| Item Description: | Militant Protestant societies launched in August 1828 to provide a replacement for the Orange Order, which had been suppressed along with the Catholic Association by the Unlawful Societies Act of 1825.

Catholic legislation was proposed, they theoretically continued until December 1829. |
