During a pig fair in Kilrush, Ireland, a United Irish Leaguer was caught inciting the boycotting of Cunningham, a holder of an evicted farm. The accused was taken into custody and faced a special court led by Mr A. M. Harper, the resident magistrate. After hearing the police evidence, the accused was given the option of a rule of Bail or, in default, three months’ imprisonment. Choosing the latter, the prisoner was taken to Limerick prison.
