At the opening of the Limerick Quarter Sessions, the City High Sheriff presented Judge Adams with white gloves, signifying that there were no criminal cases for investigation. The County High Sheriff echoed this observation. His Honour praised the city and county of Limerick, stating that his experience over the past eight years showed them to be almost completely crime-free. He believed that there might not be any other district in the King’s dominions more free from crime than Limerick.
