1 St John's Priory,
St John Street, W.
Dublin. April 4th. '16 Right Honorable and Dear Sir, I understand that Mr. Charles
P.O'Neil, Solicitor, Dawson Street,
is a candidate for the Crown-
Solicitorship rendered vacant by
the lamented death of Sir Malachy
O'Kelly. As you will likely have
to deal with his application may
I take the liberty of laying before
you an appreciation of the Clergy
of his Church. He has our fullest
confidence, esteem and respect. 2 We look upon him as an
honest, honorable and highly-
gifted member of the legal
Profession. He is a firm upholder
of Law and Order, a friend of
John Redmond and the National
Party and consequently an ardent
and strenuous Supporter of the Government. We firmly believe that if appointed
to the High Office, now vacant, He will
discharge its various duties as
conscientiously and efficiently
as his predecessor. 3 Hoping you will kindly
pardon my intrusion I beg to remain,
Right Honrable Sir,
Your obedient Servant (Rev) Edward W. Mooney
S. Prior
