MAY ~ rIEAsE YOUR ExCEILFNcN We, |
the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgossoj Of |
Dublin, humOly approach your ExcellsnCy, and |
deeply regret 20 assure your ENcelency that |
We have reason to know that during tho present |
winter there will exist in many districts In |
Ireland, and more particularly in the western |
counties, great priv alton, arising from the want |
Of both fuel ard food. We humb'y represent |
10 your Excellency that whilcth eXis Ing laws |
Tor the relief Of the poor provide although ina
dequately means to afford food to the indigent, |
no provisions are contained therein, nor does |
my Hltuln'Ty eNlHl,lOr pToNlulOk luol anu ult- |
ributinR II TO the poor; and, at the same tlme, |
that we Impress upon your oxccllency the inn
portanco Of the government watchfully guard |
ug against the spread Of famine. We desire
more particularly to entreat attention TO the |
ncceafity of having immediate steps taken to |
provide an adequate supply o' fuel for the |
pOor--the want of fuel being even at the present |
time severely felt in many districts Of Ireland, |
and having been tho cause Of much misery and |
disease. We rest assured your eKc,llency will |
direct the attention Of government TO the necos-
sity OF dtylsng means 70 mitigate tn, impend- |
ing calamity"
Ills eNcollcncy replied as follows;
"MY LORD MAYOR AND GENrLEMEN.-It |
must be always pleasing to find any portion OF |
the community sympathisng with the wants |
and prvatiohs of their leGs happily situated |
brethren. The condition of the poor has with. |
out doubt, been unfavorably influenced by tho |
general character Of the weather In the
year wo are Just closing. II continues |
10 engage the wstchiul attention Of the govern
ment. With respect to the article OF fuel, to
which You have prominently edvertod, am |
happy 10 find that, in some OF the cases which
the llWs Of the realm spoCially devised for the
r,ltf Of putlic distress may have failed TO meet,
'ho IbCrality Of the propliotors Of the soil and
me wcalthior class IN the respective noiRhbor-
!ood has been called forth will a visw to in
increase ard distribute the supply Of this essen
al requisite and cannot doubt, that If un-
hiplily further exeTtiOrs should become nccc'-
aiy, the initiative Of relief, at least, would b,
hen by that general public, wnoio bsnovo.
li ce and generosity hayo been seldom invoked
yan.'
Sir Eohct Peel was present with his Excel
leroy. The deputation then withdrew.
At a Subsequent meeting o. tho Town Coun-

pointment as crushing tho hope which they
had ent' rtained Of gottng help even for a few
months" A general feeling prevailed through
