"Harry Clifton, Author of the Sensation Comic Songs, 'The Dark Girl Dressed in Blue', 'Uncle Joe' and 'Paddington Green' respectfully intimates that the Irish comic songs 'Lannigan's Ball', 'The Rocky Road to Dublin' and 'Darby M'Guire', written expressly for him by Gavan of Galway, are copyright and legally protected; consequently, he politely requests his brother Comiques from singing them in public without permission.
