Papers relating to an altercation between George Charles 3rd Earl and St Clair O'Malley in the Petty Sessions Court, Castlebar on 22 Oct 1842, which resulted in both of them forfeiting their positions as magistrates. The Earl took the case to the House of Lords in August 1843, where it created quite an amount of debate. The Duke of Wellington eventually settled the matter and both parties were subsequently restored to the magistracy in October 1843. The printed copies of correspondence were produced for the Houses of Parliament and contain copies of letters, newspaper extracts and plans of the courthouse.
