But on this fact I was not left to conjecture. I was apprised by letter from you, and also Mr. G. Ponsonby, that my interests had been taken care of ; Mr. G. l"*onsonby commnnicated the same to a relation of mine, then ill London; directing him to inform me that my place as Attor- ney-General was fixed, and that my coming over would be but unnecessary trouble." S68 LIFE OF CUEKAJS'. The Duke of Bedford, was sent over as Viceroy to Ireland, and on Mr. Poiisonby's appointment as Cliancellor, he a...ssured Mr. Cur- ran tliat every thin Of would be done for him to his satisfa(;ti . n. But instead of getting the aj^pointment of Irish Attorney -General, (iho stei)ping stone to the Chief Justiceship, for wliich, as a com- mon lawyer, he was well qualified, Mr. Curran found that Mr. riunket was to be continued in that office.
