A melancholy account of several barbarous murders, upwards of twelve in number, lately committed in the counties of Limerick, Clonmel, Kildare, and Carlow, by the armed banditties, now up in Ireland - particularly the murder of Mr. Boland, his two sons, and brother, attended with acts of cruelty shocking to relate..

After the failure of the 1798 rebellion pockets of armed resistance to British rule were still to be found in parts of the country, with gangs carrying out robberies and reprisals on anyone with loyalist sympathies. The main series of murders mentioned here were the result of an attack on the Boland family home in Manister, County Limerck in March 1800.
