A Dublin Court case, damages awarded, and Yeomanry inspections followed. A Kilmainham thief was whipped. Curry repelled five robbers with a bludgeon and prevented further entry. The American brig Fishers Ames, distressed near Hoyle Roads, sought Irish ports but faced heavy seas and a long, draining voyage to Liverpool.
