'We could vex Lord Doneraile in this Way'Croke (Archbishop Thomas W.) [1824-1902] A very good collection of three ALS to Michael [Murphy], evidently a church administrator at Doneraile, where Dr. Croke was formerly parish priest. All three letters on his headed notepaper from The Palace, Thurles, one dated 1876.The first letter, dated May 11, marked 'Private', states that Mr. Dudley [a teacher?] is leaving Doneraile, 'having been very badly [treated?] by Lord Doneraile.'It occurs to me that we ought to give him an address and testimonial. First and foremost, he deserves it - and, secondly, we could vex Lord D. in this way ..'The second letter, a fortnight later, welcomes the news of a testimonial for Mr. Dudley (as though he himself had nothing to do with it), and promises a subscription of £5. Both with excellent signatures.The third letter, dated 1876, is on a matter concerning cattle.Also with this lot is a small notebook containing church accounts for Doneraile Parish, 1866-1870, signed by Michael Murphy, countersigned in various places by T.W. Croke [parish priest]; and with a cabinet photograph of Dr. Croke (stained).Dr. Croke, from Co. Cork, was educated at the Irish Colleges in Paris and Rome. According to William O'Brien, he was present at the barricades in Paris during the revolution of 1848. He was appointed to Doneraile in 1865, and attended the First Vatican Council in 1870 as theologian to the Bishop of Cloyne. He became Bishop of Auckland in New Zealand in 1870, and was appointed Archbishop of Cashel and Emly in 1875. He is best known for his strong support for the G.A.A. in its early years. (1)

Very Rare 1922 Proclamation - Probably UnrecordedRIALTAS SEALADACH NA hÉIREANN. IRISH PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT.In the Matter of the Treaty between Great Britain and Ireland signed at London on the 6th day of December 1921 .. A PROCLAMATION declaring the Calling of a Parliament in Ireland .. to meet at the City of Dublin on the First day of July next.Published at Dublin this 27th day of May, 1922.(Signed) MÍCHEÁL Ó COILEÁIN (Chairman of the Provisional Government) DIARMUID Ó hÉIGCEARTUIGH (Secretary to the Provisional Government).Broadside poster, 17 ¼ x 22 ¼ ins [44 x 27 cms], on lightish paper, verso blank.Printed by A.T. [Thoms] & Co., 5/22. Fold marks, other minor marks and abrasions, traces of adhesive to rear, generally a clean copy of a very rare item.· On 7 January 1922 the Dail voted by a slender majority to approve the Treaty with Britain. Under the Treaty terms the Parliament of Southern Ireland, set up under the (British) Government of Ireland Act, met for the only time on 14 January in Dublin. It voted to approve the Treaty, and to form a Provisional Government headed by Collins (the anti-Treaty members did not attend). Thereafter the Provisional Government continued in parallel with the Dail cabinet headed by Arthur Griffith. The intention was that an agreed election would be held, which would lead to the amalgamation of the two governments (the so-called 'Pact' election).These plans were quickly overtaken by the drift towards Civil War. The election was duly held on 16 June, but the assassination of Sir Henry Wilson and the attack on the Four Courts followed quickly. The Parliament called for 1 July did not meet until September, when Collins and Griffith were both dead.The present document appears to be extremely rare, possibly unique. We have not seen it before, and cannot find any published reference to it. It was evidently posted, probably in a police station (hence the adhesive residue to rear), but presumably was withdrawn when the Parliament was postponed; most copies would then have been dumped.The present copy is faintly inscribed to rear, in pencil 'Castletownshend'.Provenance: Estate of Edith Somerville.
