The Dublin Journal prints a new song lamenting a voyage to Ireland's capital. The verses recount procession, taunting crowds, and a promised hall from a noble figure. A speaker refuses a grand claim, jokes about dancing and shoes, and asks for a meal and wine.
Postscript from Dublin detailing the Prince of Wales visit by Grace the Duke of Leinster and other officials, money bills awaiting Royal Assent, potential Parliament dissolution, flour shipments, porter distributions in College-green, rumored costly entertainments, smuggling measures, and a Chancery court motion involving Lord Sherborne and William Naper. It notes fountain construction in Smithfield and a second design by Architect Francis Sandys junior.
Deliberations on extending supply measures loom with government plans for a bill to be introduced by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Despite weather delays in spring sowing, harvest expectations rise if dry conditions prevail and exports already top £500,000. The Lord Chancellor names Rev. Marks Tysdall to Meath JP, while Dublin theatre highlights new pieces at Drury Lane and Covent Garden. Charitable receipts credited to Francis M Dermott estate, with gifts supporting the sick poor in St Nicholas without and St Luke. Deaths noted: William Armstrong of Leitrim and Mrs. Catharine Egan of Beresford-street.
The House reports progress on the Jinen manufacture road project from Drumgrass colliery to Gid Lough with amendments. A leave to bring in a revenue bill is granted to Mr. George Ponsonby. The royal address to the Prince of Wales is read aloud and praised for loyalty and the King’s recovery, with remarks on constitutional energy and support for the Crown.
Debates in the Irish Parliament consider an Address of Thanks to the Prince of Wales after a royal response. Leaders discuss precedents, with Attorney General cautioning over parliamentary rules. A committee is formed to draft the Address and other motions, including revenue measures and hospital returns. The session adjourns after baring indictments in Cork.
An 18th century assembly in Kildare County, including High Sheriff Wogan Brower, unanimously resolves to petition Parliament for reform of licensing public houses and liquor laws. They condemn malt and spirituous beverages abuse, support magistrate power, and thank Parliament for rights of independence, with resolutions to publish in Faulkner's Journal.
