The Irish Land League Agitation: sketches in Dublin - Saturday evening, Oct. 16, 1881. 'Drawing the line; a would-be orator; clearing Sackville Street; The worst part of it; Running the Gauntlet; Refuse; Young Ireland; The Ballad Singer - "He loved his country well, and now lies in Kilmainham Jail, Charles Stewart Parnell"...disgraceful scenes of violence and mischief exhibited by a lawless rabble in the streets of Dublin...following the arrest of the Land League leaders...There is little cause for alarm concerning the maintenance of peace and order in that city, as the mob of "roughs," consisting in great part of idle boys and dissolute youngsters, who sought amusement or excitement in throwing stones at the police or in breaking windows, had probably no serious intention of fighting. The scenes in Sackville-street, and in other principal places will show the loose and disorderly character of those shameful disturbances. They would be ludicrous and contemptible, if it were not that many of the Metropolitan Police got severely hurt, and some £3000 worth of damage was done to houses and other property, besides frightening the quiet and respectable citizens'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
