A London theatre sketch surveys Mr Irving as a dramatic force and public figure. It praises his stage charisma while critiquing his style and manner as contrasted with Dr Chalmers and other contemporaries, noting audience reactions and the pivotal, volatile reception.
A fragmented London essay notes climate, politics, and social satire amid theatrical and parliamentary scenes. It reflects on weather provoking public discourse, shifts in fashion, and a general sense of idle urban life as authorities and citizens react to rising water and cultural change. It also reports a coroner's inquest into a drowning case with testimony from Dyson and Mrs Bell, detailing a man and a woman involved in a fatal incident near Westminster Bridge.
The Fratu e er Pa tic of Ans at Tare attempted to assassinate Mr Horrocks. The young man, questioned about his motive, claimed he prayed for guidance and sought vengeance as ringleader against Horrocks and Miller. He admitted intent after the spinners’ protest and described planning to kill both men, showing no remorse. The prisoner was committed on the capital charge and remanded to Lancaster Gaol. The article also mentions a vivid Italian firefly sensation and a Liverpool library for apprentices, plus agricultural notes on crops and harvest.
The jury returned a verdict against William Britten Dyron after an hour and a half of deliberation. The prisoner replied firmly, Now I am quite content. The coroner issued a warrant of commitment and he was taken back to Tothillield prison for transport to Newgate to be tried. He has shown deep despondency and has been kept handcuffed to prevent self harm during custody.
A long 1822 Irish column notes Daniel Connell’s execution for murder at Cappass Kane, with his confessions about breaking Morissy’s house but denying the fatal shot. Mentioned are Jeremiah Nunan James Connell and John Dundon to be hanged, Cork trials under the insurrection act, and other local incidents including arson at Sir John Murphy’s dwelling near Kinsale. The piece also covers church and civic matters, minor crimes, and forthcoming trials.
