    2. Alison Kilpatrick
    3. Transcribed from the 29 August 1828 edition of The Newry Commercial Telegraph newspaper, by permission of The British Library: Embezzlement at Greenwich Hospital.--Apprehension of Mr. Austin. This individual, the particulars of whose recent unfortunate defalcation in his accounts with Greenwich Hospital, in which establishment he had been raised to the post of Deputy Treasurer, appeared on Thursday's Reporter, has been arrested, and is now in custody in this city [Cork]. The arrest was effected by Mr. Young, one of the Peace Officers of Cork, assisted by two of the London Police, in a public house in Limerick, on yesterday morning. They had traced him through Buttevant and Charleville, and it was by the merest chance Mr. Young came up with him, in a bye street in Limerick. On being arrested, Austin did not appear agitated, and intimated his confidence of clearing up the charge to the satisfaction of the Government. He will be transmitted to London in a few days.--Cork Southern Reporter. ========================
