TO THE EDITOR or THE STATEKNIAN.

Sta—When the Union s:ript Ireland of its nobility,
by transplanting them to England, their shoes were
immediately stept into by the gentlemen of the Ltw;
who purchased their town an.i country houses, and
tviio not only set np equipage' and establishments !lie
most splendid, but assumed touch more consequence,
and exercised much more power than their predeces-
sors, the noblesse. The Courts of Justice heca,ne the
Court of the caun'ry, and judos, barristers, and at-
tornies, became monarehs, princes, and nobility.
