The Public Register or Freeman's Journal Dublin, Ireland Tuesday, October 30, 1764 DUBLIN Hugh Hill, Esq; late Collector of Strangford, is appointed Collector of Londonderry, in the Room of Robert Harrison, Esq; who hath resigned. Oct. 24 ] Mr. Sheriff Hart, attended by the City Officers, inspected the several Markets and ins his Progress seized a Quantity of unsound Beef, Mutton and Pork, which were burned on Ormond-Quay. And last Saturday he visited the Markets again, and seized a Quantity of light Bread and unsaleable Meat, which were distributed to the Poor. 26.] At an Adjournment of the Quarters Sessions, Dan. M'Kenzie, a Serjant, in the 59th Regiment, was found Guilty for assaulting Mr. James Hodson, as set forth in this Paper of the 3d of July last. He was fined one Mark, and sentenced to one Month's Imprisonment in Newgate. But on M'Kenzie's begging Mr. Hodson's Pardon in Court, the latter, humanely interceded for him to the Court, to have his Sentence mitigated, when the Court was pleased to reduce the Fine to Six-pence, and his Imprisonment to one Week. - It were to be wished that every Citizen would with equal Spirit and Candour, support the Peace of this City, and maintain the Civil Power. To the Honour of Mr. Hodson, we mention it, that in Court he declared, "His Motive for carrying on this Prosecution was not from any personal Resentment to the Prisoner, but to deter others from disturbing the Peace of the city, and to caution every Order of Men, not to insult the Citizens." And indeed his Conduct has manifested his Intentions. William Kirwan and Anne Sexton were tried and found guilty, at the Commission of Oyer and Terminer, for robbing Peter Malone in Poolbeg-street, and received Sentence of Death. On Saturday last, Michael Lennen, late Servant to Mr. Joseph Rawlins, of Francis-street, was found guilty of robbing his Shop of Goods.

DEATHS.] Died lately near Tuam, after a short illness, the Rev. Mr. Hector Middleton.-- In Caple-Street, Madame Giordani, Mother of the celebrated Signiora Spiletta. A PROCLAMATION By the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor of the City of Dublin. WHEREAS great Numbers of idle Vagabonds and vagrant Beggars, of both Sexes, with a Number of clamorcus Children, are observed to strole about the Streets, and this City is become the common Receptacle of Objects, disfigured and frightful, as well as pretending to be miserable, from all Parts of the Kingdom. And whereas, upon Application to the Governors of the Work-house of this City, they have granted out of their Fund a Supply, for maintaining and employing in Bridewel such Beggars as shall be apprehended and sent thither by my Order, which is now fitted up for their Reception; and all Children of such Beggars will be received into the Work-house, in order to be bred up Protestants, and to Industry. In order to carry the said Scheme effectually into Execution, I do hereby require and command all Constables of this City, Beadles and Constables of the several Parishes of this City, from and after the 10th of November next, to seize upon and take up all Beggars of both Sexes and of all Ages, who shall be found begging and asking Alms in any Part of this City without Badges; and all Shoe-boys and idle vagrant Persons, who shall not betake themselves to Labour, and have no visible Way of getting a Livelihood, and bring them before me, so as they may be committed to Bridewel, and be kept to hard Labour; and I hereby command all such Beggars, &c. to depart from this City before the said Day, for if any be found begging after, they shall be punished with the utmost Rigour of the Law. And as such Beggars are injurious to the Inhabitants of this City, and as the Law has directed and enabled every Housekeeper and Inhabitant of this City, to command the Beadle and Constable of his Parish, under the Penalty of Twenty Shillings, to seize and take up such Beggars. I require that every Housekeeper and Inhabitant, but more particularly the Church Wardens, Sidesmen, and Directors of the Watch, in the several Parishes of this City, will give their Assistance to the Execution of this good Design, and return to me the Names of such Beadle or Constable as shall refuse to obey their Commands in Execution of the same, that I may punish them accordingly. Given at the Tholsel Chamber, the 20th Day of October, 1764. BENJAMIN GEALE. [God Save the King.] Cathy Joynt Labath Ireland Old News http://www.IrelandOldNews.com/
