County Carlow December 22d 1846

"I have the honor to transmit a representation from the Magistrates of Carlow relative to the sale of a large number of fire arms which is to take place in this Town for the Information of His Excellency The Lord Lieutenant."

Turn Over [page 2]

"We the undersigned Magistrates of the County of Carlow residing in the town of Carlow beg leave to call the attention of the Government to the enclosed Hand bill several copies of which were posted through this town on yesterday."

"Having no power under the existing laws to prevent or restrict the indiscriminate sale of arms amongst the people, we feel it to be our duty to lay the matter before the Government Authorities, and at the same time we cannot but express our serious apprehension that the distribution of arms amongst the peasantry is calculated, under existing circumstances, to lead to consequences dangerous to the public tranquillity."
