Rebellion and Robbery through Wicklow Bandit Leadership
The narrative recounts a rebel leader famed for courage and local Wicklow ties who, after ambling through service under Alderman Freming, led a party that stopped a Cork mail coach near Kilcullen. Passengers were coerced into surrender, yet the leader took only one guinea from each captive, with Mr. Dudgeon of Dublin reporting his sixty guinea parcel. The tale portrays the banditti as moderate in loot and driven by rapine.
