The State of Ireland: a gentleman's residence in 1881. 'The district has lately been one of the most disturbed in the country...For more than a month past, Mount Coote, near Killmallock, has been handed over to the military, occupied by the King's Own Borderers, the Army Service Corps, and a few of the Royal Irish Constabulary. The owner, Mr. Coote, is pleased to know that it is in such safe custody...the ante-room [is] occupied by a party of the Royal Irish Constabulary. The new library is converted into a barrack-room for the Army Service Corps; and the dining-room is occupied by the officers' mess...Walking round the house, we come upon new sentry-boxes, and sentries carefully guarding each side... In front of the house is a lake, in which may be seen quantities of fish. On it are seen a party of the Borderers in a boat...The Illustrations show the back and front of the house and a group of its military guardians. The two upper views are from sketches by Major Talbot Coke, of the King's Own Borderers; the larger Engraving, which represents the soldiers assembled in front of the mansion, is from a photograph by Messrs. Ward and Co, of Cork'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
