Pardon Granted for Robbery at Wicklow in 1709
A petition from Samuel Hobson, collector of the Port of Wexford, requests a pardon for accomplices in a robbery where three thousand pounds were stolen from the Treasury in Dublin. The plea notes a reward of forty pounds for the discoverer, with authorities promising mercy and pursuit of offenders. The proclamation, dated Fame 16, 1709, declares pardons for those who aid in discovery and capture.
