estershirv, claiming the honour to wait upon his
Majesty at the Coronation with a basin and ewer of gold, con-
taining water, and receiving the same as a reward for his service.

alght he allowed to perform the service of Usher of the White

Aial he also prayed to be permitted to perform one of those

''.red to say, generally, what was the nature of the proofs he had
to adduce? lie stated, that their I.ortlships would see in his
Petition, that his claim was rauaded upon historical evidence
aad authentic documents; and that it was supported by proving,
ii the first place, that there had been no lathes on the part of his
aucesturs, in claiming those honours—and, in the next, that if
there had been ai:y lathes, that was no bar to his claim.
Upon the Riches being mentioned, his Renal highness the
Duke of Clarence asked Mr. D. whether he was not a Catbolk
Upon his Lein..! answered in the affirmative, his Royal Highness
said, that possibly it raight be upon this ground that the non-
