Royal Commission appointed to inquire into the municipal corporations in Ireland: first report

40 REPORTS FROM COMMISSIONERS, &c. 
without which the authority of the law may be dreaded, but cannot be respected or effective. 
We have not thought ourselves authorized to recommend specific measures of improvement in our Reports—save so far as the notice of, and necessary observa¬ tions upon, the defect, and cause of evil, tend to suggest the remedy. 
But we feel it to be our duty humbly to represent to Your Majesty, that the early and effectual correction of the existing evils, and the prevention of future mischief, are anxiously desired, and essentially requisite; and that these benefits can be attained, only, by means of a general and complete Reform of the constitutions of the Municipal Corporations in Ireland. 
We humbly submit this Report to Your Majesty's Royal Consideration.
