Record 260 from 'CSO/RP'
NAI REFERENCE:

CSO/RP/SC/1825/260

TITLE:

Letter from Edward Mills, magistrate, Fairymount, County Roscommon, reporting on a violent attack on a house in the parish of Oran, County Roscommon

SCOPE & CONTENT:

Letter from Edward Mills, magistrate, Fairymount, County Roscommon, to Henry Goulburn, Chief Secretary, Dublin Castle, reporting on a violent attack on a house in the parish of Oran, County Roscommon. Indicates the catalysis behind the incident was an attempted distress for rent on property which brought a showdown at a dwelling occupied by ‘Hannelly’ [a tenant]. Refers to an earlier confrontation between members of a mob and police constable ‘McDonnah’ [or McDonagh] and gives a detailed account of the mob’s assault upon the house at 3 o’clock in the morning. In this affray the constable sustained severe injuries as they ‘knocked him down [and] trashed him literally as if he was a sheaf of corn’. Shifting attention, he reserves particular criticism for the ‘dreadful inflammatory’ language of those who meet in an assembly in Dublin - a reference to the Catholic Association – and greatly regrets the spread of that contagion to other parishes throughout the country.
