CSO/RP/SC/1825/468

Copy letter from Henry Goulburn, Chief Secretary, Dublin Castle, to Robert Henry Southwell, magistrate, Castle Hamilton, Killashandra, County Cavan, offering advice on how to respond to breaches of the law in the form of public processions that are contrary to the Unlawful Societies [Ireland] Act. Such public assemblies, whether by Roman Catholic or Protestant activists, he cautions, must be judged ‘upon the peculiar circumstances’ of the individual procession. If it proves to be the case that a gathering of this sort is not a danger to the peace [such as orangemen or freemasons walking to a funeral or church services], direct intervention is not advisable but rather those taking part should be carefully observed and information taken ‘on oath as to their conduct, composition & objects’.
