Fire, thefts, and oddities plague Dublin in January 1741
A private letter from Dantzick hints at the Raf fia royal family seeking residence in that city. Reports from Kilmainham describe a sudden fire at Devil's Half Acre. brigands robbed shops on Meath Street and a White Cross inn. a violent storm damaged homes and chimneys. local officials prosecuted Thomas Reed for Villsinies, while notable figures entered or left public offices and a marriage occurred at Castlefre. Several notices detail currency, bread prices, and a government loan drawing set for January 25 with a February payoff and militia funding reminders.
