Charles Stewart Parnell (1846-1891). Irish nationalist politician, leader of the Irish Parliamentary Party (1882-1891) and Home Rule League (1880-1882). Parnell's own newspaper, the "United Ireland", attacked the Land Act and he was arrested on 13 October 1881, being imprisoned in Kilmainham gaol (Dublin). Gladstone's 1881 Land Act ignored certain other problems, including the plight of tenants who were in arrears with their rent, meaning they owed back rent. The leaders issued a 'no rent manifesto' from prison, encouraging tenants to continue avoiding the payment of rent to landlords until the prisoners were released. Arrival of Parnell in Kilmainham prison (Dublin). Engraving by Bernardo Rico (1825-1894). La Ilustracion Española y Americana, 1881.
