Dublin, April 6. There being some Indian and French silks
now selling by auction in this town, and two or three
Brewers wives, in the Earl of Meath's liberty, having bought
a few pieces thereof, the master weavers and dyers, as well
as journeymen of their corporations, gave notice by beat of
drum, that they would not drink any liquors whatever brew'd
by the husbands of the said ladies, who would encourage
foreign manufactures, when there are numbers of poor weavers
in a starving condition in this town, and all over the
kingdom, for want of employment.
