Riots, Stabbings, and Executions Reported in Various Locales
A late report details a fatal stabbing by a farmer after a quarrel at a public house in Dengarvon where Thomas Dunn died from his belly wound. The assailant fled but broke a leg leaping from a window and was arrested. A Antigua letter notes a transport with four companies of the gsc regiment arriving after a long voyage. Affrays at White Boys riots led to six capital convictions with two men to be executed at Gallows-green for arson and ear severing.
