Belfast Fire Threatens McCartney's Granary and Town Trade
In Belfast on August 26 a large fire, likely set deliberately, damaged a fine granary adjoining the McCartney estate, valued at two thousand pounds, with smoke and heat endangering surrounding structures. The incident follows labor disputes over wages, with masters refusing wage increases and workers threatening to strike, impacting city trade and the craft. Ships arrive from London and Dublin as markets adjust to the disruption.
