relatives, the props of unhappy in- 
digence or helpless age—and of 
granting pecuniary rewards, or ho- 
nourable badges of distinction, for 
successful exertions of valour or 
merit. 
JV. That a subscription, embrac- 
ing all the objects in the foregoing 
resolution, be now opened; and, to 
set an example to the public bodies 
throughout the united kingdom and 
its dependencies, and to our fellow- 
subjects, of every class and denomi- 
nation, that, independently of our 
individual contributions, the sum of 
20,000I. three per cent. consolidated 
annuities, part of the funded pro-

stant, at 12 o’clock precisely, a ge- 
neral meeting of the subscribers to 
this fund be held at this house, for 
the purpose of appointing their 
committee; and that the committee 
of the house be requested to become, 
and they are hereby constituted a 
committee, ad inéerim, for the re- 
ceipt and management of the sub- 
scriptions, and other purposes ex- 
pressed in these resolutions. 
VI. That the committee of this 
house, and the bankers in the me- 
tropolis, and in the cities and towns

to receive subscriptions ; and that 
such part of the fund as shall not be 
_ used tor the purposes now intended, 
be retarned, in proportion to the 
sums subscribed. 
VIL. That all sums, however

description. 
Vill. That the thanks of this 
ANNUAL REGISTER, 1808.

23d. A number of persons, armed 
with muskets and pikes, assembled 
in the evening in a quarter of Dub- 
lin that is called the Liberties, and, 
after committing some other out- 
rages, attacked, in his carriage, 
Jord chief-justice Kilwarden, and 
his nephew, the rev. Richard Wolfe, 
both of whom the_ruffians inhu- 
manly murdered on the spot, and 
several other persons were despe- 
rately wounded. The confusion that 
ensued is more easily to be con- 
ceived than described. General 
consternation and terror ‘immedi- 
ately pervaded the whole of the city; 
the drums beat to arms, the military 
were called out, but, in the mean 
time, the perpetrators of the horrid 
deed disappeared. On the same 
night, the mail-guard was attacked 
between Dublin and Naas, and, in 
consequence of the resistance that 
was made, two dragoons are stated 
to have been killed. 
24th. This morning, soon after 
2 o’clock, a fire broke out at Mr. 
Solomon’s, broker and appraiser, 
Castle-street, Broker-row, Long- 
acre, which burnt with great fury 
for upwards of an hour, and en- 
tirely consumed the house before any 
water could be procured; but, be- 
ing surrounded by strong party 
walls, in all probability prevented 
the flames communicating to the ad- 
joining extensive timber-yard and 
manufactory of Messrs. Godsal and 
co. 
This afternoon another fire also 
broke out at Mr. Walker’s, baker, 
Wardotr-street, Soho, which, in a 
short time, communicated to the ad- 
joining honses of Mr. Lyons, cabi- 
net-maker, and Mr. Smith, chair- 
maker,
