Notorious Irish Robbery and Double Murder Report
In a night of bold crime in Limerick and surrounding areas, armed robbers entered the dwelling of Mr. Reddan in Upper Cornwallis, seizing cash and goods while injuring servants and residents. A later raid on Mr. Sparling’s home at Patrick’s Well escalated to gunfire and a brutal assault, with a girl sustaining injuries and a man killed. The incidents draw scrutiny of local watchmen and workers tied to Mr. Miel dan’s store, and authorities report multiple casualties and ongoing inquiries in Kilkenny and surrounding districts.
