During the commencement of the Limerick Quarter Sessions yesterday, Judge Adams received information indicating a notable absence of criminal cases from both the city and the county. The lack of criminal business was apparent, and it was reported that no cases required disposition. In a symbolic gesture, the Sheriff presented Judge Adams with two pairs of white gloves, underscoring the absence of criminal proceedings. The Crown Solicitor further informed the Court that there had been no indictable offences returned for trial from the city since the Spring Assizes of 1904. This unusual occurrence reflects a period of relative calm on the criminal front within the Limerick jurisdiction.
