TITLE:

File of papers relating to discontent and disturbance in barony of Kilmacrenan, County Donegal

SCOPE & CONTENT:

File of papers relating to discontent and disturbance in barony of Kilmacrenan, County Donegal. Includes petition of Walter Hunter, Letterkenny, County Donegal, merchant, to Richard Wellesley, 1st marquis Wellesley, Lord Lieutenant, Dublin Castle, detailing the impact on County Donegal, of the economic slump following the end of war in 1815, resulting in the subsequent severe distress across the county. Hunter contributes this in large part to the 'Landlords giving countenance to Illicit Distillation', 'the great bane of the County and the primary cause of much discontent to the people…'. Notes that, 'The magistrates being mostly Landlords, seldom wished to aid in suppressing it, on account of their rents being better paid, by the Illicit Traders giving better prices for grain, than it otherwise would sell for and they rather threw [sic] impediments in the way of the Excise officer…'. On the question of tithes, Hunter predicts that if the payment was abolished, it would simply result in landlords expecting 'an increased Rent equal to' the amount saved the farmer; Hunter offers his own solution to the question of tithes. Also attributes the causes of the county's 'discontent' to: absentee landlords; a lack of general education for the population; the conduct of the county's magistrates, who, 'have made a trade of their office and encouraged litigation for their private emolument, rather than to forward the ends of publick [sic] justice..'; and orange processions every summer, which aggravate the Roman Catholic population, Hunter noting that he 'being by religion a Presbyterian, he gives an unbiased opinion..' on the matter'. Hunter concludes by criticising 'several exaggerated accounts of the state of the parts of this County', what have recently been transmitted to government, attributing this to the hopes of some private individuals of obtaining 'lucrative situations for themselves & their friends if the County was proclaimed in a state of disturbance…'. Emphasises that the peace of the county could be preserved by 'an active and vigilant magistracy', and several barony constables, 26 April 1822. File also includes a further petition of Hunter, to Wellesley, denouncing the actions of local magistrates at a recent meeting, in deliberately attempting to portray the barony as in a state of disturbance, in order to obtain the establishment of a police force, and to have a police chief magistrate appointed, noting that 'a Gentleman…has long been canvassing the County for it', 26 May 1823. Also includes petition of the freeholders, merchants, and inhabitants of barony of Kilmacrenan, to Wellesley, denouncing the efforts of a meeting of magistrates convened by the county's high sheriff, to have the barony proclaimed, and emphasising the tranquillity of the area, and the financial 'hardship' which would result for the people, from being forced to support an additional police force; petition signed by 78 individuals, at Letterkenny, 29 May 1823. Also petition of Hunter to Wellesley, 28 February 1824,

Letter from J Hore, offering suggestions on enclosure of common lands and religious antipathies in north of Ireland

SCOPE & CONTENT:

Letter from J Hore, to [Richard Wellesley, 1st marquis Wellesley, Lord Lieutenant, Dublin Castle], concerning the bill brought before parliament by Mr Martin [probably Richard Martin, MP for County Galway], for reclaiming waste lands. Observes that it is 'too complicated', and offers his own proposal, involving government taking control of all common lands, dividing it into plots of 5 to 10 acres, and offering perpetual leases 'at a low rent'. Emphasises the benefits of the scheme, including breaking up the bandittis who currently reside on them. Also details his suggestions for government purchase of bogs, to be leased in a similar way, and comments on the desirability of extending the civil police force to the north of Ireland; observes that the 'Presbyterian & dissenter IE [sic] Orangeman and the Catholic or Ribbondmen [sic] by their dissentions are driving the well disposed member of the Established Church out of the Country'. Describes the 'Orangemen or Presbyterians' as 'avowed enemies of Episcopacy & church Government and in politicks [sic]...rank Republicans…', 23 June 1823. Also letter from Harstonge Robinson, a commissioner of crown lands, to Chief Secretary's Office, Dublin Castle, responding, as requested, with his opinion on Hore's proposal regarding common land, and stating that the scheme is 'vague and undigested'. Warns that it would take a substantial length of time to implement, thus not likely to bring any immediate relief to the unemployed peasantry, 27 June 1823.
