The power had been confined to Great Britain till the latter part of the last century, when it was judged desirable to extend it also to the Lord-lieutenant of Ireland.
I don't see that the Lord-Lieutenant is any more unlikely than lots of other things that have happened." "I'm glad to hear you say that," said Father McCormack. He and Major Kent were standing together at the window while they talked. Neither of them noticed that Mary Ellen had come into the room.
The plan, with all its horrors, was upheld by the Lord-Lieutenant, and more than any other cause, precipitated the rebellion which exploded at last, just as Sir Ralph was allowed to retire from the country. His temporary successor, Lord Lake, was troubled with no such scruples as the gallant old Scotsman. Events followed each other in the first months of 1798, fast and furiously.
Moriarty was whistling "Eileen Allan-nah" softly in Mary Ellen's ear. "Where's Mr. Doyle?" said Dr. O'Grady. "As regards the visit of the Lord-Lieutenant," said Constable Moriarty rousing himself and moving a little bit away from Mary Ellen, "what I was saying this minute to Mary Ellen was " "Where's Mr. Doyle?" said Dr. O'Grady. "He's within," said Mary Ellen. "Where else would he be?"
We used to sneer at the Tories for their ignorance of these matters, but after all, we, like them, are mainly dependent on quarter sessions; on the judgment of a lord-lieutenant and the statistics of a bench of magistrates.
They can only be called Magistrates as the Executive of the United States is sometimes called the "Chief Magistrate." One of the most conspicuous and trusted of these Divisional Magistrates, I find, is Colonel Turner, who was Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant, under Lord Aberdeen. He is now denounced by the Irish Nationalists as a ruthless tyrant.
There was no such person as our General, but there may be lots of statues to him. There's certainly one. There's probably at least another. I should think the people of Bolivia are sure to have one. We'll ask Billing when we see him." "Is he the priest who mistook me for the Lord-Lieutenant?" "Oh, no. He's the swindler whom Doyle caught. By the way, here's Doyle coming out of the hotel again.
It was also their duty to see that the beacons were kept in order. Such an official as the lord-lieutenant was not likely to be left unburdened with other duties when the government was struggling to obtain the enforcement of its laws, and, as a matter of fact, functions quite unmilitary were imposed upon him.
"It's an illuminated address. We intended to present it to the Lord-Lieutenant, but of course we can't when he isn't here. You're to take it, and hand it over to him next time you see him." He pushed the address into Lord Alfred's arms as he spoke. Many men would have made some resistance, would have put their hands into their pockets, perhaps, and so forced Dr.
Gladstone is more prevalent than ever, and the prophets who all along credited that pious statesman with rank insincerity are now saying "I towld ye so." The Lord-Lieutenant is making his Viceregal progress in an ominous silence. The Limerick people let him go without a cheer.
