(c) Hardy p. 194 (a) 5. Lord Sheffield p. 360. It is now necessary +
to go back to the year 1778, to take notice of a phenomenon,
"which began to appear about that time. The like
"never has been observed in any Country, at least where there
"was an established government. To describe it strictly,
"it may be called an army unauthorized by the laws,
"and uncontrolled by the Government of the country,
"but it was generally known, by the name of Volunteers
"of Ireland. Their institution bore some resemblance
"of a connection with the executive power. Arms belonging
"to the state, and stored under the care of the lieutenant
"of Counties, were delivered to them, upon the alarm of
"foreign invasion. So far they seemed to be countenanced
"by Government; but in a short time they caused
"no little jealousy and uneasiness. The arms issued
"from the public stores were insufficient to supply the
"rapid increase of the volunteers: the rest were procured
"by themselves, and the necessary accoutrements,
"with a considerable number of field pieces."
