7()] APPENDJX TO llEPORT PllOM
Resolved, That the above names having been forwarded to the district of Dublin, with a
view of ascertaining whether they were names of persons belonging to any of the lodges
vvitliin the Dublin district; and it having been reported to us that the above-named persons
were not members of any lodge wiihin said district, and other necessary inquiries having
been made, we feel authorized in peremptorily stating that said individuals are not mem¬
bers of the Orange institution.
Resolved, That haviiig observed in ihe public prints a statement alleged to have been
made by an individual named George Tickell, who was represented as taking an active part
at an anti-union meeting, that he the said George Tickell was an Orangeman, and member
of Lodge 497, and reference having been made through the county grand secretary to said
lodge, we are enabled to state, that the said George Tickell is not and never was a member
of said lodge, and that we consequently have no doubt that said George Tickell is no mem¬
ber of this institution.
Resolved, That the above are the only persons alleged to be Orangemen who have taken
a part at anti-union meetings, who have been mentioned by name.
Resolved, That having learned, not indeed with surprise, but with great disgust, the asser¬
tion so recklessly put forward by the demagogues, that the loyal members of our institution
joined in the late procession which took place in the City of Dublin in honour of Mr.
O'Connell, we, the committee of the grand lodge of Ireland, deny with scorn the unworthy
imputation. We deny that any of our members attended said procession or processions.
We defy those who have made the assertion to mention the name of even one Orangeman
who attended it; and we pledge ourselves, if they can do so with truth, to make a public
admission of the fact.
Resolved, That the basis of this institution being loyaltj' to our King and attachment to
the law, and having received authorized assurajices thai the law will be impartially admi¬
nistered, and its protection afforded to all classes of His Majesty's Irish subjects, we have
no hesitation in advising our brethren in all parts of Ireland to come forward, and pass
resolutions declaratory of their determination to uphold the law against demagogues and
agitators, and put down thereby the attempt which is now making to carry a measure
which, ultimately, must lead to the extinction of the Protestant name and race in Ireland.
Resolved, That the D. G. S. be ordered to desire the county secretaries to send their
resolutions to this committee, and that as it is an object to publish the resolutions of all
counties on the same day, that it is deemed expedient that no county should publish its
resolutions till all the counties publish together.
Resolved, that the D. G. S. be directed to draw up a letter to the county secretaries,
informing them of the above resolution.
Moved by W. R.Ward, andlp , 6 January 1831.
Seconded by H. R. Baker: J
Resolved, That on due consideration, we are of opinion, that it would not be desirable to
wait until all counties should pass resolutions with respect to a junction with Papists, but
that as each county pass resolutions, tl)at same be forwarded to this committee for its
approbation, and that, if approved of, then published without delay.
5ih August 1831.
