Irish in 1847
Facts for the Kind-Hearted of England! page 6
by Jasper W. Rogers
"HIGHWAY ROBBERY--(Particulars). There is no clue whatever to discover the parties who committed this atrocious act--but two Irish labourers who live in the neighbourhood are, it is supposed, the delinquents!"
"BURGLARY AT ---- (Particulars). The parties who committed this robbery acted in the most daring manner. The country is now filled with Irish harvest labourers!"
"FOOTPAD.--A daring attempt was made by a most desperate-looking man to rob a farmer some days since--(further particulars) after a great struggle he got off. He is supposed to be an Irishman!"
"MARLBOROUGH-STREET.--There is a class of persons now known, called 'Mouchers,' who go about in gangs, plundering the licensed victuallers, eating-house and coffee-shop keepers, to an extent that would be deemed impossible, did not the records of police courts afford sufficient evidence of the fact. The Mouchers are mostly of the lower order of Irish."--London Morning Paper, 12th April, 1847.
"HORRIBLE MURDER--(Particulars). Every possible search has been made for the murderers, but unfortunately without effect. However, it is positively known that four Irish harvesters passed through the village the day before, and there cannot be a doubt the dreadful deed was committed by them!"
