Famine Destitution in Ardcarne
<p>An excerpt from a letter TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING POST during Black 47.</p> <p>DESTITUTION IN IRELAND.<br /> Sir— Fearing that the English public is not even yet actually awakened to the evil afflicting Ireland, so as to comprehend the urgent necessity for continued relief its to meet the gaunt destitution which pervades so vast a portion, of the Irish population; and believing that while the Government arrangements are slowly progressing a large number will for want of food and an opportunity to gain food by labour be sent into premature graves, I request to be allowed to submit through your journal some documents to the public, in the hope they may be effectual in exciting, further benevolent exertions to alleviate the alarming misery.<br /> I remain, Sir, Your obedient servant,<br /> George H.

Roscommon Catholics' Campaign for Parliamentary Reform
<p>With the arrival of Catholic Emancipation in 1829, Daniel O’Connell led a party of 39 Irish MPs pledged to repealing the Act of Union. During the following years it was O’Connell’s leadership of the Irish MPs which kept Lord Melbourne’s ministry in office and as a result O’Connell had much Irish patronage placed at his disposal.</p> <p>Denis O’Conor (1794-1847) who was educated as a barrister and traveled extensively in Europe, supported the pro-Catholic agitation in Roscommon. Following the granting of emancipation in 1830, he was the obvious choice of the county’s liberal Catholics for the representation. The O’Conor Don, who declared himself in favour of reform and economies, and exerted himself, especially on the subject of Tithes, retained his seat for the rest of his life.</p>

Awful extermination of tenantry at Ballinlass
<p>When it came to profit, grazing cattle was more lucrative than having tenants. Having lived in Ballinlass for generations, reliably paying rent, was of no consequence; Marcella Netterville Gerrard, was hell-bent on clearing her land. On this fateful morning, 67 ‘comfortable, clean, and neatly kept habitations, with snug kitchen gardens either before or behind them’ were demolished and all 447 inhabitants of Ballinlass 'scattered over the neighbourhood, residing in the ditches or anywhere they can find shelter’...</p>
