Letter from an anonymous ‘Irish magistrate’, Bristol, England, drawing attention to a deficiency in the law concerning funds subscribed to the Irish Catholic Association |

TITLE: |
Letter from an anonymous writer styled ‘Hibernus’, Dublin, offering observations on orangeism and the threat represented by Daniel O’Connell and the Roman Catholic Association |
SCOPE & CONTENT: |
Letter from an anonymous writer styled ‘Hibernus’, Dublin, to Henry Goulburn, Chief Secretary of Ireland, Irish Office, London, offering observations on orangeism in Ireland and on the threat represented by Daniel O’Connell and the Roman Catholic Association. Emphasises the limited membership of Orange societies in Connaught, Leinster or Munster, and observes in the province of Ulster most of the gentlemen of influence ‘have within the last 20 years seceded altogether’. To the majority of the Catholic population, he observes, ‘the term Orangeman means every Protestant’. Highlights the danger of the provisions of the emancipation bill [due to be introduced in Parliament by Sir Francis Burdett, MP, in March 1825] and warns we may see Catholicism erected ‘on the ruins of the Protestant Church as by law Established’ in Ireland. |
