Letter
SIMMS, Vice-Consul to Charles R. Lowell, June 21, 1881
[Inclosure 11 in No. 331.]
Mr. Simms to Mr. Lowell.
United States Consulate, Belfast, June 21, 1881.
Sir: On receipt of your letter of the 10th instant in reply to mine asking instructions in the case of Daniel Sweeney, I wrote to Dublin requesting that the grounds for Mr. Sweeney’s arrest might he furnished me, and to-day am in receipt of a letter from Mr. J. W. Burke, a copy of which I inclose, which simply states that there were reasonable grounds for suspecting Mr. Sweeney of inciting people to unlawfully assemble together, and to commit riot and assault. I have no means of ascertaining the justice of these charges, and would therefore be glad if you could make any further suggestion to me in the matter.
I am, sir, &c.,
WILLIAM S. SIMMS,
Vice-Consul.
Vice-Consul.
