The State of Ireland: police patrol challenging a suspected person, 1881. 'The Sketch by our Special Artist in the west of Ireland, which represents a patrolling party of the Royal Irish Constabulary, out upon the moors at night, stopping and examining a person they have met under suspicious circumstances in that lonely place, and who is not unlikely to be on his way to some deed of mischief, is another Illustration of the disturbed and alarmed condition of the country. The war between the forces of the Executive authority and the lawless agitators is still waged with great determination on both sides. It is becoming more evident, however, though the signs are but few and indistinct, that the power of the law is gradually and steadily gaining the upper hand. Evictions and sheriffs' sales for rent are not so frequent, and they are new peaceably conducted...Returns have been issued of the evictions which have come to the knowledge of the police in Ireland for the two quarters ended March 21 and June 30 in the present year'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
