Padraig O Conaire Memorial Fund CommitteeLetter from [Sir] Samuel O'Malley, Kilboyne, Castlebar to George Charles, 3rd Earl, in which he expresses his regret that 'you will still remain for a time absent from the Commission of the Peace for Mayo' but adds that to question the Lord Chancellor's prudence in removing him 'might possibly be deemed unwise by the Duke of Wellington'. He advises the Earl to ask the Duke of Wellington when he was to be restored to the magistracy. The letter is marked 'private and confidential'.
Sir Samuel O'MalleyMaterials in this catalogue are organised hierarchically and assigned to sub-fonds such as Personal, Academic, or Business papers. These groupings are intended as broad contextual guides rather than strict definitions, and they determine the reference number that is assigned to that particular archive collection (for example A for Academic, P for Personal).
Because many creators’ lives and work do not fit neatly into a single category, some collections include material that might also sit comfortably elsewhere. In some cases, collections that contain academic or literary material have been placed within Personal papers, reflecting how the records were originally grouped or described.
More detailed information is provided at collection and item level.
