| Summary: | Dated lower left of sheet "Council Rooms 9, D'Olier Street, May 20 1848", this broadside calls on the public in Dublin not be provoked [into partaking in fighting], urging citizens "under no circumstances suffer yourselves to be provoked into a collision at this moment. The Game of the Enemy is plain, and so is yours. Theirs is to hurry you into a fight when they are prepared, and you are not. YOURS IS TO BIDE YOUR TIME". This broadside was issued the week before John Mitchel's trial, conviction and deportation for treason-felony. Printed at foot of sheet: "By order, Thomas Matthew Halpin, Sec[retary]." The Confederation Chairman was William Smith O'Brien. |
