AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A report on a meeting in Newcastle 'convened for the purpose of raising funds to assist the Proprietors of the Freeman's Journal, in defending the action instituted by the Hon. the Attorney-General against that Journal'.

A collection was instigated by Mr. Charles Mulhern who said 'that as an humble, hard-working Irishman, he handed in seven shillings – a day's wages, and he trusted every Irishman would act similarly.' By the end of the night 'the cash on the table amounted to £12'.
