| Notes: | Includes his correspondence with Walter Berwick, Q.C. Berwick was a nephew of Henry Grattan junior who was admitted to the Irish bar in 1826. He was well regarded by Daniel O'Connell while practising at the bar. His politics were liberal, and he was a founder member of the Stephen's Green Club in 1840. In 1849 the government appointed him to chair an inquiry into a riot , and his report led to the dismissal of several prominent orangemen from the magistracy.
