NEWS & REPORTS TAKEN FROM THE 'HIBERNIAN CHRONICLE,' (HC) & TUCKEY'S CORK REMEMBRANCER (TR)

Rioting is now become so common that it is scarce safe for innocent people to stand at their doors without some weapon of defence, a most glaring instance of which appeared last Saturday evening: Four peaceable persons near the Exchange (two of whom women, and with-child) were insulted, cut and beat by one Mat Reily, journeyman saddler, a most notorious offender, who severally came up to them armed with a knife, hammer, and stick, and used them as above, for no other reason, than bidding him go about his business. Information was immediately lodged against him, and a parish constable after having taken him, narrowly escaped being murdered by the said Reily, who rescued himself from justice. Previous to his being taken, the constable made application at the Main-guard for a party of the army to assist him, but was refused. However the rioter was soon after re-taken, and carried before a fitting justice, and it is hoped he will be made a public example of.

Last Monday some inhuman savages forcibly took a bull in the North Suburbs, and after having driven him through the city with dogs, had him beaten in like manner in the South Suburbs for some hours, when the tormented creature ran from their carnage again into the city, which obliged the inhabitants to shut up their shops and put an end to all business; the bull being unable to proceed farther than Broad-lane, was there and near the Exchange beaten by dogs and their brother-brutes armed with sticks, for near five hours, and after having frighted four pregnant women into fits, tossed a horse near as high as a sigh-post, threw a decripled beggar and a standing of stockings into the kennel, gave up the remains of his tortured life in a narrow lane, much to the disappointment of his savage persecutors and to the loss of his owner, on whom justice calls aloud to demand redress.

Yesterday the Lord Bishop of Corke and Ross held his annual visitation of the Clergy of this diocese, at the cathedral of St. Finbarry.

June 7.- For two months past there were upwards of 300 sail of French fishing vessels, some of them of two hundred tons, on the western coasts of this kingdom, where they met with great success in the mackerel fishery, which it was thought was the cause of the great scarcity of fish which was then experienced, by the poor in particular. – (TR)
June 11. - Some inhuman savages forcibly took a bull in the north suburbs, and after having driven him through the city with dogs, had him baited in the south suburbs for some hours, when the tormented creature ran from "their carnage" back into the city, which obliged the inhabitants to shut up their shops, and put an end to all business: the bull being unable to proceed father than Broad Lane, was there and near the Exchange baited by dogs, and their brother brutes armed with sticks, for near five hours; and after having frightened four pregnant women into fits, tossed a horse nearly as high as a sign-post, threw a decrepid beggar and a standing of stockings into the kennel, gave up the remains of its tortured life in a narrow lane, much to the disappointment of his savage persecutors and to the loss of his owner. There was a similar practice of baiting bulls through the town of Dublin: In a newspaper of Nov. 20, 1749, we find the following paragraph, "Several persons were committed to Newgate for taking bulls from poor countrymen and driving them mad about the streets of Dublin, to the great detriment of their owners, and the hazard of the lives of the inhabitants of that city." – (TR)

As the Season for beans and peas has commenced, it is recommended in the strongest manner to all vendors of them, to be particularly careful not to throw their shells in the foot-paths, which will prevent the many unhappy accidents that otherwise might happen by an inattention to this necessary precaution. The greatest number of the hawkers who deal in those articles, after shelling a quantity of pease and beans, inconsiderately deposit their shells directly under passengers feet; but, for the safety of the lives and limbs of the inhabitants, it is hoped the House and Shopkeepers will take proper care to have all such offenders apprehended and brought to justice.

On the night of the same day, other persons who expected goods dispatched messengers to meet their Carrs in order to direct them a contrary road, but the mob suspecting their intention way laid them and forcibly took one Carr laden with Goods, and were carrying off the same, but by the activity of a C .... and two soldiers who were quartered on him, they pursued the Fellows and retook the Goods. Last Tuesday night about 2 o clock began one of the heaviest showers of Rain ever remembered, which continued for three hours with such violence that a boat could swim in some of the streets, there was likewise a great fall of Rain yesterday morning, which, with that of the preceding night, gave reason to apprehend the Corn would have been lodged thereby; but as the Rains appears not to have been general, this apprehension is removed. It is very remarkable, that at the time we had the great fall on Tuesday night, there was not a drop of rain within two miles of this city, on the North side.

A Correspondent, who declares himself a lover of the fair sex, has sent us the following recipe for changing red hair to a beautiful brown, or jet black, viz, black lead and ebony shavings, each one ounces; let there boil an hour in a pint of clear water; when fine, bottle it for use.

The particulars brought by Mr. Potter, the Courier to Spain, not having transpired in the packet of the 9^th, we were unwilling but to delay publication on an event which was expected would determine WAR or PEACE. This unavoidable delay, we hope will be excused by our kind subscribers.

Last night an order arrived here from the War-office, for the 61^st regiment to be embarked for England, which with the 51^st being the two destined for Minorca, it is thought will immediately sail, upon the arrival of the vessels to carry them to Spithead, there to be taken under convoy of the grand fleet, and carried safe through the Mediterranean, to their place of destination.

By several private letters from England, we learn, that people in general are under the greatest apprehensions lest the plague, which now rages on the banks of the Vistula, in the neighbourhood of Dantzick, should be unfortunately brought over by some of their trading ships. As we likewise carry on a considerable trade with Dantzick, every means that human prudence can suggest, should be used to preserve us from that dreadful calamity.

This morning a tormented beast was beaten through the Main street, Castle-street, quays, &c. for a considerable time, to the terror of the inhabitants; a man was thrown by the bull against a car, and narrowly escaped being killed. If some stop is not speedily put to this barbarous practice, the country people will be deterred from bringing their bulls to market, as they are generally forced from them, contrary to justice, by those wicked miscreants." – (TR)

The following Exhortation was read yesterday, in all the Roman Catholic Chapels in this city. - “It is with deepest concern, dearly beloved Brethren, we observe that a riotous spirit has of late manifested itself amongst some orders of journeymen tradesmen of this city, who in open defiance to all laws divine and human, and in contempt of lawful authority, have dared to assemble in numerous bodies, and march in such a tumultuous manner through the city, for their wicked and audacious purposes, as to alarm the peaceable good inhabitants thereof, who could not but apprehend the worst consequences from a mob so infatuated and ill disposed as to commit, under the most shameful and absurd pretexts, the most heinous excesses and robberies, in cutting, burning, spoiling and carrying off the goods, wares and merchandize of their fellow subjects and fellow citizens on the public roads and even in their houses, which they forcibly entered. - And whereas the journeymen coopers viewing the impunity with which the journeymen weavers [notoriously?] assembled and carried on their villainous proceeding, have from the same evil spirit of riot and disorder assembled together to enter into giddy and detestable resolutions, tending to the prejudice, it not only to the total ruin of the trade of this city, consequently to the utter ruin of themselves, their wives and children, and have taken on themselves to print and publish the same, couching them in terms so dictatorial and absolute as nothing but their presumptuous insolence and folly can account for.

Now, in order to put a stop, as far as in .. lies, to such enormities and excesses, we do hereby, in the name of Almighty God, in our quality of Pastors, strictly charge and command all such of our flock, as deluded by the artifices of the Devil, might have joined, aided, or abetted such dangerous and illegal proceedings, to make all possible atonement and satisfaction to the injured public by a most exemplary, quiet, and peaceable behaviours, and as an inviolable veneration for the laws in future; to restore to the honest proprietors all such goods, wares and merchandize as they have stolen; to make full and ample restitution, as far as they are, in any sort able, to all such as have suffered by the spoiling, burning, cutting or destroying their goods; all which we enjoin them to the performance of, as they tender their eternal salvation; and further, to separate themselves from all such as may be wicked enough to continue depredations and combinations, so destructive to their own and their families good, so obnoxious to the public peace, and so subversive to the prosperity of the trade of this city, declaring at the same time, that, should any of our flock and communion, be found, notwithstanding our earnest exhortations and inunctions, to join in, or enter into any such outrages and illegal acts or confederacies, they shall be looked upon as rebellious children - as rotten Members unworthy our Communion; and as such, shall be public ally denounced excommunicated, from all the altars in our places of public worship.

But no - obedient to the voice of religion and reason, penetrated with a hearty detestation of past excesses, We hope to see them give to their fellow tradesmen and citizens of every other profession or denomination, the example of perfect obedience to the laws of the land, and of submission to the rulers that God has placed over them: and should the Lord think proper to chastise them for their sins, by a stagnation in the different branches of their respective trades, and the miseries that commonly attend the like, instead of flying in the face of Providence, as they have heretofore, by joining in combinations, linked together, by the most execrable oaths and supported by drunkenness and debauchery, they will kiss the paternal hand that strikes them for their good, and suffer with Christian patience and resignation the tryals they are visited with; thus they will appease the wrath of God, satisfy his injured justice, and instead of those curse they entail on themselves and their families, by their criminal excesses they will draw down blessings from Heaven and merit a share, hereafter, in the Kingdom of eternal glory, which God has promised to the righteous, and to all that suffer in this life for justice same. Amen.”

Now, in order to bring such offenders to punishment, ordered that a reward of ONE HUNDRED GUINEAS be paid out of the Corporation Revenues, to any person or persons, who shall, within twelve months, discover and prosecute to conviction, any person concerned in said riot, shall prosecute any of his accomplices, he shall be entitled to said reward, and application be made for his pardon, was read and agreed to. Dated as above. By the Court, JOHN LANE Deputy Town Clerk,

SIR, YESTERDAY on reading a paper called an Introduction to your Narrative, being standing with some friends in the street, where stood near us your active cousin and friend, with two other persons, to us unknown, says one to your friend, ‘you told me you had secured all the papers relative to this affair.’ ‘I thought I had,’ says your friend, ‘I in my own hands, what shall I do? only hear what noise it makes, I can’t bear it.’ ‘Pray,’ says the other, ‘how did you bear the other affair as bad as this with my advice.’ ‘I was not half so public, nor the person we plucked half so pitied or liked. This is likely to be the surest job I ever met.’ ‘True,’ says the third person, ‘is to plain to be denied; yet, tell the public you can prove a tender of the weekly payments. See what that will do.’ ‘Man,’ replied your friend, ‘this has only confirmed the whole. Come let us have some old brandy, it’s always my cordial, on these occasions it gives me new spirits.’ They then went down a narrow passage near Broad-lane, not far from which I see a man walking backward and forward in his shop, having death pictured in his face. Says I, ‘that poor man seems to be in much trouble.’ ‘So he ought, 'says my friend,’ he and his wife being the principal contrivers and sharers of the affair mentioned in that paper in your hands.’ Then standing closer, hearing him mention Green, Green, Green, ‘who thought this affair would be taken half so much notice of. What shall I do?’ Thinks I to myself, may all the work of darkness be thus brought to light, let me be in the Porter-house, Coffee-house, or any parts of the city, your affairs as the whole subject of discourse. N.B. Keep your papers regularly posted in all the public places of this city. March 5

MR. NASON requests the public may suspend their judgements anti Mr. Green’s, or rather the person’s narrative (who is well known by the name of P---- of the M--) shall be concluded; when they may be assured that a full and satisfactory answer shall be published. March 5

WILLIAM GREEN not only thus publically acknowledges his Narrative, but rests his whole demand on the truth thereof, and for the further conviction of a ___n, Mr. Southwell’s letter, mentioned therein, is to be seen at the Bar of the British Coffee-house; also acquaints the public of a certiorari being obtained in order to gain time, and present a speedy issue. March 5.

The evening of yesterday was concluded a most pious and devout manner, by the warlike sons and daughters of Fair-lane and Blackpool, who met in a large field near Fair hill, and encountered till night came on. The females were armed plentifully with stones, and the male combatants, according to the Cherokee custom, with Tomohawks of a new construction, which are about four feet long and dextrously contrived that by having a hook and spear at the end such as they should miss grappling, they will be sure to stab with the sharp point. - Among the different tribes of Indians we hear of battles similar to these, but surely no civilised nation or corporate city can boast of such riotous proceedings, from persons who can bear neither prosperity or adversity nor dread the imprecations of their pastors nor the rod of magistracy too long with held with impunity.

March 7. - A man was killed in an affray this night at the height of Newgate, i.c. the upper part of Mallow-lane. – (TR)
March 8.- One of the centinels at Southgate was knocked down by three desperadoes who, were it not for the noise of passengers approaching, would have thrown him over the bridge, but dread of apprehension made them run off. The evening of the same day, to use the words of the newspaper, was concluded in a most pious and devout manner by the warlike sons and daughters of Fair Lane and Blackpool, who met in a long field near Fair hill and fought with one another till night came on. The females were armed plentifully with stones, and the male combatants according to the Chewkee custom, with tomahawks of a new construction, which were about four feet long, and so dexterously contrived, having a hook and spear at the end, that any who missed grappling were sure to stab with the sharp end. – (TR)
Mar. 12.- Orders were sent over to Ireland to make a draught of 20 men from each regiment in that kingdom, who were to march with all expedition for Kinsale, to embark for Quebec. – (TR)

Same day, according to weekly custom, the Fair lane and Blarney lane combatants met at Parkmore, and after an engagement for some house, one Kelly received a stab from a tomohawk, which we described in a former paper, by which he was instantly killed, and many on both sides wounded.

WE the FOREMAN and GENTLEMEN of the GRAND JURY for these Lent Assizes, holden for the county of the city of Cork, to shew our sense of the service done to the community in general; by bringing to justice JOHN and WILLIAM DONOVAN two notorious disturbers of the Peace of this city, do thus publickly give our Thanks to Mr. John Thomas Patterson, for his spirited prosecution of those two robbers and rioters.

WHEREAS Abigal Shea, otherwise Welsh my wife, hath wasted and purloined my substance, and behaved to me so dishonest, that I give this public notice that no person may credit her on my account. Given under my Hand this 16^th day of April, 1772. JOHN WELSH – X his Mark

Many were dangerously wounded, two of whom are since dead, viz. Mathew Carrol, and John Shea: many others are despaired of. - This morning, a Blackpool man was seized by some of the Fair-lane boys, and would have been cruelly used, but for the interposition of two gentlemen, who endeavoured to pacify them; and allegations being made, that the prisoner, one Horogan, was of the party who killed the deceased, he was therefore committed to North Gaol.

WHEREAS the Journeymen Coopers of this City, have, in open defiance of the Laws, turned out from their Employers, and entered into Combinations, highly prejudicial to Trade, and manifestly tending to the ruin of themselves and their families: The Committee of Merchants, in order to prevent the inconveniences which may arise from their persisting in such wicked and destructive Schemes; and to enable the masters to weed out from amongst them, the drunken, idle Vagabonds, who have misled their deluded brethren, and seduced them from their Duty, to the Community, and their helpless Wives and Children, now perishing through Want by their misdoings, do hereby offer a reward of Two Guineas a Man, to the first Two Hundred Journeymen Coopers, who will at any time from the Date hereof, to the First Day of October nest, come from any part of Great Britain or Ireland, to settle in this City, and also Half a Guinea for every Apprentice such Copper May bring with him, who has served one year or more to the trade, as by his indenture must appear. And least any Journeymen Coopers, otherwise disposed to accept of this encouragement, should be intimidated by the threats of the dissolute abandoned Fellows, who are traitorously attempting to destroy that trade which has hitherto supported them and their families, we do hereby promise them every protection that the Laws of the Land, supported by the Civil Magistrates, and the aid of the army, and the risk of our own lives can give them, and we do offer a reward of Ten Guineas for apprehending and prosecuting to conviction each of the first Ten Persons, who shall dare to assault, or any way injure or molest any Cooper who may come to settle in this City, in consequence of this advertisement. Said rewards to be paid by Mr. G .... Fehrman, Treasurer to the Committee. Cork, May 4, 1772. Francis Carleton, President of the Committee.

LEAST Honor Lyne, otherwise Brown, should attempt ruining me in debt, I do hereby caution the public from crediting her on my account, as I will not pay any Debts contracted by her. Given under my hand at Gurtrough the 12^th Jan, 1772. THOMAS BROWN

WE, the undernamed Master Taylors of the City of Cork, think proper, in this public manner, to acquaint such Gentlemen as favour us with their custom, that any delay which their work may meet with, is not, in the least, owing to our Neglect, but to the unlawful Combinations entered into by our Journeymen, who not content with an application to Court, on Tuesday the 5^th day of May inst. for a determination of their wages, but insist on Two Shillings per Week over the award of the Court. Now, as an encouragement to said Journeymen to return peaceably to their work, we do hereby promise each of them One Shilling per Week, over and above the sum awarded by the Court, which was seven shillings per Week; Wages, we think rather more than sufficient, in proportion to the prices we have as undertakers; and, such of them as do not think proper to return to their work, after this Notice, and Encouragement, may be assured, we shall take every legal method to oblige them to a compliance. Given under our hands, this 7^th day of May, 1772 - Robert Skolfield, John Forbes, Dennis M’Carthy, Michael Foley, Robert Armstrong, James Barry.

MR. HEAPHY, with the greatest gratitude, acquaints his friends, and the public in general, of this respectable City, that his ardent and invariable endeavours shall be employed, in conducting, with decency, and regularity, their Dramatic Entertainments; and, to that end, he is resolved to spare no necessary expense in the immediate repairs and decorations of the Theatre, in order to render it, for the future, as elegant as it appeared before it was acerated and almost destroyed, by occasionally renting to outre & exotic exhibitions, for which it was never originally intended, either by the Managers, or those Gentlemen who so generously subscribed to this elegant and magnificent establishment.

The publication of this last remark, is occasioned by an Advertisement which Mr. Saunders circulated through the City, wherein he seems to complain, that Mr. Heaphy positively refused renting him the Theatre; and, in which he insinuates, that the intended repairs of other public edifices, will prevent his exhibiting in them; but, takes no notice of instructions to the same effect which Mr. Heaphy has sent to his Carpenter, in the very letter which conveyed a refusal to Mr. Saunders.

Mr. Heaphy has not the smallest apprehension, but that the lovers of the Drama, in general, and those gentlemen, in particular, interested in the property of the Theatre, will approve of his conduct, every part of which, he shall, with the most unreserved satisfaction, and respect, always submit to the candour of their judgements and instructions. May 11

A few days ago arrived in this city, from the warlike English Chickasha nation, on the river Mississippi, but lastly from London, Mr. James Adair, who is the only old trader now alive of his nation. This Gentleman having been 36 years among the Indians, has written Essays on the Origin, Language, Religion, and religious Rites, Priests of Magi, Customs, civil Policy, the Methods of making War and Peace, Military Laws, Agriculture, Buildings, Excercies, Spirits, Marriage and Funeral Ceremonies, Habits, Temper, &c. of the Indians in general. His methods have been perused, and well approved of by the learned of America, many of whom received subscriptions for him; for from the Author’s intimate acquaintance with the different Indian nations for so long a period, with his genius in comparing their language and customs with those of the Orientalists, his narratives are copious, and curiously interspersed with criticisms of a very interesting nature; besides, they contain many useful observations relative to the advantages arising to Great Britain from her trade with those nations, and the best method of conciliating and improving their affections to our general advantages.

Mr. Adair's business to Cork was not to solicit subscriptions; but being in London a few weeks ago, was persuaded by a sharper, who went by the name of Captain Redmond Magra, and by wicked insinuations got acquainted with Mr. Adair, to let him have these manuscripts to shew Lord Camden, Edmond Burke, Esq; Mr. Wiles and many others, and afterwards faithfully promised to deliver them to a printer for publication; but instead of conveying them where he promised, eloped to Dublin, and from thence to this city, where he was pursued by the Author, and secured last Monday night at his lodgings near the Old Drawbridge, and the production of many years laborious study recovered by the owner, from this notorious importer.

This work will make two handsome volumes in octavo. The price half a guinea; 5s 8 1/2 d. to be paid at subscribing, and the remainder on delivery. - Subscriptions taken in by the Author, at the Exchange Coffee House, where the manuscripts may be seen.

WHEREAS an advertisement being inserted in the Cork Evening Post, by some Carpenters, who stile themselves Masters, charging the Journeymen Carpenters of the city of Cork, with a Combination, for insisting on 13. 10d. per day, the wages ascertained and allowed them by the Court, the 4th day of May last, on account of the exorbitant price of provisions, and the great charges they always use at in purchasing tools. Now, we the Journeymen Carpenters of the said City, in order to lay the whole matter before the publick, do declare that the said masters were perfectly satisfied and reconciled to allow us the said 1s 10d a day, pursuant to the order of the Court, on condition that we would all enter into a Combination with them the said masters and support them in getting 2s 6d a day wages for themselves, and to support them also in charging 2s 1d per day for our work by which they would have 3d per day by each Journeyman which proposals of the said Masters appeared to us unreasonable that we all absolutely refused concurring in so unjust a demand; and we do believe that our non compliance is the cause of us being thus distressed by the said Masters; and we do also then publickly acquaint the Gentlemen of the said City, that we are willing to work and conduct any business for the said Gentlemen at 1s 10d per day and will prove our capacities equal in every respect, if not superior, to any of these people who call themselves Masters. June 8

Cork, June 22, 1772

THE Master Coopers of the City of Cork (thankful to the Committee of Merchants for the encouragement offered by them to Journeymen Coopers to come to work to this city) do offer a further reward of one Guinea to every Journeyman cooper from any part of Great Britain or Ireland, coming to this city to work before the first day of October next, and an encouragement of full work as long as they continue agreeable to the laws of the land, and will to the utmost of our power defend them, and their Apprentices from any Assault that may be offered to them by any person whatsoever.

He was the only trader with that nation then alive, had been 36 years amongst the Indians, and had written essays on the origin, language, religion, &c. of the Indians in general, his business here was in consequence of the following circumstances; being in London a few weeks before he arrived here, he was persuaded by a sharper, who went by the name of captain Redmond Magra, to let him have his manuscripts to shew lord Camden, Mr. Burke, Mr. Wilkes and others, and promised faithfully to deliver them afterwards to a printer for publication; but instead of doing so, he eloped to Dublin and from thence to this city, whither he was pursued by the author, and secured on the 8th of June at his lodgings near the old drawbridge; and the production of many years laborious study was thus recovered by the owner. – (TR)

WANTE (sic) - A Partner in the Matrimonial Stage; for Life, to set out, by way of Scotland as soon as the necessary preliminaries are settled. The advertiser, upon enquiry, will be found by Birth a Gentleman, by Profession a Soldier, by Principle a Man of Honour, and by Constitution more of the Masculine than Feminine Gender, with a small dash of the Macaroni. He is now in the meridian of life, his stature five feet nine inches, his limbs nervous and well-proportioned, his shoulders broad, not round. While he thus sketches the outlines of his person, candour obliges him to acknowledge a mediocrity in fortune; and prudence directs he should not unite his concerns with a lady that is not possessed of a competency, to defray the expenses of so long a journey. Meer wealth, however, cannot induce him to travel with age or deformity; for, though he does not require the beautiful, he cannot dispense with the agreeable. Any lady disposed to make this trip, is requested to leave a line, with her Address, &c. for M.A. at Mr. Flyn's shop near the Exchange, Cork. N.B.

His wife Catherine died in 1784, leaving two sons and seven daughters. His eldest daughter Jane, who had the distinction of being the only lady silversmith in Cork, married on 6 August 1791 in St. Peters Church, Cork to Terry's apprentice John Williams (born 15 August 1771) whose parents, Samuel Williams and Elizabeth Evans were married in Oct. 1768.

His widow, Jane Williams (Terry's daughter), who lived at Grand Parade, Cork, who had continued business as a silversmith, sent many silver pieces to be assayed in Dublin, where she registered a mark in 1806, carried on in partnership with her father until Carden Terry's death on 16 July 1821 aged 79. Jane Williams died on 17 April 1845. The business had closed soon after Carden Terry's death. (Information from Wynne Parker)
