Breakfast Room Verses at Hichard Cosay Esq
Fragment from a 18th century poem praising Mail and Florence, naming Mr Costray and a future tenant. It reflects on art, memory, and the departed muse Hazl, with lines invoking Britannia, Italia, and virtue as it laments friends and patrons in a grand, reflective toast. The language evokes a saloon-like tribute within a noble home.

Ireland at Kilmacud Sessions Trials of Assaults on Children
At the Kilmacud Quarter Sessions John Austen was tried for an attempted rape of a girl under 14, with the child produced and sworn. He received a pillory sentence for an hour, a year’s imprisonment, a ten mark fine, and good-behavior security.
