Referring to the Memorial forwarded to His Excellency the Lord 

 Lieutenant on the 7th March and other correspondence on the subject 

 of the gold objects found in the North of Ireland, and subsequently 

 bought by the British Museum fi'om Mr. E,obert Day, I have been 

 directed by the Council to ask that his Excellency may be pleased to 

 communicate to the Council such information as he may be able to 

 afford as to any decision arrived at by Her Majesty's Government 

 relative thereto. 



The matter being one in which not merely the Council of the 

 Academy, but the whole body of Lrish Antiquaries, and a large section 

 of the Irish public are keenly interested, the Council would feel 

 indebted to His Excellency if he would favour them with some 

 information thereupon. 



I am, 



Sir, 



Your obedient servant, 



EoBEET Atkinson, 



Secretary of Council. 

 The Chief Seoeetaey to 



The Loed Lieutenant 

 Dublin Castle.
