Arthur Young visited Ireland in 1776 and the following year returned as resident agent to Lord Kingsborough, with responsibility for supervising a huge estate at Mitchelstown to the north of Cork. He stayed a year and set up an ambitious programme of improvements to the estate. His 'A Tour in Ireland' was published in 1780, and "has since become a valuable source as one of the few accounts of conditions in Ireland at this time. Among others subjects Young had much to say on commercial policy and the activities of the Dublin Society; and in addition Young attacked the practice of subletting land to middlemen and made some interesting observations on the living conditions of the poor" - (ODNB).…

B. Gurney). Richard Patch (1770?-1806) was an unsuccessful farmer near Exeter who mortgaged his farms in 1803 and departed to London, where he entered the service of Isaac Blight, a ship-breaker in Rotherhithe. When Blight's financial circumstances became embarrassed he conveyed his property to Patch to protect himself from his creditors and they entered into a partnership agreement. Patch was to pay £1250 for his share of the partnership, £250 from the sale of his farms and a further £1000 by 23 September 1805, a sum that he knew he had no means to obtain.On the evening of 23rd September a shot was heard and Blight, drowsing in the back parlour, was badly wounded, dying the next morning. Patch tried to create an alibi by slamming a door to convince the servant Esther Kitchener that he was in the privy at the time of the murder. The week before, already laying his plans, he had fired at the front parlour from the garden to suggest that there was a stranger outside gunning for Blight. Despite this subterfuge he was convicted on very strong circumstantial evidence including stockings muddied from the wharf when he threw the pistol into the river. Passing sentence the Lord Chief Baron told Patch: 'you began this practice in fraud, continued it in ingratitude, and completed it by shedding the blood of your friend and benefactor.' Patch was hanged in Southwark outside the new prison in Horsemonger Lane.The case excited great interest and the trial was attended by a throng of titled individuals, including the royal dukes of Cumberland and Sussex.
