1828

Aug. 16th 1828
On Wednesday night, two shots were fired into the nursery windows of the
Abbey, Fethard, the residence of W.H. Latham Esq., a gentleman of
inoffensive manners, and who liberally bestowed, a short time ago, the Abbey
of Fethard to the Augustinian Friars for a chapel.  We trust the
perpetrators of this outrage will be discovered".
