Pedlar Robbery and Wood Gang Suppression Report
Limerick July 18 reports a pedlar robbed near the city with cash and goods recovered after two suspects were captured by Mr Hynes with a justice inquiry. The prisoners confessed to Cra-tailoe Gang ties, naming Hickie as one alias and Mac pamara or Connor as another, with Delahyde noted as a horse-rider. Authorities plan a sweep of Cratoroe Wood with fifty men to hunt the gang, who steal cattle and force locals to aid defence. A separate incident: a King's Revenue officer’s seizure of tobacco and brandy led to a violent, pistol-wielding robbery thwarted by the uncle, niece, and a pistol misfire. A clever shoppe ruse in Williams Street yielded oats hidden as tea. Port news reports ships sailing and arrivals, including Woollwich and Gatgaif Prize for Gibraltar.
