Folios 10-11. News from Ireland. Letters from Dublin say that the House of Commons had been going through the rates of the poll bill. The House of Lords, instead of framing a supplementary bill of outlawries, have only passed four resolutions embodying their views thereupon. Mssrs Cuthbert and Paris, who were entrusted with making the weights in Ireland, were found guilty of great neglect, and ordered to be taken into custody, dismissed from their employment, and prosecuted. An address has been made to the Lords Justices begging that Colonel Roger Moore, who has a patent for making halfpence, may be obliged to give security to change all halfpences coined, or to be coined, by him during the term of his grant. A bill is to be prepared to prevent the counterfeiting of halfpence.The town of Bandon [Ireland] might be relieved from a debt of £ 1500, contracted at Cork for the ransoming of ten of their principal inhabitants, whom [the Jacobite] Justin McCarty [Viscount Mountcashel] had ordered to be executed. Colonel Hamilton of Tullymore has presented a bill to the House for the encouragement of the linen manufacturing trade. A clause has been added to the bill against 'tories and rapparees', declaring that printed proclamations, wherein any of them are named, and the presentments of the juries shall be admitted as evidence against them.
