SHEKLETON, Secretary. is unnecessary now to refer to them again. The only works, on the schedule, it is necessary to refer to parti­ cularly, are Nos. 1 and 2 in the Barony of Ardee, both new roads left unfinished when the Relief Works carried on in 1847, in this County, were stopped. The first leads from the road near the Rev. Mr. Olpherts, at Cookstown, to the end of Mr. Singleton’s new road, in the County of Meath, and the second leads from Ardee, through the Bog of Ardee, to the same point, grafting into the first at about a quarter of a mile from the County boundary: both are works of im portance, as they open up a hitherto closed bog district, and they Louth Countywere selected, Archives formerly, by a Committee of your body as useful works. The sums at present applied for, will not complete these roads, and further presentments will be required from time to time for that purpose, but the sums on the schedule are moderate, for the works now proposed to be executed viz., building the gullets, and completing the forming and metalling, to a certain extent, as pointed out in the specification. The resolutions passed by the Grand Jury, at the last Assizes, with reference to the crossings of the Dublin and Belfast Junction Railway at the County roads, have as yet been only partly complied with by the Company. The Forkhill bridge and the bridge leading from Dunleer to Grange-bellew, have been both in part taken down by the Company and rebuilt, and the bridge at Grange-bellew has been widened. The designs for the other bridges have been altered so as to give carriage-way of from 25 to 35 feet, increasing according to the traffic at the respective crossings, and the obliquity of the skew. I have entered into the following arrangement with the Company's Engineer respecting the crossing subject to your approval. No 1, Termonfeckin road, arch 35 feet, span at least, direct Carriage­ way, 25 feet at least. No. 2, Townrath road, 25 feet, with approaches to please. SUMMER ASSIZES, 1848. 11 10 PUBLIC ORDERS,
