1791
Hurricane
On
Thursday, January 6th 1791, the Freeman's Journal (p.3) reported
that last Saturday morning inhabitants of Carlow experienced the
greatest hurricane remembered by the oldest inhabitants. Houses
in the vicinity were unroofed, chimneys blown down and trees
torn up by the roots, but we hear of no personal injury received
by the inhabitants'.

A few nights ago, a Fire broke out in the
House at Mount Wolseley, near Tullow in the County of Carlow,
formerly the Seat of Sir Richard Wolseley, Bart. And wherein
Robert Doyne, Esq, lived, which entirely consumed the same: It
was owing to the Carelessness of a Maid Servant, who had brought
some Fire from the Kitchen
in order to put in the Parlour Grate, but her Master
desiring her not to mind it, for that he would go to Bed, she
left it under a Table in the Hall, and going about some other
Business forgot it and went to bed: Mr Doyne, his Housekeeper,
and a little Boy that lay with her,
narrowly escaped being burned, by jumping out of a Two
Pair of Stairs Window on a Feather Bed; but the Woman is so
terribly hurt that her Life is despaired of.
Mrs Doyne happened to be in Town.
