Notes
The Duke of Wellington referred to Dr. Cane in the speech as an argument for not handing authority to the municipal corporations at the expense of the Lord-Lieutenant: ‘It was necessary some time ago to carry on military operations in the very neighbourhood of Kilkenny. Who was the elected mayor there at that time? Dr. Cane. And what became of Dr. Cane? Why, before the operations in Kilkenny were over, he was in prison under the provisions of the act for the suspension of the habeas corpus [...]’ (Quoted in Charles Read, ed., Cabinet of Irish Literature, Vol. III, 1879, p.46).
