HiLs LoTtrship stated, th:t he had mt copm-municare to them an oc- currenrt v,hich had becn reported to him, by ome ot itheir own body, io have taken plsee. on the 17-th in't. (it. Patrick's Day) in a hortherti part of the couintrv, and to off;r themil iis advice, as to the Teans ofretaining that traniquillity on which he h:dt congratulateO. them ?om the Bench on the very day those ,r. ocecdings took place. Hl{e .tid he alludedto the procession of Ribaidnien at Cushendall and Toome. "In the countici t'frrn whichl nv Ilearned brother Judge anti I have come," said lie, " we have t-ied avariety of mcn, for murders arising from partv proc:ssiont. In this county. on a former occa- sion, I addressel the Grand Jury, reron-lnetndinig the abstaininf fromr such processions ont bothi s:.es. I advised them to put an ert tn all such processions t althougeh I then alludedl to those of the ProtestanLs-the Orange processions: the (latiolics have since followed the example, siupposing that their processions were cqualli legal -and whio will say they are not ? If the Protestants have ' rig.xt to have their processions, vlt)y have ttot their Catholic fellow- subjects an eqtial right to theirs'? Each party, on those occasions, parade with fire-arms; and the processions of each pairty tend to promote tumrult, and to excite paiiftil sensations in the other. I wish everv one of you, gentlemen, whlo feels alarnmed at the proces- sionc of thc Catholics, to consider the cause from which thev arise. I believe, in my conscience. and on my oath, as a jatdze. tiat the one aries From ttc other. Put both down. And I coniurc yost, as you value you, properties in the county, and the peace o> the country at large. to put down both imroartiali'y: for, gentlemen. a circunm atance may be laudable in itself, hot, if it tcivC cause of ofience or irritation to any portion of his M11ajesty's suibjects, it should be avoided. If you, rentlernen, are struck with alarm at the Ca- tholicprocessinns of the 17th instant, judge wvhat niust he the feeling- of the Catholics on the meeting of Orange processions." IRELiAArTD.
