Of the advertisements in the " Dublin Courant" several are curious, and some of historical interest.
The grand jury of the Co. Westmeath, at the general assizes in Maryborough, March 21st, 1746, offer " a reward of twenty pounds sterling to any person or persons who shall, within twelve months from the date hereof, lodge an information against, and prosecute to conviction, any Papist inhabiting within the said county for keeping, concealing, or carrying arms, contrary to law."
The worthy grand jurors, whose names are affixed to this document, so illustrative of the blessings of the British Constitution in Ireland in 1746, deserve to have their names rescued from oblivion: John Denney Vesey, William Henry Dawson, Warner Westenra, Bartholomew William Gilbert, William Wall, Arthur Weldon, William Fitzgerald, Pigott Sandes, Richard Despard, William Pleasants, Anthony Sharp, Edward Gray, Martin Delany, Robert Flood, John Bamrick, Benjamin Fisher, Lamphy Higgins, John Whitley, Anthony Gale.*
