Letter from Major Thomas D’Arcy, inspector general of police for the province of Ulster, Belfast, County Antrim, to William H Gregory, Under Secretary of Ireland, Dublin Castle, indicating a breach of the law will likely occur in the baronies of Belfast Lower and Kilconway in County Antrim by orangemen going in procession on the 12th of July.

Encloses a report from Lieutenant Henry Ross Lewin, chief constable of police, Ballynure, barony of Belfast Lower, County Antrim, reporting the presence of a palpable ‘spirit of party’ in his district and asking for instructions in dealing with the advent of a public procession of the orange order on the 12th of July.

Remarks as they made their way back to Dunloy the marchers were ‘met by a Party of Ribbonmen about thirty in number wearing Branches of trees consisting of Green and white colours in their Hats’. Notes in approval that ‘no fight’ took place between the opposing factions but a good deal of noise and cheering. Conveys local fears that the next fair in the town of Newtowncrommelin will be ‘very bloody’ in nature since both sides are likely to assemble in large numbers. Asks for formal instructions on how the police should act in such circumstances.
