Charles Lever, the great expounder of l Irish life, has written in “ Charles O’Milley” of the Galway Blakes, and whoever turns to- Burke’s “ Landed Gentry” will find that in that fighting country there are any number of Blakes who ably maintained that celebrated district’s reputation for gallantry, hard riding and good shooting. It is from these Blakes of Gralway thit our states- man Springs. In 1185 Prince John, second son of King Henry 11.. came over to Ireland and mightily offended the Irish Chieftains. in consequence of this there was much war in the'land, and in this fighting one Richard Caddell, alias Blake, so distin- guished himself that he was granted cer- tain lands. Burke is the Bible of those who claim good descent, and his account of the family is as follows : BL’RKE's ACCOUNT OF THE BLAKES. “The founder of this family in Ireland, Richard Blake, alias Caddell, accompan- ied {Prince (afterwards King) John into that kingdom in 1185 and obtained for his military services large grants of land in the Counties Galway, Mayo, Clare and in the town of Galway.” From the loins of this founder of the family half a dozen branches sprang and are now members of that real aristocracy of the British Empire, the Landed Gentry. A scion of this great family of the Gal- way Blakes was Samuel Hume Blake of Castclgrove, County Galway, whose son in the middle of Eighteenth Century married first the Hon. Miss Netterville, daughter of Lord l‘lettervdle of Drogheda, and secondly, the daughter of Sir Joseph Hoare, Baronet, of Annabella, county Cork. By her he had four sons, one of whom, Dominick Edward, took orders and became Rector and Rural Dean of Kiltegan and Loughbrickland. A report of the captain of the Fire Brigade was read and referred tO com- mittee on fire and water. A report of chief constable was read and referred to police committee. Mr. Winters read the report of the finance committee which was adopted. Mr. Robson read the report of the street and bridge committee. The mayor objected strongiy to two items, the building of a new sidewalk on the west side of the avenue from Peel to Kent street, and the raising of the Side- walk on north side of Kent street near W111 Mr. Robson’s store. Mr. Head moved seconded by Mr. Touchburn that the several clauses of the report be read separately for discussion, which was lost and the report was adopted.
