File of papers relating to case of Charles Bastable, County Cork attorney, and his request for a pardon under the great seal, for a conviction against him in 1817. Includes petition of Bastable, of Bettyville, County Cork, to the Lords Chief Justices, detailing the circumstances of a conviction against him, and others, in Cork in 1817, for intent to defraud, on a charge of antedating a promissory note in a bankruptcy case, and his subsequent removal from his professional court work. Bastable details a subsequent investigation which took place, leading to the reinstatement of his right to work as an attorney in the various law courts. Emphasises however the difficulties which he faces because of a point of law which renders him unable to act as witness or make affidavits for his clients, because he holds a previous conviction; therefore requests to be granted a pardon [1821]. Also includes copy of indictment against Bastable [copy prepared at the request of Dublin Castle, by James Chatterton, clerk of the crown for County Cork, 1821]. Also note in hand of Henry Goulburn, Chief Secretary, Dublin Castle, enclosing a copy of a pardon for Bastable, for the signature of Richard Wellesley, 1at marquis Wellesley, Lord Lieutenant, stating that Earl Talbot, former Lord Lieutenant, had decided to grant it; note indicates that Wellesley first referred the matter to Henry Joy, Solicitor General of Ireland, to obtain his opinion on the granting of the pardon [1822].
