Signatures of the Ulster Covenant on 28 Sep 1912
Division: Antrim East
Declaration:
We, whose names are underwritten, women or men of Ulster, and loyal subjects of our gracious King, being firmly persuaded that Home Rule would be disastrous to our County, desire to associate ourselves with the men of Ulster in their uncompromising opposition to the Home Rule Bill now before Parliament, whereby it is proposed to drive Ulster out of her cherished place in the constitution of the United Kingdom, and to place her under the domination and control of a Parliament in Ireland.
Praying that from this calamity God will save Ireland, we hereto subscribe our names.
