Clippings
Yesterday a strolling person, resembling one of them mentioned in the Proclamation to have been guilty of the murder of Lieutenant Hume at Roscrea in the King's County, was seen in this place, who called himself by two different names, having left a Harp at the Widow Mc. Commons at the Long Bridge near Belfast, where said Harp still remains: It has carved on it these words, This Harp was made for Sir Henry Piercy in the Year 1722; but, notwithstanding strict search was made for him, he could not be found. Another strolling person was apprehended on suspicion of been one of the said murderers, but on examination before William Johnstone, Esq., he was discharged; and on father enquiry, it was discovered that two persons had lately lodged two nights in a public house here, and by the description given, one of them appears to have been John Leadwell, having a large cut on his face, and the other Thomas Leadwell: They seemed very uneasy for want of an opportunity of a vessel to transport themselves out of the kingdom, who would have been willing to have gone in any kind of a boat or vessel, either to England or Scotland, and enquired if there are any of the Dublin News Papers in this place, but not getting an opportunity of a vessel, they made off to Donaghadee in the county of Down in order to take shipping there. And forasmuch as this paper is generally received in many parts of the North of Ireland, where some of those barbarous murderers are or may probably come; therefore the publisher thinks proper to insert the following advertisement taken out of the Dublin News Papers.
