Walker's Hi- bernian Magazine of May, 1780, gives a notice of another riot here, that, as characteristic of the state of the times, seems worthy of insertion. " This 368 GENERAL HI8T0BY. evening has furnished a most horrid deed to relate^ no less than five of our townsmen's corses are now lying in the Tholsel, from the army firing on the populace. What gave rise to the above was trifling, only a little dispute that was agitated about two men enlisting. One of the persons killed proves, fatally,... to have been Mr. Woodhouse, a most deserving and respectable character, and a member of our volun- teer association ; there were also three people wounded. The volunteers immediately got under arms, and application was made to the commanding officer at the barracks, for the rioters, whom he or- dered to be given up directly. They are now in gaol, double bolted, and the volxmteers have mounted guard for fear of a rescue." In 1782, the Drogheda Association of that body, by an unanimous resolu- tion, testified their approval of those of the Ulster Delegates then lately passed at Dungannon, and in 1787, the corporation granted to the dissenting Pro- testants a piece of groimd in the old Abbey, near Patrick's Well-lane, for 999 years, at a nominal rent, with the object of their building a house of worship thereon.
