Robberies and strange cargoes in Dublin and London
An account reports a rash of thefts after a recent installation in Dublin with many valuables stolen from private houses and travelers, including a diamond buckle, girdle set, watches, snuff-boxes, and swords. It notes a French Jesuit arrived from China with gifts for the king of France, and ships bringing Chinese mandarins to study in Rome. Also an East India cargo rumor and a public notice touting a remedy for ague and other maladies, with a theft alert for plate items in Dublin.
