Report on United Irishmen papers before the Commons
In a Thursday Commons session Mr Pelham presented the Secret Committee report on Belfast papers from United Irishmen. The panel denounces the society as anti British, seeking to disunite and replace the constitution, citing Tone’s Belfast letter and a 1791 declaration. The papers show a hierarchical structure from Baronial to National Committees, funds, arms, and provisions for members and families. The society’s strength is described as over 100000 members with cannons and a mortar, with notes on arms procurement and anticipatory payments for expeditions. The committee also details seized documents from John Alexander’s Belfast residence. Pelham moved to print the report.
