Transcribed from the 29 January 1824 edition of The Enniskillen Chronicle & Erne Packet newspaper, by permission of The British Library: Whereas in the month of November, 1822, two men, lunatics, were embarked at New York, on board the schooner Mary Ann, of St. John's [sic], New Brunswick, in the care of a person calling himself Kelly, professing that he was on his way to Ireland with the said Lunatics, where their fathers resided, and were wealthy men. On the passage to Halifax the Vessel touched at Edgar Town, in the Island of Martha's Vineyard, in the State of Rhode Island, where Kelly landed with the Lunatics, and deserted them there in a very destitute condition. Being unable to give any account of themselves, they were taken care of by the Overseers of the Poor, and sent to Boston, where the British Consul obtained admittance for them into the Lunatic Asylum at Charlestown, in that vicinity, where they still remain at the charge of the British Government. The names of the men are James and Jacob, but their Surnames are not known; it is supposed that they arrived at New York by the Albany steam-boat, and it is said that Kelly acknowledged he had received 400 dollars to take charge of the men. Any persons who can give information in regard to these men, are requested to state the same to the Lords of the Treasury, Whitehall, London; or to the British Consul, at New York. N.B.--The descriptions of the persons of the Lunatics have not been received. ========================
