Convict Notes
The Riot in Limerick took place against a backdrop of the potato crop failing, bringing higher food costs and shortages and the cost of oatmeal increasing greatly... RIOTS IN IRELAND. A serious riot, arising from their urgent distresses, took place last week in the city of Limerick, among the town orders who assembled in thousands, and made attacks on several stores,, where they did damage to the amount of 10,000£. The following particulars are abridged from the Limerick Evening Post. At an early hour on Friday morning the population of the old town was seen moving in groups, giving the most alarming indications of mischief. After uniting to the number of several thousands, they first rushed in a torrent to the Black-water Mill-stores, belonging to Mr. Caswell, of George's-quay, where they effected very little; but they afterwards stopped four or five car-loads of oatmeal on Thomond-bridge, belonging to the same gentleman in which they took off. They then proceeded to Arthur's-quay, where they plundered a large quantity of meal, proceeding for Olin and Kilrush (amounting in all to over four tons), all of which instantly disappeared in various directions. The whole garrison is in motion. The mob next attacked Mr. Hogan's mill, Lock-quay, which they plundered of a great quantity of flour, and otherwise greatly injured the premises, by breaking the doors, destroying the windows, and taking bread and even the dough out of the bakery. They next took a quantity of flour out of a boat at the Long-dock, belonging to Mr. Hewson, of Bally-England, with which they made off in every direction. …. Trade’s Free Press, 3 July 1830.
