Murdered Clergymen Protest Carrick-on-Suir Death
A Carrick-on-Suir protest exposes a misstatement about Rev. Grady killed in 1829. The account from 76th and 65th regiment rioters notes Grady died after a street accident and crowd unrest. The letter lists local Protestants and Catholics defending truth amid sensational Irish violence coverage. An idle colonization plan jokes about making roads so bad outsiders abandon town.
