Thursday night, Mr. Chief Constable Woodburn, of the County Limerick Police, with Serjt. Clements and a party of the City Police, succeeded in arresting a gang of Coiners at full work, in the  house of Robert Irwin, licensed spirit retailer, at the extremity of Clare-street. An excellent specimen of the base silver crown (half crowns and shillings) lies at our Office, which was found in the possession of the offenders.— Robert Irwin, John Scally, otherwise Swanky, Honora Madden, and Patrick Kirwan, are fully committed for trial.
