REWARDS OFFERED.
---
The “Dublin Gazette” opens with a proclamation of the Lords Justices
General and General Governors of Ireland, offering a reward of £1,000 to any
person or persons who within three months shall give such information as shall lead to the conviction of the murderers of Constables James McDonnell
and Patrick O'Connell, who were shot at Soloheadbeg, Tipperary, on January
21st, while escorting gelignite from the military barracks to the country
quarry, and a further reward of £300 for such secret information, within the
same time, as shall be calculated to lead to the same result. They also offer to
any person concerned in or privy to the murders (not being one of the persons
who actually fired the shots) who shall give such information as shall lead to
the conviction of the murderers, a free pardon, and the special protection of
the Crown in any part of his Majesty's dominions.
