THE MEMORIAL of the legislature of the State of Mssi.-
supp to The Honorable Senate House Of Representa-
tives of the United States, in Congress assembled
our memorialists beg leave respectfully to
unite their voices with those of MANY other of
Their feliow-citizens native and adopted in
tins and other States, in earnestly asking the
just and necessary attention of Congress and
the Government to the suffering condition OF
our Irish American fellow citizen, Edacard
u Nedgher C0ndon who, in the month of Dc
tober, 1867 at Manchester, England was tried,
convicted and sentenced to death on a charge
OF completely in the rescue of two Fenian pris-
oners, Kelly and Deasy, in that city, a few
days previous to the sail Condon's trial We
especially call the attention of your honorable
body to the widespread belief among the Irish
people and their friends of this country, that
Condon hal no fair impartial triat and
that the British Government, acting upon this
belief, have already released other persons con-
vlcted of the same rescue, and upon the same,
and even stronger evidence than that against
Condor; and that CondOns death penalty acas
Ter that reason re7qittfd soon after has c1ngtc-
ton. And yet strange to say, Condor has lam
gulshed in q British dungeon for more than
eight years
Your memorialists therefore pray your hon
orable body to cause the facts and circum
stances of the conviction and detention of the
said E. O'M Condor to be now promptly in
CURED into, with view to ascertain whether
his cause is not one that, for the honor of this
Government, should require interference.
And, in duty bound, your memorialists
shall ever pray, etc.
