ABSTRACT

The Lord Mayor, with that promptness for which he has ever been distinguished; summoned the attendance of the whole City Polite. Information having been received by Lord Sidmouth and the Lord Mayor, that an insurrection was to have taken place last night in London, every necessary step was taken to prevent such an occurrence, if it were indeed seriously contemplated. In the Daily Freeman’s Journal of the 8th of January, 1812, it is set forth, that about eight days ago, a meeting was held of the Trustees of the Charity-school, belonging to the Catholic chapel in Church Street. The party returned to Cork and Bandon, fatigued and harassed, and the alarm of the poor country people was changed into mirth at the fools’ errand upon which the sheep-stealer had sent the cavalry garrisons of Cork and Bandon.
