London, England - 1869 - A handbill, of which the following is a copy, was lately posted in sundry places in London:

"TO ALL FENIANS.
"Vive la Republique!
"The Queen will visit the city in state on Saturday, and on that day she will be shot. She seldom gives a chance. The opportunity won't be lost!
"GOD SAVE IRELAND!"

But the Queen was not shot, though she graced the opening of the Holborn viaduct with her presence.
