Robbers warn streets and a sheriff appointed in Ireland
A Dublin report notes a gang robbing a young gentleman of a gold watch and purse then paying him two Louis d Ors. They spread a fearsome claim that after six in the evening all Patrons carry 120 Livres in valuables with 36 Livres of death as penalty. Lords Justices appoint Robert Harman as High Sheriff of Longford for the coming year. News also mentions Captain Esmond’s uncle injured by a fowling piece and the death of Dr John Vanleuven from a wound. The market price of wheat and bread costs are itemized in the city.
