I do try to find some lighthearted ones Mau :-(, but alas, like the tabloids of today, most news was sensationalised to get the reader to buy the paper.

Just goes to show what went on in those days though......I wonder what our ancestors would have had to say about it all......That is if they weren't involved in some of the doings lol. I am just glad I didn't live in those days.....tis bad enough now

'The Fall of the house of Usher" the abridged version of which I read as a child ( and film with Vincent Price) decided me that I would want to be cremated rather than risk being buried alive :O

Googlebooks has a brilliant book on the story of Ireland.....written in the 1860s If I recall. Worth a look, anyway.
