William Moreton (Monkton. sic)
Gunmaker
Dublin
"Between six and seven o'clock in the morning, the house of Mr Monkton (Sic), gunmaker, in Skinner-Row, was attempted to be broke open by two fellows, who broke off some of the iron rails of the kitchen windows; the noise brought Mr Monkton down stairs, who fired a pistol at one of them, and it is supposed wounded him dangerously in the belly, however the villain got off".
