The papers calendared below are contained in the file numbered 36/1 in the Dublin Diocesan Archives, and cover the year 1838. The late Mary Purcell calendared the papers. The Editor wishes to express his gratitude to His Grace, Dr Desmond Connell, archbishop of Dublin, for permission to publish this calendar, and to Mr David C. Sheehy, the diocesan archivist, for his assistance in the preparation of the material for publication. Dublin Diocesan Archives File 36/1 (1838) Papers of Archdeacon John Hamilton VERY IMPORTANT FOLDER 1 (1838) A letter from Lord Fingall to Dr Hamilton. As Dr H. seems to think that the Trustees now in town might wish him (F.) to join the deputation to the Lord Lieutenant, he sent a note to Dr Murray asking for information re the purport of the meeting; he now hears that the Archbishop is not in town. He himself has just returned to Ireland and asks Dr. H. to forward the enclosed to Dr M. He writes from O'Dienne's Hotel, Sackville Street. Date: 9 September 1838. As you seemed IRISH BISHOPS 2 (1838) A letter from Dr Kirby, Irish College, Rome, to Dr Hamilton. He sends the letter by a Dublin student who is returning to Ireland and encloses a small, indulgenced crucifix. He expects they heard of the outrageous treatment of the Archbishop of Cologne by the King of Prussia. This has raised a storm of indignation in Rome against the assailant and roused much sympathy with the Archbishop. A fitting panegyric was preached in the Roman College, condemning the wily Prussian Ambassador, Brison. The Russian Court wrote to the Pope requesting that he depose the Bishop of Podlachia (Poland); H.H. replied that he would do so if the Commission of Canonical Crimes decided that the Bishop deserved it; a second letter came to say that the Bishop was preaching that there was no salvation outside the 37 MHHMIMM ARCHIVIUM HIBERNICUM Catholic Church and asserted that mixed marriages were to be regulated according to what the Holy See laid down. The Pope smiled and told the Emperor in reply that far from meriting censure the Bishop deserved high commendation. All the kings of the earth unite against the Church. He describes the St Patrick's Day celebrations in the College. A brother of the King of Naples has come to the Noble College for his education under the Jesuits. He is inclined towards the secular state. All in the College were glad to hear of Dr Murray's recovery. On the back he gives a list of the indulgences attached to the crucifix. Date: 28 April 1838. I avail myself NON-IRISH BISHOPS 3 (1838) Same to same. Following his appointment to Madras he met Mr More O'Ferrall and mentioned the memorial being sent to Parliament; he wonders if it would be advisable to seek the support of other M.P.s before forwarding the memorial or would M.O'F. regard this as offensive. Dr M. was absent when he called about this, so he asks Dr H. to seek Dr M.'s advice on the matter and let him know. Date: 13 April 1838. May I avail 4 (1838) A letter from Dr P. J. Carew, Maynooth, inviting Dr Hamilton to his episcopal consecration (Coadjutor, Madras) and to dinner. Date: 11 June 1838. Will you honour 5 (1838) Same to same. He will be in Ireland for about a month and will be free to take up any duty. He enquires re Dr Murray whose recovery seems now assured. He heard from Dr Moriarty who is doing his utmost in the business with the Directors but Mr O'Ferrall offered no compensation and did not even grant an interview. O'Connell first took up the matter seriously (?) but since he met Lord Clifford has become cold and suspicious towards Dr Moriarty. Lord C. seems to have left O'C. under the impression that Dr Moriarty disagreed with his bishop or was involved in some controversy with him. The writer is seeing O'Connell tonight and will disabuse him of this idea. The authorities at the Indian Office received Dr Moriarty very kindly, so he has hopes of success. Date: 13 July 1838. Warm thanks for 6 (1838) Same to same. He is delighted to hear that Dr Murray is improving. He will do all he can to forward the interests of the Society and to lay them before the Council. From the tenor of the Abbe Desclos' letter to Dr H. he thinks Dr H.'s application will be successful. Date: 24 August 1838. I have been 7 (1838) Same to same. They have not got in Maynooth a supply of the holy oils necessary for the consecration of the altar stones; he 38 DUBLIN DIOCESAN ARCHIVES: HAMILTON PAPERS (5) begs Dr H. to send same by the bearer of this letter. Date: 29 August 1838. The cause of 8 (1838) Same to same. Because of Dr H.'s interest in the Society for the Propagation of the Faith he sends him a communication received re same. Some think that Mr O'Toole has more zeal than discretion in the matter and that the Bishops may be made apprehensive lest the introduction of the Society might prove injurious to existing charities in Ireland. These men, all interested in the Society, think it would be in the best interests of the Society to introduce it quietly and imperceptibly in Dublin. When well organized there it could easily expand throughout the country. Caution is required at every step. Since Mr O'Toole's visit to Maynooth the idea of establishing the Society there had to be abandoned. He thanks Dr H. for sending the holy oils. Dale: 30 August 1838. From the interest DR GAFFNEY, MAYNOOTH 9 (1838) A letter from Dr Gaffney, Maynooth, to Dr Hamilton. Owing to unexpected College duties he will be unable to breakfast tomorrow with Dr H., and their friend, Fr Ryan. He asks Dr H. to excuse him and to renew the invitation for Thursday morning when he can assuredly be present. Date: 18 September 1838. I promised to 10 (1838) Same to same. He is glad to hear from Dr H. that Dr Cullen has 'the factious men outside the College gate' (in Rome). If Maynooth had two or three in the same position they would have the finest college in Europe. Mr McGinnis doing well; he and T. and M. Murray walk together and discuss the means of improving the house. The factious, who tried to keep McGinnis from Dr G., are now trying to keep another from him. He will begin saying the Masses whenever Dr H. wishes as he is free every day. It is rumoured throughout the College that he (Dr G.) is being sent to Calcutta. Date: 11 December 1838. I thank you 11 (1838) Same to same. As he had no reply to the preceding he is uneasy in case the letter was mislaid; he hopes not as he said something that was meant for Dr H. alone. Date: 15 December 1838. I sent you SECULAR PRIESTS 12 (1838) A detailed report, in Dr Hamilton's hand, of the work done on the Pro-Cathedral, expenditure to date, Lenihan's account etc., covering from April 1837 to January 1838. Amount of account 39 ARCHIVIUM HIBERNICUM 13 (1838) A letter from Fr Carey, Swords, to Dr Hamilton, enclosing portion of a letter he mislaid, with names of a child, its parents and sponsors. Fr Montagu informed him that Dr H. told the two Vicar Generals that he (C.) addressed Fr Walshe disrespectfully. He does not think this was a proper thing to do as he merely made an indignant denial of a charge. He wishes always to stand well with his fellow-clergymen. Date: 5 January 1838. I enclose you 14 (1838) A letter from Fr P. J. Gilligan, St James's, to Dr Hamilton.
