THE BURNING
AND DEVASTATION OF
IRISH HOMESTEADS
in the county of Kerry are ruthless outrages, the
perpetration of which in England would arouse
a feeling of resentment against the offending
landlords on this side St. George’s Channel to
the full as fierce as that which exists at the
present time in Ireland. Happily for the cause
of humanity—save when the agent of a
Duke of Bedford brings down magisterial
ecnsure on his head for barbarously unroofing
the poor attic of an unfortunate tenant
whose misery ought to have excited com-
passion — we manage thingS differently in
England. When hard times press severely
upon luckless cottagers or farmers, English
Jandlords seek to do unto them as they would
be done unto. True Christianity tempers bitter
Political Economy, which is too often, alas!
made to do duty for Heartlessness. Were the
callous feeling which animates some few Irish
landlords and usurers to prevail in England,
there can be no doubt our Joseph Arches would
rise, and take the part of the down-trodden
occupiers as manfully as Mr. John Dillon, M.P.4
defends his unfortunate fellow-creatures in the
Sister Isle. Viewing the unrelenting and crucl
acts of savagery which have taken place in the
name of the Law, our readers will agree with us
that it is high time all political parties combined
to bring about that rational and sweeping reform
in the conditions of landowning in Ireland which
would prevent the recurrence of scenes which’
are a disgrace to our boasted civilisation.
THE GLENBEIGH BURNINGS,
on the property of the Hon. Rowland Winn, in.
county Kerry, may well have aroused world-wide
indignation and commiseration. Let us take the
shameful and pitiless evictions of Wednesday,
January the Twelfth, as simply described by the
correspondent of the Daily News, which great
Liberal journal has nobly done so much to place
before us clear and true views of the lamentable
state of things among our warm-hearted Irish
fellow-countrymen. The Daily News’ repye-
sentative stated that Mr. Roe, the agent, was
accompanied by fifty police, several bailiffs, and
six emergency men, the latter being specially
retained for levelling the miserable houses as
soon as the roof was burned. ~ iv
JOUN CONNOR
was the first visited. He is an old man of sixty-
five years, with a family of ten children, and he
owed £10 10s. The ordinary process of throwing
out the furniture having been performed by the
bailiffs, the work of demolition commenced. The
emergency men came provided with paraflin and
matches, and set fire to the houses in several
places from the inside. Simultaneously with
this some of them worked with crowbars at the
comer of the gable displacing stones, till the
gable and side wall and flaming roof-tree col-
apred—a smouldering mass of ruins.
THE TERRIBLE EVICTIONS
the past week, said the same correspondent. In
the case of one tenant,
PAT REARDEN,
an exciting and peculiarly painful scene occurred.
The miserable house was emptied, but the
tenant’s infant child was dying, and its mother
begged of the agent a chelter for it for the night;
but he refused, and ordered the bailiff to nail up
the door. The poor woman cried pitcously, and
laid the dying child in the pig-stye in the yard,
and tried to procure straw for a bed there. The
