Plight of Markets and Calm Amid Calamities Across Ireland
A long, dense eighteenth century column reports on price disputes, market duties, and port trade in Armagh Mayo and Waterford. It notes openings of schools in Armagh, a fire damaging estates, burglaries near Dublin, river drownings, and threats to public order. It references canal trade, export bans, and a push for regular market hours to curb price extortion. It ends with a Waterford birth notice for the wife of George Le Hunte.
