1764
Feb. 20. - A crowd of people began to dig for money near the new barrack. - (TR)
April 15. - A great number of fellows were at this time in the habit of assembling in Hammond's fields near Blarney, every Sunday evening, many of them armed with swords, &c. in open contempt of magistry, where they divided themselves into two parties in order of battle, and generally maintained a running fight for several hours, in which some of both parties seldom failed of getting broken heads; from thence some of their leaders after their evening's diversion, used to remove the scene of action to the city, and continue rioting the remainder of the night. Before the beginning of the previous war, when knocking down, street robberies and sometimes murder were so frequent here, that the inhabitants were afraid to stir outside their doors after night-fall, it was in these same fields that the ruffians assembled. - (TR)
April 29. - The fellows who assembled this evening according to the sabbath-day custom in Hammond's fields, taking advantage of the army being from town, diverted themselves by throwing the centinel's boxes about the streets and insulting every defenceless person they met. The magazine was broken open the same night. - (TR)
May 1.- Two parties of fellows consisting chiefly of those that had been rioting on the 29th, had a battle around the May-bush, in which several of them were very much hurt, and one died of his wounds. - (TR)
May 14. - Nineteen master barbers were convicted at the quarter sessions, of exercising the functions of their trade on the Lord's day, and ordered to pay a crown for each offence. One of them was found guilty of shaving three persons at a half-penny each, for which he was fined three crowns. They were however excused from paying the fines, upon promising not to offend again in a similar manner. - (TR)
June 15. - About six o clock this morning, a corporal, eight private men, and a constable of the north quarter, who were escorting two prisoners into the city from Blackpool, where they had been apprehended, were desperately attacked by a number of fellows while passing through Mallow-lane, who pelted them with stones, and attempted to rescue the prisoners. The soldiers after several ineffectual efforts to make them desist, were compelled at length for their own preservation to fire at them, by which two men were killed. This put an end to the affair, the rest having dispersed, and the soldiers conducted their prisoners safe to the main-guard, from which they were conveyed to the city gaol. - (TR)
Aug. - Last Saturday John Dinane, a linnen weaver, was whipp'd thro' this city, for unlawful combinations; he is to be confined for some time and whipped again on two market-days.

Her husband was so ill-treated the night of the robbery that he died in some time after. Twomey was convicted of the robbery alone. The general opinion was that he died innocent, in consequence of which the mob brought him from the gallows, in his coffin to the prosecutor's door, where they bled him, took the rope off his neck, threw it into the window, besmeared the door and window shuts with his blood, whist showers of stones were pelted at the windows from every quarter; during this time Mrs. Norton resolutely defended her house, threw the rope into the south river, and fired several shots at the mob, no person was however hurt; a party of soldiers soon came to her assistance, some of whom were left as a guard all night at the house. On the following day, as the executioner was passing through the Main-street, he was attacked by the populace, who followed him a mile out of town, pelting him with sticks and stones by which he was desperately wounded; he was brought on a car by the sheriffs to the South Infirmary.

1768
April 23. - The fishermen of Kinsale, with many others, assembled and broke open a cellar in this town, which contained 250 bags of wheat for transportation, and by the vigilant conduct of the magistrates, it was carried to the public granary, to be disposed of for the public.
At a late hour, two officers of the 53rd regiment, on being repeatedly refused admission into the house now which they were billeted in Mallow-lane, attempted to make good their quarters, and broke some of the windows: while thus engaged, a number of fellows, unconcerned in the affair, assaulted them most violently, and desperately wounded one of them by a stroke with some sharp-edged instrument, by which his skull was severely cut, but not fractured. The other officer, having been several times knocked down, escaped without a wound. While the wounded man was lying on the ground, he perceived a person coming towards him, of whom he requested assistance; but the fellow, after viewing him attentively, gave him three or four kicks and went off. - (TR)
April 28. - For some weeks a great number of idle vagabonds had annoyed the city by assembling in different parts of the suburbs on the sabbath day for the purpose of cutting and hacking, not only one another, but any of the inhabitants who might fall in their way.

May 23. - Rioting had arrived to such a height in the city, that it was supposed that if proper steps were not speedily taken, it would be unsafe for the inhabitants to walk the streets, as the lawless vagabonds who engaged in such riots were most abandoned wretches, who scrupled not to commit any villainy. A number of these gentry assembled in a most riotous manner in Shandon church-yard this evening, but were dispersed upon one of them being shot dead, whether by one of the rioters or by one of the annoyed inhabitants, it was uncertain. There were likewise rioting and unlawful assemblies in other parts of the city, on this and the following day in which several of the rioters were wounded, and innocent people insulted and abused. - (TR)
June 27.- The new road from this city to Blarney, part of the Kanturk Turnpike, was opened and made passable for carriages: in three miles this road was nearly three quarters of a mile shorter than the former one. - (TR)
July 1.- Being the anniversary of the battle of the Boyne, "about a dozen fellows, to use the language of a Cork Newspaper, paraded the city with white lilies in their hats to exhibit their dislike of the above memorable event, but were soon dispersed by some gentlemen who gave them a good canning. An ignorant little fribble, who exhibited himself in Paul-street and Brown-street, with his bosom thus decorated, narrowly escaped a severe discipline, from which nothing but his insignificancy could have protected him." - (TR)
July 4. - The freedom of the city was presented in a silver box to Captain Lucius O Brien, of his majesty's ship Solbay. - (TR)
July 13. - A number of tradesmen of this city, the number of letters in whose Christian names amounted to forty-five, met at a publichouse two miles and one hundred and forty-five yards from thence, where they spent forty-five pence each, and each drank exactly forty-five glasses of punch, which produced forty-five toasts and sentiments, including the glorious memory and a prayer against despotic rulers. - (TR)
July 14.- A number of seamen, belonging to the merchant ships in the harbour, having turned out for an advance of wages, paraded round the streets and quays with music playing, and a flag flying before them. - (TR)

Informations were immediately lodged against him, and a parish constable took him prisoner: he afterwards rescued himself, and nearly murdered the constable, but he was subsequently retaken. - (TR)
