Scope and content
A copy of a pamphlet titled ‘Sixmilebridge / a few queries arising from a few facts, as briefly considered in a letter from David John Wilson, Esq., to the people of England in general, and the Lord Adolphus Vane, in particular’ (Dublin: James Duffy, 7 Wellington Quay, 1853). Refers to an incident at Sixmilebridge in County Clare where in 1852 a riot occurred, in which several local people were injured by the police. The occasion was the election, where the opposing parties were the Conservative candidate (Vandeleur) and the nationalist candidates (O’Brien and Fitzgerald).
