THOUGHT: When I go down to the grave I can say, like many others, ‘I have finished my day’s work!’ But I cannot say, ‘I have finished my life.’ My day’s work will begin again the next morning. The tomb is not a blind alley; it is a thoroughfare! It closes on the twilight, it opens on the dawn!

STEPHEN CREAGH SANDES ESQ. We recollect not when we had received a letter for publication, which has given us such pleasure as we felt, upon reading that which regards this excellent gentleman, earnestly would we call public attention to that important document and more especially would we engage ‘for it the attentive perusal of the landlords of Kerry. Let our landlords only imitate the tender-heartedness of Mr. SANDES to the poor whom he has generously raised to comparative happiness and our state of society will not be inferior to any in Europe.
Murhur, May the 6th,1838. TO THE PROPRIETER OF THE TRALEE MERCURY.
Sir—As your patriotic and independent Journal is the only medium through which every liberal act is promulgated, may I beg the insertion of the following lines in your columns.
In the village of Newtownsandes, there are upwards of a hundred poor families who, for a series’ of years past, had not a rood of ground to support themselves, but depending on the adjacent farmers, who generally charged them from £5 to £6 per acre, for the most barren and impoverished part of their farms and that only for one or two crops.
To rescue these poor creatures from their debased and impoverished state, a scion of Sallyglin House, Stephen Creagh Sandes, Esq., has given them a farm of thirty acres, immediately adjoining the village, in lots of from half to two acres each, at the moderate- rent of £1 10s per acre. The farm was hitherto held by one of the most respectable and independent tenants in this part of the country, who offered the same rent and a deposit of £300, which offer, to his immortal honour he refused to accept. We cannot too highly appreciate the benevolent disposition of this young gentleman but when we reflect on the noble character of his family in general, but especially that of the amiable and venerable Bishop of Killaloe we cannot express surprise at any good act emanating from his nephew. If every landed proprietor in Ireland acted similarly thre would be little necessity For poor laws or for our present Constabulary force. Peace, happiness and contentment would be substituted for the anarchy confusion and misery that now prevails.
To behold the joy beamed in aspect of these poor creatures, expressing their gratitude and imploring the Deity to shower down his blessings on this amiable and benevolent gentleman, would soften the marble hearted gentry Who are indifferent, to the suffering’s and privations of the poor.
MAURICE O’CONNELL.
Stephen Creagh Sandes (1778-1842), F.T.C.D., was elected a life member of the Dublin Society in 1815. His proposers were John Crosbie Graves and Thomas Ellis. He was a member of the R.D.S. natural philosophy committee 1824-31. Sandes was born in Sallow Glen, County Kerry, and married Mary Dickson in 1819. He stood out as a principled liberal in the conservative milieu of Trinity College, of which he became a senior fellow and bursar. Early in 1835 he seconded the candidacy of Reverend Daniel Murray, catholic archbishop of Dublin, for membership of the R.D.S. In the recriminations following the failure of Murray’s candidacy Sandes was dignified and restrained. Well regarded by Daniel O’Connell, he advanced arguments to him by letter of 5 April 1836 opposing the regulation of T.C.D.’s income by parliament. He was consecrated bishop of Killaloe on 12 June 1836 and moved to Clarisford House. Three years later he was appointed bishop of Cashel, where he served until his death in 1842.
