A listing describes mail and stage coach establishments on the Limerick, Dialway, Shi, Fun, and Westport Roads with related depots and coaches connected to Dublin routes. It notes security for payments and sale of whole establishment or parts, with contact at Bourne, 44 Dywauuatree, Uablig, and mentions spice and warehousing activities.
The Dublin Journal notes the House of Commons approved the original resolutions by Mr. Re Hon. Ronet Peen and fixed a date for resuming cash payments.

In Parliament debate on an Ireland survey, Mr Dutchester seeks leave for a general survey bill to equalize taxation. Mr Foster favors a detailed map, while Mr Cragen proposes a joint Statistical Survey with Navy and Ordnance, arguing it would be cheaper and effective.

The speakers express optimistic views on Ireland’s progress and urge perseverance to unlock the country’s potential.
