LISTOWEL LAND LEAGUE.( Snippets from meeting)
The Rev. Arthur Moynihan, Adm. Listowel League, presided.
Regret at change of Head Constable Bloomer, he was zealous and less liable to err.
The attack by magistrates, that drunkenness was on the increase is false.
The Rev M 0’Connor, P P, who was cordially received, proposed the first resolution—”That this meeting records its emphatic condemnation of the practice on certain estates of serving writs from the superior courts for the recovery of rent by which the tenants already over burdened are involved in heavy and to many of them ruinous costs. In addressing an assemblage of North Kerry men it is hardly necessary to refer to the difficulties and struggles which the farmers of the country, had to encounter for the past four years. Those trials were due in some degree to the visitation of Providence, but they were mainly the result of rack rent and insecurity of tenure as regards the land”. In Kerry as in other places many landlords, instead of sympathising with their tenants in their present crisis, only add to their burdens by involving them in expensive processes of law.
Mentioned were Fosberry county surveyor of the County of Limerick and Mr Gun Mahony, of Kilmorna. Who is so inaccessible to his tenants as the Man in the moon.
A respectable farmer who was worth £800 or £1,000 in hard cash, his rent raised and now unable to meet his ordinary demands.
Poor Jeremiah Mulvihill an occupant on this estate, his cattle sold, the bill of costs amounted to £30.
A resolution was passed urging farmers not to send cattle to graze on lands held by landlords, or purchase meadowing from them.
