Irish Poor-law and cholera outbreaks across Ireland
Reports from the Irish Poor Law Commission note resignation of head Mr Twistleton. Cholera spreads with Ennis and Limerick cases and Belfast deaths. A Limerick correspondent claims thousands of cases and many daily deaths. Other items mention steamer trial verdicts, Pope rate collections in Meath, Mathew in Dublin, and a grim execution report with a woman briefly trapped on the scaffold.
