Scope and content
Letter (no 6) from Charles O'Malley to RIchard, 2nd Earl, care of Messrs Coutts, Strand, London, informing him that [George Charles] Lord Bingham gained great ground in the assizes and Sir Neal O'Donnel has come out in support of him 'he will come in without in fact any expense'. He is sending over his account, which dates back to July 1833, with Lord Bingham, who is shortly leaving for London. The arrears will appear heavy due to the hardship of 1822, when 'people were only kept alive by the bounty of English generosity and the assistance and forbearance of their landlords'. There are still a number of holdings lying waste since that time and a large proportion of arrears are insolvent.
