HISTORY: Evening Express (Fifth Edition) 10th October 1907
IRISH RAILWAY OUTRAGE I A train drawn by two engines on the Lartigue Railway, County Kerry, was returning from Ballybunion, when it came into violent collision about 200 yards from Listowel with some sleepers, which had been deliberately placed between the trestles which support the single line on which the trains run. Both engines and all the carriages were derailed, but, fortunately, Mr. McCarthy, the manager, was the only passenger, and,
though badly shaken, neither he nor the drivers and firemen were seriously hurt. The
permanent way was torn up, and much damage done. The train, which had been bringing
people from the Listowel Races, was the last of the day, and the few passengers it carried
had already got out. No trace of the perpetrator of the outrage is at present to be found.
South Wales Daily News 21st December 1881.
At Athea, near Listowel, County Kerry, a farmer, named Coltoner,? while on the way home,
was attacked and savagely beaten by a party of disguised men armed with guns and
pitchforks. The injured man had written letters to Conservative journals, in defence of the
landlords claim.
Flintshire Observer Mining Journal and General Advertiser for the Counties of Flint Denbigh
22nd November 1888. Parnell Commission
A blacksmith who shod a farmer’s horse was boycotted and had to go to a League branch
seeking for mercy,” while he had no trouble since he had paid money to the League. A small
farmer who had been shot in the jaw in the Crimea, and whose utterance was so thick that
his evidence had to be repeated by Mr. Beauchamp, a Limerick solicitor, who is acting for
the Times, told with very dramatic gestures how his house was attacked at night, how he
took refuge on the top of his bed, was dragged down, and shot at, being told that it was
because he had paid his rent. Mr. Davitt suggested that the object of the attack was to rob
him of his pension received a week before, but the man stuck to his story that he was told it
was for paying his rent.
The Western Mail 29th May 1882
On Saturday night a large body of “Moonlighters,” many of whom were armed, went from
house to house on Mr. George Hewson. J.P.’s property, near Listowel, North Kerry, and
compelled the tenants to get out of bed and swear they would not pay their rents on
Monday unless 50 per cent abatement was granted.
