FATAL QUARREL ON CHRISTMAS NIGHT. Several soldiers belonging to the 86th Regt., at present stationed in Dublin, were in a house of ill-fame, in Fulham's-court, off Brown-street, on Christmas night, when two of them, Henry Edwards and John McNamara, had a quarrel. The latter drew a knife, which the other and a woman endeavoured, but in vain, to wrest from him. Edwards soon afterwards left the house, but he was followed by McNamara, when the quarrel was resumed. Edwards ran away into Brown-street; the other pursued him, drew his knife, and stabbed him through the heart. He then tried to escape but he was arrested by the police with the aid of some civilians. It was Saturday morning when this occurred. The deceased was in coloured clothes. He was a waiter at the mess, and is said to have been much respected in the regiment: — A Coroner's jury returned the following verdict: 'That Henry Edwards, a private in the 86th Regt. of Foot, died on the morning of Saturday, the 26th of December, 1863, from the effects of a certain wound inflicted on him the same morning by John McNamara, a private soldier in said regiment, now in custody.' The prisoner was then committed on the Coroner's warrant for trial at the next Commission.

There was a Sunday school in the Dutch Billy across the road.... That building they're standing outside is still there and probably the only Georgian house left on the street. The lane next to it is Brickfield Lane. Pity about the Dutch Billy.

He's used a faster shutter speed than the other lads. He has a few people in his picture.

Seems to be some sort of voodoo effect as well. All those cracks in the plate have made that hotel fall down: maps.google.ie/?ll=53.713574,-6.349218&spn=0.003645,0...

Worth comparing with this later photo from the early 20C

Isn't it great to see the old symbols of trade, the Pawnbrokers three globes, the barbers red and white pole etc. Simple and effective advertising though everybody could see you when you went in to pawn the Sunday suit:-))
