PROVINCIAL NEWS 1823 LIMERICK
April 17-Yesterday morning the dwelling-house of Riversdale, near Listowel, with a most extensive range of out-offices, consisting of three stables, coach-house, cow-house, Barn, potatoe-house, and cider-house, with two farm-houses on the demesne, were discovered to be on fire, when much valuable property was consumed, with two horses and a cow, and several others dreadfully scorched. A large quantity of potatoes, oats and carts, and many other articles of husbandry were also consumed- the dwelling-house was, with great exertion, saved from sharing the fate of the offices.-When such family as the RAYMONDs, respected and remarkable for their hospitality,
benevolence and charity to the distressed, are, in their absence in England, to be selected as the victims of outrage and destruction of property-who can reckon for one night to escape the alarming system now so prevalent, and until now totally unknown in that country, where hospitality and friendly feeling were hitherto congenial to the men of Kerry?
Since writing the above we have received the following from our Newcastle
Correspondent:-
“On Thursday night, some of those daring ruffians, whose nightly depredations reflect such disgrace upon their country, set fire to the out-offices of Riversdale-house, the property of Mr. RAYMOND, which raged with such rapidity, that, in a short time, the whole beautiful and extensive concern was, with the exception of the dwelling-house, alone, consumed to ashes, and four valuable horses, several cows, a large quantity of oats, potatoes, turf, farming utensils, several hogsheads of cider, and many other valuable articles totally destroyed, together with two farm-houses contiguous thereto. The same night no less than ten fires were perceptible in the above part of the county Kerry.
“On Captain CROTTY, of the 30th regiment, stationed at Abbeyfeale, being apprised of the fire by one of his patrol, he instantly repaired to the spot with a strong guard, who assisted in saving some effects.,”—–Chronicle.
of Dr. Vere Gregory, who lives in Donegal, is still here. He is a cousin of Sir William Gregory, the celebrated husband of the still more celebrated Lady Gregory, who was one of the [729] founders of the Abbey Theatre. His book contains an account of the Gregory family in Ireland, interspersed with the writer’s own reminiscences and comments on current affairs. The author was a County Inspector in the Royal Irish Constabulary during the closing years of that force. Hence, he had personal knowledge of the disturbed and difficult period leading to the Treaty of 1921. Naturally, in these personal reminiscences, there are a few stories about murders committed by both sides. Now, these are not picked for their sensationalism, but because they came his way or for some particular reason—for example, the shocking tragedy of Sir Arthur Vicars, of Kilmorna, near Listowel. Another case, of which he had not personal knowledge, he tells—and the fact does him great credit—because he wished to clear the name of Lady Gregory, his kinswoman, of an absurd charge of collusion with certain people that had been made against her. On this question of atrocity and counter-atrocity, I want to make this point—it is the kind of thing that is unavoidable in revolution. Arthur Griffith said at a time when such things were beginning to happen—and these are, I think, very important words:
“The military mind is the same in every country. Our military men are as bad as the British. They think of nothing but their own particular end and cannot be brought to consider the political consequences of their proceedings.”
(Gregory Kilmorna Senate 27 Jan 1944 debate)

Oval Office occupant is relentlessly attacked by his opponents, and sometimes by his own party. Even the great acts of the presidency — the Louisiana Purchase, the Emancipation Proclamation, the New Deal, just to name a few — were reviled by the partisans of the era. It’s a tough job.
