Turbulent streets and a rogue Irish giant in a muddled tale
The piece mixes warnings about dangerous decaying buildings in the city with scattered notices. It mentions a collapse risk near Sycamore alley, reports a ship Friends-Good Will from Newcastle arriving at Cork, and references a rebellion quelled with a later pardon offer except for Captain Shes. It also recounts Kilkenny’s famed giant, Finmacoule, and a tale of Roger Byrge. Further items include patent changes in Ireland, portraits of public figures, and local notices on trades and marriages.
