Some Selected Reports from The Dublin Journal
Tuesday June 14, 1796.
DUBLIN, JUNE 14.
The Fleet which sailed from Cork under Convoy of the Laurel Frigate, several of which were supposed to have fallen into the hands of the enemy are almost all arrived at Barbadoes.
The following are the particulars of the affair which gave rise to the statement (or rather mistatement in the English papers of Colonel LENOX having been put in arrest by the Government of Gibraltar, and Major OSWALD having been killed in a duel :- Major OSWALD and Captain USHER of the 64th regiment, hearing the sounds of music and dancing in a tavern, entered it unthinkingly, and offered to join in the dance; among the persons assembled were several officers of the navy, who, in terms no the mildest, refused to admit these Gentlemen among them; and added that it was a private party which ought not to have been intruded on. - The Major and his companion withdrew, observing at the same time, that the Officers of the Garrison had freely and politely admitted the Gentlemen of the Navy into their assemblies : After they had left the house, they were followed by ten or twelve of the persons with whom this conversation passed, who, on coming up with them, knocked down Captain USHER, and afterwards Major OSWALD - Reports were made the next day, by both parties, to the Governor , and no formal measures having been taken in consequence of such reports, Major OSWALD and Captain USHER sent messages to two Pursers of the Navy, who were the most ostensible of the assaliants. Major OSWALD and his adversary fired three shots without effect; Captain USHER unfortunately fell the first shot, the ball entering his head, killed him on the spot. The Governor, to mark his disapprobation of duels on any account, ordered that the funeral should be conducted without military honours. Captain USHER having been deservedly esteemed by the whole garrison, this order was received with dissatisfaction, and obeyed with manifest regret. The morning after his interment, the officers all appeared at parade with black crapes, and among others Col. LENOX; whether any notice was privately taken by the Governor of this mourning parade we cannot say, but certain it is that no notice was taken of it publickly, and the Governor continued his usual rounds of invitations to the several officers, and had conferred an honourable appointment (Field Officer of the Evening Drill) on Col. LENOX, some days after the circumstances above-mentioned had taken place.
Extract of a Letter from a Gentleman in Greenock to his Friend in Edinburgh, June 8th, 1796.
[From the Caledonian Mercury of Thursday, June 9, received by yesterday's post.]
"This morning, after five, the town and coast were alarmed by the appearance of a Dutch frigate of 36 guns and 250 men, that came in off our Road and fired 21 guns. - Eight days ago, on the west coast of Ireland, on her way to the American coast, she took the brig Mary-Anne of Greenock, Capt. Crawford, of ten men, with sugar, cotton, &c. which, after plundering, she sunk, and gave the brig's long-boat to the crew, who went to Ireland
"The Captain of the frigate, whose name is Geo. Duncan, by appearance a Scotchman, refused to give any of the brig's plunder to the men; this caused the mutiny , which was headed by the Boatswain, and assisted by Captain Crawford, who, after getting the Captain and Officers confined, took the command of the frigate, and carried her in here. -- The Officers are brought to town, and are in the principal inn - That part of the crew which did not join to take the frigate were sent on board the tender. It is reported that the Boatswain (who took the command) refuses to give up the frigate, but the wind is against him in case he makes an attempt to run out. An express is sent to Liverpool, as no ships of any force are here. The battery is repairing to be ready to fire in case they attempt to rebel.
"P.S. - The prisoners are removed to the Town-hall, and guarded by the volunteers, as no troops are here."
The Dutch sailors have not as yet shewn any disposition to Sans-Cullotism; on the contrary their aversion to it is so well known, that for several days after the sailing of the Fleet, now laid up in the Canaries, (and the disasters of which are attributed to the want of exertion in the crews) it was believed in Amsterdam that it had been carried into British ports.
The circumstance above stated, though not itself sufficient to found an opinion on, yet taken into consideration with the previous suspicion of the Dutch themselves - the almost unaccountable diversion of the Fleet from the object for which it was ordered to sail - the difficulty with which it was manned - and the length of time which was necessary for its equipment - form a mass of evidence not easily controverted in favour of the loyalty of the Dutch seamen. It is to be observed, that the vessel abovementioned was not in distress, and might have stood the sea, after disposing of the captive officers, without danger from any other ship but British.
The Captains of several Wexford and Waterford sloops arrived yesterday, reports, that on the evening of Friday they saw a British man of war engaged with a French vessel of a much larger size; the action continued all the evening, and was renewed in the morning, (the ships lying close together all night). At eleven o'clock, A.M. the colours of the Frenchman were hauled down, and the firing immediately ceased; the two ships then sailed together across the Channel towards Milford.
On Saturday last a most brilliant superb Fete was given by Lord CLONCURRY, at his beautiful villa, Maritimo, to his Excellency the LORD LIEUTENANT, the COUNTESS CAMDEN, and all the Nobility, and Persons of Distinction in the Metropolis.
The company assembled to a number of 300 at one o'clock, and after having partaken of a magnificent breakfast, were entertained by viewing the singular beauties of Maritimo, and the adjoining improvements of Mr. LEES..
The brilliancy of the scene was much heightened by the fortunate combination of weather and tide to give the boat racing in the harbour, firing off guns, &c. &c. a particularly fine effect.
At two o'clock the delighted guests retired to the tents pitched in the lawn, in which was prepared a most sumptuous dinner.
The entertainment was concluded by dancing both in the house and in the lawn; the Ball was opened by HIS EXCELLENCY and Lady FITZGERALD. Among the company we observed the Lady FITZGERALD, the Marchioness and Countess of ANTRIM, and Lady M'DONNELS, the CHANCELLOR and Countess of CLARE, Earl and Lady ALDBOROUGH, Countesses of CARRICK, CLANWILLIAM, FARNHAM, MOUNTNORRIS and CLONMELL, Lord and Lady CARLETON, Lord and Lady JOCELYN, Lord and Lady MAXWELL, Lords WESTMEATH and BELLAMONT, Colonels CAULFIELD and GLENTWORTH, Sir George SHEE, Hon. Mr. CORRY, Hon. Col. COLE, Col. CROSBIE, Major FORTESCUE, Messrs. CROSBIE, M'CLINTOCK, LEES, FALKINER, FITZGERALD, &c. &c.
Extract of a Letter from Sligo, June 10.
"Saturday last being the 4th of June, and the Birth day of our beloved Sovereign - the same was celebrated here with every possible mark of respect and loyalty. Two troops of the 22d Light Dragoons under the command of Captain Bleakway, and the North Cork Milita under that of Major Lombard ranged in harmony and order on the Mall, and fired the usual rounds. At night the town was most brilliantly illuminated; neither accident or the smallest disturbance occurred to interrupt the general satisfaction upon the occasion."
KING's BENCH
SATURDAY, JUNE 11.
The County Grand Jury, in making their presentments, reported to the Court that the New Gaol at Kilmainnam was nearly ready for the reception of prisoners. They also stated their opinion, that Mr. John M'Kinley, the present gaoler, was an unfit person to be appointed to keep the New Gaol, he having converted part of the materials of the present prison to his own purpose.
The CHIEF JUSTICE, who was in Court, declared that Mr. M'Kinley had been appointed on his principal's coming into office, because he was found to be the Gaoler, and had been so without impeachment for eight and twenty years.
Mr. M'Kinley himself who attended the Court, assured their Lordship's that the Grand Jury had only anticipated his wishes in desiring his removal; he had held the office for some time part only in compliance with the Sheriff's desire, until another person could be appointed. He had been twenty-eight years in the office, and in the course of that time none of his Sheriffs had ever been fined so much as six-and-eight-pence by any default of his : He had out of a salary of �35 per annum to provide almost every necessity for the security of the gaol, bolts, shackles, &c. &c. For several years back, the Grand Juries in contemplation of the New Gaol, had neglected to make any provision for keeping up the old one; in consequence of this, great part of that building had fallen into compleat ruin, some of the rubbish of this ruin he had carried away (about a cart full), and this was the only charge the Grand Jury could bring against him. In their desire to remove him, what their object was he could very well guess; but he was very glad to of being relieved from the care such a building, in which no kind of comfort or convenience was provided for the unfortunate prisoners, or any security against escape, save what he could afford to provide, out of thirty-five pounds a-year. He had long determined not to enter on the New Gaol upon such a salary, and would adhere to that resolution; he would, however for the sake of his Sheriff, remain in office until he should deliver up a regular schedule of his prisoners, and every other matter in his custody.
Of this last resolution the Court was pleased to approve.
At the monthly flannel market at Rathdrum, on Monday last, there was a great quantity of goods for sale, but on account of the very high prices which were asked, those who purchased bought only what they were in immediate want of, and a great number of pieces were brought out of the marked unsold.
