June 18th 1849. 

 Sir, — I have the honour to enclose a letter received from the High Constable for the 

 barony of Leitrim, county of (Jahvay, stating that at the period of the transfer of certain 

 detached portions of the county of Clare which were insulated in the barony of Leitrim, 

 county of Galway. by proclamation of the Privy Council dated the 9th day of February, 

 1842, viz. the townlands of Cappadhu and Knockafirth situate on the parish of Inniscaltra 

 and county of Gkilway. an omission took place in regard to the island of Inniscaltra or 

 Holy Island, situate in Lough Derg, of the river Shannon, and which has from time 

 immemorial, along with Cappadhu and Kii(ickai:rtli, formed a detached portion of the 

 county of Clare. Having ascertained the above staiement to be correct, I am of opinion 

 that it will be desirable to issue a new proclamation, transferring the island of Inniscaltra 

 or Holy Island, being a detached portion of the county of Clare, from the county of Clare 

 to the barony of Leitrim, county of Galway. 



I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, 



Richard Griffith.

 Castle. 



On 31st July 1849, a proclamation was accordingly i.«siied, incorporating 

 the island with the harony of Leitrim and county of Galway.
