Disturbances in Lurgan and global 19th century news
Rioting in Lurgan left one man stabbed as police faced stone throwing. At Old Bailey the grand jury was told of two murder charges and numerous manslaughters. News covers Dr Carlyle's death, 16,000 tons of Cleveland pig iron orders, Glasgow's shrinking population, and 1879 trade distress. Reports from Edinburgh, Paris, Vienna, and broader European affairs follow in a dense news digest.
