\ PREFACE.

The following Report of Proceedings in relation to the origin, prosecution, and erection of the O'Connell National Monument,

in the City of Dublin, is the result of a Resolution passed by the General Committee, at one of their latest meetings, July 17th, 1883. It was then ordered, that the Treasurers and Honorary Secretaries should prepare a final Report, and they were empowered to incur any expense necessary for that purpose. The Trustees of the Fund appointed by the Master of the Rolls, July 19th, 1877, were the following gentlemen, viz.:—Alderman Denis Moylan, William Lane Joynt, D.L., Alderman John Campbell, and Edmund Dwyer Gray—the latter being also Honorary Secretary. To carry into effect the foregoing Resolu- tion, William Lane Joynt, Esq., D.L., Edmund Dwyer Gray, Esq., M.P,, and Rev. John O'Hanlon, P.P., were appointed a Sub-Committee, to arrange the details of publication; and, accordingly, they met on the 23rd of November succeeding, when after discussing and considering the best method to be

adopted for the purpose, it was resolved, that the Rev. Mr. O'Hanlon be requested to undertake the preparation of the Volume, not to exceed an ordinary octavo in size, the proofe to be submitted to the Committee when ready, and he was authorised to call in any assistance that he might demand. It had been projected to issue a compendious and yet a tolerably comprehensive Life of O'Connell, in connexion with project the present Report ; but, as the completion of that should involve considerable additional delay, it is now deemed

advisable to postpone it, at least for the present. Hitherto, no biography of the illustrious Irishman has appeared, except in an abridged or imperfect form, but in no sufficient manner fully setting forth the extent of his labours, sacrifices, and triumphs, or the noble traits of his character and exalted genius. With every desire to expedite the issue of this Report, yet delays were

unavoidable, owing to a pressure of public and private business and duties on the Members of the Sub-Committee. The nature of the compilation itself, chiefly taken from the Record and Minute Books of the O'Connell Monument Committee, was necessarily complicated and intricate, requiring the greatest care and super- vision, especially to tabulate and include all the Names, Addresses, and Subscriptions as furnished to the Honorary Secretaries. Owmg to the manner in which returns of Local Collections, with omissions of partieulai's, had sometimes been sent to the Committee, individual Subscriptions could not always be inserted in a form for orderly publication. Although the sums collected in the respective localities are acknowledged

in the gross, yet, thus it has happened, the names and addresses of individual Subscribers are often unnoted, because they had not been furnished as required. Notwithstanding the foregoing and several other impedi- ments, the printing of the Report had been fully completed before the lamented death of the most efficient and able Honorary Secretary, Edmund Dwyer Gray, at the comparatively early age of forty-two years, on Tuesday, March 27th, 1888. Not alone to the Committee, but to his country at large, was this patriotic gentleman an irreparable loss. The sole surviving Honorary Secretary can justly testify to that zeal and earnestness he evinced, worthily to complete the work, originated by his public spirited and distinguished father, Sir John Gray. To him, Ireland has already manifested her sense of gratitude. His son has deserved the universal respect of his countrymen, likewise, and it should be demonstrated in some visible form. Highly esteemed and admired for his integrity and excellence

of character and for his splendid abilities ; at no distant date, it

is to be hoped, that Ireland he loved so well and so faithfully served, shall not be unmindful to commemorate in some public manner the devotion of Edmund Dwyer Gray to her cause, and in some measure commensurate with his signal services. EEPORT

ON THE O'CONNELL MONUMENT.

SECTION I.—Introductory Memoir.

It may seem to be a reproach on the duty, gratitude, and aflFection of the Irish people, that Ireland's illustrious son, Daniel O'Connell, had not received an immediate monumental recognition of his transcendent abilities, and of his earnestness, zeal and devotion, exercised for the best interests of our common country, when he was called away from the sphere of his labours, in the distant city of Genoa, on the 15th of May, 1847. It is true, indeed, that the tidings of his death created a profound sorrow in the hearts of all his patriotic countrymen, and in those of every genuine lover of civil and religious liberty, throughout the whole world. Nor were the demonstrations of respect and veneration for his memory wanting, in those solemn and impressive funeral rites, which accompanied the return of his mortal remains, to rest in that Island he loved so well. It is known, likewise, that when his coffin was laid in a temporary vault of that beautiful cemetery—the creation of his own genius—at Glasnevin, near Dublin, arrangements were made to raise over and around his body a memorial group, characteristically Irish, and designed by George Petrie, LL.D., to commemorate the services of Ireland's immortal Liberator. Unhappily, it was otherwise ordered by the Committee,^ having charge of the undertaking. However, although the original design has been set aside, a very stately and imposing monumental Eound Tower, with a vaidted crypt beneath, becomes conspicuous, not alone to the visitor of Glasnevin Cemetery, but, as it rises high over that elevated site on which it has been built, the object serves to remind beholders from afar, how the grave of O'Connell has not been unnoted. Still it must attract the attentionor pilgrimage of all persons, who admire and venerate the great powers of intellect and the noble faculties of soul that distinguished the living patriot. This project was as much probably as could have been undertaken at the time, in a country then divided and distracted with faction, disturbance, dissensions, disaffection, threatened famine, and civil b war. The people were disheartened, and flying from their native land in despair. Thousands were dying of starvation, and ruin seemed impending over all classes. We need scarcely recall these personal reminiscences, so sorrowfully impressed on the memory of the old, and their historic record, only known to a younger generation. But, rightly estimated, they account for much of that apparent neglect, which was a subject of deep regret to " the old guard," who were participators in the struggle for Emancipation, for Reform, and for Eepeal of the detested and disastrous so-called Union of Ireland and Great Britain. After a few spasmodic and fruitless political efforts, neutralized by faithless men, and wanting enlightened direction, young and old lapsed into a state of apparent listlessness and lethargy, always an unhealthy sign of political or social life, and often but the prelude to national decay, or to those dangerous elements, which combine in secrecy to create widespread disorder. Amid all those gloomy prospects and forebodings, still were there men, who remembered the soul-stirring days of O'Connell's agitation, and his priceless services to creed and country. Those men lamented the degeneracy of petty aspirants to place and power, while feeling powerless themselves, to arrest the condition of mis-govemment and oppression, which spread suUenness and discontent among the masses. A few occasional allusions in speeches and in the public newspapers were ventured, from time to time, regarding the public apathy, which suffered years to lapse, without any effort being made to exhibit the people's gratitude in visible shape and form. By erecting a suitable monument, to stand on some desirable site within the metropolis of Ireland, it was generally admitted, that such an omission could best be remedied. In social converse, this topic of a memorial was more frequently commented on and deplored, especially as the effecting of such an object was believed to be in accord with a wide-spread popular sympathy. These circumstances connected with the initiation of this movement are somewhat interesting, and they may be briefly stated, before we proceed more immediately to narrate the inception and progress of the O'Connell Memorial. The people of Clare had undertaken the erection of a column, surmounted by a statue of the Liberator, on that very spot, where the Court-house formerly stood in Ennis, and from which O'Connell's triumphant return as member of Parliament for the county of Clare had been proclaimed, in 1828. The moving and guiding spirit in this movement was an enthusiastic admirer of O'Connell, in an humble position of life, but greatly respected by his townsmen of Ennis. Then, Mr. Michael Considine was president of the united Trades, and having urged them to engage on the enterprise he meditated, this patriotic man commenced the collection of funds for a local Com- mittee he was mainly instrumental in forming. A large, but an insufficient sum was subscribed by the townspeople, and by others residing within the County of Clare. The patriotic and Venerable Dean Kenny, then F.P. of Ennis, and the Catholic Clergy of the XI

diocese of Killaloe, had generously contributed their 'money ; but, as the design for the column required a height of 67 feet, and the statue to surmount it was to be 9 feet in height additional, while the work to be erected was still in jwrogress, and incomplete, the Com- mittee found their means exhausted. At this time, the commercial and industrial resources of the town were greatly restricted and depressed. It was then resolved, that Mr. Considine be deputed to collect funds, in every large centre of population, where he was known. Accordingly, with unwearied zeal and activity, he visited various places, not only in Ireland, but in England and Scotland. The last visit he made for the purpose was to Dublin, where the statue had been executed, in the studio of Mr. Cahill. A lithographed circular had been prepared by the Committee, and an engraving, which represented the design and proportions of the Ennis Monument, was prefixed. This appeal was headed, " The Voice of Clare."*

* This spirit-stirring address, we deem it well here to introduce, and it obtained a pretty extensive circulation. To THE Friends of Civil and Keligious Liberty.* Fellow-Men,— Thirty eventful years have passed away since this western County in Ireland was chosen as the ground on which freedom's battle should be fought. In the memorable year of '28, a Nation's council committed to Clare a Nation's destiny. The wailing voice of an enslaved Church, and the clanking chains of millions, rivetted by bigotry and intolerance, fell sadly on the ears of her sons, and in accents more thrilling than the trumpet sound bade them prepare for the dread but glorious struggle. How cheerfully this call was responded to —^how gallantly the men of Clare bore themselves during this period of trial —with what fortitude they braved threats and terrors more appalling than death ; and how, subduing every passion and sentiment, save the divine aspiration for freedom, they struggled to realize the expectations of a nation, is for History and not for us to tell. The battle is over and the victory is won. Many of the actors in that brilliant drama have passed away—and alas ! our own glorious chieftain is no more—yet, no monument records that mighty event—no stone erected, mark|^ the spot on which stood Ireland's peerless tribune, whilst his genius, flashing like the light- ning 'mid the darkness of the storm, smote the demon of oppression, and whose voice, more potent than Heaven's artillery, proclaimed to the world " Ireland ia !" free Fellow-men—This neglect should not, must not be. Had those ev^ts occurred at other times and in other lands, long since, honours, almost divine, should have rewarded the heroism of '28, and pyramids in bronze should have rescued from oblivion the name and fame of one of the greatest men " that ever lived in the tide of times." The restorers of Athenian freedom fell in the struggle, but scarcely had they ceased to live, when fresh from the sculptor's hand they stood forth again in breathing marble the silent but eloquent Apostles of Liberty, unto future generations. But why allude to distant lands or to Grecian story, whilst here in our green isle yon towering columns that o'erlook our capital, raised to tbe victors of Trafalgar and Waterloo by the friends of British rule, proclaim our fallen state and teach us how to honour " the mighty dead." IriBhmen, we have reeuon to blush for our apathy. It is true, indeed, that we have been too long wanting in our duty, both to the living and the dead. But, better sentiments now prevaiL The good work is began—the men of Clare —

Arriving in the Metropolis of Ireland, in 1862, Mr. Considine took an early occasion of waiting on Dr.—afterwards Sir John Gray, and of representing to him the object he had in view. It is needless to state, that it was entirely in accordance with the feelings and sympathies of the patriotic gentleman addressed; nor were the aspirations of Mr. Considine and the Ennis Committee destined to be disappointed. Dr. John Gray heard patiently and with deep interest the story of an bumble and ot a self-sacrificing man, who had laboured hard on his mission, and who had economised to the very utmost the expense of his travels, so as to collect the requisite sum necessary to obtain the statue. It could not have been perfected, much less removed from the artist's studio, without funds to pay for it, and to prepare for the locality it was afterwards destined to adorn that noble monument, of which Ennis has now reason to feel so proud. The amount of XI 00, necessary to complete that statue of O'Connell, was wanting, and for such a sum, an appeal was made to the country, in September of the same year, through the columns of the Freeman's Journal. A very few days sufficed for its collection, as subscriptions began to pour in from various quarters, and those were contributed by different persons, having no local connexion with Clare. Success was thus assured, and with a readiness, which showed the fast hold O'Connell's memory had on the regards of the Irish people. It was soon found, that a surplus of £5 17s., over the £100 asked for completion of the Ennis Monument to O'Connell, remained in the hands of Dr. Gray. It is well within the recollection of the older Honorary Secretary, engaged in the compilation of this Report, that in 1862, a conversation on this matter with Dr. Kirwan, then Coroner for the City of Dublin—an old and attached

are again at their post. The last anniversary of Ireland's national Saint saw aBsemble the good and the true of this historic County—and, in the face of man and under the azure dome of heaven's canopy, solemnly declare the words of the resolutions— *' That it is the first duty of a nation to honour the memory of its great men;" and again—"That a monument should be erected to O'Connell on that spot in Ennis, hallowed by the recollection of his first glorious triumph, calculated as well to record a nation's gratitude as to transmit from age to age the public virtues, the ardent patriotism, and the bloodless victories, of Ireland's Liberator." Fellow-men, that this testimonial may be worthy of the man and the event it

commemorates ; that it may suitably evince a nation's gratitude : we are forced, nay it is right, to step beyond the limits of the locality, and appeal to a nation's generosity. To you, the venerated heads of our National Church—and you, the pastors of our people-^to you, who exult in peaceful triumphs and glory in altars free, we appeal. To you, Catholic peers and Catholic senators, the first to enjoy the priceless blessings of Emancipation, we appeal. To you, fellow-citizens, whom a debasing code and the frenzied spirit of religious persecution long excluded from the very offices which your talents now dignify and your virtues adorn—to you^ we appeal. On every friend of civil and religious liberty—of every grade and of every creed—in every country and every clime—we urge our claims, with a strong hope and a pleasing confidence, that now, as in '28, the Voice of Clare will make an echo in the bosom of every honest man. XIU

friend of O'Connell—induced that gentleman to wait on Dr. John Gray, proptietor of the Freeman's Journal. A request was made, that the latter would exert his influence and lend his aid towards the work of originating and carrying to a successful completion the erection of a grand Monument to O'Connell in the city of Dublin. The application was cheerfully and readily complied with, and Dr. Gray stated, moreover, that no time should be lost^ while he promised, that the leading newspaper of Ireland under his direction should open its columns, to promote and prosecute the desired object. Much about the same time, the distinguished and patriotic Irishman, Dr. Eichard Eobert Madden—then residing at

Dalkey—held communication with Dr. Gray on this subject ; and, the fortuitous circumstance, of procuring more than Mr. Considine required, was availed of, to commence another good work. An evening was named by Dr. Madden for a dinner party, and a number of influential gentlemen, who were known to be the former friends and associates of Ireland's illustrious champion, were then invited to meet Dr. Gray. Several guests specially selected for the object held in view were there assembled. Distinguished among them was Patrick Vincent Fitzpatrick, Esq., the former organizer and treasurer of the O'Connell National Tribute. His experience and assistance were availed of and very readily tendered. The plan of operations was considered, discussed, and finally resolved on, that Sunday evening, before the party separated. At this time, the project was a secret to the general public, and at a late hour. Dr. Gray reached the Freeman's Journal Office, to prepare an article announcing, that the subscription for the Ennis Monument to O'Connell should close on the following day. On Monday the 22ad September, 1862, a first and stirring appeal was made to the Irish public, by Dr. Gray, through the medium of the Freeman's Journal, for funds to raise a National Monument in honour of O'Connell, and on a site most suitable for the purpose. It was proclaimed on the Tuesday succeeding, that one hundred pounds for the Clare Monument had been lodged in the National Bank; while more than was requisite to complete that amount still remained in hands. The former engagement and trust had been accomplished, and yet there was money, which could not be returned to the subscribers. Eightly estimating, by popular feeling on the subject, that the time was ripe for a still greater enterprise than the Ennis Monument, Dr. Gray resolved with the modest sum of a surplus left at his disposal, to inaugurate another fund, for a National Monument to O'Connell in the Metropolis of Ireland. On the 23rd of September, 1862, an appeal was accordingly made to the Irish public, through the columns of the Freeman's Journal^ with suggestions for a spontaneous and general subscription to aid in its erection, and on a scale of extension worthy the object held in view. It was proposed by Dr Gray, that trustees should be named to take charge of the fund, while the National Bank in all its branches should be selected to act as treasurers. — —

Nothing more foimal had been hitherto proposed, and accordingly, at that date, only cheering promises of support in the great enterprise were elicited. The eminent physician, afterwards known as Sir Dominic J. Corrigan, agreed to subscribe £10, on condition that the memorial should be a Statue of the Liberator, set up in a public way, and as " a book to every passer-by." To the credit of the patriotic priesthood of Ireland, be it said, that " an Irish Priest" was the first to give the movement a practical support, by generously offering as his contribution towards the proposed fund the sum of £10. Like- wise, a priest of the West promised his contribution of £5, The first to pay a subscription for the National Monument was John Fetherstone, of 5 Crampton Quay, who headed the list by hand- ing in a shilling, as "the free-will offering of a grateful freeman." This was soon followed by contributions, varying in amount, according to the means and good-will of the respective subscribers; and while the pounds of the rich were tendered, to swell the fund—which in the aggregate must necessarily be large— the pence of very poor men were added, as a grateful offering to the memory of him, who held a foremost place in their affections. This may be seen, in the

subsequent pages of our Eecord ; and, it is certain, that the smaller quite as much as the \larger subscriptions testify to the popular veneration entertained for the great national chieftain—whose life- long achievements and fame established on an imperishable basis had then been numbered among the illustrious dead.

SECTION 11. Inception of the Work.

The movement thus happily inaugurated was found to have been eminently popular, and soon the earnest sympathies of Irishmen and Irishwomen were heartily enlisted, in the prosecution of this enterprise. Indeed, nothing could exceed the zeal and earnestness of its promoters, and that willing aid so practically tendered greatly smoothed their labours. On the 23rd of September, the National Press in Dublin, and throughout the provinces, began to second the project so auspiciously commenced, and the newspapers generally appealed to the patiuotism of the country to give it full effect. It being understood, that the FreemarHs /owmaZ should become a medium for the receiving of subscriptions, ad interim, soon were cheques and contributions forwarded through that organ of public opinion and feeling. The united Confraternities of the Metropolitan Cathedral and of the other City Churches, at a general meeting held in the Presbytery- rooms at SS. Michael and John, entered upon a preparatory organisation, to assist in the work of collection. The chair was occupied by Eev. John O'Hanlon, C.C, and before the meeting separated, a plan of operations was resolved on, so that in addition to the members of the respective Confraternities, the services of other

o: XV

respectable parishioners belonging to the several parishes might be secured to assist as collectors. These preliminaries being arranged, application was duly made to the ordinary of the Diocese, for ecclesiastical approval and permission to undertake the work meditated. It is needless to state, that sympathy and aid were con-

fidently anticipated ; while the result of an interview with his Grace was favourably reported to the Confraternities, by an eminent ecclesiastic and without unnecessary delay. Meantime right measures were taken, and suitable persons were selected, to prosecute the task, thus rendered easy of accomplishment. With sanction of the Most Rev. Paul Cullen, Archbishop of DubVn, collections were allowed to be taken at the doors of the city churches, while the country parishes were expected to follow the precedent thus set ; and it was arranged, that the proceeds were to be returned by the respective pastors. It may well be imagined, that being contemporaries, intimates and associates of O'Connell, as also enthusiastic admirers and abettors of his marvellous labours and matchless eloquence, the older clergy responded to the call on their gratitude and generosity. The younger generation of priests, likewise familiar with the achievements of the renowned Tribune, had sentiments quite in accord with the pervading and universal feeling to render him every possible honour. Whatever slight delay was permitted, only tended to render more effectual the object sought for attainment. We must now briefly review in detail those outlines of diversity and complexity, which are required, to estimate at their proper value the force, characteristics and colouring of a picture, only an episode in our past history, but one which cannot fade during the long lapse of ages ; even should its formal expression perish, as have so many vanished monuments of departed greatness. The first parochial collection in Ireland came from Glencullen, and it was organized for Sunday, September 28th, by the Rev. James Walsh, then curate of the place, and since promoted to be Parish Priest of Skerries, in the Diocese of Dublin. It amounted to £%1 5s., including a subscription, Anonymous, £5, This was acknowledged in the Freeman's Journal on the day following, with other suij^- scriptions. Afterwards, we shall note, in order of time, the receipt j&f contributions from the various parishes, as the returns were given for publication. From the first receipt of subscriptions, it had been arranged by Br. John Gray, that the Freeman's Jrounal, of which he was proprietor, should be open gratuitously, for the acknowledgment of such sums as were paid in to the credit of the Fund, and on behalf of the Honorary Treasurers. These subscriptions were lodged from time to time in the National Bank. We have deemed it aglvisable, in pre- paring this Report, to relegate in exact Chronological and Diurnal order such authenticated acknowledgments to the Appendix, where the Names, Addresses—so far as they had been furnished—and Sums paid in to the Honorary Treasurers and Secretaries of the General Committee may be found. This we have deemed to be the — ;

XVI

most methodical and satisfactory plan, as it less encumbers the text of our narrative, and renders reference to the various subscriptions more accessible and ready for inspection. Moreover, no merely promised contributions but those actually paid are there inserted. Other acknowledgments of collectors for local committees or of individuals occur sometimes, as notices had been furnished to the FreemarCs Journal; these we have deemed it desirable to separate from the Chronological and Official List of Total Receipts and Acknow- ledgments contained in the Appendix, so as to distinguish them from those accounts solely vouched for by the O'Connell Monument Com- mittee. In some cases, therefore, it may be observed, that owing to the circumstance already stated, certain names and subscriptions may be found inserted in this Record more than once. A few eH-ata have been corrected, as mistakes occasionally occurred, in printing names, addresses, and sums. It has often happened, that subscriptions given in the first instances by individuals, and so acknowledged, had been afterwards included in those of localities or classes although great care has been taken, not only to revise the lists throughout, but to avoid, if possible, unnecessary repetitions of Names, Addresses and Subscriptions, other than appear in the authenticated and Official List, contained in the Appendix. According to the system daily adopted by the Freeman's Journal, fresh subscriptions were successively added to the aggregate amount already acknowledged in the paper. An analysis and arrangement for the clearer setting forth of this registration were duties that in- volved great difficulty and care, while compiling this Report, so diverse were the entries and so encumbered with repetitions ; but, greater still was the labour, to compare and collate the published lists with the forms and orderly apposition herein adopted, so that a detailed enumeration may be presented with a comprehensive statement.

SECTION IIL Site in O'Connell Street Selected for the Monument, and Granted by the Dublin Corporation.

From this time forward, the work^ent bravely on, and very soon a respectable foundation of the funa destined for such a noble object was lodged in the National Bank in College Green, to the credit of the trustees. These gentlemen, who had already consented to act in that capacity were : The Rt. Hon. Denis Moylan, Lord Mayor of

Dublin ; ^iderm an John Campbell, J.R, ex-Lord Mayor; Charles

Bianconi, Esq., Longfield, Cashel ; Richard Kelly, Esq., J.R; and Dr. John Gray, T.C., J.R The site selected by Dr. John Gray, for the projected memorial, and approved of by the friends of O'Connell, was, where the National Monument now stands, at the head of the finest street in Dublin—formerly known as Sackville Street, but at present called xvM

O'Connell Street in honour of Ireland's great Liberator—^and cloae to old Carlisle Bridge, now known as O'Connell Bridge, within view of the former Irish Parliament House, near the site of Dempsey's Tavern where the Catholics often assembled, opposite to Burgh Quay, where the Catholic Association was wont to meet in the plenitude of its power, at the Corn Exchange, and on the leading highway to the Courts of Law. It looked out upon Conciliation Hall, built by O'Connell himself, and where he carried on the glorious struggle and exciting agitation for Repeal of the Legislative Union. On the 3rd of October it was announced, that £67 had been lodged in the National Bank to the credit of the fund. About the same time, a notice paper was issued for consideration of a summoned meeting convoking the Dublin Corporation, to be held on Monday, October 6th. Dr. Gray had placed on paper the following notice of

motion : —" That the space at the end of Sackville Street, near Carlisle Bridge, now occupied by a lamp, be allocated, by an order of Council, as the site for the statue of ' O'Connell,' about to be erected by the Irish nation and the Catholics of the world." On Monday, the 6th October, 1862, a meeting of the Municipal Council, accordingly was held. On this day, not only was there a very full attendance of Aldermen and Town Councillors, but several leading men interested in the subject attended. When some necessary business had been transacted, according to the order of proceedings, the Town Clerk announced the important business for which the Council was chiefly convened. Dr. John Gray, T.C., moved—^" That the space at the end of Sackville Street, near Carli^e Bridge, now occupied by a lamp, be allocated by an order of Council as a site for the statue of O'Connell about to be erected by the*Irish nation and the Catholics of the world." An eloquent speech followed on the part of the proposer. In supporting the motion, he asked " the Municipality of Dublin for a grant of twenty feet of Irish soil, as a site for a monument to the greatest Irishman that ever lived." The merits of the illustrious Liberator and his great public services to Ireland were especially dwelt on, with occasional interruptions from Mr. Bonsall. However, after a speech quite worthy of the occasion, Dr. Gray concluded by proposing his resolution amid loud and prolonged cheering. It was seconded by Alderman Carroll, and by other gentlemen of the Corporation who were present. Mr. Bonsall was the only dissentient. He declared, however, that knowing it would be quite useless to divide the house, he desired to. say that he neither objected nor assented to the movement. The Lord Mayor put the resolution from the chair, and it was carried unanimously. Dr. Gray said the movement had now become so universal that it was necessary to have a national committee to conduct it. He would move a resolution which should meet the difficulties objected to during the debate. It was that, " the members of the Council be requested to form the metropolitan nucleus of a national committee to carry out the object of the foregoing resolution." This motion — ;

XVlll was seconded by Alderman Curran. The Lord Mayor put the resolution, which was carried unanimously, and the Council then adjourned. In Dublin and throughout the provinces the movement now began to take shape and consistence. Preparations were made for organized public meetings. Consenting to act, and provisionally, until a projected committee had been formed, the following gentlemen were nominated as trustees:—The Eight Hon. Denis Moy Ian, Lord Mayor of Dublin; Alderman Campbell, J.P., Ex-Lord Mayor; Charles

Bianconi, D.L. ; Richard Kelly, J. P. ; Dr. John Gray, J.P. ; John

Blake Dillon, Barrister at-Law ; Dr. Dominic Corrigan, President of the College of Physicians ; John Francis Maguire, M.P., Mayor of Cork; William Lane Joynt, Mayor of Limerick; William Louis

Hackett, Mayor of Clonmel ; Captain Johnston, Mayor of Water- ford ; Thomas Meagher, J.P., Ex-Mayor of Waterford ; and Alder- man John Reynolds, J.P. One of these names will be recognised, as being that of a prominent member of the well-known " Young Ireland" Party, nearly all of whom, though they disagreed in various particulars with the policy or teaching of the great tribune, were nevertheless sincere admireis of his acknowledged patriotism and wondrous ability. As further evidence of the esteem in which these gentlemen regarded the memory of O'Connell, early in the movement, and before the first hundred pounds were subscribed, Dr. Gray announced, that he had received a letter from Mr. William Smith O'Brien, requesting to have his name added to the list of subscribers for the O'Connell National Statue, as a con- tributor of £5. Only a short time had elapsed, when the balance of the fund amounted to over £160. Every day saw its proportions increase. The subject was enthusiastically taken up by the Press of Ireland, without distinction of creed or politics. From north and south, from east and west, from Protestant as well as from Catholic, from the poor as well as from the rich, contributions poured in all were zealous and unanimous, because all were stirred alike by the same generous impulse—a desire to honour the memory of one who will never cease to be regarded, not alone by Irishmen in Ireland, but by Irishmen all the world over, as one of the greatest and the most illustrious, as he was also one of the most successful champions of the rights of their country, whose genius reflected honour on the land of his nativity, and won for him the admiration of the entire civilized world, limited by neither race, nor creed, nor distance, nor time.

SECTION IV. Formation of the Committee.

The moment had arrived, when it became necessary to form an executive body, to direct the progress of the work, and to devise the best means for procuring its creditable accomplishment. A special — ;

ZIX

notice had been already issued, that the Metropolitan Committee appointed by the unanimous vote of the Dublin Corporation should assemble at the Prince of Wales Hotel, Prince's Street, off the present O'Connell Street, on Monday, October 13th, at 2 o'clock, p.m. It was convened by requisition of Dr. Gray and his co-trustees. The citizens and others who chose to attend were invited to be present. Accordingly, on the day and at the place appointed, some of the most representative and influential men in Dublin and from the Irish provinces were present. The Right Honourable Denis Moylan, the Lord Mayor, was called upon to preside. The following resolutions were presented to the meeting and passed unanimously : It was proposed by the Very Rev. Monsignor O'Connell, seconded by Dr. Corrigan, and Resolved,—" That the time has arrived when a National Monu- ment to commemorate the services of O'Connell, as the advocate of civil and religious liberty, and as the emancipator of the Catholic people of these realms, may be erected in the metropolis of his native land, with the approval and co-operation of all who value the sacred principles of which he was the greatest and most successful champion."

SECTION v.—Movement among thk Public Bodies in Dublin.

For the purpose of promoting the movement, which might now be considered as fairly started, meetings took place almost daily in the metropolis. Never before, and certainly never since, was so much zeal XXI of a practical character manifested by the citizens of Dublin, as was shown during the autumn and winter of 1862, in promoting thi« national movement. Night after night crowded meetings were held, speeches were delivered in warm support of the project, and subscription lists were opened. Yet the enthusiasm increased, rather than diminished. Truly the hearts of the people werp stirred to the core. By every class, the work in hand was assumed, ijndeed, as a labour of love. The trades of Dublin, it is almost unnecessary to say, were neither dilatory in coming forward, nor niggardly in th^ir subscriptions, and their contributions soon swelled the general fund. On Sunday, the 5th of October, pursuant to an advertisetnent, a meeting of the Operative Bakers' Association was held in their Trade Hall, Upper Bridge Street, their president MrJ John White in the chair. Mr. Patrick M'Namee, their Secretary, a zealous co- operator throughout the entire movement, proposed the first resolution, and organized a subscription to be opened among the men of his trade. Several effective speeches were made at this meeting.* The Operative Smiths in like manner sent forward their subscriptions. The labourers in the employment of the i Dublin Corporation most generously contributed their quota. | Among the various Associations, conspicuous hy their promptitude and zeal, we think special mention is deserVed by the Catholic Young Men's Society of Dublin. Their hall had been the former Catholic Church of the Dominican Fathers in Denmark Street, and in it, O'Connell had formerly addressed one of the first aggregate meetings held, for the Emancipation of the Catholics of these Kingdoms. At a meeting of their Committee held October 2nd, the Catholic Young Men unanimously resolved, to ofier the use of their hall for any public meetings to be convened for this patriotic object. Meantime, they had resolved on making an effort on the part of their body, to aid more directly in the success of the movement. At a meeting of the Committee on Thursday,

October 9th, it was resolved, that a meeting ; should be held on the following Sunday, at the hour of 2 o'clock, p.m., to devise such means as might be considered most desirable to promote the patriotic object so auspiciously commenced. Preliminaries were settled accordingly. Their President, Very Rev. Thomas Canon Pope, was to fill the chair; Messrs. M'Faddeni and Vickers were requested to act as Secretaries. i The tontine and benevolent societies alsb began to move. The St. Simon Stock Providence Society took a prominent part in the good workj'^nd through their Secretary, Mr. James Russell, handed in the munificent donation of £20, onl the 10th October, which enabled Sir John Gray to lodge the sum ojE £200 to the credit

* Subscriptions were then received, which were forwarded through the Secre- tary to the Freeman's Journal. xxu

of the fund. The Mater Misericordise Tontine Society, representing men of all creeds and politics, subscribed £5 to the Monument. Again, the religious Associations attached to the altars which O'Connell had made free lent their ready and willing co-operation. On Sunday, October 12bh, a meeting of the United Conferences attached to the Cathedral, Marlborough Street, was held, under the presidency of Mr. John Weldrick, and a subscription list was opened. The Brothers of the Confraternity of St. Andrew's Church, West- land Row, were summoned to attend a meeting to be held there, on Sunday evening, October 26th, at 6 o'clock. At that time, William Russell, president, in the chair, a committee was formed, and a subscription list was opened, when the sum of £6 was subscribed by the members present. The United Confraternities of SS. Michael and

John assembled, also, and contributed handsomely to the Fund ; as also, the Confraternity attached to the Augustinian Church, John Street, Dublin. The literary Societies of the metropolis and its suburbs were soon in action. The Celtic Union of Rathmines cheerfully lent its co-operation and summoned its members to a special meeting in the Reading- room, on Sunday evening. Next day, on Monday evening, October 13th, their adjourned meeting was held at No. 4 Rathmines Avenue, Mr, J. C. Fitzachery in the chair. A subscription list was opened before the meeting closed, and collectors were appointed to increase the amount handed in, by receiving contributions from those who were unable to attend the meeting. A meeting of the Catholic Young Men's Society was held in their Hall, Denmark Street, on Sunday, October 19th, to originate a subscription list. Several very eloquent speeches were delivered ; while J a Committee and Treasurer were appointed to collect and receive ' subscriptions. It was announced, that the subscription list should 4 remain open for a month. The boys of the Academy of Our Lady [ of Mount Carmel held a meeting in their school rooms, under the ' presidency of Rev. Father Ward, to collect subscriptions. Besides the foregoing, the Grocers' Assistants of Dublin, having obtained the use of the Catholic Hall, Denmark Street, gave notice of a meeting to be held there, on Sunday, November 9th, for the purpose of organizing a collection towards the Monument projected for O'Connell. It was largely attended, a Committee was formed, and a subscription list was opened, while other arrangements were made to forward the object held in view. The Pawnbrokers' Assistants convened a meeting at the Catholic Hall, for Sunday, November 15th, at one o'clock, and accordingly the chair was taken by Mr. John M'Donnell, Messrs. Patrick Cummins and John Cullen acting as Secretaries. A Committee was formed, and a handsome contribution was received on the spot. The suburbs of Dublin were quite prepared to emulate the example set them by the metropolis. The first move was made by convening a meeting of the inhabitants of Glasthule Ward, at the Large Rooms, 1 Peter Place, for the people of Kingstown and vicinity. An — —

XXIII influential meeting of the inhabitants—under the presidency of Hugh O'Rourke, Esq., Breflfny House—was held, on the evening of October 9th. A local committee was formed, a subscription list was immediately opened, and John Keilly, Esq., Rockfield, acted as Secretary. Several subscriptions were announced at the close of the meeting,* and measures were then taken for increasing the amount. It was arranged, that the Committee should meet every succeeding Monday evening to further the movement. The people of the locality were full of zeal. Responding to a numerously signed requisition, a Aieeting of the inhabitants of Kingstown was convened by Rev. James Kavanagh, Adm., for Thursday evening, October 16th, at 8 o'clock, in the Temperance Hall, and accordingly preparations were made to render it highly successful. On Thurs- day evening, October 16 th, a large and influential meeting was presided over in the Town Hall, Kingstown, by the Rev. James Kavanagh, Adm., at which several eloquent speeches were delivered. Before this meeting closed about £iO were at once subscribed for the National undertaking. A Committee was formed, and arrangements were made to divide the township into districts, and to appoint efficient collectors for each section. On the Tuesday evening following, the Sub-committee met at the Town Hall, when several subscriptions were acknowledged. Additional subscriptions from Kingstown were announced on October 23rd,t 2.5th,J and 30tb,§ in the Freeman's Journal.

* Among these contributions were the following, which were sent in advance :

On Monday evening, October 20th, at the Church of the Oblate Fathers, Inchicore, a meeting was held, and it was presided over by William Ryan, Esq. At this assembly, eloquent speeches were delivered by the Rev. Messrs. Fox, Gubbins, Cooke, and Ring, with other gentlemen, to inaugurate there a movement to erect the O'Connell Monument. Afterwards, a subscription list was opened, and the Oblate Fathers subscribed £5. The Chairman gave £1, while several other subscriptions came from those attending the meeting. The aggregate proved to be a handsome addition to the fund. At Blackrock a meeting was also held for the purpose of collecting subscriptions. In like manner, at Howth, Baldoyle, and Kinsealy, contributions were received and returned. Moreover, a meeting was held at Booterstown, as also at Dundrum, and likewise at Dalkey, to procure funds in these several localities. Among the most remarkable of these efforts was that made on the 16th October, when the clergy of the Dublin Archdiocese assembled in St. Kevin's Chapel, Cathedral Church. A large attendance of the Dublin clergy secular and regular, were present. His Grace the Most Rev. Paul Cullen, Archbishop, presided at the meeting, and in the course of an eloquent and stirring address, he said—""We cannot but wish full success to this undertaking, and express our readiness to encourage it, and to co-operate with the patriotic men, who have already done so much to secure its success. It is indeed our duty to do everything in our power to render, as far as human power can aflFect it, the monument about to be erected worthy of O'Connell, and of the affection borne to him by the Irish people." Addresses were also delivered by the Very Rev. Monsignor Yore, the Very Rev. Monsignor Woodlock, Rector of the Catholic

University ; the Very Rev. Monsignor O'Connell ; the Very Rev.

Father Lentaigne, S.J. ; the Very Rev. Dr. Russell, O.P. ; the Very

Rev. Canon Roche ; and the Rev. Thomas Burke, O.P. At the termination of the proceedings, subscriptions were handed in, and amounting to £132. The several contributions are given in detail in the List appended to this Report.

SECTION VI.—The City Wards.

Of the fifteen wards in the city, the North Dock Ward was the first to take action, and a preliminary meeting was advertised on October 1st, of friends to the undertaking, that on the following Monday evening, October 6th, at half-past seven o'clock, a public meeting of residents in the North Dock Ward should be held at the Northumber- land Hotel, Beresford Place, for the purpose of promoting the erection of the monument. According to the arrangements made, the chair was taken by Peter Paul MacSwiney, T.C., a large and an influential number of citizens being in attendance. Several eloquent and able speeches were made, while suitable resolutions were proposed ' XXV and seconded. Among the speakers were Messrs. Alex. M. Sullivan, T.C., and William Meagher, T.C., also the proprietor of the hotel, Mr. Joseph, T.C., of Dublin, and a much respected liberal English- man, alluded in his speech to the great assistance lent by O'Connell to the Reform agitation in England, and to the noble stand which he had ever made in the cause of human freedom, as also of civil and religious liberty all over the world. A sub-committee was formed, to divide the ward into collection districts and to appoint for them collectors. A subscription list was then opened, and the secretary announced the following subscriptions, before the meeting separated, to be £35 7s. Od. This only represents what was subscribed at the meeting, as a number of citizens residing within the ward afterwards added a very considerable sum to the foregoing amount.* The work was carried out in a very effective manner. The following sums were afterwards handed in by some of the gentlemen, who kindly undertook the duty of collecting subscriptions in the North Dock Ward, and these are announced in the Freeman^s Journal of October 21st, 1862.t As the meetings and returns from the various

city wards were at irregular intervals, and as their diverse systems for reporting the sums handed in could not always be conveniently compared and collated with the aggregate amounts subscribed and paid, we are obliged in some measure to anticipate the general Appended Lists, among which repetitions of names and subscriptions are necessarily inserted. This practical example set by the North Dock "Ward was almost immediately followed, by several of the other wards throughout the city, with successful results. A meeting of the Royal Exchange Ward was convened and held on the 9th October, at No. 25 Wicklow Street. The Very Eev. Dr. Spratt was called to the chair. Several speeches were delivered ajid resolutions were proposed. A subscription list was then opened, and arrangements were made for a collection, among the residents of the ward. A meeting of the sub- committee was held on the 15th of October, and subscriptions to the amount of £71 were announced. The first instalment forwarded by the Royal Exchange Ward amounted to over £80. A meeting of the ratepayers and inhabitants of the Mansion House Ward was convened for Monday evening, October 1 3th, at the Eglinton Hotel, 19 Peter Street. The people of the ward

Preparations were made to give further effect to the objects of the meeting. The treasurer for the Mansion House Ward, Mr. P. Redmond, afterwards acknowledged the receipt of additional subscriptions, in the FreemarCs Journcd of October 27tL* In pursuance of a numerously signed requisition of the inhabitants of Mouutjoy Ward, a meeting of the Burgesses and Ratepayers was convened for Thursday evening, October 16th, at eight o'clock, afc Burke's Great Rooms, by Redmond Carroll, Alderman. Accordingly under his presidency, a large and an influential meeting Avas held. Mr. Patrick Nolan was appointed secretary. Several gentlemen were named, to form a local committee and with power to add to their number. Other measures were adopted, for promoting the object for which they had assembled. In the Mountjoy Ward, at the close of XZVUl

the first meeting, over £40 were subscribed by those gentlemen who were present.* Alderman John D'Arcy convoked a meeting of the Burgesses of Usher's Quay Ward, to be held at 100 James's Street, at one o'clock, on Friday, October 17th. However, it was objected, that the notice given was too short to allow time for preliminary arrangements, and accordingly the meeting was adjourned to Monday, October 20th, at one o'clock, and to be held at the Provincial Hotel, Usher's Quay. The brief interval was well employed, in order to prepare for the day and time appointed. Accordingly, at a public meeting held in the Provincial Hotel of the Usher's Quay Ward inhabitants, on October 20 th, the chair was taken by Alderman D'Arcy, Mr. M'Cready acting as secretary. Speeches were delivered by several gentlemen, and resolutions were passed, that collectors and a treasurer be appointed.

It was unanimously resolved that an Aggre- gate Meeting of the Ward should be held in the Commercial Buildings on Wednesday, November 5th, at one o'clock. After- wards the meeting was held on the 11th November, at Cork Hill, in the Rooms of the Grocers' and Yintners' Society. Alderman John Reynolds presided. The Burgesses and people of the South Dock Ward took action in the matter,, and a meeting was convened for Thursday evening, the 13th of November, at the Society Rooms, 36 Denzille Street. Accordingly, the chair was taken at eight o'clock by Edmund W. O'Mahony,^ Esq., Barrister-at-Law. Mr. O'Neill being appointed secretary, and Mr. Sherwood, treasurer. A committee was nominated, a subscription list was opened, and several sums were handed in before the meeting closed.

SECTION VII.—The Provinces.

Throughout the provinces, as in the city and suburbs, the work went on apace. In the black north and in the sunny south, the same spirit of earnestness pervaded every class. In various cities, towns, and villages, throughout Ireland, meetings were held, and working committees, composed of leading active local men, were appointed, for the purpose of collecting and receiving subscriptions towards the fund. With the same object in view, special council meetings were held in many of the corporate towns. the Among provincial Corporations, Clonmel led the van ; and, on Monday, September 29th, the patriotic Mayor, William L. Hackett, Esq., introduced the subject, the Aldermen and Town Councillors present giving their warm approval to local measures, which were then taken to promote the movement. Arrangements were afterwards made to have collections taken at the Church doors of SS. Peter and Paul, of St. Mary, and of the Franciscan Abbey on Sunday, October 19th, the respective pastors and guardian warmly co-operatin'^g- XXXIV

The patriotic Mayor, John O'Neill, Esq., and the inhabitants of

Drogheda were ready to second the movement ; and accordingly, on "Wednesday, October 1st, a notice of motion in the Corporation was given for the first subsequent meeting of the Council, that a local committee should bo appointed for the purpose of soliciting and receiving subscriptions towards the erection of a National Monument. Pursuant to notice, a special general meeting of the Council was held in the Assembly Room of the Tholsel, on Monday, October 6th, the Mayor presiding. A committee of seven members of the Corpora- tion, including the Mayor, was appointed to solicit and receive subscriptions towards the erection of a grand National Monument in the metropolis of Ireland to the Liberator. The Council of the Catholic Young Men's Society for this ancient town, held a meeting on October 16th, to co-operate in the good work. The patriotic trades of the town zealously enlisted themselves in the eflFort. At half-past three o'clock on Thursday, October 17th, a numerous and influential meeting was held in the Corporation Assembly Room^ Tholsel, the chair being occupied by the Right Worshipful John O'Neill, Mayor of Drogheda. A subscription list was then opened, and among the subscriptions, making in all £62, were announced those of Alderman Thomas Carty, J.P., £10; Alderman P. Mathews, J.P., £10; Alderman James ]\Iathews, J.P., £10; the Mayor, £5, and John Hughes, Esq., £5. The Most Rev. His Grace the Primate, and the clero^y arranged to have collections taken at all the Catholic

Churches and Chapels in Drogheda, on Sundaj', October 26th ; while within several parishes and smaller villages around, collections were steadily and systematically progressing. A staff of the most respectable inhabitants of Drogheda, including the Mayor, was appointed to superintend the work of the Sunday collection. The clergy of the Diocese of Clogher, with the Right Rev. Dr. M'Nally presiding, October 16th, it was resolved, that measures be taken to give effect to the efforts of the General Committee in Dublin. On Monday, the 16th of October, a meeting of the townspeople was held at Kavanagh's Hotel, in Athy. An influential committee was there formed, and several subscriptions were paid in before the meeting separated. Arrangements were made for the reception of other contributions. The Nenagh Town Commissioners held their usual monthly meeting on Monday, October 6th, R. Spain, Esq., J.P., in the chair. A subscription list was then prepared and several of the gentlemen present put down their names for £1 each; The Commissioners then resolved themselves into a committee to make a collection through the town during the ensuing week. The Townspeople of Ennis, where O'Connell won the celebrated election, were not behind in assisting the general committee, grateful as they felt for the contribution of £100, to complete the Emanci- pator's local monument, and accordingly, the Town Commissioners at their meeting early in October, resolved before separating, XXXV to join in the general expression of popular feeling. Preparations were made to assemble the patriotic townspeople. A meeting of the Ennis Commissioners was held on Thursday, 23rd of October, Thomas Green, Esq., Chairman of the Town Com- missioners, presiding. It was resolved, to request the Kight Hev. Dr. Flannery, Lord Bishop of Killaloe Diocese, to call on his clergy in the County of Clare to hold a simultaneous collection in their several parishes. It was resolved, likewise, that the Town Commis- Bioners should form a committee to collect and receive subscriptions, and to promote the object in view. Thomas Green, Esq., was appointed as treasurer. Limerick, "The Citie of the Violated Treaty," closely followed. On the 9th October a very full meeting of the Corporation was held in the town hall under the presidency of the Eight Worshipful William Lane Joynt, Mayor. The following resolution, proposed by Michael Robert Eyan, Esq., J.P., and —seconded by Alderman . Quinlivan, J.P., was unanimously adopted " That, warmly approv- / ing of the project lately originated for the erection in Dublin of a national monument to O'Connell, this Corporation do now nominate a committee to co-operate with the promoters of the object and receive subscriptions towards it in this city and district, in order that Limerick may bear a suitable part in commemorating in the metropolis of Ireland the unrivalled abilities and services of our country's " greatest patriot, and attesting to future ages the gratitude in which we hold his services, not only to the vast majority of the Irish people, but also his undeviating advocacy of the great principle of civil and religious liberty throughout the world." In declaring the resolution carried, the Mayor addressed those present, eulogising the originators of the movement, and concluded by heading a subscription list with a donation of £5. A working committee was afterwards appointed. Accordingly, on Monday, October 13th, pursuant to public notice from the Town Clerk, a meeting of the Corporation and citizens committee was held at three o'clock in the Council Chamber, Town Hall, Rutland Street, to arrange for organising a general collection throughout the wards. The chair was taken by the Eight Worship- ful William Lane Joynt, Mayor, who addressed the meeting, as also other gentlemen. Committees, composed of the Aldermen and Town Councillors for each ward, with power to add to their numbers, were formed. These committees resolved to go round and collect subscriptions. On the Wednesday evening succeeding, at 7 o'clock, the Burgesses of the Abbey Ward assembled in the Council Chamber of the Town Hall, the Mayor presiding,' and after announcing the receipts of subscriptions, arrangements were made to have a collection taken throughout the ward. In the wake of the foregoing, Waterford succeeded, and then a respectable requisition of the citizens called on the Mayor, W^illiam Johnson, who named Thursday, October 16 th, for a meeting of the Town Council to make arrangements for co-operating with other Corporations in Ireland in the movement to erect a statue to the great —

ZXXVl

O'Connoll in Dublin. At a preliminary meeting, convened by thfe Eight "Worshipful William Johnson, Mayor, and the Town Council- lors of Waterford, on October 16th, the Mayor presiding, several eloquent speeches wore delivered. It was resolved that the members of the council present should form a committee, and that a subscription list should then be opened.* On the 30th of October, a meeting of the Burgesses in the South Ward of that city was held in the Hall of the Catholic Young Men's Society. Alderman Owen Carroll, J.P., presided, and George J. Brisco was appointed secretary. Collectors, with power to add to their number, were named to procure subscriptions in that ward. A special meeting of the Athlone Town Commissioners were summoned for Friday, October 17th, to consider the question of a national monument to O'Connell. Accordingly, on the 21st of October, a meeting was held in the Town Commissioners' Rooms, Athlone. The chair was occupied by — Burke, Esq., J.P., Drum House, who addressed the meeting. Messrs. Kelly and Bracken were appointed joint secretaries. Collectors were appointed for different districts of the town, and as a subscription list was opened, in a few minutes contributions poured in to upwards of £20.

The residents of Tipperary convened a public meeting ; and, on the 18th of October, the Town Commissioners, with Michael Coleman, Esq., in the chair, resolved to originate a collection of their town. Kilkenny, " The City of the Confederation," also held its public meeting, pursuant to notice given on the 17th of October, by a numerously signed requisition. It assembled on Tuesday, October 22nd, at 12 o'clock, in the Tholsel, Alexander CoUes, Esq., the Mayor, presided, and Mr. William Kenealy was appointed secretary. A committee of gentlemen was named to collect subscriptions from persons of all classes and creeds. A subscription list was then opened, and before the meeting separated, it was announced that £71 lis. 6d -had been subscribed in the room.t

' The following subscriptions are noted, on o^ieuing the list : ii

A meeting of the Longford Town Commissioners was held, and a committee was formed to collect subscriptions. The town of "Wexford, ever foremost in every patriotic movement, assisted in the good work. On Thursday, October 23rd, a meeting was presided over by the Mayor, James Harpur, Esq. The Alder- men and Town Councillors were requested to act as collectors in their respective wards ; the Mayor was appointed treasurer ; and a subscription list was opened.* On Friday, October 24th, a meeting was held in the Tholsel of New Ross, Thomas Devine, Esq., in the chair. Arrangements were made for a public collection, while a subscription list was there opened, and £16 were collected on the spot. This, however, was but the commencement, and other contributions were soon announced.t Gal way, " The Citie of the Tribes," prepared to join the union of Irishmen engaged on the good work. Wherefore on Sunday, October 26th, a meeting of the Catholic Young Men's Society was held at Mrs. Carrigan's Assembly Rooms, Eyre Square. The Rev. —

XXXVlll

Father Tracy was called to the chair. A committeoi consisting of the Council of the Socie^ty was formed for the purpose of collecting and of forwarding subscriptions. Several of the latter were then handed in, so that the contributions then given amounted to over £18.* Arrangements were afterwards made to complete the collection in the town. Subsequently the High Sheriff for the county of the toAvn of Galway convened a meeting of his bailiwick to promote the same object. This meeting was held in the Court House, November 10th, and it was largely and influentially attended. A committee was named, with power to add to their numbers, and for the purpose of collecting subscriptions. Several contributions were handed in before the meeting separated.

' At Enniscorthy, a meeting was held and a committee was formed. Soon a handsome sum was collected, and on the 28th of October <£50 —the first instalment—were sent to Dr. Gray, as one of the Trustees for the Fund. Londonderry, " the Maiden Citie," held a large and representative meeting, attended by Catholics and Protestants, on the 3rd of November, when collectors were appointed for various districts in the city and neighbourhood. The Most Rev. Dr. Kelly, Bishop of Derry, besides giving his warm approval to the project, headed the list with his own most generous contribution. A very considerable amount was subscribed at the preliminary meeting. The first instalment transmitted was the very substantial sum of £90. The inhabitants of Sligo held a public meeting, November 9th, in the sj)acious School Kooms of the town, Peter O'Connor, Esq., J.P., presiding. Speeches were delivered, resolutions passed, a committee was formed, and Maurice Conry, Esq., J.P., was appointed treasurer. A considerable sum was subscribed before the meeting separated, and further arrangements were made to forward the collection. On the 13th of November, under the presidency of Most Rev. David Moriarty, Bishop of Kerry, a public meeting was held at Killarney, to originate a local movement of co-operation. Dundalk shared also in the popular feeling, and the patriotic trades were foremost to move in the matter. A public meeting was called to meet at Sibthorpe's Commerical Hotel, on Wednesday

A meeting was held, moreover, at Lancaster in England, on the while a sub- 14th of November, and a committee was there formed, the General scription list was opened to aid the efforts made by Committee in Dublin. The sum returned from this locality was one worthy of the contributors and of the locality. Large and enthusiastic meetings were held in many other places, subscribed but, it can and thus very considerable amounts were ; hardly be expected, that notices serving properly to elucidate the zealous co-operation of all localities and individuals in the work should be presented, except in the most general and concise form.

SECTION VIIL—Aid from Places Abroad. In the beginning of 1863, it was decided to issue an address to h Irishmen throughout the world, asking their co-operation with the central Committee. Accordingly, a powerful appeal was written by Mr. P. J. Smyth, and it bore tbe signatures of the Chairman and the hon. secretaries. It was published for transmission abroad, through those channels most likely to reach the Irish people. Probably, because no proper means had been taken, to make the existence of the movement better known in foreign countries, the contributions from foreign sources were comparatively small, at that stage of the proceedings. It was not long until the results of this address made themselves manifest, and in a manner highly gratifying to the Committee. The first response came from our patriotic countrymen living at the antipodes. It was conveyed, in a thoroughly characteristic letter, from the Hon. Charles Gavan Duffy.*

* It ran as follows : "Melbourne, Australia, April 25, 18S3. "My dear DiLLoy,—The communication, bearing your own and other familiar names inviting my aid towards the national statue to O'Connell, compels me to break a silence which I have maintained for seven years in relation to all Irish movements. The motive, which I have no doubt induced you to take an active part in the labours of the Committee in Dublin, induces me to co-operate with them from the opposite side of the globe. It was our fate, because we believed it was our duty, to differ from O'Connell in a momen-

tous period ; but, we did bo, I trust, without ignoring his pre-eminent claims upon the gratitude and veneration of his country. For myself, I can say, that —

Instead of £500, the sum which Mr. Duffy estimated the contributions might reach, the actual amount subscribed exceeded the magnificent amount of £1,000. The Chairman of the Melbourne Committee was Sir John O'Shannessy, to whom the Irish people owe a deep debt of gratitude for his action,Jnot only on this occasion, but also in 1880, when dire necessity prevailed in our land and rendered it necessary to seek for assistance in foreign countries. In Queensland, a committee was formed for the purpose of collecting money, and Kevin Izod O'Doherty was appointed treasurer. In many other cities and towns throughout Australia and New Zealand, meetings were also held, and much enthusiasm appears to have prevailed. From South America and South Africa, likewise, many contributions were received, and these formed no insignificant addition to the fund. In the United States of America, the appeal, which at any other time would have roused enthusiasm among millions of the Irish people, who had found a home over its wide expanse, now remained

almost unheeded. But, the reason was not difficult to find ; it was a good and sufficient one. A direful civil war was being waged

between the Northern and Southern States ; the whole country was

convulsed by the struggle of contending forces ; while the feelings and sympathies of the Irish people, at home and abroad, were deeply engaged on that issue, which so fortunately resulted in the restoration of peace and order, as also in the renewed strength and prosperity of the Great Eepublic.

SECTION IX. Work of the Committee.

That same meeting, at which it was determined to issue the address, " a resolution was passed : That this movement, having originated in a sincere desire to do honour to the memory of an illustrious Irish- man, every eff"ort of whose life, whether in the senate, at the bar,

no one on either side of the intervening ocean can feel more satisfaction than I will, when at length some adequate work of Irish art commemorates the career of the greatest Irishman of the century in the metropolis of his native land. A central committee has been organised in Melbourne, which includes the Irishmen of highest station and greatest wealth and public spirit in this city, without party distinction ; and their honoured secretary, Mr. O'Grady, has opened communication with the most populous districts in this colony, and with the capitals of the neighbouring colonies. Committees have been appointed and subscriptions commenced in at least twenty districts. Though I have the honour to act as treasurer here, I cannot undertake to state with certainty the amount of money that will be subscribed, especially as many of the districts will, no doubt, prefer to communicate directly with your Committee in Dublin ; but, I believe I may safely assure you, that the contributions from Australia will not fall short of five hundred pounds (£500). —Believe me, my dear Dillon, always faithfully yours, "C. Gavan Duffy. "JohnB. Dillon, Esq." "

impress or in the public forum, bears the unmistakeable of greatness, the Monument which shall be raised by the contributions of his grateful countrymen, and of the admirers of genius and patriotism throughout the world, shall bear no other inscription than the simple but comprehensive word ' O'Connell.' In 1863 Lord Mayor Vereker, who succeeded Alderman Moylan in the civic chair, having declined to permit the Committee to hold to their meetings in the Mansion House, application was made the Corporation, that the use of their Council Chamber in the City Hall be granted for the purpose. This request was generously acceded to, and for many years afterwards, nearly all the business of the Com- mittee was transacted there. The first meeting of the Committee in their new Assembly-room was signalized by an important change in the course of its procedure. On the motion of Dr. Gray, it was unanimously resolved, that the press should be admitted to all future meetings. This was a stepia the right direction, and one which commended itself to the good sense of the general public, who were thereby enabled to participate, so to speak, in the actions of the Committee. At the same meeting, Alderman Moylau, ex-Lord Mayor, was appointed permanent Chair- man of the Committee, as a mark of their esteem, and in acknowledgment for his kindness and courtesy during his year of office. Towards the end of 1863, the Committee began to consider the important subject of the Monument itself, as also the form and character which it should assume. The funds placed at their disposal amounted to £5,463. Having had the benefit of a conference with the eminent Irish artist, Mr. Foley, the Committee conceived such a sum must be utterly inadequate for their purpose. For some time previous to this, there had been a marked falling off, in the amount of home subscriptions ; but, it is only just to add, that this result was not wholly the fault of the country and of its people. The spirit of enthusiasm manifested in the beginning had not in the least degree abated ; but there was another and a more urgent claim upon popular sympathy and support. The country had been threatened with famine; dire distress had existed in many districts; and the money, which should otherwise have reached the O'Connell Monu- ment Fund, was spent in alleviating the hunger of the starving poor, especially in the west and south. With the spring of 1864, the prospect brightened somewhat, and fully trusting the people's patriotism, the Committee determined to ask for another £5,000, to ensure that the O'Connell Monument should be worthy of him and of the Irish nation. At the same time, a valuable suggestion made by Mr. Kenealy, Editor of the Kilkenny Journal, to the effect, that a simultaneous National Collection should be made on St. Patrick's Day next ensuing was adopted as their resolve by the Committee. Accord- ingly, on the 17th of February, 1864, a Sub-committee was appointed for the purpose, consisting of the Eight Hon. the Lord Mayor, Peter Paul MacSwiney, Sir John Gray, Eev. John O'Hanlon, John Eeilly, d —

xlii

John B. Dillon, William J. Henry, Rev. P. J. Gilligan, Eev. John O'Rourke, Michael Murphy, T.C., Rev. James Daniel, Richard J. Devitt, T.C., Professor James Kavanagh, J. F. Frazer, P. J. Smyth, Very Rev. John Canon Farrell, Very Rev. Dean and Mousignor Andrew O'Connell, Martin Crean, Alexander M. Sullivan, Patrick McNamee, and Michael Dwyer. The duty of originating and of developing the St. Patrick's Day collection, at their desire, was undertaken by the Rev. John O'Hanlon, one of the hon. secretaries. Under his direction, circulars and placards were prepared and addressed to the bishops and priests of every diocese and parish throughout the country, earnestly requesting their cooperation in the work. It was deemed necessary to have an authorized Address written, which should clearly express the motives and purposes of the Committee. Accordingly, a renewed appeal, ably drawn up by the Very Rev. John Canon O'Rorke, lately P.P., of Maynooth, was issued to the people of Ireland.*

* The following was the text of this Address : Address of the O'Connell National Monument Committee to the People of Ireland.

Fellow-Countrymen ! It is now nearly two years since Ireland resolved to erect a Monument to O'Connell in her capital. Grateful for his services, loving his memory, and proud of him as her foremost man, she regarded this undertaking in the light of a solemn national duty. A hopeful enthusiastic beginning was made, but other claims, which could neither be ignored nor delayed, soon arrested our attention. The cry of hunger was heard amongst us—no new cry in our poor stricken land, but one which, whenever it is heard, must claim our sympathy before all others. Patriotism and gratitude are sacred words to the Irish heart, but there is still one more sacred—charity. At the call of charity, therefore, was our great Is 'ioiial Monument put in abeyance for a time, that the lives of our starving ^ eople might be saved. But the time has now come when we must build up the Monument of our own O'Connell. Will that Monument be worthy of him ? To be so we must make it the noblest creation of artistic genius in our land. If in Dublin—the centre of his labours and his triumphs—any memorial should exist to rival, or even to approach his, the nation he loved and laboured for will not have done its duty. Now is the time for action. If the O'Connell Testimonial be not now made

what it ought to be, the mistake can never be retrieved ; it will be a monument not to his glory, but of our shame, and our children will look upon it with sorrow and despise us.

Fellow-countrymen ! this must not be. You must come to our aid, and enable us to raise in Sackville-street such a Monument as the nation may be proud of, and as shall inspire future generations with a high unselfish patriotism—such a Monument as, when the stranger first beholds its grand proportions, he will at once exclaim,—" This must be the Monument of Ireland's Liberator." Up to the present time the funds at our disposi^l are miserably insufficient for our purpose ; but we do not despond.

No ! full of confidence in your enduring devotion to our great Chief, we call upon you, fellow-countrymen, to make one organized national effort on St, Patrick's Day for the O'Connell Monument. Appoint collectors and treasurers as soon as possible. No man who loves the land for which O'Connell fought —

xliii

The result proved most successful ; the subscriptions immediately- realized by that general collection reached the sum of nearly £1,500; and in the course of a few weeks, this amount was still further increased.

SECTION X.—Laying of the Foundation Stone.

Second only in importance to the erection of O'Connell's Monu- ment may be ranked the laying of its foundation stone. Elaborate preparations were made, through the action of various Sub-Committees which had been nominated by the several trades and societies, to second the efforts of the Members constituting the General Com- mittee. During the summer of 1864, frequent meetings were held not only in Dublin, but throughout Ireland, to forward the object now proposed. At first, it was the intention of the Committee, that this ceremony should be performed on the 6 th of August, so as to commemorate the eighty-ninth anniversary of the great Irish Tribune's birth. But the 6th day falling on Saturday, it was deemed more expedient, that it should be postponed until the following Monday, in order to render it more convenient for the trades, clergy, and for others attending from the provinces, and to ensure the complete success of the demonstration. An arrangement of all details in connection with the ceremony was entrusted to a Sub-

Committee ; while the duty was discharged by them, with much judg-^ ment and forethought. The interval which was available for action demanded prompt and continuous attendances, and the correspondence which ensued was of a pressing nature, demanding a great sacrifice of labour on the part of the honorary secretaries. A circular had been prepared and directed to various public bodies, and to gentlemen of recognised influence in different parts of Ireland.*

will refuse to contribute. Every class of Irishmen will assist us ; the jwunda of the rich and the pence of the poor will ^e freely given, that all may have the glory of saying that they bore their part 'in this great patriotic work. Remember that on the 17th of March, the day of our Island's Apostle, the final efifort is to be made. Let us on that day all unite to honour the man who sighed and laboured for the union of Irishmen. Let us, by one generous efifort, prove to the civilized world that we are a people worth toiling for, and that gratitude is still pre-eminently an Irish virtue.

* The following was the Circular of the Ceremonial Sub-Committee : THE O'CONNELL MONUMENT. Ceremonial for Laying the First Stone, on Monday, 8th August, 1864. We are directed by the Committee of Arrangement respectfully to apprise you that Monday, the 8th of August, has been fixed upon for laying the First Stone of the National Monument,to O'Connell, on the site in Sackville-street granted by the Council of the Corporation ; and we have to request the honour of your presence at that important ceremony, which will be performed by the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor of Dublin. Fully impressed with the nature of the obligations imposed upon us, we are earnestly desirous that the Ceremonial of the 8th of August should prove in xliv

About this time, Martin Crean, an old friend of the Liberator, and

a constant attendant of the Committee, was . appointed one of the honorary secretaries, having previously fulfilled with very general

every way worthy of the illustrious Tribune whose memory and whose name will be indelibly associated with the event. It were idle to attempt to enumerate the claims which O'Connell possessed upon the grateful recollection of every true Irishman. His giant labours were ever devoted to the advancement of tbe religion be gloried in and the land he loved. His end and aim were to uplift his countrymen from social degradation, and to invest them with the prerogatives of freemen. The unflinching champion of civil and religious liberty all over the world— the zealous advocate of legislative independence—the stern foe of intolerance—he strove to reconstruct from the disorders incident to a long reign of oppression, a nation rich in all the attributes that would dignify, and in all the qualities that should ennoble the enfranchised country of a people disenthralled. His memory, therefore, should be proudly cherished by all classes of Irish- men. The venerated Hierarchy and Clergy, true under every vicissitude to the faith which St. Patrick planted amongst us, found in O'Connell the man whose superhuman exertions rent asunder the fetters imposed by a barbarous penal code upon the ministers of Catholicity, and gave freedom to worship at those altars where the grand mysteries of a time-honoured creed are now daily celebrated. The laity were, mainly through his instrumentality, enabled to enjoy the social advantages and to achieve the honorable positions to which they were entitled^ but from which they had been long debarred by the influence of unjust and oppressive laws. The municipalities of Ireland—once the strongholds of corruption—were wrested from spoliating hands, and rendered back to the people ; and the people themselves, for whose weal his generous heart ever throbbed, can never forget the sacrifices he made for them throughout the lengthened struggle he waged for their amelioration. We cordially invite the attendance of all genuine Irishmen at the Ceremonial of the 8th of August. We ask the Hierarchy and Clergy to hallow by their presence the commencement of a work which will hand down to posterity the name of the Liberator. We ask the Nobility, the Gentry, the Members of Parliament, the Mayors and Corporations, the Chairmen and Town Commis- sioners, the Trades— in fine, we ask every man who feels within him that all honour should be done to the memoryof O'Connell, to attend on the day appointed,, and thus to testify to the world that the spirit bom of the patriotism he called into life still actuates his countrymen— that the hope he inspired in a better future for the poor old land has not yet been surrendered—that the love with which Irishmen regarded their Chieftain has survived the grave, and that it is j-et fresh, ardent, and buoyant, though eventful years have passed away since Lis remains were laid in Irish soil in old Glasnevin. That spirit indomitable, that hope never-failing, and that love, sanctified by its constancy and its truth, will circle the spot on which the Monument will be upraised, proclaiming to generations yet unborn the national estimation of the tmsullied patriotism, the unalloyed fidelity, the brilhant genius, and the herculean labours of Ireland's greatest son. We again solicit your attendance on the 8th of August, and invite a generous co-operation in investing the occasion with all the solemnity befitting the inauguration of a Testimonial which will be proudly illustrative of a nation's gratitude for the services, and a people's veneration for the memory of the immortal O'Connell. Signed on behalf of the Committee, Petek Paul M'Swiney, Lord Mayor of Dublin. JoHX O'HanIon, C.C, Eon. Sec.

satisfaction the oflSce of honorary secretary to the Ceremonial Com- mittee. The date for laying the foundation stone of the Monument having been definitely fixed, acting upon the recommendation of the Sub- Committee, an address was then prepared and issued to the hierarchy and clergy of Ireland, to the municipal bodies, to the members of Parliament, and to others, inviting them to assist at the ceremonial. Acting also upon their suggestion, the Com- mittee decided upon engaging the Round Room in the Rotundo, for the purpose of having a public banquet, the cost of which should be borne by those present, with the exception of the Catholic Arch- bishops and Bishops, the Lord Mayor of Dublin, the Mayors of Ireland, and others specially named, who were to be invited guests. A Sub-Committee was also drafted to make all necessary arrangements. After careful consideration, and communicating with the different public bodies and individuals interested, the order of procession was finally arranged and extensively advertised.*

The work was accomplished with an imposing ceremonial, on the 8th of August, 1864, by the Right Hon. Peter Paul MacSwiney, Lord Mayor of Dublin, who undertook the duty of laying the foundation stone, at the special request of the O'Connell Monument Committee. A vast concourse of citizens and strangers filled the streets, every point of vantage being eagerly availed of; while the windows along the route were crowded with spectators, who manifested the greatest enthusiasm, as the processionists tiled past them in their regulated order. Graphic descriptions of the public bodies, processional banners, order of marching, the demonstration, and the festivities in the Rotundo, which appeared in the columns of the contemporaneous Dublin newspapers, render it unnecessary to do more, than briefly to recount the principal features of the day's proceedings. The procession which preceded the ceremonial was one of the most splendid sights ever witnessed in Dublin. Some idea may be formed of its vast proportions, from the fact, that it occupied no less than three hours, in marching past one given point. Starting from Stephen's Green, the procession wended its way, through streets thickly lined with spectators, and marshalled by various ofl&cers representing the trades and societies. The whole line was accom-

panied by several bands rendering the fine national airs of Ireland, at frequent intervals. Rosettes and green sashes were worn by most of the processionists. The line of movement was closed by the Provincial Mayors and civic representatives in their respective robes, and in open carriages. Members of Parliament, and of the Com- mittee, with the Lord Mayor of Dublin in his state coach with out-

( riders, the Aldermen and City Councillors, with the civic officers, all arrayed in their robes, brought up the rear. Enthusiastic cheering resounded along the streets, as popular favourites were recognized along the route. At three o'clock, that magnificent procession reached the site of the intended ceremony in O'Connell Street, then called Sackville St., upon which the Monumetit of O'Connell now stands. When filing off to the positions previously allotted to them, the people quietly massed themselves in vast but orderly battalions, around the platform which had been erected. At half-past three o'clock, the Lord Mayor arrived, accompanied by his Grace the Archbishop of Dublin, his Grace the Lord Primate, his Grace the Archbishop of Cashel, the Bishops of Limerick, Cork, Cloyne, Ross, Elphin, and Clogher, Sir John Gray, and other distinguished Irishmen. Those persons, for whom it had been specially preserved, having ascended the platform, an eloquent address was read to the Lord Mayor by Sir John Gray, on behalf of the O'Connell Monument Committee, " requesting him, as first citizen and chief magistrate, to lay the first stone of a structure intended to commemorate throughout all time the services of O'Connell and the gratitude of the Irish people." At the conclusion of the address. Sir John Gray handed to the Lord Mayor a trowel of beautiful workmanship, composed entirely

of solid silver, and bearing the following inscription :

Presented by THE COMMITTEE OP THE OCONNELL NATIONAL MONUMENT to the Eight Hon. Peter Paul M'Swiney, Lord Mayor of Dublia, On the occasion of his laying the first stone of the Monument on the 8th August, 1864. {Here followed the names of the Trustees, Hon. Secretaries, and the Ceremonial Committee),

The Lord Mayor having rejilied to the address, in a sprech of great ability, the work of laying the stone was proceeded with, and it formed a large square block of granite, weighing nearly two tons. It was supplied by Mr. John Cunningham, from the Dalkey quarries, and it was lowered by means of a powerful crane to the position, which it now occupies. There it was well and skilfully laid by the Lord Mayor, assisted by Sir John Gray, who fulfilled the part of *' labourer." In the stone were deposited a stereotype plate of the address, and a copy of the address which was printed from the plate, the newspapers of the day, and a printed document describing the — —

xlviii proceedings. The latter gave the names of the Committee, and many of the eminent persons who were present on the occasion. While the work was being carried out, the most unbounded enthusiasm prevailed. At its termination, the mallet which had been used, was presented to Sir John Gray, by the Ceremonial Committee. It was composed of Irish bog oak, exquisitely carved, and inscribed with national emblems, inlaid with silver. The armorial bearings of Sir John Gray were carved on it, and the following inscription : THIS MALLET Used by the Right Hon. Peter Paul M'Swinbt, Lord Mayor of Dublin, In laying the foundation stone of THE NATIONAL MONUMENT TO O'CONNELL, On the 8th of August, 1864 Is presented by the Ceremonial Committee To Sir John Gray, J. P., To mark their sense of the vast services rendered by him In originating, promoting, and carrying to the advent of its com]>Ietioa This great National Monument of Ireland's gratitude To her greatest son The Immortal Liberator. The banquet, which wound up the day's proceedings, was quite as successful as the ceremonial. Every thing was arranged in a manner to command the approval of all present, and never was there a more distinguished and representative body of guests assembled. It was held in the Round Room of the Rotundo, and nearly five hundred gentlemen were entertained. Not alone were these from various parts of Ireland, but from different places in England, Scot- land, Wales, and from other more distant nationalities. Suitable toasts were proposed and responded to. The principal speeches were those delivered by the Lord Mayor of Dublin, who presided, his Grace the Archbishop of Casbel, Sir John Gray, and Alderman John B. Dillon. A fine string band, under the direction of Mr. Levey, enlivened the intervals not devoted to speaking. The galleries were filled with a brilliant assemblage of ladies, who were also served with refreshments during the banquet, and whose presence lent additional animation to the scene. Before leaving this subject, it affords us sincere pleasure to mention, that the trades of the city, on the same evening, paid a graceful compliment to the deputations which attended the ceremonial. Their provincial brethren were invited to and regaled with a hospitable entertainment, provided in the Theatre of the Mechanics' Institute. Toasts and speeches followed, while citizens and strangers felt equally delighted at this social and patriotic re-union, on such a spirit-stirring occasion. We now quote from an article subsequently published in an impartial London daily journal—" The demonstration was the greatest that had ever taken place in Dublin, and the conduct of the people was most orderly and quiet." It was essentially a popular festival, designed to do honour to the memory of a man of the people. Right well and nobly was the undertaking carried out, and it was regarded as a glorious affirmation of those principles, which the mighty dead bequeathed to the whole Irish race. — ;

SECTION XI.—Subsequent Proceedings. Beyond determining on the minimum amount, which it was estimated must be required to erect a suitable memorial, no further action of a definite nature was taken by the Committee, in regard to the Monument itself, until the following autumn. Then, by formal resolution, at a Committee meeting, held on the 7th of September, the Very Rev. Andrew O'Conneil, Dean, Sir John Gray, Alderman Carroll, A. M. Sullivan, Kev. John O'Hanlon, Michael Angelo Hayes, and Michael Murphy, T.C., were appointed a Sub- Committee, to prepare a notification, to obtain suitable designs, and to award prizes for competitors, subject to specified conditions. Accordingly, these gentlemen met, and after due deliberation, it was decided to invite designs from artists, both at home and abroad, and to offer prizes of £100, £60, and £40, respectively, to be awarded, in the order of merit, by competent judges, to any three df the competitors, whose designs they might approve. The tribunal recommended for the purpose of selection, and whose decision was

to be final, comprised the following gentlemen : —The Lord Chan- cellor of Ireland, the Hon. Judge Berwick, the President of the Royal Hibernian Academy, the President of the Royal Institution of Architects of Ireland, George Petrie, Esq., Dr. Corrigan, Dr. Stokes, John E. Pigot, Esq., Dublin, and F. W. Burton, a well- known Irish artist residing in London. The Report of the Sub- Committee was approved, at the subsequent meeting of the General Committee, held on September 14th. Accordingly, advertisements were inserted, in the leading Irish, English, and Scotch newspapers, inviting designs, and these were to be deposited in the Committee Rooms, free of expense, on or before the 1st January, 1865. In response to the advertisement, sixty designs were received on the day named, and, with the sanction of the Municipal Council, these were exhibited for public inspection, in the large vestibule of the City Hall. They were duly arranged and catalogued. Great numbers of the citizens and strangers attended daily to inspect them. Some delay was requisite before these preliminaries were properly completed. The Committee of award assembled for the first time, on the 20th February, 1865. Having carefully examined the various designs which had been received, those gentlemen furnished the Committee with their report, on the following 21st April. From this, which was prepared with great skill and care, the following extracts may be interesting : " The designs presented for our consideration are in number sixty many of them are chiefly architectural, and consist of drawings; the remainder are more or less exclusively picturesque designs, several of which are exhibited in the shape of large models, including many finished figures. In the details of many of these designs, W€ are glad to recognize proofs of much ability and care. It is, therefore, with regret, that we find ourselves unable to recommend any of them for adoption by the Committee. We are of —

1 opinion, that no one of them fulfils the requirements of such a Monument as that proposed, having regard to the situation in which it is intended to be erected ; and, this being so, we find ourselves also obliged, though with reluctance, to decline recommending any designs for the prizes proposed to be awarded. ... In reporting, therefore, against all the designs now presented, we beg to recommend the Committee to invite the competing artists, either to modify those designs, or to prepare new designs altogether, subject to the following conditions : — 1st. If architectural features be introduced, then all architecture to be purely classic, to be entirely subordinate to the statue, and no varieties of coloured stone to be introduced, and the whole erection (inclusive of statue, if crowned by any statue) not to exceed forty feet in height. 2ndly. If the principal statue be in bronze, then the erection to be designed as an architectural pedestal, whatever its richness or extent ; if marble, then a classic covering, canopy or cupola, to protect it from above. 3rdly. If subordinate figures be introduced, then, these figures to be grouped, so as not to interfere with the unity of the whole, and all such figures to be wholly subordinate, and as few as possible in number."* Acting on the recommendation contained in this report, the competing artists were again asked to furnish fresh designs, and a copy of the report of the Committee of Award was transmitted to each

of the competitors. Some few availed themselves of this invitation ; but, all the designs submitted were again rejected by the tribunal, who stated them " to bo wanting in the grandeur and simplicity which are in our judgment indispensable to the character of the designed Monument." This decision was submitted to the Com- mittee, at their meeting, on the 4th October. The question having received fullest consideration, it was resolved, that the statue of O'Connell be entrusted to Mr. John H. Foley, the renowned Irish sculptor of London, and that he be requested to furnish the Com- mittee with a design for the entire Monument. In accordance with this determination, and certain stipulations being observed, correspondence passed between the Committee and Mr. Foley,! to form

* This KeiK)rt was signed by the following gentlemen : —Maziere Brady, Catterson Smith, Pr. R.H.A., Dr. D. Conigan, Walter Berwick, George Petrie, John Edward Pigot. The latter gentleman acted as hon. sec. to the Com- mittee of Award.

t The following letter was addressed to him : " City Hall, Dublin, 10th October, 1865. " Dear Sib—We are directed by the Committee of the O'Connell National Monument to inform you, that they have reserved the execution of the statue for you, provided you will undertake the same. They have to request, that you will, at your earliest convenience, furnish them with a design, or sketch model, of the entire Monument. It is the desire of the Committee, and indeed of the public, that this ISIonument shall be on a grand and an imposing scale, and we enclose a copy of the memorandum, or instructions furnished, when the intended work was put up for competition. Requesting the favour of an early

the basis of an arrangement on both sides. To the communication first sent a reply was received from Mr. Foley.* To this letter the Committee replied, addressing a letter to Mr. Foley, in which it was stated, that while not wishing to restrict his genius by any unreasonable provisos, yet " being desirous of satisfy- ing the reasonable requirements of our resident Dublin sculptors and artisans, who have a laudable anxiety to exercise their native talent and skill under your direction," they wished to ascertain if an arrangement could not be made, so as to fairly reconcile interests which, in their opinion, did not conflict with true artistic ideas. In

, the beginning of November, the Municipal Council resolved to ^reserve for their own special use the Council Chamber in the City

^ Hall, where the O'Connell Monument Committee were accustomed " to assemble ; but, they granted as a substitute one of the Com- mittee-rooms on the premises, for the future meetings of the members. j,

^ Meantime, an accident which occurred prevented an immediate ' reply, but on the 11th of January, 186G, Mr. Foley wrote, that he expected to visit Dublin before the end of that month. However, his intention was not then fulfilled, but at the close of March, he signified that he should leave London, and be happy to have an interview with members interested about the O'Connell Monument. On the 6th April, 1866, the Committee accordingly assembled, and

* He wrote in the following terms : •' 10, Osnaburgh-street, London, X.W., " 14th October, 1865. " Deab Sirs —I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 10th inst., and to request that you will convey to the Committee of the O'Connell National Monument my best thanks, for the honour they have done me, by applying to me for a design for the work. In regard to the carrying out of the design, will you kindly inform me if it is intended to entrust to me the prodac« tion of the statue only, as under such arrangement I fear the execution of the Monument would be an experiment in which, for the sake of my reputation, I could take no part. My views as to the necessity for entrusting to one artist the whole of the sculptural portions are based on the conviction, that in an undertaking involving many parts, the admixture of the various peculiarities of several artists must terminate in a mass of incongruities, in which, in justice to the importance and success of the memorial, I should be unwilling to venture. Though possessing no actual'power of its erection beyond the statue by my own hands, I should, as the author of the design, be held responsible for the character of the whole work. Combining artistic labours in the monumental art have hitherto proved unsuccessful, and I do not recognize in the present instance any ground for hope, beyond what the past supplies. Unless a work be of a nature so very extensive as to offer more than a single artist could con- scientiously undertake, it is unwise to divide the responsibility of its production. As in the case of the statueof Goldsmith, of Father Mathew, and of Burke (now in progress), all the architectural portions of the 0'Ck)nuell Monument could be carried out in Ireland, and if a competent bronze founder would undertake the castings, I should be only happy to know that in my native country such work could be supplied. " I have the honour to be, dear sirs, your faithful servant, "J. H. FOLET. *' Rev. John O'Hanlon,) „ « „ ^o»-''«^- "Martin Crean, > —

lii favoured with an interview by Mr. Foley, the Sub-Committee reported his recommendation that an architect should be engaged to furnish a design, which should be more of an architectural than of a sculptural character. If he approved of the architect's design, h« declared he would be happy to take upon himself the erection of O'Connell's Statue. As a result, designs for the Monument were invited from three of the most eminent resident Irish architects, who were selected by ballot, and each of whom should receive a sum of ^20, as remuneration for his labour. These were Messrs. J. J. MacCarthy, John Butler, and Peter Madden. Only two of the gentlemen selected complied with the Committee's invitation, and the designs which they submitted, although reaching a high standard of excellence, yet were not of such a character as to warrant the Committee in adopting them. Considerable delay was caused by this process. At a meeting of the Committee held August 22nd, the following resolution moved by Alderman John B. Dillon, hon. sec, " was carried by a vote of 37 against 20 members : That a Com- mittee consisting of the following persons be hereby appointed to select a suitable design for the O'Connell Monument, and that said Committee should have full power to decide finally on a design, and entrust the execution thereof to such person as in their judgment they shall approve : —Alderman John Reynolds, Sir Dominic Corrigan, Sir John Gray, Rev. John O'Rorke, Very Rev. Thomas Canon Pope, Mr. John Keegan, Alderman Lane Joynt, Very Rev. Dr. John Spratt, Charles Bianconi, D.L., Rev. James Daniel, and Mr. Frazer." Circumstances occurred, however, which prevented any immediate action being taken on the matter for the remainder of this year. On Saturday, the 15th September, 1866, the lamented death of John Blake Dillon, M.P., occurred after a brief illness. Not alone as hon. secretary of the O'Connell Monument Committee, but as discharging other public duties of high trust, with the character and capacity which so greatly distinguished this sterling patriot, his loss was deeply and generally mourned by his fellow-countrymen.

SECTION XII. Selection of and Contract with John IL Foley, to Execute the Monument.

After much anxious deliberatien, in which the Committee were influenced, on the one hand, by a patriotic desire to encourage resident Irish talent, and on the other, by an anxiety to avoid anything, which could in any measure tend to interfere with the success-

ful completion of the National IMonument ; it was now resolved, that the selection of an artist and of a design be entrusted to a Committee, appointed specially for the purpose, and whose decision should be regarded as a final settlement of the question at issue. Their opinion seemed to be all but unanimous, and by that Committee, Mr. Foley was requested to supply a design for the entire structure. —

liii

Some correspondence between the artist and the honorary secretaries, regarding the estimated cost, and the basis on which the Monument was to be completed, led to a satisfactory understanding, and Mr. Foley was instructed to proceed with his model. This he accordingly did, and this part of the work was completed within a few months. It was ready for transportation to Dublin in the month of Novem- ber, and under the superintendence of Mr. Hone, the studio assistant of Mr. Foley, it was placed for inspection in the City Hall, previous to the arrival of Mr. Foley himself. It was submitted to the Com- mittee of Selection, at their meeting on the 13th December, 1867, together with the following interesting description of the work, as written by the distinguished artist, who was present. " The design is intended to record the gratitude of the Irish people for the blessings of civil and religipus liberty, obtained for their native land by the labours of the illustrious O'Connell. Triumphal in character, it comprises three principal parts, all tending to the expression ot a common purpose, viz. : First—The personal representation of the Liberator. Secondly—The great theme of his labours. Thirdly—The qualities of mind and power exemplified in the career of O'Connell, by the four-winged victories of Patriotism, Fidelity, Courage, and Eloquence. Victory by patriotism bears a sword and shield, as prepared to defend her native land. Victory by fidelity has seated, at her side, an Irish wolf dog, and bears in her hand the compass, denoting that she is true to her cause " as the faithful needle to the pole." Victory by courage is represented as strangling a serpent, her left hand resting on the fasces, symbolizing power by unity. Victory by eloquence as appealing to reason and judgment on the theme she holds in her hand. At the angle of the base are placed pedestals, supporting the four figures above named, decorated with wreaths of shamrock and laurel. Between these rises a superstructure, the plan of which is of the form of an ancient Irish cross, laid horizontally. In the divisions of the circle are inserted shields, bearing the arms of the four provinces. Above this superstructure rises the pedestal encircled by figures representing all classes from the peer to the peasant, as hastening from every part of the sea-girt isle (typefied by the wave pattern surrounding the plinth) to hear proclaimed their newly-attained religious and civil liberty. In the front, her hair wreathed with shamrock, her harp beside her, and the chains which hitherto bound her lying broken at her feet, stands the figure of Erin. In her left hand, she holds a record of his achievements, whilst with her right she points upward to O'Connell, as her champion and deliverer. To the right is a group of ecclesiastics, the principal of whom, a bishop, is directing the attention of some students to the record. Immediately following —

liv are the poet and historian, the artist, and the musician, with score in hand :

" Oh ! Where's the slave so lowly, Condemned to chains unholy, Who could he burst His bonds at first, Would pine beneath them slowly." Next appears the artizan, succeeded by the soldier and the sailor. To the left, a group of peasants eagerly presses forward to obtain a sight of the Charter of their liberties. Next, as representing Trade,

Commerce, and Municipal authority, follows the Lord Mayor ; Law, Justice, Philosophy, and Science, find their exponents in appropriate figures. Completing the arch, stand the peer and statesman, engaged in earnest converse. Numerous other figures are seen in the back- ground. The cap of the pedestal is encircled by a wreath of shamrocks, leaf and flower alternately. Crowning the composition is the figure of O'Connell, whom it is proposed to represent habited in the cloak, by which he was so well known ; in his right hand he holds a roll of paper, the left resting on the breast of his buttoned frock coat. The figures and shields will be execured in bronze, the architecture in the most appropriate and lasting stone, to be obtained from Irish quarries." The Committee having closely examined the model, —crowned with a cloaked figure of O'Connell— expressed themselves highly pleased with its beauty and appropriateness, while the distinguished artist was heartily congratulated by all present on this latest effort of his genius. Having been informed by Mr. Foley, that the cost of the Monument should be about £12,500, they unanimously adopted

: — the following resolution respecting it " Resolved : that Mr. Foley's design be approved on the conditions agreed to by him, viz. : —The Monument to be executed and erected complete, in accordance with the design, of the full size, and Mr. Foley to accept the sum now invested, namely, £10,169 19s. 9d., new three per cent, stock, with its accumulations, as and for £12,500. The sum of £2,000 to be at once transferred to Mr. Foley, and the remainder to remain invested, the interest to be half-yearly drawn and reinvested with a declaration

of trust, on behalf of the present trustees ; the total sum so invested, at the period of completion, to be handed over to Mr. Foley, on the full completion and erection of the Monument." The distinguished sculptor verbally accepted these terms, and fully assented to the contract, which was afterwards duly signed and recorded. A short time previous to this arrangement, on the 3rd of Decem- ber, 1867, the death of Martin Crean, City Marshal, a faithful friend and follower of the Liberator, took place. As one of the honorary secretaries, he was a much respected and hard-working member of the O'Connell Committee. For several days, after terms had been made with Mr. Foley, the model which remained on exhibition in the City Hall was inspected by an immense number of the public, and it elicited universal admiration. Iv

SECTION XIII.—Death of Mr. Foley and Renewed Contract WITH HIS Legal Representatives.

Considering the magnitude of the undertaking, and the enormous amount of sculptural work entrusted to Mr. Foley, the O'Connell National Monument made satisfactory progress under his hands. He had often declared to his friends and to the Committee, that he intended to make it the principal work of his life. The meetings of the Committee were now suspended, as the artist had assured them three years must necessarily elapse between the date of signing the contract and the completion of the work. But Mr. Foley was not bound to time, as he desired to elaborate the many complex figures designed for the Monument. A few years having passed over, the Irish public became impatient

to learn the cause of delay ; although assurances were obtained, that collossal groups were in course of preparation in the artist's studio. On the 8th of August, 1871, the Committee assembled to hear a statement from Mr. Foley himself, who visited Dublin, at that time. He detailed the portions moulded in plaster, and those to be com-

pleted ; but he deprecated too great an impatience, as extension of time must render all the parts more perfect, while he was personally interested in the speedy prosecution and completion of his task. The modelling of these figures went on steadily, however, until August the 27th, 1874, when at Hampstead, near London, the lamented death of that gentleman, which occurred rather unex- pectedly, suspended the work. This was the more to be regretted, as it ,had been confidently anticipated, that the Monument, which Mr. Foley regarded as his chef d'ceuvre, and which was rapidly approaching completion, might have been ready for erection, on the site chosen for it, before the celebration of the centenary of the birth of O'Connell, on the 6th August, 1875. This occasion had been designed for unveiling the Monument with a great public ceremonial. It need scarcely be added, that Mr. Foley, by his splendid genius, had won for himself the reputation of being the greatest sculptor of his time, and by his premature decease, Ireland lost one of her most gifted sons. Owing to this unfortunate circumstance, it became necessary for the Committee at once to determine the precise legal position in which they stood, as Trustees for the O'Connell National Monument Fund, with regard to the representatives of Mr. Foley. Accordingly, a Sub-Committee, consisting of Messrs. William Gernon and Henry with the Rev. John O'Hanlon, was appointed, to enquire into the le«»al position of the General Committee in respect to the Monument. After a conference, the Sub-Committee sought the opinion of counsel on the arrangement which had been entered into with Mr. Foley ; and on the 27th October, 1874, they were advised by Mr. John B. Murphy, 6 Mountjoy-square, as follows :—" I think, that if all the artistic part of the work has been completed, or substantially so, and — —

Ivi

that nothing remains to be done but what is merely mechanical, the representatives of the late Mr. Foley may be entitled to proceed with the Monument, and at its completion, within a reasonable time, to

secure the balance of the Trust Fund ; but as the artistic portion of the work was intended to be executed by Mr. Foley himself, or under his superintendence, I think that if that portion of the work has not been completed, the Committee are entitled to treat the contract as rescinded by his death, and to be paid back the £2,000, as so much money paid on a consideration, which has wholly failed. The foregoing appears to me to be the strict legal position of the parties, so far as I can form an opinion respecting it, from the minutes in the book sent to me. If it exposes the representatives of Mr. Foley to hardship, they may blame the original arrangement, which does not appear to have contemplated the possibility of his dying before the completion of the work. I, however, infer from the letters received by the -Committee, that the work already done is of such a character and value, that the Committee may find it advantageous to come to such an arrangement respecting it, with the representatives of the deceased Mr. Foley, as shall prevent litigation or hardship upon either side." Having given this opinion their careful consideration, the Com- mittee deputed Sir John Gray and the Rev. Mr. O'Rorke, to visit the studio of the late Mr. Foley, for the purpose of ascertaining the stage at which the progress of the work had been arrested. JSoon they complied with that request of the Committee, and these gentlemen reported in detail, on the condition in which they found those several parts, into which the Monument had been divided.* Eightly assuming from this report, that practically very little beyond the mere mechanical portion of the work remained unexecuted, at the time of Mr. Foley's death, the Committee next placed themselves directly in communication with Mr. Foley's representative, Mr. George F. Tenniswood.

* Their communication was couched in the following terms: To the Members of the O'Connell Monument Committee. London, 9th November, 1874. " Gentlemen,—In accordance with your resolution of Thursday last, we this day visited the studio of the late Mr. Foley. From the model exhibited some eight years ago in the City Hall, Dublin, you will remember that the Monu- ment consists of three principal parts 1. A drum, which is to rest on a stone pedestal, and on which is to stand the colossal figure of the Liberator. 2. Four seated winged Victories, placed at equal distances around the drum and on the same elevation, but not reposing against it. 3. The figure of the Liberator himself. We now proceed to lay before you the state of the full-sized clay model of the Monument, as enlarged from the miniature model shown in Dublin. First, as to the drum, it is ornamented with fifty figures, which are grouped around it ; fourteen of these are in high relief, so high, indeed, that they may almost be regarded as statues. The principal figure is Erin trampling on broken fetters, with her right arm uplifted she points to O'Connell, aa LF to —

On the 8th of December, 1874, at a meeting of the Committee, William Louis Hackett, Barrister-at-Law—one of its most zealous members—was appointed an honorary secretary. This gentleman was a native of Clonmel, and his father had been a tried friend of the Liberator. On the 19th February, 1875, in reply to a letter addressed to Mr. George F. Tenniswood, by the hon. sees, of the Committee, requesting to be apprised of *' the names of the legal representatives of Mr. Foley, and also the name or names of the artist or artists to whom it was proposed to commit the superintendence of the completion of the Monument," a communication was received from that gentleman, giving the required information.* Delays, however, were ezem- indicate that it was he who broke the chains on which she ia trampling, and thereby freed the groups who are gathering round to look upon the face of their Liberator. She stands seven feet six incnes high. Her head is crowmed with a wreath of shamrocks, and in her left hand she holds a scroll, the record of O'Connell's deeds. The other figures in bold relief are representative figures, emblematic of art, science, and the various professions—Religion, Industry, Study, each having its appropriate figure. The remaining thirty-six figures are in ordinary relief, and are in equal height with those in high relief—namely, seven feet. The drum, with its fifty figures, is complete, and was, beyond doubt, complete before Mr. Foley's death, with the exception of what is called the under* clothing of some of the figures in high relief. The four winged Victories are incomplete. Nothing has been done to them except that the heads—the most important parts—were modelled a considerable time ago by Mr. Foley. Of course the whole design for these exists in the small model. These Victories, if in a standing position, would be ten feet high. Coming to the chief part of all—the statue of O'Connell—it is modelled full size, and that was done in the life-time of Mr. Foley. There can be no doubt of this, for one of your deputation saw it more than two years ago, as did also a distinguished member of your Ommittee, Sir Dominic Corrigan. Mr. Foley gave the finishing touches to the head, a few weeks before he was seized with his last illness ; but the feet, where the trousers fall on the boots, have not received the finishing touches. This figure stands thirteen feet high. shields The emblematic of the four provinces are not modelled full size, but this we do not regard as a matter of very much importance. Mr. Tenniswood, the friend and executor of Mr. Foley, received us with great courtesy, and showed every disposition to give us the fullest information, and with the greatest readiness placed everything connected with the Monu- ment before us. He said he put himself and the whole matter in the hands of the Committee, being determined to act that just and honourable part which he knew his friend would have acted had he lived. Mr. Tenniswood has not as yet the full power of an executor, as Mr. Foley's will is not proved, but it is confidently expected that it will be proved in a week. John Geay, M.P. John O'Rokke, P.P." * The following letter was written by him : " 10 Osnaburgh-street, Regent's Park, N.W., 19th February, 1875. "Gentlemen,—! have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your letter of 16th inst., and in reply to your inquiries, I beg to state that I alone occupy the position of legal representative of Mr. Foley, the two gentlemen who with myself were named in Mr. Foley's virill as his executors, having retired from such duties, I consequently became sole acting executor and trustee, and on receipt e

^k Iviii plified in this as they are in most other legal cases, and it was not until the following December, that letters of probate under Mr. Foley's will* were granted to Mr. Tenniswood. In the meantime, the O'Connell Monument remained untouched. During this period of suspense, the Committee suffered a signal loss, in the death of one of its oldest and most able members. Sir John Gray, M.P., who died on the 9th of April, 1875. Since his initiation of the movement in 1862, he had been untiring in his exertions to promote its success, actuated solely by the love which he bore for the memory of O'Connell, whose friend and fellow- prisoner he had been. To him must be attributed, in a marked degree, the origin and promotion of that Centenary Commemoration of O'Connell's birth, which occurred on the 6th of August, 1775. It was celebrated with great national demonstrations of rejoicing on

Friday, August 6th, 1875 ; but, as the arrangements and expenditure were directed by a special organization—quite distinct from that of the O'Connell Monument Committee—we have only to observe, that a beautifully illustrated Volume, intituled the " O'Connell Centenary Record, 1875," published by authority of the O'Connell Centenary Committee, gives a very full account of that imposing ceremonial. Although various members of the O'Connell Monument Committee participated in that celebration, it formed no direct part, strictly speaking, of our charge or proceedings. In the meantime—on the 4th December, 1875—Mr. Tenniswood, having notified to the Committee, that letters of probate under the will of Mr. Foley had been granted to him, it was resolved by them to enter into a contract with him for completing the work. Towards the close of this year, by order of the Committee, Messrs. Craig and Gardner, public accountants, audited the accounts, and their statement was then published.f The death of William Louis Hackett, hon secretary, took place on the 9th of January, 1876, and at a subsequent meeting of the Com- mittee, held on the 14 th, they passed a resolution of condolence and deep regret for a gentleman so distinguished by his ardent patriotism, eminent abilities, and high moral character. This period was marked likewise by a controversy, which attracted very considerable public interest. It originated in a suggestion,

of letters of probate empowered to act in all business of the estate of the deceased. *' In reference to your inquiiy as to the artists named in the will of Mr. Foley to complete his unfiniahed works, they are Mr. Brook, Mr. Dewick, and Mr. Birch. Mr. Brock was Mr. Foley's principal assistant at the time of his death, a post he has held for some years. Mr. Devdck also had been engaged in the studio for several years. Mr. Birch was formerly with Mr. Foley, but not of late years. " I am, gentlemen, yours faithfully, "Geo. F. Tekniswood. •' To the Hon. Sees. O'Connell Monument Committee." This Document is published in the Appendix. t This Balance Sheet may be found in the Appendix. lix made at a meeting of the Committee in September and October, 1875, that the statue of the Liberator should be erected without a cloak. According to. the published report of the proceedings of the Committee, who met on the 13th December, 1867, to consider Mr. Foley's design for the statue, two models were submitted, the one cloaked, and the other uncloaked, and the question having been put from the chair as to which of the two should be selected, there was a unanimous decision in favour of the former. It was upon this understanding, also, that Mr. Foley had been modelling the statue. The important question now raised gave rise to much discussion, and the interest manifested upon the subject was both deep and widespread. It elicited strong expressions of opinion from all districts pf the country. The press-writers were almost unanimous in their advocacy of the retention of the cloak, as were also many eminent artists, who published their views on the subject. Those who advocated the rejection of the cloak argued, that a figure so draped should present an ungraceful appearance when viewed from bshind, and therefore must be unsuited for a site, such as had been chosen for it. Some members of the O'Connell family also expressed themselves opposed to the cloak, on the ground that their illustrious relation rarely went so attired. On the other hand, those who favoured the retention ot the cloak, were supported by the opinion, expressed by Mr. Foley himself, at the meeting of the Committee on the 13th December, 1867, On that occasion, when the cloaked figure was unanimously chosen, Mr. Foley remarked, that the choice which had been made " was thoroughly in accord with the choice which he himself would have made." But there was another and a still stronger reason why the decision then arrived at should be ad- v hered to. The cloaked statue had been almost completed by the great master himself, and if it were now decided to revert to the uncloaked design, which Mr. Foley had also submitted at the meeting to which we have referred, the entire work of the modelling the full sized statue should be entrusted to strange hands. It was not until the following 28th January, 1876, that the vexed question of whether the statue should be draped orundraped was finally settled. On that day, before a very full meeting of the Committee, specially convened for the purpose, the subject was discussed at great length. The following resolution, proposed by Mr. Edmund Dwyer Gray, was carried on a division by a majority of seven—thirty voting for the resolution, and twenty-three against, viz. : —" That having fully considered the views put forward by Mr. Morgan O'Connell and other * members of the O'Connell family, with every wish to pay all respect due to them, the Committee is still of opinion, that Foley's Monument to O'Connell, as unanimously selected by the Committee in December, 1867, should be erected intact. That while coming to this final decision, the Committee desire respectfully to remind *the members of the O'Connell famfly, that the draped figure was selected more than eight years ago, after careful consideration by a thoroughly competent Committee, that Foley expressed his approval of their «

opinion of eminent counsel, regarding their competency to make the transfer, and as a consequence the proper course to pursue. A case was therefore drawn ^up and submitted to the Right Hon. Hugh Law, Q.O., and to! Mr. John B. Murphy, Q.C., who advised the Committee " they were clearly of opinion that Sir Dominic Corrigan and Mr. Moylan may safely transfer the Trust Fund into the hands of Alderman Campbell and William Lane Joynt, the two surviving original trustees, if these gentlenaen will consent to act, and we further think, that Sir Dominic Corrigan and Mr. Moylan ought, with that consent, to make such transfer." They further advised the Committee, that all new trustees should be appointed by the Court of Chancery.* Having vainly endeavoured to induce Sir Dominic Corrigan to alter his determination, the Committee considered it prudent to appoint a successor, who would co-operate with the trustees originally appointed. They therefoi-e nominated Mr. Edmund Dwyer Gray, and an order was obtained from the Master of the Rolls, July 19th, 1877, approving of the appointment. A further order was made, also, on the same occasion, which transferred the trusteeship of the Fund to Alderman Moylan, William Lane Joynt, Alderman John Campbell, and Edmund Dwyer Gray, in whose names it was then invested. The other difficulty to which we have referred, and which occasioned delays was one affecting the will made by Mr. Foley, and which obliged Mr. 'Tenniswood to engage in Chancery proceedings. These

were not of a serious nature : but, nevertheless, they were sufficient to prevent Mr. Tenniswood from entering on the work of completing the statue for several months. The duty of arranging the terms of that contract, into which the Committee had decided to enter with Mr. Tenniswood, when he should be at liberty to undertake the work, was entrusted to a Sub-Comraittee, composed of the following gentlemen, viz. : —William Gernon, E. D, Gray, Rev. John O'Hanlon, Michael A. Hayes, and Thomas H. Tracy. This Sub-Committee after careful consideration and negotiation with Mr. Tenniswood, prepared the subjoined agreement,! which he accepted. The docu-

" ' • ' — * For further particulars in connexion with this matter, the reader is referred to the Appendix.

t It ran as follows : An Agreement made this day of , 1878, between George Francis Tenniswood, of Caton Lodge, CTpper Richmond-road, Putney, in the county of Surrey, gentleman, of the first part : the Right Hon. Hugh Tarpey, now Lord Mayor of the city of Dublin ; Isaac Butt, Q.C., M.P.; Maurice Brooks, M.P.; the Rev. J. O'Rorke, P.P.; and Alderman Hugh O'Rorke, J.P. all of the said city of ; Dublin, of the second part : and Thomas Brock, of Nyanza Villa, Grange Park, Ealing, in the county of Middlesex, sculptor, of the third part. Whereas it having been determined to erect in Ireland a Monument to the late Daniel O Connell, and a Committee of the subscribers to such Monument lia,ving been duly appointed, a fund was collected for the purpose, and a commission was given by such Committee to the late John Henry Foley, sculptor, deceased, to design and execute a Monument in memory of the said Daniel Izii ment prepared, having been revised by the Right Hon. Hugh Law^ Q.C., and Mr. J. B. Murphy, Q.C., was submitted to the Committee at a meeting held on the 13th June, 1878. This agreement was approved by the Committee, and the following resolutions were adopted in reference to it : —"Resolved,—That the trustees be and are hereby authorized when the contract is completed to pay to Mr. Brock the sum of £800, and to accept as security therefor the deposit of a policy of insurance on his life for X1,000, and a bond for a similar sum of Brock, of London, named as security by Mr. Brock." The gentleman notified had considerable means, and he was father to the artist. Again, it was " Resolved,—That H. H. Armstead, Esq., of Bridge-place, Pimlico,

said payments." No arrangement was made as to the limit of time for completion of the monument, it being supposed the terms of agreement should be a sufficient stimulus for the artist to hasten its execution. Soon after this date, the contract was formally signed. Then the work of completing the O'Connell Monument was re- commenced, after an interval of nearly three years, during which time it required incessant attention to preserve the statue, as modelled by Mr. Foley, in good condition. The death of William J. Henry, one of the Honorary Secretaries, occurred during this interval.

SECTION XIV.—Mr. Thomas Brock's Arrangements for Erecting the Monument.

Meantime the newly appointed artist lost little time, when he had been entrusted with the commission, and in the beginning of 1879 the elaborate figures around the drum portion of the Monument were nearly ready for the founders, Messrs. Cox and Son, whose manager, Mr. Moore, was an Irishman. The artistic skill of Mr. Brock was exercised on the principal figure, the statue of O'Connell,

to realize Mr. Foley's conceptions ; and when the summer had passed, he resolved on paying a visit to Dublin, for the purpose of arranging to construct the stone work as a basis for the several figures. Accordingly, a meeting of the Committee was summoned for the occasion, and a number of its members attended on the 4th September, 1879. Wherefore Mr. Brock waited on the Committee, and suggested to them the advisability of at once deciding on the quality of the material to be employed in the foundation for the Monument. Having carefully considered the subject, with the importance of which the Committee were impressed, it was determined to use only the best Irish limestone for the pedestal, and to make the necessary arrangements for having this work executed. At the same meeting, Mr. Brock mentioned, that it would be desirable to effect some slight alteration in the character of the cloak for the figure as designed by Mr. Foley. " It was generally felt," he said, *' that the cloak was too heavy, and I have no doubt that Foley intended to rearrange the drapery. In fact, when he was ill, just previous to his death, he instructed me to cut away the cloak so as to rearrange it. Unfortunately, he died before it could be completed, and I hope the Committee will give me liberty to do what I think best in the matter. It is simply a question of details, and nothing more." Having heard Mr. Brock's statement, the Committee thought it should be unwise to impose any restrictions upon him, so far as details he had mentioned were concerned. They therefore authorized him " to make such modification in the drapery of the statue as in his discretion as an artist he might think desirable, for improvement of the effect." At the request of the Committee, having examined specimens of limestone from the principal Irish quarries. Mr. Brock reported in favour of Mr. Hammond's quarry, near Dnndalk. He then prepared a specification, embodying this recommendation, and the Committee invited tenders for the execution of the work in accordance with its terms. The tender of Mr. W. J. Doherty, 22 Sir John Rogerson's Quay, for £552, being the lowest, it was accepted. The work was therefore undertaken by Mr. Doherty, and it was carried out hj him, to the entire satisfaction of the Committee. In the succeeding summer, when the work of constructing the foundation had been completed, an agitation in which some of the traders of Sackville-street joined was commenced, advocating the re-

Ixvi that it must seriously interfere with the traffic of Sackville-street, The railway companies having termini in the city, the steamship companies trading to and from the port of Dublin, manufacturers, distillers, and others joined. In support of the movement, an influential meeting of citizens was held in the Commercial Buildings. On the 17th of July following, the matter was brought before a meeting of the O'Connell Committee specially convened to consider the subject. The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, Edmund Dwyer Gray, as chairman of the meeting, introduced the question. He stated, how he had called that meeting, because it appeared to him there was a very general and strong public feeling, and not of a political nature, that the base of the Monument, as it then stood, was too wide and should be an obstruction to street traffic, while a memorial to that eflfect to the corporation, had been prepared. Under these circumstances, he wrote a letter to Mr. Brock, asking him was it practicable to reduce the size of the base without injuring the appearance of the Monument. He was inclined to think, that as theMonument was so much lower than that of Nelson's, the base might look better if reduced in dimensions. An answer the Lord Mayor had received from Mr. Brock was then read, in which thi& artist admitted a reduction of the extreme width to thirty-two feet^ as the minimum space to be conceded.* The Committee having fully discussed the matter, unanimously resolved, " That having heard the letter of Mr. Brock, the artist of the O'Connell Monument, we now approve of the altered plan of the base in order to remove any ground of complaint, and that we submit the alteration to the Corporation for their sanction and approval." At the same meeting, the position of a base for the Monu- ment, with regard to the lines formed by the adjacent streets, wa» considered. This question was referred to Mr. Brock, to advise if the general effect should not be improved were the foundation set moved backward, so as to bring the front step into a right line with the corners of Eden Quay and Bachelor's Walk. Having inspected the site, Mr. Brock approved the alteration suggested. This work was entrusted to Mr. Doherty, and carried out by him, at a cost ta the Committee of £190. In 1880, on the 6th of August, the Right Hon. Lord Mayor, Edmund Dw^yer Gray, M.P., and the civic autho-

* The following was the letter : " My Dear Lord Mayor, " If it is deemed important to secure a greater space for the thoroughfare around the O'Connell Monument, the base may, I think, be reduced by eight feet, without serious detriment to the appearance of the Monument. This would bring the extreme width down to thirty-two feet. I propose to obtain the reduction, by taking the steps up, entirely dispensing with the lower one altogether, and setting the two remaining ones back four feet all round. By reference to the enclosed tracing, this will be more clearly understood. Anything more than this could not be done, without completely spoil- ing the general effect. " Yours faithfully, "Thomas Brock." ——

rities in state, and by order of the municipalities, inaugurated and completed a splendid ceremonial of a public character, having for its object the change of name—on re-building and widening the structure—from Carlisle Bridge to O'Connell Bridge. A vast assemblage of citizens and strangers were present, and the proceedings were hailed with general acclamation. From that date until May, 1882, no meeting of the O'Connell Monument Committee was held. The business transacted in the meantime consisted of payments made at different periods to Mr. Brock, on account of his contract. Mr. Armstead certified the completion of the different stages of the work, as required by article 6 of the agreement. In order to obviate the inconvenience of convening meetings, the trustees were deputed to make the requisite payments by resolution of the Committee, passed on the 21st June, 1880. During this year, passed away from life, John Reilly, B.L., T.C., Kingstown, one of the Honorary Secretaries, appointed when the Committee was], originally formed.

SECTION XV.—Erection and Unveiling of the O'Connell Monument. On the 13th of May, 1882, a meeting of the Committee was specially convened, to consider a letter* from the Irish Exhibition Company,Limited, and which had been organized under the presidency of the Right Hon. Charles Dawson, M.P., Lord Mayor of Dublin, for the promotion of Irish Industries. An enquiry was made as to the possibility of having the O'Connell Monument ready for unveiling on the fast approaching day for opening the Exhibition. In the meantime, the stone work had been completed, and several of the bronze figures had been already placed. Mr. Gray stated, that on receipt of this letter, he had communicated on the subject with Mr. Brock, from whom he had received a reply.f which he read.

* The following was the letter : "Irish Exhibition Company, Limited, Mansion House, t^j. "Dublin, 26th April, 1882. IJEAR biR, —I have been directed by my board to ask if your committee would endeavour to arrange to have the O'Connell statue unveiled on the day tne i^xhibition 13 to be opened, loth August. I shaU feel obliged by your iettmg me have the information, at the earliest convenient moment. "I am, my dear sir, yours faithfully, " ^. T^ /-.-,, , John C. Rodney, Secretary. " E.w ^ D.

Ixviii

In the course of the discussion, which followed the reading of these letters, the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, Charles Dawson, M.P., strongly urged that by uniting both ceremonials on the day chosen, public convenience and greater edat must be the result, whereas it seemed best to accord with the wishes of the trades and other societies, likely to take part in this patriotic demonstration. Ultimately the Committee adopted the following resolution: *' That the inauguration do take place this year ; that the hon. secretary ascertain from Mr. Brock, if he can guarantee the comple-

tion of the monument before November 1st ; that the consideration of the letter from the Exhibition Company stand adjourned to this day fortnight, and that the view of the trades on the subject be as- certained by the chairman meanwhile. On the 27th of May, the subject of unveiling the statue was again resumed. During the interval the trades of Dublin had been communicated with, in order to elicit their views as regarded the double ceremonial, and a letter had been received from them, which was now submitted to the Committee, transmitting a copy of a resolution which had been passed at a meeting of the trades societies, held under the presidency of the Lord Mayor, as follows : —" Resolved,—That in the opinion of this meeting, the opening of the Irish Exhibition of 1882, and the unveiling of the O'Connell Monument, ought to take place on the 15th August, and that the trades of Dublin pledge themselves to take an active part in the two ceremonials." Having given the subject their fullest consideration, the Com- mittee unanimously adopted the following resolutions: —"Resolved,

these large figures. The first one is not yet cast, though that will be accomplished very shortly. The second, recently inspected by Mr. Armstead, is now in his hands, but I can only get him to promise with certainty to complete these two in time to be fixed prior to the date named, August 15th. I stated to the Lord Mayor, when over here a short time ago, that I was doubtful of

the possibility of completing the fourth one in time ; but I had confidently anticipated the third, at least, being ready, and am extremely disconcerted to find now that the founder cannot pledge himself definitely to that. You will be glad to know, that I have finished the model of the third Victory, and it is now being cast in plaster. The remaining one also is well advanced, and will be finished by the end of this month, thus completing my individual work. Ifc will, however, I fear from what I now learn, be impossible that either of these can be produced in bronze by the required date. In reply to a communication from the Lord Mayor, I have written suggesting, in order that the monument should appear complete, that the third and fourth figures might be moulded, and a bronze plaster cast of each placed in position till the metal castings can be substituted. That would involve an expense of at least £100, for casting, carriage, packing, &c. —a charge which I am not in a position to bear myself. The question, therefore, is whether the committee would be willing to. undertake that outlay to secure the advantage of the monument £resenting a finished aspect on the occasion, and so afford an opportunity of eing judged of as a whole. If I had an affirmative decision in this matter without delay, the model of the third figure could be moulded at once before going to the foundry. " Believe me, dear sir, yours faithfully, "Thomas Brock. "E.D.Gray, Esq., M.P." Lux

—^That the request of the Directors of the Exhibition be complied ivith, and the monument be inaugurated on the day of the opening of the Exhibition, and that if necessary it be inaugurated although two only of the winged Victories be in their places." " Kesolved,—That the Eight Hon. the Lord Mayor be requested to unveil the monument." Having thus definitely settled the date of the unveiling of the statue, the Committee next appointed ten of their members to represent them on a joint ceremonial committee, to be comprised of members from the O'Connell Monument Committee, the Irish Exhi- bition Company, Limited, the Home liule League, and the Trades of Dublin, to whom could be deputed the duty of arranging all the details in connection with the two ceremonies. The following are the names of the gentlemen nominated for this purpose : —The Lord

Mayor, M.P., Chairman ; the High Sheriff, M,P., and the Rev»

John O'Hanlon, P.P., Hon. Sees. ; Alderman Campbell, W. Lane

Joynt, Eev. James Daniel, P.P. ; Professor Kavanagh, John Nagle, John Kennedy, T.C., and J. J. Eobinson, T.C. At that time, the Committee anticipated, that at least two of the four winged Victories^ designed by Mr. Foley to be placed at each corner of the base of the monument, could have been so far completed, as to admit of their erection before the ceremony of unveiling, but in that expec- tation the Committee was disappointed. On the 18th July, a letter was received from Mr. Brock, the artist, stating that only one of the figures had up to that date been successfully cast by the founder, and that the second could not be ready by any possibility, before the 15th August. Under these circumstances, the Committee deemed it advisable to postpone the erection of any of the Victories, until the four were completed. On the 31st of July, a statement of accounts in connection with the Monument, and contribution of the Committee towards the joint ceremonial, were ordered for publication.* By great effort, the O'Connell Statue, having been cast and brought to Dublin, was placed in its position, crowning the monumental structure, on the 4th of August. Mr. Foley had more than once declared to the Committee, that while living in Dublin, he had often attended the meetings, at which the great Tribune spoke, and had well ilnpressed on his mind every pose and gesture of O'Connell. As a work of art, and conveying most accurately a perfect representation of his figure, which was full and over muscular after early manhood, the statue stands unrivalled. In every detail, full of power and dignity, in every feature of the human countenance, beaming with manly grace, expression, and eloquence, the magic touch of the master hand governed by the great Irish sculptor is discovered. The 15th of August was a grand and memorable ceremonial, uniting two objects of great national interest ; the unveiling of the O'Connell Monument and the opening of the Irish Exhibition, in Dublin. A large platform had been erected on the space beyond

visitors from all parts of Ireland, England, Scotland, and Wales, and even from the most distant parts of the world, joined to an enormous multitude of Dublin citizens, were delighted spectators of what proved to be a soul-stirring spectacle, and a most orderly demonstration. After winding through the principal streets of the city, the public bodies, wearing scarfs, badges, and O'Connell medals proceeded by a number of fine bands and beautiful banners, reached the platform, which was densely crowded. Rosettes of orange and green were very generally worn. The mounted horsemen then sur- rounded the platform as a body-guard, and through their array on arrival, those privileged to ascend it were admitted. Occasional

^ ehowers fell at intervals during the movement of the processionista, It should be impossible to obtain a complete list of names to include I those who were present ; but among the platform occupants were several of the Provincial Mayors and Chairmen of Town Commis- t sioners, Bishops and Clergy, Deputy Lieutenants and Justices of the ^ professional . Peace, gentry and men, &c. The Members of Parlia- i ment who were present besides the Lord Mayor and the High Sheriff, Mr. Edmund Dwyer Gray, were Mr. Charles Stewart Parnell, Mr. John Dillon, Mr. Joseph Biggar, Mr. T. P. O'Connor, Mr. O'Kelly, Mr. Sexton, Mr. Healy, The O'Gorman Mahon, Mr. Leamy, Mr. W. H. O'SuUivan, and Mr. Alexander Storey. A large and handsomely upholstered chair was placed for the Lord Mayor, ^i Eight Hon. Charles Dawson, M.P,, on the platform. Over it waa hung a portrait of O'Connell. Four heraldic shields, having on them the armorial bearings of the provinces of Ulster, Munster, Leinster, and Connaiight, were appropriately disposed in the com- partment. Then the Committee of the O'Connell Monument presented an Address,* after which, in ceremonial form, they delivered over to the Lord Mayor and Corporation of Dublin possession and care of the monument. The Lord Mayor, in a few appropriate remarks, accepted the trust on behalf of the citizens, promising to hold

* The following is the text of the Address : UNVEILING OF THE O'CONNELL MONUMENT, August 15th, 1882. Address of the Committee. "To THE Right Hon. Charles Dawson, M.P., Lord Mayor of Dublin. " My Lord,—We, the members of the O'Connell Monument Committee, hereby deliver over to you, for the Municipality of the city of Dublin, the Monu- ment raised by the Irish people at home and abroad, and by men of other races who love liberty and admire its friends, in honour of Daniel O'Connell, the Libe- rator of his own people from penal chains—the fearless champion of all op- pressed races—the life-long enemy of despotism—the untiring combatant for right. " The project this day brought to such a happy issue has been long matur-

ing to completion ; nigh twenty years have elapsed since the idea first took practical shai)e. Eighteen years have passed away since, amidst a scene of great national rejoicing, the foundation stone of this monument was laid. Of the founders of the good work few survive to share in the joy of its completion. The Lord Mayor in whose year of office the movement was inaugurated —the illustrious Irish Cardinal whose donsecrated hand was raised to bless the vork at the opening ceremonial—the great majority of the prelates who that day stood beside him, most of the eminent citizens who formed the committee, have passed away. Of the two principal actors at the laying of the first stone, the honoured citizen who then held thd office of Lord Mayor is still with us ; but the disciple and fellow -prisoner of O'Connell sleeps near his chief at Glas- nevin. " The Irish people have no responsibility for the delays which took place. They responded to the call made on them with a promptitude and a generosity worthy of themselves and of O'Connell. The long interval that elapsed between the inception and the completion of the work was mainly due to two causes. One was the nature of the work itself. A conception so elaborate is not completed in a day. The other cause is fraught with the saddest recol- lections. In the midst of his labour, in the fulness of his powers, in the zenitb Ixxiii

another and a larger exhibition of Irish industries soon again ; and then, with a quick touch, he withdrew the covering from around the herculean figure of O'Connell. At that instant, the sun sud- denly opened its beams through the drenching rain, and gloriously lighted up the monument and the crowded platform. Then loud and prolonged cheers broke from that vast multitude, which covered O'Connell Bridge and all the adjoining streets. The Lord Mayor afterwards delivered a very eloquent and an appropriate speech, referring to the successful labours of the Com- mittee on that day so happily accomplished. Then followed a review of O'Connell's life and career, in which the speaker dwelt upon those great personal sacrifices he made, his prolonged agitation, and the triumphs he obtained in achieving Catholic Emancipation, his great struggle for the legislative Independence of Ireland, his oppo- sition to the veto, his noble courage, his perseverance under all

of his fame, death snatched away John Henry Foley. He lived long enough, however, to complete the most important part of the monument, and to stamp on the remainder the impress of his radiant genius. Let us add that a most gifted and competent artist for the completion of the work was found in the person of Mr. Brock, who has inherited so much of the genius, the grace, and power of his dead master. " The accompanying report gives some indication of the proceedings of the O'Connell Monument Committee from the date of its formation until to-day. With these details we need not at this moment trouble your lordship. " It is to be regretted, that the monument is not yet absolutely complete. Four winged figures of Victory have yet to be added. "We are happy to say, that two of these are already successfully cast, and that there is every prospect of the whole being in their places before the close of the present year. The Committee considered, that notwithstanding the absence of those figures, which of course takes something from the beauty and completeness of the monument, they should avail themselves of the present auspicious occasion of the opening by your Lordship of our National Exhibition to promote, as O'Connell always laboured to promote, the industries of the country, to ask yon on the same day to unveu the monument erected to his memory by a grateful country. '• Four of Foley's masterpieces now grace the streets of Dublin. The Col- lege gate is sentinelled by the efiigies of its illustrious sons, the great statea- man-orator and the charming poet-romancist. The statue of Grattan looks down on that Senate House which was the theatre of his struggles and his triumphs. We now, my Lord and Gentlemen, hand over to you the greatest work of the artist, in which is commemorated the fame of the greatest of all Irishmen. We now deliver over that statue to you in trust for the people of this city and of this island. Two days of triumph has this spot known. One was at the laying of the foundation stone ; the other is to-day. Let us trust that at no distant date this monument must look down upon a scene of triumph and rejoicing before which the popular pageant of to-day will pale its ineffectual fire. Let us trust that the day is not far distant, when the people will cluster in delighted thousands round tliis monument, and their thundering plaudits will announce that the good old cause for which O'Connell lived and laboured has triumphed at last, and that an Irish Parliament has re-assembled in the Irish capital.

difficulties, alike despising and counteracting the plans of professing friends, and opposing in the political arena the forces and wiles of open foes. Allusion was made also to the other great object, associated with that ceremonial. The opening of the Irish Corporations to Catholics —the work of O'Connell—had enabled them to do what they were doing for Ireland on that day, seeking to revive her industries, and thus laying the foundations of her material prosperity, as also of her future political and national independence. This address was intended to close the proceedings of unveiling the

monument ; but loud and general demands for speeches from Charles Stewart Parnell, and the High Sheriff, obliged both gentlemen to come forward and deliver short addresses, which were voci- ferously applauded. The time had already passed for opening the Irish Industrial Exhibition, within the grounds attached to the

Rotunda ; and the Lord Mayor, with the High Sheriff and civic officers, the Members of Parliament, and other gentlemen, with the general body of visitors, proceeded on foot to the great hall, where a truly national concert of noble Irish music, conducted by Mr; Joseph Robinson, was the great attraction of its commencement. A well trained orchestra, and a chorus of two hundred voices, with the tones of a sweet and powerful organ, seconded the vocalism of renowned Irish singers, who were engaged for the occasion. The building was crowded in every part on that opening day. The O'Connell Monument received the last of its accessions, when on the 21st of May, 1883, the fourth winged figure of Eloquence was lifted into its present position. Soon afterwards H. H. Arm- stead certified to its completion, and authorised by his certificate, Mr. Brock was paid the final instalment of £1,900, making in all £10,500 received by that artist on account. At a Committee meeting held on the 17 th of July, at the Mansion House, the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, Charles Dawson, presiding, the foregoing statement was made by Edmund Dwyer Gray, who stated the balance of the Fund remaining on hands was £506 Is,, from which some unfurnished accounts had to be deducted. The practical duties of the Committee thus ceased, and on motion of Mr. Gray, the Honorary Secretaries were instructed to prepare a Report of Pro- ceedings in relation to the O'Connell Monument. A special meeting of the O'Connell Monument Committee was held on October 3rd of this year, at which it was stated by Edmund Dwyer Gray, that Mr. Brock, through his solicitor, asked for a formal release of the securities he gave for the completion of the work. The trustees were authorised to sign such release and to secure the disposition of the casts. Mr. Moore had enclosed a bill, £6, for ware- housing of the casts in discharge of his claim, and it was ordered to be paid. In a proposition of Mr. M. F. Doherty, of 27 Leyton- square. Park Road, Peckham, London, to warehouse these casts on certain conditions, a Resolution was moved by Mr. J. Tracy,— seconded by Professor Kavanagh, and adopted unanimously : " That Mr. of Peckham, oflfered i Doherty, having to warehouse the models in his Ixxv

own premises, free of charge, provided he was paid the cost of tlie carriage of them from the foundry, his offer be accepted, and he be that authorised to remove the models accordingly ; when they have been removed he be paid £40 for the cost of the removal, the models to remain the property of the Committee, and Mr. Doherty to under- that if the take to preserve them free of cost to the Committee ; Committee should hereafter determine to present them to any public body, the question of payment for their repair or removal shall be

matter of arrangement between such body and Mr. Doherty ; and that, on Mr.Doherty giving the necessary undertaking, Mr. Moore be authorised to deliver the models to him." These terms were agreed to by Mr. Doherty, who took charge of the casts accordingly ; but offers having been made, to present them to any public body in Ire- land applying for them on the conditions stated, it was found that none had offered to take them. However, towards the close of 1884, Sir Edward Lee, of the Battersea Park Exhibition in London —a building which had been erected from the materials of the - former Dublin Exhibition Palace—wrote to Edmund Dwyer Gray on behalf of himself and the Council, and stating, they would be very happy to take the casts, that every care should be taken of them while there, and that they should be exhibited under the most favourable circumstances, at no expense whatever to the O'Connell Committee. To consider the foregoing propositions, a meeting of the Com- mittee—the latest held—was summoned for the 10 th of September, 1884, on which occasion, Edmund Dwyer Gray being chairman, after making the foregoing statement, he moved the following Resolution, which was seconded by J. D. Robinson, and unanimously agreed to : —" That the application of Sir Edward Lee, Managing Director of the Albert Exhibition Palace, London, on behalf of the Council of that Exhibition, to transfer the casts of the O'Connell Monument to that Exhibition in Battersea Park, on the undertaking that every care shall be taken of them, and that they shall be exhibited under the most favourable conditions, at no expense whatever to the O'Connell Monument Committee, be and is hereby complied with, it being understood, that Sir Edward Lee will make all the necessary arrangements with the present custodian of the casts,

Mr. Doherty, without cost to this Committee ; and provided that if hereafter any Irish public body desire with the sanction of this Com- mittee, to acquire the casts for an Irish public object, the Council and the Company of the Albert Exhibition will undertake to permit same to be removed on the condition that the public body requiring the casts shall pay the Exhibition Company the costs out of pocket which that company may have incurred in acquiring same, in accordance with the terms of this Resolution ; and that the honorary secretary be authorised to carry out this arrangement, and if necessary make any modification therein not involving cost to this Committee, the object being to preserve the casts of the Monument for public use in the most eflfectual manner." These terms were Ixxvi accepted by the Council of the Albert Exhibition Palace, and the casts were removed from Mr. Dohert)''s promises to Battersea Park, London. Little more remains to be written. Among the numerous works of art executed by John H. Foley, and which are to be seen erected, not alone in his native city of Dublin, but distantly far in other great cities and towns, the Monument of O'Connell has already stood the test of criticism, while the opinion of competent critics has been an almost unanimous consensus approving its happy design and excellence of finish, in its various details. With a few unimportant modifications, necessitated by his premature death, it still remains the embodiment and form of Foley's imaged outUnes. His whole soul was in the work, and its artistic features even now appear, in ample fulfilment of the promise implied, when he said, "I wish the O'Connell Monument to be regarded as my own monument." But the real judges of his ideal conceptions and their results must be the Irish people themselves. If this work of genius realize their anticipation, and if their pronouncement be in its favour, then shall the labours of the O'Connell Monument Committee have met with their full reward.

REPORT ON FINANCES OF THE O'OONNELL NATIONAL MONUMENT.

The subjoined Statement of Accounts, in reference to the O'Connell National Monument, has been prepared, in pursuance of a resolution proposed by Sir Dominic Corrigan, Bart., one of the Trustees, and seconded by the Rev. John O'Hanlon, one of the Honorary Secretaries, at a Committee Meeting of February 23rd, 1875, held in the Mansion House, the Right Hon. Peter Paul M'Swiney,

: Lord Mayor, in the chair ]

" That a Balance Sheet be prepared, showing moneys paid into bank in the name of the Trustees, including payments of interest to the present time,, as well as expenditure, with dates : that such Balance Sheet be prepared by a public Auditor, to whom the accompanying documents shall be furnished, and submitted, as soon as completed, to a Meeting of the O'Connell Committee for publication."

This resolution, passed unanimously, was followed by one authorizing the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor to appoint an Auditor. His Lordship nominated Messrs. Craig and Gardner, Public Accountants, Trinity Chambers, Dame Street, Dublin. These gentlemen, accordingly, after due investigation, furnished the following Abstract of Accounts, ranging from the 27th of December, 1862, to the 21st of October, 1875. The undersigned Hon. Sec. was instructed, at the last Committee Meeting, December 3rd, to procure the Auditors' account, as complete as possible, to have it printed, and ready for circulation among the members of the O'Connell Committee, at a Meeting to be convened at three ]-r o'clock on Friday, December 17th. The present short report may serve to render it more explicit. The Trustees of this fund were originally Sir John Gray, Charles Bianconi, D.L., Alderman John Reynolds, Sir Dominic Corrigan, Bart., and Deals Moylan, Collector-General. The two latter gentlemen are now the only survivors. As will be seen by the subjoined Abstract, the funds and investments have been carefully lodged, and disbursements have been made, for necessaiy expenses sanctioned by the Committee. The Hon. Secretaries, originally appointed, at the formation of the Com- mittee, October 13th, 1862, in the Prince of Wales' Hotel, Dublin, were Sir John Gray, John B. Dillon, John Reilly, and Rev. John O'Hanlon. Soon afterwards, W. J. Henry was duly appointed Hon. Secreta^ ; Martin Crean was

duly appointed at a Committ^ Meeting, 17th of A^y, 1865 ; and later, December 9th, 1874, William L. Hackett was duly appointed Hon. Sec. Among the foregoing, only the latter five were acting Secretaries at Committee Meetings. Our Minute, Record and Account Books contain very complete entries for the conipilation of a full and detailed Report, which here must necessarily be abbreviated. To confine our attention to the Financial Department, at present, it will be sufficient to state, that several audits of Accounts by the finance Committee took place, at various periods, since the conunencement of our work. Thus, the late Sir John Gray's Account was audited on the 26th of January, 1863, when it was found, that a sum of £4,756 17s. 9d. had been lodged by him in the National Bank, hiis book of receipts being compared with the bank book. ;

148

The Rev. John O'Hanlon's Account for the St. Patrick's Day Collection, 1864, was audited on the 6tb of April, 18C4, with vouchers for all items, and found to be correct. Another audit of W. J. Henry and Eev. John O'Hanlon's Accounts took place 17th of February, 1869, and it was found to be correct. The small sums disbursed by Mr. John Beilly, Hon. Sec, were on account of the grand ceremonial of laying the corner-stone, on the 8th of August, 1864. Mr. Martin Crean, then kindly acting as Assistant Secretary, gratuitously rendered the most efficient services to the Committee, by receiving cheques, and by admin* istering affairs with the most careful regard to economy. He superintended, and I have no doubt whatever, he procured vouchers for all important items of expenditure, at that time, and suosequently, as directed by the Committee. The lamented death of Mr. Crean, on the 3rd of December, 1867, deprived us of a most upright, an able, and a painstaking fellow-secretary. His labours in that capacity were onerous, and yet always cheerfully rendered. Soon after his death, the undersigned applied to his widow, Mrs. Crean, for his paperBj;4ccounts and vouchers, in connection with the O'Connell National Monument.'^ All thab could be found by her, and returned, are still in possession of the undersigned. The missing accounts, marked with an asteri8k,(*) cannot be recovered in detail yet, sufficient evidence could be procured from our books and papers, that no material loss can have been sustained by the Committee, for many, and 1 believe all—with two exceptions—of the accounts as furnished have been paid. These Nolan's bill for yet unpaid are Messrs. Browne and stationery, &c., £9 19s. 9d. ; and Miss Dowling's bill, £2 9s., for rosettes, ordered for Members of the Com* mittee taking part in the ceremonial of laying the foundation-stone, in 1864.

Mr. William Lewis Hackett received no cheque for his use as Hon. Sec. ; and, since John H. Foley got the order for the O'Connell Monument, 13th December, 1867, the only sum ordered, to the knowledge of the undersigned, for working expenses of the Committee, was £39, as shown by the Minute Book of date, November 5th, 1874. With the accompanying Balance Sheet, this amount is not included. For audit by Messrs Craig and Gardner, no account has yet been furnished ; and the expense of printing 200 copies of this Report has yet to be defrayed. From the commencement to the present date, no paid Secretary has been employed by the Hon. Secretaries ; but, occasionally, they were obliged to engage, for stated and temporary occasioi^s, the services of a few clerks or scriveners. Even the Hon. Secretaries have not charged to the Committee many small items of expense for stationery, postage, &c., incurred by them. All the foregoing statements can be duly certified, and are now submitted.

As it is of the utmost importance, that that Meeting be largely and influentially attended, we request the favour of your punctual attendance. '' We are, dear Sir, Your obedient Servants, ^ John Beilly. "i J. Heney William [ Hon Stc9. John Hanlon, C.C.,r E. DwYER Gray. i

CASE

ON BEHAU OF THE .' O'CONNELL MONUMENT COMMITTEE,

Submitted to the Right Hon. Hugh Law, Q.C, and Mr. Jofin B. Murphy, Q.G., by Messrs. D.

This Case is submitted to you, on behalf of the Members of the " O'Coimell Monument Committee " and " the Trustees," with a view to obtaining your opinion on the liabilities (if any), which they may have contracted to the late Mr. J. H. Foley, R.A., or his representatives, for the purchase of the Monu- ment, and of their rights in reference to obtaining delivery thereof ; also, to obtain your opinion, on the power of the Committee to appoint new Trustees to the fund collected for the purpose of erecting such Monument. Counsel is aware that, about the year 1862, a movement was instituted by the late Sir John Gray, through the Freeman's Journal, for the purpose of erecting a National Monument to O'Connell ; and, on subscriptions to a considerable amount being realized, a conference was held at the Frince of Wales

Hotel, Dublin, on October 13th, 1862 ; a Committee formed, consisting of ex- officio and other members, with power to add to theif number, and trustees were appointed. Counsel is referred to the proceedings of the conferraioe, given at length in the minute book of the Committee of Febmary 26th, 1863. The General Committee held regular meetings up to 27th August, 1866 ; bat it is unnecessary to refer to their proceedings further, than mey are alluded to in Part 2 of this case. On the 27th August, 1866, tiie following resolation wa« passed, at a full meeting of the General Committee : " That a Committee, — — — ;;

156 eonsisting of the following gentlemen be hereby appointed to select a snitable design for the O'Connell Monument, and that the said Committee shall have full power to decide finally upon the design, and to entrust the execution thereof to such person as their judgment shall approve of, viz. : The Bight Hon. Maziere Brady, Alderman John Reynolds, J.r. ; Sir Dominic Corrigan, Bart. ; Sir John Gray, T.C. ; Rev. John O'Rorke, CO. ; Very Rev. Canon Pope, John Keegan, Alderman Joynt, Very Rev. Dr. Spratt, Charles Bianconi. D.L. ;" John F. Frazer, John Martin, Kilbroney ; Alderman Dillon, M.P. and the General Committee then adjourned sine die. At a meeting of this Sub-Committee, held on the 13th December, 1867> Mr. Foley submitted the description of his design which was read. The following is an extract from the Minutes : Special Comhittee, Friday, 13th December, 1867. Present : Sir Dominic Corrigan, in the chair. The Lord Mayor (Alderman Alderman L. Reynolds. Joynt). Alderman Plunket. Right Hon. Maziere Brady. Wm. J. Henry, Esq. Sir John Gray. Charles Bianconi, Esq., D.L. Alderman John Reynolds. Thomas Arkins, Esq. Rev. Mr. O'Hanlon. Very Rev. Dr. Spratt, D.D. Mr. Foley attended the Committee. Mr. Foley handed in the following description of his design, which was read by the Chairman, viz. : " The design is intended to record the gratitude of the Trish people for the blessings of civil and religions liberty, obtained for their native land by the labours of the illustrious O'Connell, triumphal in character ; it comprises three principal parts, all tending to the expression of a common purpose, viz.: " Istly—The personal representation of the Liberator. " 2ndly—The great theme of his labours. *'3rdly—The qualities of mind and power exemplified in the career of O'Connell, by the four winged victories of Patriotism, Fidelity, Courage, amd Eloquence. j^ ' ' Victory by Patriotism, bears a sword and shield, as prepared to defend her native land. " Victory by Fidelity, has seated at her side an Irish Wolf Dog, and bears in her hand the compass, denoting that she is true to her cause, ' as the needle faithful to the pole.' "Victory by Courage, is represented as strangling a serpent, her left hand resting on the fasces, symbolizing Power by Unity. "Victory by Eloquence, as appealing to reason and judgment on the theme she holds in her hand. " At the angles of the base are placed pedestals supporting the four figures above-named, decorated with wreaths of shamrock ana laurel ; between these rise a sub-structure, the plan of which is of the form of an ancient Irish cross, laid horizontally. In the divisions of the circle are inserted shields bearing the arms of the Four Provinces, above this sub-structure rises the pedestal encircled by figures, representing all classes from the peer to the peasant, as hastening from every part of the sea-girt isle (typified by the wave pattern surrounding the plinth), to hear proclaimed their newly attained civil and religious liberty. " In the front, her hair wreathed with shamrock, her harp beside her, and the chains which hitherto bound her lying broken at her feet, stands the fi^re of Erin ; in her left hand, she holds a record of his achievements, whilst with her right she points upwards to O'Connell, as her champion and deliverer to the right is a group of ecclesiastics, the principal of whom, a bishop, is directing the attention of some students to the record. Immediately following are the poet and historian, the artist, and the musician with score in hand— — — ;

167

< Oh ! Where's the slave so lowly ;' next appears the artizan, succeeded by the soldier and sailor ; to the left, a croup of peasants eagerly press forward to obtain a sight of the charter of their liberties ; next, an representing trade, commerce, and municipal authority, follows the Lord Mayor. Law, Justice Philosophy and Science find their exponents in appropriate tigures. Completing the circle stand the peer and statesman engaged in earnest converse ; numerous other figures appear in the back ground. "The cap of the pedestal is encircled by a wreath of shamrocks, leaf and flower alternately ; crowning the composition is the figure of O'Oounell, whom it is proposed to represent, habited in the cloak by which he was so well known in his right hand he holds a roll of i)apers, the left resting in the breast of his buttoned frock coat. The figures and sUeld will be executed in bronze the architecture in the most appropriate and lasting stone to be obtained from Lrish quarries. "J. H. Foley."

Mr. Foley also submitted two figures of O'Connell for summit of pedestal. The Committee having given both much consideration, it was put from the chair and unanimously resolved " That the figure draped with a cloak be selected." Mr. Foley informed the Committee, the work, if carried out according to the design, woiUd cost about £12,500, being £2,500 above the sum of £10,000 now available. Also, that the model is made to a scale of 2^ inches to the foot, which would represent a total height of 41 feet 6 inches, including the figure, which is 12 feet high, and: that if a small size of the design were selected the cost would be reduced.

Moved by the Bight Hon. Maziebb Brady ; , Seconded by Charles Blanconi, Esq., D.L.— " That Mr. Foley's design be approved on the condition agreed to by Mr, Foley, viz. : " The Monument to be executed and erected complete in accordance with the design of the full size, and Mr. Foley to accept the sum now invested— namely, £10,169 19s. 9d. New Three per Cent. Stock, with its accumulations as and for £12,500, the sum of £2,000 to be at once transferred to Mr. Foley, and the remainder to remain invested ; the interest to be half-yearly drawn and re-invested with a declaration of trust on behalf of the present trustees ; the total sum so invested, at the period of completion, to be handed over to Mr. Foley on the full completion and erection of the Monument." Carried unanimously. Denis MoYLin, Chairman, No written contract was made, but Mr. Foley accepted these terms. From the minutes of the Committee, nothing further appears to have been done, until the 8th of April, 1870, when Mr. Foley applied for the £2,000 due under the terms of his arrangement, and Stock was sold out sufficient to realize that sum, which was paid, and a copy of the Committee's resolution, expressing dissatisfaction at the delay which had taken place, was forwarded to him. On 8th August, 1871, Mr. Foley attended the Committee. The minutes merely record, that " he explained to the Committee the progress he had made with the work," but he seems to have then given a verbal undertaking, that the Monument should be completed in three years, as would appear by the minutes of the meeting of the Committee of the 24:th of August, 1874, at which a resolution was passed, calling his attention " to the promises made by him to the Committee of the 9th August, 1871, when, in reply to a question of a member of the Committee, he stated, that the Monument should be completed in three years from that date." A copy of this resolution was forwarded Mr. Foley, but he died before its receipt, and Mr. Tenniswood, his friend, and one of the executors, in acknowledging same on the 29th, stated, that it should be laid before his executors. —

158

Mr. Foley's will bears date 27th Auf^ast, 1874. Probate was granted on the '23rd November, 1875, to George Francis Tenniswood, one of the executors named in the will, the others having renoanoed. The Committee on the 6th October, 1874, wrote to Mr. Tenniswood inc^niring the then state of the Monument, to which he replied, that their communication would be laid before Mr. Foley's representatives at their next meeting. On the 2nd November, 1874, Mr. Tenniswood wrote to the Committee, stating that the model for the Monument was progressing steadily, and that Mr. Foley having made provision in his will for the execution of unfinished commissions (which would be acted on as soon as Probate was granted), he hoped to see it accomplished almost immediately, which letter was submitted to the Committee on the 5th November. They appointed a Sub-Committee, consisting of the late Sir John Gray and the Rev. hn O'Rorke, to inspect the condition of the model, and their report was submitted to the full committee on the 11th November, in which they stated, that Mr. Tenniswood had informed them, he intended to act towards the Committee, " the part which he knew his friend would have acted had he lived, but that he had not the fullpower of an executor."* On the 9th December, 1874, the Cfommittee wrote to Mr. Tenniswood asking him had Probate been taken out, to which he replied on the Ilth, stating that he did not expect to obtain it for some weeks. At the Committee Meebing, on the 16th !^bruary, a letter of Mr. Tenniswood, dated the 8th, was read, in which he stated, that measures in connection with the Probate being nearly completed, he would be glad to receive instructions for proceeding with the work, as since the visit of the Sub-Committee, he had not received any com-

munication with reference to their views ; in reply to which a copy of their report was forwarded to him, with an expression of the gratification felt by the Committee, on learning that Probate should soon be obtained. On the l^Sth February, 1875, Mr. Tenniswood wrote to the Committee, stating, that the two other executors having renounced, he would become sole acting executor ; and on the receipt of grant of Probate, Messrs. Brook, Dewick and Birch would complete the Monument, which letter the Committee read as an intimation that the Grant had been obtiained, and thereupon passed the resolution set out in margin, which impression he corrected by letter of 19th March, in which he stated, that on receipt of Probate he would communicate farther with the Committee, who thereupon adjourned awaiting this «vent. On the 4th September, 1875, he wrote, stating that Probate could not be obtained until November ; but that he could not be held responsible for the delay, as an authority to complete the model had never been forwarded to him.t On the 30th November, 1875, Mr. Tenniswood wrote, stating that he was in " possession of the grant of Probate. At this time, the well known " Cloak controversy was pending; but at the meeting held on December 3rd, a resolution was passed, in reply to Mr. Tenniswood's letter, and transmitted to him as follows :— Resolution of 3bd Dbcember, 1875.

Mr. EcMOND DwYER Gray moved the following resolution : " That Mr. Teniuswood (being now the legal representative of the late Air. Foley), be instructed to proceed forthwith with the O'Connell Monument according to the design unanimously adopted by the Committee on the I3th December, 1867." Gaffney, | Seconded by the Rev. James C.C, and passed. I

* See copy of will. i EetoltUion of 16th March, 1876.- -Moved by Sir Dominic Corrig^an, seconded by Uiohael Huiphy, T.C.—" That Mr. Tenniswood, in his letter dated 19th March, ult., having informed the Committee that letters probate of the will of the late Mr. Foley hare been taken out, and that he Mr. Tenniswood is the sole acting legal representatire of that artist, that the Hon. Secretary requests Mr. Tenniswood to inform the Committee of the date when the O'ConaeU Monument, as designed by the late Mr. Foley, will be completed." —

159

On the meeting of the Committee on the 17th December, notice to rescind this resolution was given, a copy of the minute of the proceedings beinc; sent Mr. Tenniswood, and then ensued the controversy above referred to, whicn was not terminated until the 28th January, 1876 ; but on the 28th December, 1875, the foregoing resolution was passed, and forwarded to Mr. Tenniswood, and this was the last he received on the subject, " That the Honorary Secretaries be directed to communicate to Mr. Tenniswood, that the Committee has finally confirmed the resolution adopting the draped figure of the O'Connell Statue." On the 17th February, 1876, the Committee wrote to Mr. Tenniswood, reminding him of the great delay that had taken place, and stating, that as the contract with Mr. Foley terminated with his death, the Committee wished now to have a clear understanding with Mr. Tenniswood, as to the time within which the Monument should be perfected, to which he replied on the 27th February, 1876, stating, that he would require payment Iw instalments as the

work proceeded ; that he was aware the contract with Mr. Foley terminated

witii his death ; and that he thought from three to four years should suffice for the completion of the work. On the 2nd March, 1876, the Committee wrote, that on certain conditions, they would not object to the payment by instalments for the Monument, and that the Ist July, 1879, ought to be the latest date for its execution ; further, that some security should be given for the due performance of same.* ' On the 3rd August, 1876, a resolution was passed, complaining of the delay, and also of the new terms which Mr. Tenniswood sought to impose, and which was duly sent him. On the 15th August, 1876, he wrote, attributing the delay to want of instructions, and referring to his letter of the 2l8t February, 1876.t Then ensued a correspondence with Mr. Gray, one of the honorary secretaries to the Committee, as to the responsibility for the delay, and the proposed variation of the contract terms, which finally terminated bv Mr. Tenniswood stating, that in consequence of some Chancery proceedings (of whose nature or probable termination he gave no information) no arrangement for the resumption of the work could be entered into, and that had the Committee chosen to instruct him to proceed on the death of Mr. Foley, he entertained no doubt the work should have been nearly completed at the date of his letter.J The Committee are informed, that there is danger of the clay model becoming deteriorated by further delay. If they could obtain possession of it, the work might be finished by some independent sculptor. As counsel is already aware, they paid Mr. Foley £2,000 on account in the year 1870, for which they will receive no value whatever, unless possession of the Monument can be enforced, or that Mr. Foley's representatives are compelled to refund this sum or finish the work. On the other hand, if the execution of the Monument be entrusted to some independent sculptor, it is apprehended, that Mr. Tenniswood may at some future period complete the Monument and endeavour to hold the surviving trustees, of the fund, Sir D. Corrigan, and Mr. Denis Moylan, I).L., liable

to make good the amount. i

Counsel will therefore please advise on this branch of the case :

1st. Did the contract with Mr. Foley terminate with his death ? 2ndly, If the contract has so terminated, are the Committee entitled to obtain delivery of the model, and on what terms as to payment for part performanoe of the work, etc. ? Srdly, If the Committee or Trustees enter into another contract with another sculptor, how can they best guard against personal liability, anid at the same time keep the fund secure for the artist ? t- (

* See oopjr correspondence commencing 17th February, 1876, and terminating 18th Mardi, 1876, contamed in report of Sub-Committee. t Note.—This must refer to his letter of 27tb February, 1876, as Hr. Gray cannot find way letter of former date. t See correspondence between Messrs. Gray and Tenniswood, commencing 11th July, 1870, and ending I8th October, 1876. —

1«0

4thly, If you are of opinion that the contract did not terminate with the death of Mr. Foley, then, has the treaty or subsequent correspondence which took place with Mr. Tenniswood terminated the contract ? fithly, In the event of your being of opinion that the contract with Mr. Foley IB still in force, bearing in mind that he was to receive the accumulated interest on the fund, you will please advise, w^ho will be entitled to the accumulationa from the date of Mr. Foley's death to the resumption of the work !

OPINION. «'The contract was, in our opinion, rescinded by Mr. Foley's death before completion of the work. It was one requiring the exercise of the artist's personal skill, and by his death had become impossible of perfor-

mance. > " The Committee cannot insist on the delivery of the model—Mr. Foley did nothing to vest it in them, and seems to hjave retained his property in it till his death. ' " On the other hand, the £2,000 advanced to Mr. Foley by the Trustees is now repayable by his executor out of his aspets, the consideration of the money having wholly failed. ' " Being of the opiuion above expressed, we think Mr. Foley's representatives cannot maintain any claim to the trust fund as against the Com- mittee or Trustees. ]i ^ "H. LA.W. "JOHN B. MURPHY. 2nd Feb., 1877."

PAET II. OF CASE.

With reference to the other points on which the Committee seek your advice, viz., the power from time to time to change or increase the trustees of the fund, or to apply same for such purposes as they may consider incidental and necessary to carry into effect the objects for which they were formed, the facts are set fortb in the following report of the honorary secretaries, submitted to the Committee on January 14th, 1876 :

*' To THE Chairman akd Members of thb O'Connell Monuhsnt Committee. " Gentlemen, ' ' In obedience to your instructions, that the honorary secretaries be requested to report to you the names of the original trustees of the fund and the present condition of the trust, and to report as to the exact terms of the contract with Mr, Foley, we beg leave to report, we find by the records that on the 13th of October, 1862, at a meeting held in the Prince of Wales Hotel, after the appointment of a Committee, with power to add to their niim- bers, the following gentlemen were, on the motion of Mr. A. M. Sullivan, seconded by Mr. Conroy, J.P., Sligo, appointed trustees to the funds of the O'Connell National Statue, viz. : —The Lord Mayor (Alderman Moylan) ; John

B. Dillon, barrister ; Charles Bianconi, D.L. ; Dr. Corrigan ; Richard Kelly, J.P.,

Sackville-street ; Alderman Campbell ; John F. Maguire, M.P., Mayor of Cork ; William Lane Joynt, Mayor of Limerick ; William L. Hackett, Mayor of Clonmel ; Thomas Meagher, Mayor of Waterford ; and Dr. Gray. At a subsequent meeting, held in the Mansion House on the 18th of October, 1862, on motion of Dr. Gray, Alderman John Reynolds, J.P., was added to the list , the

f of Trustees. We further find, that the first investment of Stock was made i upon the 23rd of December, 1862, of £3,000, but the minutes do not disclose of the Trustees entered in the Bank books, nor is there any reason ; the names recorded for limiting the number to five, but from recollection we beg to report ' that five were named, because the Bank officials refused to take any greater number of names ; and although we cannot speak with any certainty of the — — ,

161 '

reason for selecting those names that were given in, we presume it was done on the ground of convenience. We have with much regret to report that of the many gentlemen named as Trustees, but four of them survive, viz. Alderman Moylan, Sir Dominic Corrigan, Alderman Campbell, and Mr. Wil- liam Lane Joynt. " With respect to the terms of the contract with Mr. Foley, we have to report, that there is no record of any contract deed having been executed, but your minutes contain a copy of Mr. Foley's description of the Monument, written by his own hand, and we extract from the minutes of the 13th Octo- ber, 1867, the annexed, which having been communicated to Mr. Foley, without any dissent on his part, and having accepted the £2,000 mentioned, we consider an equitable contract to exist. All which we submit as our report this 14th (fay of January, 1876. " W. J. Hekey, Hon. Sec"

Extract alluded to :

*' Mr. Foley informed the Committee, that the work if carried out according to the design should cost about £12,500, being £2,50i) above the sum of £10,000 now availa ble. Also, that the model was made to a scale 2| inches to the foot, which would represent a total height of 41 feet 6 inches, including the figure, which is 12 feet high, aud that if a smaller size of the design were selected the cost would be reduced.''

Moved by the Right Hon. Maziere Brady, seconded by Charles Bianconi, D.L. :— " That Mr. Foley's design be approved, on the condition agreed to by Mr. Foley, viz., the Monument to be executed and erected complete, in accordance with the design of the full size, and Mr. Foley to accept the sum now invested, namely, £10,1G9 19*. 9rf., New Three per Cent. Stock with its accumulations, as and for £12,500, the sum of £2,000 to be at once transferred to Mr. Foley and the remainder to remain invested, the Interest to be half-yearly drawn and reinvested, with a declaration of trust on behalf of the present trustees, the total sum so invested at the period of completion to be handed over to Mr. Foley, ou the full completion and erection of the Monument." Carried unanimously.

On receipt of the foregoing report, the following resolution was passed, but no action was taken by the Trustees upon it : "That the report now read by the Hon. Secretary be received, adopted, aud entered on the minutes, and it appearing from said report, and from the records and minutes of the Conunittee, that twelve Trustees were originally app ointed and that of these the four following alone survive, viz. :—Sir Dominic (Jorrigan, Bart., Messrs. Denis Moylan, William Lane Joynt, and John Campbell, Alderman. "It further appearing, that of the five names originally placed in the Bank Accoimt, two only, viz.. Sir Dominic Corrigan and Denis Moylan, Esq., are now surviving.

Resolved—" That Messrs. Joynt and Campbell be requested to allow their names as Trustees to be added to those of Sir Dominic Corrigan and Mr. Moylan, in the Stock Account, and that on their consent being obtained. Sir Dominic Corrigan and Mr. Moylan be requested to jom in a transfer of the Stock to the names of Messrs. Joynt and Campbell, jointly with their own."

Alderman Campbell and Mr. William Lane Joynt are the only survivors of the original twelve trustees. Sir D. Corrigan has expressed a wish to retire from the trust, but at the same time a doubt exists as to the power of the Committee to nomi-iate new trustees, or in whom such power is vested. Alderman Campbell will not act, Mr. W. L. Joynt is willing to do so. On the 11th February, 1876, the following resolution was passed, but the trustees have not acted upon it. 162

Resolution op 11th Januauy, 1876.

" That this Committee is of opinion, that the name of Mr. William Lane Joynt—he so consenting— should be added to the Stock Account in the Bank, and that the Hon. Secretaries be requested to communicate with Sir Dominic Corrisan and Mr. Moylan, and request them to state, if they have any objection to join in a transfer of the Stock to the name of Mr. Joynt, jointly with their own." Moved by Mr. Oernon, seconded by Mr. Tract, and passed unanimously. The accompanying correspondence has taken place on the subject, between the Honorary Secreteries and the Trustees.* The Committee and the Trustees concur in considering, that it should be expedient to increase the number of acting Trustees to that originally agreed on, viz., five, and they wish to be advised on their power to do so, as also to supply the vacancies which may from time to time arise. 1. Have the Committee power by resolution to appoint such trustees as they may think fit, or is their right of selection limited to the survivors of the twelve originally nominated ? If they have not, in whom is the power to create new trustees vested ? 2. Have the tnistees power at the request of the Committee to apply from time to time any, and if so, what portion of the funds as may be deemed necessary, for purposes incidental to the working of the Committee ? 3. Counsel will please give the Committee and Trustees the benefit of their opinion on the foregoing queries, and also such general advice for their guidance in this matter as they may consider necessary.

OPINION.

1. "The General Meeting or Conference of October, 1862, appears to have itself appointed the Trustees as well as the Committee, but to have made no provision for the appointment of new Trustees. Under these circumstances, we are of opinion that the Committee has not power by reduction or otherwise now to appoint new Trustees. These must be appointed— if at all—by the Court of Chancery. We are, however, clearly of opinion, that Sir Dominic Corrigan and Mr. Moylan may safely transfer the trust funds into the names of Alderman Campbell and William Lane Joynt, the two other surviving original Trustees, jointly with their own, if these gentlemen will consent to act, and we farther think, that Sir Dominic Corrigan and Mr. Moylan ought with that consent to make such transfer. 2. " We think the Trustees have power, at the request of the Com- mittee, to apply from time to time such sums out of the trust funds, as may be required for defraying the expenses necessarily incidental to the working of the Committee. 3. " If, as appears to be the case, the last meeting of the Committee was adjourned sine die, the members should get due notice of the next meeting, and this being so convened and held, it will be prudent to have it adjourned from time to time to Jixed days, until its objects are fully carried out. Any new contract for the completion of the Monu- ment must, of course, be made between the Committee and the artist

selected for the work ; but, it will probably be found convenient for the general body to delegate by resolution to a Sub-Committee, consisting of a few members, the power of entering into the necessary negociations for an agreement as to the execution of the work, subject to their approval, when they have reached a point at which nothing further

remains but for the contract to be formally approved and adopted ; this should be done by the General Committee at a meeting duly announced

for the purpose, who should pass a resolution adcptiag the contract, and authorizing some of their bodv, as, for instance, their Ohairmin and Secretary, to sign it on their behalf. " It will be prudent, also, to have this contract so framed, as to bind the artist to look for payment to the trust fund, and exempt those who sign and other members of Committee from personal liability.

REPORT OF SUB-COMMITTEE,

• Containing the Coirespondence between Mr. Tenniswood and the Rev. Mr. O'lJaiilon, referred to in the Cobt.

The Sub-Committee, which at the meeting of the General Committee, on Friday, the ilth February, 1876, was, on the motion of the Rev. James Daniel, C.C., seconded by Mr. Sherwood, appointed to consider a report on " the present state of the contract between the Committee, and Mr. Tenniswood," has the

honour to report as follows :

" The Sub-Committee held its first meeting on Tuesday, the 15th February, and being fully alive to the importance of exercising great care and caution in a matter of so much moment as to the future arrangements to be entered into with Mr. Tenniswood, they requested the Hon. Secretaries to place before them all the minutes, resolutions, and other documents likely to throw light on the entire contract with the late Mr. Foley, and with those before them, and, after long and anxious deliberation, they unanimously agreed to forward to Mr, Tenniswood the letter No. I. in the correspondence which forms the schedule or appendix to this report. That letter bears date the 17th February, 1876. To that communication, a reply was received from Mr. Tenniswood, dated February 21st, and marked Ko.II. In reference to these two communications, your Sub- committee considers it of the utmost importance to call attention to the fact that, while their letter to Mr. Tenniswood sets out by stating that ' the contract originally entered into between the Committee and Mr. Foley terminated with

his lamented death ; and that the Committee was advised that if disposed ta Btand upon their strict legal rights they could have insisted on payment to them of the full sum of ^£2,000, advanced to Mr. Foley in 1870.'—Mr. Tenniswood fairly, frankly, and fully admits the complete accuracy of the position taken by

' the Committee, as he says : I am aware that the contract with Mr. Foley for his commission, legally terminated with his decease.' " The Sub-Committee thinks it necessary thus to call the special attention of the Committee to their statement, and the admission of its accuracy by Mr. Tenniswood, because, in their opinion, they form the key and hinge of the entire case. " On Tuesday, the 22nd February, the Sub-Committee held its second meeting, for the purpose of considering the contents of Mr. Tenniswood's letter, and having agreed on the nature of the reply to be sent, they met again on the 29th, February, for the purpose of discussing- the draft letter then laid before them. Having anxiously gone over that draft, paragraph by paragraph, they directed the Hon. Secretary to forward it to Mr. Tenniswood. That letter forms No. III. in the correspondence. The Sub-Committee very confidently submits that letter to the judgment of the Committee, the subscribers, and the country, as one which, while making fair concessions to Mr. Tenniswood, at the same time cays down terms and conditions sufficiently careful and stringent to protect the Committee, and above all, to protect the trustees of the fund. The Sub-Com- mittee greatly regrets, not being in a position to lay before the Committee the final reply to their important communication of the 2nd March, but from the letters since received from him, (and which will be found in their order in the Appendix,) it is obvious, that he is hampered by new legal difficulties aid embarrassments, the nature of which has not been submitted to them, but which they have every reason to believe will be but transient and temiwrary. The

K 165

Sub-Committee is of opinion, however, that it would be unfair to the Com- mittee and to the country any longer to withhold the correspondence which has passed; besides, as on this day a dividend becomes due on the Stock which will be payable to-morrow, the Sub-Committee has thought It imperatively necessary to convene this meeting of the Committee, in order that they may pass a resolution requiring the Trustees not to draw the present April dividen

CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN REV. MR. O'HANLON & MR. TENNISWOOD. "Dublin, Chukch of SS. Michael axd John, ' " February VJth, 1876. "Dear Sir, " It having been at length finally and definitely decided, that the draped figure of O'Connell is to surmount the pedestal, we have been directed by the Committee to convey to you their opinion, that the time has arrived for having a clear and distinct understanding with you, as the executor of Mr. Foley, in reference to the future progress and final completion of the Monument. " In a word, the Com^llttee thinks, that the basis of their new contract or arrangement with you should now be clearly laid down, so that the work of completing the Monument may be proceeded with without any further delay. There is no doubt, that the contract originally entered into between the Com- mittee and Mr. Foley terminated with his lamented death, and the Committee is advised, that if disposed to stand upon their strict legal rights, they could have insisted on the repayment to them of the sum of £2,000 advanced to Mr. Foley, in 1870. The Committee, however, have no desire, and as you yourself will, we are sure freely admit, have evinced no disposition to stand upon tech- nicalities, or to deal with you in any other but in a fair, friendly and liberal spirit. There is however one portion, and as it appears to the Committee, a very important portion of the original contract with Mr. Foley, to which they would wish to direct your special attention. They refer to that portion of it, in which they entered into an undertaking or engagement with Mr. Foley, to re-invest the dividends on the Government Stock standing in the names of the Trustees of the fund for him, until the amount of Stock, with its accumulated dividends, should reach £12,500, that being the sum which the Monument, when completed and erected, was estimated by Mr. Foley to cost. There was, however, on the other hand, an engagement entered into by Mr. Foley, that in the event of the Monument being completed and erected before the sum had reached £12,500, he would in that case be content to accept the original sum, with its then accumulatioas, as and for the sum of £12,500. As the rest of the contract with Mr. Foley terminated with his death, so there is no doubt that the engagement or undertaking on the part of the Committee to re-ia vest the dividends, came to an end with it, and this being so, the Committee thinks that the time has come, when a very clear and precise understanding should be arrived at with you, as to the amount to be paid to you, for the monument when completed And erected. " As we have already stated, a sum of £2,000 was paid in advance to Mr. Foley in 1870. To produce that sum, £2,174 I63. was sold out of Government Stock ; had that sum remained invested, its annual interest of upwards of £60, reinvested, for six years, would have increased the amount of Stock now available by about £400. But apart altogether from that sum, it appears by the account of the trustees which has been receatly audited by public accountants in this «ity, that Stock to the amount of £10,631 19i. 2d. is now standing in the names of the trustees. "It was quite open to the trustees to have discontinued investing the

^«- 166 '

dividends from the death of Mr. Foley ; but they did not do bo. They now however wish it to be distinctly understood, that henceforward they will cease to re-invest the dividend for your benefit, as executor of Mr. Foley, and that it is their intention to apply the present and future accruing dividends to a new and separate account in connection with the Monument. " The sum therefore applicable to the payment for the full completion and erection of the Monument, will be the amount now standing to the credit of

the trustees : viz. :—£10,631 19s. 2d. Stock, plus the £2,000 paid to Mr. Foley in cash in 1870. " As regards the Monument itself, havinc regard to the many years which have elapsed since it was first taken in hands, and to the advanced stage which it had reached at the time of Mr. Foley's death, the Committee thinks it will be only fair, to place you under terms as to time, and to exact from you an engagement, that the Monument shall be completed, and placed in »itu within a reasonable time to be agreed on. " Into the original agreement with Mr. Foley, the element of time was not

introduced, and the Committee regard that as a very grave omission ; be that however as it may, there is a natural anxiety, growing perhaps into a feeling of impatience, on the part of the subscribers and of the country, to see the Monument of their illustrious countryman, and the noblest work of Mr. Foley's life, placed without much further delay in the position, which has been for so many years reserved for it in the leading thoroughfare of their city. "We are, therefore, directed by the Committee, to express their hope that you will be good enough to apply yourself to the consideration of the contents of this letter, and that you will favour them with a reply on all the matters veith which it has dealt, at your earliest convenience. "We may state, that the Com- mittee will hold its next meeting on Tuesday, the 22nd inst., and that it will be a matter of very great convenience, if you will enable us to place your letter before them on that day. "We are, dear Sir, yours faithfully, "John O'Hanlon, For the Hon. Sees. "George F. Tenniswood, Esq., " 10 Osnaburgh Street, Regent's Park, London."

" 10 OSNABCBGH STREET, ReGENT's PaBK, " LOKDON, N.W., • 2Ut February, 1876. " Rev. and Dear Sir, " I am in receipt of your letter of the 17th inst., relative to the completion of the O'Connell Monument left unfinished by the lamented death of Mr. J. H. Foley, R.A., and would beg to assure your Committee of my sense of the honour done me by their confidence, in thus instituting arrangements by which the final execution of this most important work of its author's life should be placed in my hands. •'I am aware the contract with Mr. Foley for this commifision legally terminated with his decease, but the world would have learnt vnth surprise, that his native city had consented to abandon the completion of this crowning work of his career, and on which, more than all else he had accompliehed, he sought to rest his hope of future fame. '• In reference to the sum now proposed by your Committee in payment for the completed work, having regard to the seriously increased cost of all kinds of labour and material since the date of the original commission, I read with much concern the proposal to fix that sum at a lower amount than that agreed upon with Mr. Foley in 1867. Were he at this date offered a similar commission, I am positive (knowing the basis of his calculations for the O'Connell Monument at the time of arrangement with the Committee) that he would not accept the same terms. Further, Mr. Foley never viewed this commission as a source of — —

167 pecuniary benefit. He has told me more than once, he Bimply saw in it the rare opportunity for a ^reat work, and in the warmth of artistio enthusiasm, hoig^btened by innate patriotism, embraced it in the hope of permanently identifying his name and profession with the traditions of his native city. Certainly a more costly diaracter of design he could scarcely have adopted. " Mr. Foley's calculations at the date of the contract showed him how closely to the accepted value of the work its actual working cost should approximate, and this at a time when the expenses of its production would have been ia,T lower than at present ; thence the small balance that then seemed to him probable is now much lessened by the increased cost of execution. " Actuated by a knowledge of these facts, acquired by the closest intimacy of friendship with the deceased artist, I beg most respectfully to urge upon the kind consideration of your Committee that the sum now offered, £10,6.31 198. 2d. Stock, plus £2,000 paid to Mr. Foley in 1870, is farther from representing the value of the work than the sum agreed upon with Mr. Foley in 1867, viz. : £12,o00 cash, as stated in your last letter ; and, I trust, on reviewing the circumstances referred to, they will kindly replace the commission at the original amount, £12,500 cash, of course reserving to themselves all right of interest accruing from the re-investment of dividends. " In laying before your Committee this subject of cost, they will at once perceive that, as executor, I have no personal or pecuniary interest in the transaction, but am seeking only to act in justice to those interested in Mr. Foley's estate. " There is yet one other subject, in connection with the cost of the work, to which I beg to draw the attention of the Committee, viz., the mode of payment. It is a general custom with the profession, that payment for works, large works in particular, is made by instalments, at fixed stages of their progress. Such was the general practice of Mr. Foley, though not always so. Such a method in the present instance becomes essentially necessary, inasmuch as Mr. Foley's will places no capital at command for such purposes, and I am not empowered to retain as invested a sum sufficient to meet the very heavy current expenses of completion under the circumstances. I have carefully computed this item of arrangement, and beg to submit the following for the consideration of the Committee, as the periods of payment, viz. :

" 1 . On completion of full-sized model of drum or circular alto-relief, £2,000. " 2. On completion of full-sized models of Statue of O'Connell, and Four Victories, £2,000. "3. On casting in bronze of drum, £2,000. " 4. On casting in bronze of Statue of O'Connell, and Four Yictories, £2,000. " 5. The Balance on erection of work. " During the course of these payments, the stone-work must be in progress and its cost provided for out of the before-named instalments. " On the subject of time requisite for the completion of the commission, I regret there are many difficulties preventing my reply being as definite as I could desire, the character of the work, and nature of the materials to be employed, being such as forbid precise arrangements. In the process of bronze casting, mischances and accidents will occur, invol^g delay for which no provision or forethought can be made, as in the case 'of the colossal statue of the Prince Consort in Hyde Park ; in stone-work also (as in the case of the Prince Consort Memorial in your city), with which circumstances of protracted completion you are doubtless familiar, much delay and disappointment is frequently experienced. Judging, however, from a careful survey of the required work, and with the view to keep faith with any approach to; promise I may make, I think from three to four years will suffice for its completion and erection. The Committee may be assured of my most earnest efforts, to promote the completion of the work by every means in my power, consistent with the requirements of an undertaking so exalted in aim and so important in magnitude. Be yond such a pledge, I know Mr. Foley himself would not bind himself in the execution of this work, the subject being one to which he has occasionally alluded. — —

" With eyery desire to meet the wishes of the Committee, in the final arrangements for the completion of this National Monument, " I heg to remain, yours very faithfully, " George F. Tekniswood. " The Rev. J. O'Hanlon, &c., &c., &c., •' Son Secretary, " The O'Connell Monument Committee."

" Pbesbyteky, &c., " March 2nd, 1876. "Dear Sir, "I laid before the Sub-Committee of the O'Connell Monument Com- mittee, to whom it has been referred to report on the new arrangements proper to be entered into with you respecting the Monument, your letter of the 21st Inst., in reply to mine of the 17th inst., and I am directed to state that, it is a source of great satisfaction to the Committee to find, that the correspondence ^hich has already passed has brought the negotiation with you to a point at which there remains little to be settled in order to bring about a complete and most satisfactory understanding between you and them ; and they entertain every hope, that this letter and your reply to it will so far adjust the basis of the contract, that nothing will remain but to have the new contract itself prepared in legal form by counsel, and submitted to you and to your legal advisers for approval, previous to execution. " There appear to be three points with which your letter of the 21st instant deals, viz. : " 1st. The re-investment of the dividends on the Stock standing in the name of the Trustees. " 2ndly. The payment to you of certain periodical instalments during the progress of the work, and '• 3rdly. The period of time which you compute for the final completion and erection of the Monument.

" If you will allow me, I shall treat these in their order : " Istly. As regards the re-investment of the dividends for your benefit. Having conveyed to you in my last letter the conclusion at which, after the most careful and mature consideration, the Committee had arrived in reference to them, you very strongly urge a re-consideration of that decision ; but, with every desire to meet your views, the Committee feels bound to adhere to it, substantially, at least, though it will be willing in some respects to modify it in the manner I shall later on point out. It is extremely important, that you should bear in mind, that since the death of Mr. Foley, in the month of August, 1874, there has not only been no progress made with the O'Connell Monument, but, owing to the unfortunate litigation in which you had to embark, and which completely tied up your hands, there has up to this been positive inaction. Yet, during that period of inaction, the trustees did, in fact, re-invest three half- yearly dividends, viz.:—October, 1874, and April and October, 1875, thus adding upwards of £450 to the fund which was in existence at the time of Mr. Foley's death. Having thus, improvidently, perhaps, it may be said, added these dividends to the capital, they have now no intention or wish to withdraw them ; but I may state that the Committee, not having one pound at its disposal for defraying casual or contingent expenses which are constantly cropping up, and which are likely in future to increase, find it absolutely necessary to create a fund for the purpose of meeting these, and with this view it is their intention to appropriate future dividends, commencing with the dividend payable in April next, and to place them in a separate fund, to be known as the " O'Connell Monument Contingency Fund." To the credit of this new and special fund, the Committee wiU place the two dividends payable in 1876 and the April dividend of 1877, after that the Committee will be willing to share with you the half-yearly dividends on the Stock which will remain (after the periodical —

169

deductions contompluted to be mide in it, as hereafter more particulirly explained), by placing oae-half to the credit of the above special fund, and

re-investing the other half for your benefit ; or, if you prefer it, the Committed will bind itself in the interval between this and the final completion of the Monument, by investments of dividends or portions of dividends, from time to time, and at such times as it may think fit, to increase the Stock from

£10,631 198. 2d., its pre$ent amount, to the sum of £11,000 ; in other words, to add £368 Od. lOd. to it. Either arrangement, however, to be subject to the condition which you will find laid down under the third head of time. " I now come to deal with the second point in your letter, viz., your propose! stipulation for the payment to you of periodical instalments, according as the several parts of the Monument specified in your letter reach completion. The Committee see nothing either unusual or unreasonable in such a stipulation, and under certain conditions, and with certain safeguards, they will be happy to j

meet your wishes. i

" The following are the conditions proposed by the Committee : ' ' Istly. That the first instalment shall not be claimed or payment made before the Ist November, 1876. " 2ndly. That a period of six months at least shall elapse between each j instalment. { *' 3rdly. That payment of each instalment of £2,000 shall be made by a transfer of so much Stock, and not by a payment in cash.

" 4thly. That before payment of any instalment shall be made, there shall be ' laid before the Committee a certificate in writing, under the hand of an inde* pendent and competent artist (to be selected by the Committee), that the portion or item of the work, for which an instalment is to be paid, has been fully and satisfactorily completed, and further, that the value of the portion so completed is considerably greater than the amount of the instalment to be paid. The expense of employing such artist to be defrayed in equal proportions by yoa and by the Committee. ' ' 5thly. That in like manner, before the final instalment be paid, there shall be laid before the Committee a certificate in writing, under the hand of a com« petent architect (to be selected, employed, and paid in the same manner as the artist), that the entire Monument has been completed and erected in a satisfactory and workmanlike manner. While treating of this fifth condition, I am directed by the Committee to state, that it is to be understood^ and has always formed portion of the original arrangement, that the material for the pedestal ie to be of the most durable Irish stone, to be approved of by the Committee, and moreover,that portion of the work, that is to say, the architectural as distinguished from the artistic portion is to be executed here. Indeed, I may say, that any other arrangement would create the greatest jealousy, and would cause the

greatest dissatisfaction throughout the entire country ; whereas, on the other

, hand, it will create deep satisfaction in the minds of the citizens of Dublin to see the erection of the pedestal progressing under their eyes, and to know, that

^ a portion of the fund raised in Ireland is devoted to the promotion of Irish skill and industry. It is, therefore, the wish of the Committee, that payment of some of the instalments should be made to depend on the progress of this will ; portion of the work, which, as you say in your letter, be proceeding con- '•fcurrently with the artistic portion in London; and while holding you responsible for this as well as every other portion of the Monument, the wish of the Com- mittee is, that it should be periodically inspected and certified for by the Architect selected by the Committee. "I now come to the third and last topic treated of in your letter. I mean the important point of time. Considering that fully nine years have elapsed since the work was first taken in hands, the Committee experienced some Uttle feeling of disappointment on learning from your letter, that you computed it should require a further period of from three to four years, before the Monu- ment could be finally completed and erected. Long, however, as that period seems to be, the Committee is of opinion that, it should be better and more prudent on their parts to yield the point of time, and to allow you the period you have stipulated for, than unduly to press on the completion of a work of — fH^Tt-V

170

Buch magnitude and importance. They tbink, however, that within the period estimated for by you, there must be some fixed limit of time, and that they are entitled to introduce into the contract certain stringent conditions, which shall insure the entire work being carried out within that time. What the Com- mittee therefore proposes is, that the contract shall provide, that the Monument shall be fully and finally completed, erected, and ready for public inau^^uration by a day not later than the 18th July, 1879, or, in other words, within thtiee years and four months from the present date; and that, in the event of yottr failing to keep that portion of the contract, vou are to forfeit all claims to the extra dividenos, or extra sum proposed in a former portion of this letter to be paid to you. "There is just one other topic, which the Committee desires to place before

you ; and as it is one of great importance, they bespeak for it your most earnest attention. Having regard to the uncertainty of human life, and to your proposal that the work shall be paid for piecemeal or by instalments, the Committee is of opinion, that it is entitled to call on you to give ample security for the due execution and completion of the work by highly competent and skilled artists, within the period to be fixed by the contract. "Kindly bestow your most careful consideration upon the various points treated of in this letter, and favour me with a reply at your earliest convenience, on receipt of which I shall at once summon a special meeting of the Committee, to consider and take action on the entire correspondence.

Though the Committee will be disappointed at a further delay in your reply, they will, I am sure, hear with much regret, that legal difficulties have again arisen to hamper and embarrass you. " As the 5th of April, when the next dividend on the Stock will be payable, is now near at hand, and as a meeting of the Committee must be called for the purpose of formally authorising the trustees of the fund to draw that dividend and place it to the credit of the special fund mentioned in my letter to you of the 2nd instant, I trust, that even though your reply to the other portions of that letter may be a little longer delayed, you will, in order to remove all doubt and all causes and grounds for future misunderstanding, favour me with a line conveying your acquiescence in that course being taken, BO that I may call the Coxmrdttee together without delay.

I- " 10 Osnabcrgh Street, Regext's Tark, London, N.W., " Ulh July, 1876. "My Dear Sir, " In acknowledgment of yours of the 11th Inst., I regret to say, that the legal proceedings to which I referred in my last (June 6th), as preventing for the present my taking any steps for the completion of the O'Connell Monument, remain the same. " I need not, I trust, as Mr. Foley's representative, assure you of the concern this continuous delay in the completion of so important a work occasions me, but I cannot, in justice to myself, whilst replying to your very pressing note of the 11th, avoid reminding you that for this delay I am not responsible. Had the O'Connell Committee acted on my willingness to proceed with the work ou the death of Mr. Foley, now nearly two years ago, as other Committees did, the Monument might by this date have been very far advanced tovf ards completion, but it was only in March last (four mouths since), on the close of the ' Cloak ' controversy, that the basis of terms for completion were forwarded to me. *' How far I have striven to meet the wishes of the various Committees of Mr. Foley's nnfinished commissions is evidenced by the numerous works that have been satisfactorily completed and erected since his death, and among which, four important Statues have been erected in Ireland, viz., those of ' Grattan,' * Guinness,' 'LordRosse,' and 'Dr. Stokes.' " ^ Hence it will be seen, that whilst works were progressing, for the completion of which their respective Committees empowered me to proceed, the O'Connell Monument was standing still, the Committee declining to authorize its progress from August, 1874, to March, 1876, at which date commenced the proceedings that prevent me taking action for its completion. " I mention these facts, in order that all interested in the Monument may iiave the opportunity of judging to what causes the delay in the work is really -due. — —

"At the earliest moment my legal position will allow me to write more definitely as to the future progreHs of the work, I bhall have the pleasure of further communication, and remain " Dear Sir, yours faithfully, Geo. F, Tknnmwood. " E. D. Gray, Esq., Eon, Sec.

"Av'ju«t7lh,l67Q. "Dear Sir, " At a meeting of the O'Conuell Monument Committee, held at the Mansion House on the 3rd inst., tu consider the recent correspondence between yourself and me, with reference to the completion of tlie Munument, and to transact other business, the following resolution waH passed unanimously : " ' That the correspondence just read with Mr. Tenniswood be jiublished, and that the Honorary Secretary bo instructed to write to him, formally repudiating the re-sponsibility for the delay now sought to l>e put upon the Com- mittee, pointing out that this Committee opened negociations for the completion of the Monument as soon as Mr. Tenniswood Viecanie the legal representative

of the late Mr. Foley, by i)robate having been granted to him ; and that so far from his ever proposing to carry out the contract on the same terms as Mr. Foley, be, from the beginning, announced his inability to do so.' " The Committee are much surprised to find that the responsibility for delay should be sought to be put ui)on them, seeing that they opened negociations for the completion of the Monument immediately you became the legal representative of the late Mr. Foley. " I am also to remind you, that while acknowledging that the original contract was terminated by the death of Mr. Foley, you, from the beginning, declared your inability to renew that contract on the same term-, always requiring payment of instalments not therein provided. Ihe Committee consider that they have manifested the greatest patience aiid consideration for the difficulties (not, they are confident, of your own creation) with which you have

to contend ; but they cannot permit the responsibility for the delay to be transferred from you to them. They repudiate it in terms, and they assert, that not merely is the contract by your own acknowledgment at an end, but tLat you never yet at any period made an offer to renew it.

" Yours faithfully,

" E. DwvEK Gray, Son. Sec. " G. F. Tenniswood, Esq., " 10 Osnaburgh Street, London. " I send you a copy of the Freeman of Saturday, containing a report of the meeting."

" 10 OsxABUEGH Street, Lokdox, N., *' 16th August, 1876. "Dear Sir, " I am in receipt of yours of the 7th inst., containing resolution passed at the meeting of the O'Connell Monument Committee on the 3rd inst., and a copy of the Freeman's Journal, reporting proceedings. " From the tone of that resolution I presume the members prelsent were not conversant with the previous correspondence on the subject, an4 as the Com- mittee seek to repudiate the statements of my last letter, I will address myself to the three points of that resolution, as embodying their repudiation ; "1. The Committee deny the charge of delay. " Very soon after the death of Mr. Foley, certain members of Committee came to the conclusion that no arrangement should be made with me as Mr. Foley's representative for the progress of the work until I was legally empowered to act, which meant until Probate was granted. In support of thia 174

Btatement, I would refer to a resolution of Committee, alluded to by the Hon. Secretary in his letter of the 28th May, 1875, and also to another resolution moved by Mr. Qemon in November, 1875, 'that further action be suspended on the part of the Committee until the decree of the Court of Probate became known.' Surely this looks like delay on the part of the Committee, a delay at least of fifteen months, seeing that Mr. Foley died in August, 1874, and Pro- bate was not granted until November, 1875. " 2. That the Committee state, they opened negociations for the completion of the work immediately Probate was granted. •• On this head I beg to observe, that on the 30th November, 1875, 1 wrote to the Honorary Secretary, stating letters of Probate were issued to me ; but not until three months after did the Committee forward the first draft of negociation for terms of completion. I am aware that on the termination of the ' Cloak' controversy I was requested to proceed with the work—a step I could not b« expected to take until the arrangement of terms was complete, since the Com- mittee had declined my responsibility till in possession of Probate. For this furtixer interval of delay I contend I am not responsible. "3. That I am said to have announced from the beginning my inability to carry out the contract on the same terms as Mr. Foley agreed. " To this I give the most distinct denial. On this subject I would refer to mv letter of the 2l8t February, 1876, wherein I ask, that the payment for the work shall be the same as agreed with Mr. Foley—viz., £12,500 cash, as the first offer of the Committee to me was a lower sum (but subsequently somewhat increased). ^ " I regret to have to trouble you with these details, but the resolution in question demands such an explanation.

" I am, dear Sir, yours faithfully, " George F. Tesniswood. "E. D. Gray, Esq., Honorary Secretary, " The O'ConnoU Monument Committee."

" Attffust 30lh, 1876.

"Dear Sir, ; " In reply to your letter of the 15th, I beg to say—Ist, That you were in no position to treat with the Committee, nor was the Committee in a position to treat with you, for the resumption of the contract with the late Mr. Foley, imtil you had taken out Probate to his Will. This is self-evident. " 2nd. You say the Committee is responsible for the delay of three months between your announcement of Probate having been granted to you and the

' draft proposal for a new contract being sent you ; but you go on to say, I am aware that at the termination of the " Cloak " controversy I was requested to proceed with the work, a step I could not be expected to take until the arrangement of the terms was complete, since the Committee had declined any responsibity until I was in possession of Probate.' I can scarcely follow, the line of this argument, whieh seems to me self-destructive. You deny that you announced your inability to carry out the contract on the same terms as Mr. Foley, and refer to your letter of February 21st last. Permit me to remind you, that at an interview we had in London long before you took out Probate, you distinctly informed me, that you had no funds to carry on the work to completion, except the contract was varied, and you were paid as it went on ; but, apart from this, your written communications are distinct on the subject. I cannot trace any letter of yours of • Feb. 21st, 1876,' but think you refer to yours of Feb. 27th, 1876. This letter confirms the Committee's views, for in it you say, ' that a modification of the original conl^ract, to the extent of making the payments by instalments, is absolutely necessary.' '< I am, therefore, justified in specifically reiterating on the part of the Com- mittee, every statement in my letter of the 7th inst.^ •rs-.-' !w ?-JB! ,.

" I trust you will soon be in a position to make .some definite proposal, if not I very muon fear that the Oommittee will be unable to wait.

•' 10 0SNA.BCROH Street, Rbqekt's Park, '•LoNDOi^, N.W., Uth October, 1876. "Dear Sir, " Illness and other pressing causes have prevented my earlier reply to yours of the 30tb August. "Little, however, now remains to be said as to with whom rests the responsibility for the delay in the progfress of the O'Counell Monumout, as in your letter of the above date, you state the Committee was not in a position to treat with me for the resumption of the contract, until I took Probate. By that statement you relieved me ox any responsibility up to the date of Probate, whilst the causes (beyond my control) further preventing action on the work since that date, have been already explained. " I deny most distinctly having said to you on the occasion of your interview in London, the contract must be varied, i.e., as regards the price of the work. I alluded naturally enough to the necessity for its payment by instalments, a practice most common in commissions for works in sculpture, and a principle the Committee long since admitted, by paying Mr. Foley himself £2,000 on account ; hoVever, as no arrangements can be entered into for the resumption of the work, until some Chancery proceedings now pending are settled, the question of responsibility for past delay can in no way affect future progress. **Li my own justification, I beg to repeat, that had the Committee chosen to instruct me, on the death of Mr. Foley, to proceed with the work, I should have given my best efforts to its progress, and entertain no doubt, that by this date the Monument would have been rapidly approaching completion.

OMISSIONS. I

The following details of Subscriptions -were accidentally omitted in the General List, and at the proper date, although the totals were inserted. At April 5th, 1864, the sum of £1 15s. is acknowledged from Croghan, Diocese of Elphin, through the Rev. Terence Sweeny, P.P., and it includes the following individual contributions, viz. :

Rev. Terence Sweeny, P.P., 10s. ; Mr. Ford, 5s. ; Mrs. Walker, 5s.

Rev. Mr. Geraghty, 5s. ; Mr. Michael Barrett, 2s. 6d. ; Mr. Nicholas Barrett, 2s. 6d. At April 30th, 1864, the sum of £1 10s. is acknowledged from Malin, Diocese of Londonderry, and it includes the following individual contributions, viz. : —Rev. John Keys O'Doherty, CO., Rev. R. P. O'Doherty, CO., and Rev. J. Quinn, CO., 10s. each; Daniel Ruddin, Edward M'Loughlin, John Lannigan, James Ruddin, John M'Loughlin, Neal M'Donnell, and John Mooney, Is. each. To the General List of subscriptions to the ^O'Connell Monument as found in the Appendix, those included in the Report, in Sections V., VL, and VII., must be added to complete the returns. In many cases detailed lists of contributors had not been

sent to the honorary secretaries ; in various instances the names, addresses, and figures as written, were hardly decipherable, and

therefore errors may have crept into the printing ; while in a few cases, lists had been mislaid and could not be recovered. However, notwithstanding these omissions, which on the whole are of a very trivial character, great care has been taken to decipher, arrange and classify in chronological order the lists as filed and preserved by the honorary secretaries for a term extending over many years that have elapsed since the inception of the O'Connell Monument.
