“I remember when I was a lad a "Patron" to be held in Roundfort.”
(continued from previous page)I (John Merrick) saw a man being killed at the eviction in the Village of Clareen (near Hollymount). His name was John Quinn. He lived in Hollybrook Gate Lodge. Ejectments were being served on the tenants in Clareen village. A great crowd, with Quinn as one of them, went to stop the police. A drain was cut across the road. Quinn hit two of the R.I.C. with a spade. Then Stephens one of the R.I.C. hit Quinn with his rifle and killed him.- Transcription guide »You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
