The Memorial of the Grand Jury of the County of Wexford, assembled at Summer Assizes 1859.
Humbly showeth," That your memorialists are deeply interested in the improvement of the Harbour of Wexford, and have learned with great satisfaction that the Lords of the Admiralty have recommended that a sum of 50,000/.
should be granted in aid of a similar sum provided out of the local resources, and that both amounts should be placed in the hands of Commissioners* appointed by the Admiralty to carrv out the necessary improvements, which from the propin¬ quity of Wexford to South Wales, must be of great national benefit.
Your memorialists are satisfied from the known anxiety of your Lordship to promote the interests of Iieland, that the importance of this improvement will be concurred in, and the recommendation of the Admiralty for a grant of 50,000 /.
in aid of local resources will be supported by the weight of your Excel¬ lency's influence.
