Dublin Chronicle Dated Notes and Crime Promises 1740
Dublin reports of a market illness ending in death, a drowning of a young apprentice, and a review by Lieutenant General Garvas Parker in Phoenix Park. A brigadier arrives with news from Admiral Vernon’s squadron about Cartagena, with a castle taken and cash distributed. Weather, grain prices, market goods, and a wave of arrests near New Gate are noted, along with royal pardons and a public notice offering a reward for theft.
