| Description | George Ponsonby O'Callaghan, 2nd and last Viscount Lismore's unwillingness to receive the Order of St Patrick, in spite of his earlier acceptance, in view of the state of his health. James Molyneux Caulfield, 3rd Earl of Charlemont, submitted. (*Note: Lord Palmerston writes 'the Thistle' but this is evidently a mistake, as Lord Charlemont was made a K.P. on 28th December 1865 and both he and Lord Lismore were Irish as well as English Peers.) Lord Palmerston on measures taken for Queen Victoria's safety against the Fenians. |
