Repeal of the Union toast spurs Cork charity tensions

A Morning Post summary notes a large dinner list in Limerick with 53 priests, one magistrate, nine Protestants and no MPs. In Cork, a charity dinner may be hit as committee members withdraw after learning the toast will be Repeal of the Union. Elsewhere, Loch Shiel herring yields £2,000 value, unwanted manure fodder, a remarkable ewe at Hasells, and a road letter-bag service replaces coaches on a Leicester to Shaw Lane route. The Old Bailey sentence for a condemned man is commuted to life transport, per home office notice.
