My next from the New Tipperary, whither I journey viâ Kildare, Kilkenny, and Limerick, en route for Cork and the Blood-taxed Kerry, where Kerry cows are cut and carved. Now meditation on marauding moonlighters makes melancholy musing mine. Limerick, April 11th. No. 8. Tipperary is Irish, and no mistake.
Despite the efforts of traitors on both sides of the Channel, that Irish Parliament has not yet been summoned. The parish priest, Mr. Sheehy, stopped the Limerick hunting, and so took £24,000 a year out of the pockets of the very poor.
