Anniversary of King George in Dublin Castle
Dublin November observations mark the birth anniversary of His Present Majesty King George. Nobility and judges attend the Lord Lieutenant, with an ode by Mart Pilkington set to Dubourg music, a late ball, and gunfire. The Right Hon. William Connolly dies of apoplexy at Caple Street House. Committees report misconduct by jailers and magistrates, while public petitions urge reform of prisons and coinage debates continue.
