In a notable development in Limerick, Ireland, tensions have arisen between local authorities and a land seller over the contentious issue of selling untenanted lands on the eleven months’ system. The Limerick City and County Executives held a joint meeting to address the concerns of the majority of the Irish people who oppose such sales. A letter penned by Thomas Luspoxs, acting on behalf of the National Organization, was delivered to William B. Fitt, the land seller, cautioning him against proceeding with the sales. The missive conveyed a strong warning that should Fitt persist in his actions, the intentions of Parliament would be vigorously opposed, potentially leading to extreme measures. As the community closely monitors the unfolding situation, the stage is set for a critical confrontation over the future of the land sales in Limerick.

Town Hall, Limerick, March 15th, 1805

Wm B Fitt, Esq.

Dear Sir,

At a joint meeting of the Limerick City and County Executives held today, it was brought to our attention that you are planning to sell untenanted lands on the eleven months’ system, which goes against the aims and wishes of the majority of the Irish people. We were also informed that you intend to proceed with the disposal of such lands today.

In light of these developments, I have been tasked with conveying to you that if you persist in selling these lands, the members of the National Organization will be obliged to ensure that the intentions of Parliament are upheld, and such sales are halted.

We sincerely hope that you will reconsider your decision and avoid forcing the people to resort to extreme measures.

Your obedient servant,

Thomas Lundon.
