Judge Adams, during the Limerick Quarter Sessions on Tuesday, commented on an incident in which the Royal Arms were removed from the municipal buildings. He stated that the Attorney-General for Ireland displayed wise discretion in not prosecuting, considering the event seemed to be the result of a practical joke. Judge Adams recommended the Corporation restore the beautiful and historic object, which he noted was a creation from the finest days of Early English carving.
