Kilrush Union. ExTRAct from Report of Captain KENNEDY :—November 25, 1847. Extract from Re port of Captain “AN immense number of small landholders are under ejectment, or Kennedy. notice to quit, even where the rents have been paid up. “The universal and minute subdivision of land may have rendered this a matter of necessity and good policy, but its immediate effect cannot fail to prove most disastrous, a great majority being determined to overhold if they can, and are in the mean time deterred from doing anything to the land. “Such wholesale proceedings must, I fear, also affect the peace of the dis trict.”

ExTRACT from Report of Captain KENNEDY :—February 11, 1848. Extract from ite port of Captain “THERE is a concentration of misery and suffering in Moyarta almost Kennedy. beyond the possibility of grappling with, and daily on the increase. Some idea of this may be formed from the fact that upwards of 120 houses have been ‘tum bled' on one property within a few weeks, containing families to a greater number; many of whom are burrowing behind the ditches, without the means of procuring a shelter. The relieving officer is intelligent and active, but his duties cannot possibly be performed by any one individual. “At Carrigaholt and the division of Moyarta, misery and suffering are no less rife, and death quite as busy. “I scrutinized a list of 575 families here, and saw each individual; their lamentable state of filth, ignorance, destitution, and disease, must be seen to be comprehended. It is hopeless for the very few respectable residents to struggle against such an overwhelming mass. On one estate alone, little short of 200 houses have been “tumbled ' within three months, and 120 of this number, I believe, within three weeks! The wretched, houseless, helpless inmates, for the most part an amphibious race of fishermen and farmers, scattering disease, destitution, and dismay in every direction.”

Extract from Report of Captain KENNEDY :—March 16, 1848. Extract from Re port of Captain “WE admitted a considerable number of paupers, among whom were Kennedy. some of the most appalling cases of destitution and suffering it has ever been my lot to witness. The state of most of these wretched creatures is traceable to the numerous evictions which have lately taken place in the Union. When driven from their cabins they betake themselves to the ditches or the shelter of some bank, and there exist like animals, till starvation or the inclemency of the weather drives them to the workhouse. There were three cart-loads of these creatures, who could not walk, brought for admission yesterday, some in fever, some suffering from dysentery, and all from want of food. They were imme diately handed over to the medical officer, and provided with nourishment. I

leave no effort untried to mitigate their misery.” -

These measures, though productive of immediate suffering, will eventually aid the working of the law, and facilitate the collection of rates. “Many of those evicted are deserting their families, some going to America, some in search of employment. I have every reason to anticipate a very great B 2 4 REPORTS AND RETURNS RELATING TO

. Kilrush Union. increase of this class within a short period. If they are all brought into the workhouse, it will soon be converted into one vast nursery; and if relieved out, it would encourage and increase the evil to an unmanageable extent. Relief, I find, was extended to this class last year under the Relief Act; and I find, from personal inquiry, that many expect it this spring."

Extract from Re ExTRACT from Report of Captain KENNEDY —March 28, 1848. port of Captain Kennedy. “I HAVE the honour to inform you that the Kilrush workhouse con tained two above the authorized number, on yesterday. This rapid filling is attributable to the numerous evictions on the 25th instant and demolition of cabins. “To meet the emergency I immediately proceeded with Mr. Meagher, Vice Guardian, and selected 50 cases for discharge, principally widows with one child dependent, and some elderly widows without any. I anticipate a con siderable pressure during the next fortnight. Cabins are being thrown down in all directions, and it is really extraordinary and, to me, unaccountable, where or how the evicted find shelter.”

Extract from Re ExTRAct from Report of Captain KENNEDY :—March 30, 1848. port of Captain Kennedy. “I HAVE in former reports stated my anticipation of a pressure upon the workhouse about this period, though the season and increased occupation would lead to an opposite opinion. The pressure, however, is coming, and will con tinue; and this will not surprise the Commissioners when I state my convic tion, that 1000 cabins have been levelled in this Union within a very few months. The occupants of many of these were induced to give them up on receipt of a small sum of money, and that once spent they must seek the workhouse or starve.”

Captain Kennedy to Captain KENNEDY to the CoMMissionERs:—April 2, 1848. the Commissioners. THE number of evicted and houseless far exceeds the numbers who will obtain employment at this season. However discouraging it may be, I look for a steady and serious increase of destitution daily. Sixteen houses were levelled upon one small property in Kilmurry division on Monday last. The inmates of these cabins have crowded the workhouse within two days.

The Commissioners The CoMMIssion ERs to Captain KENNEDY :-April 5, 1848. to Captain Kennedy. WITH regard to the 16 houses which are adverted to in your letter as having been levelled in the Kilmurry electoral division, I am to inform you that the Commissioners are desirous of receiving more detailed information; and in order to ensure greater accuracy in the statements, the Commissioners would suggest that you should ground such information entirely on evidence upon oath.

Extract from Re Extract from Report of Captain KENNEDY :—April 6, 1846. port of Captain Kennedy. “A TIMELY well organized and well superintended labour test, in and out of doors, is the only hope of stemming the torrent. The destitution in degree and character are, I trust, unknown elsewhere; improvident, ignorant, thriftless parents, scarcely human in habits and intelligence, only present them selves with 9 or 10 skeleton children, when they themselves can no longer sup port the pangs of hunger, and their wretched offspring are beyond recovery : the state of this Union must be seen to be believed or comprehended. I some times feel despair when I see the trifling impression my unceasing efforts can effect in its amelioration, aided as I am by the Commissioners' support and a º administration of the law; the fact is everything is left to the law a 10Ile. “There are none to assist, however many there may be to pervert or obstruct it when possible. “Hundreds of instances occur where an acre of land worth 15s. is let for 3!, and the occupiers, in default of full payment, bound to give 140 days’ labour to his lessor during spring and harvest, when the occupier himself requires them most ; this would (valuing his labour at 8d. per day) amount to 4!. I3s. EVICTIONS IN THE KILRUSH UNION. 5

“The same system obtains as to the letting of cabins; 100 or 120 days labour, Kilrush Union. during the only period the wretched labourer would earn, is exacted for a cabin, worth perhaps 7s.6d. a-year. “The occupiers, having thus pauperized the labouring class, get their work done for nothing, and complain of rates. I think I could show that the sum required to keep the paupers in this Union would, if expended in labour, keep the people and pay 20 per cent. Employment or wages there is none. “While hundreds are being turned out houseless and helpless daily on one small property in Killard division, no less than 23 houses, containing probably 100 souls, were tumbled in one day, 27th March. I believe the extent of land, occupied with these 23 houses did not exceed 50 acres. The suffering and misery attendant upon these wholesale evictions is indescribable. The farmers and occupiers in the neighbourhood take advantage of these occurrences, get their labour done in exchange for food alone, to the member of the family he employs, till absolute starvation brings the mother and helpless children to the workhouse. This is the history of hundreds. “The number of houseless paupers in this Union is beyond my calculation; those evicted crowd neighbouring cabins' villages, and disease is necessarily generated. On its first appearance the wretched sufferer, and probably the whole family to which he or she belongs, is ruthlessly turned out by the road side. The popular dread of fever or dysentery seems to excuse any degree of inhumanity. The workhouse and temporary hospital are crowded to the utmost extent they can possibly contain; the crowding of the fever hospital causes me serious anxiety. The relieving officer has directions to send no more in, yet, notwithstanding this caution, panic-stricken and unnatural parents fre quently send in a donkey load of children in ſever a distance of 14 or 15 miles for admission. How to dispose of them I know not. I have requested the medical officer to furnish me with a weekly report, which I enclose; it will in some degree account for the mortality. I saw several admitted yesterday, who, I am sure, cannot survive many hours.”

Captain KENNEDY to the CoMMIssionERs:—April 8, 1848. Captain Kennedy to the Commissioners. ADVERTING to the 16 houses mentioned in my report of the 2nd instant, as having been levelled in the “Kilmurry" division, I have the honour to request that the Commissioners would be kind enough to furnish me with the heads upon which they would desire sworn information, as I fear embodying matter which might embarrass them ; this evil is one of such magnitude in this Union, that any examination of it should be maturely considered and search ingly conducted. As to the legality, or the contrary, of many of these evictions, I cannot speak; I am only conversant with the numbers at present. I found this information necessary to the efficient performance of my duties, not only to know, but anticipate them ; the eviction of 300 or 400 souls in one day would be embarrassing to any Union. I may mention the following facts which I can have verified upon oath:- Kilmurry Division.—Sir John Reid's property; seventeen or nineteen houses thrown down on or about 8th March, 1848; all on one day. Mr. M'Donnell's property; twenty-two houses since 1st January, 1848. Mr. Pougham's property; eight houses since 1st January, 1848. Fourteen on Mr. James O'Dwyer's property. Eleven on Minor Casey's property. Killard Division.—Fourteen houses thrown down on Minor Stackpoole's pro perty, since March on 69 acres. Twenty-four houses on Mr. Clowes' property, on 28 acres. I can procure names, and numbers, &c., of families, &c., and all particulars which may be required. I have a list, &c., from Moyarta division, I think, exceeding 220 houses. These evicted are all absolute and hopeless paupers; on the average six to each house, enough to swamp any Union or Poor Law machinery when simultaneously thrown upon it. I will immediately commence the inquiry when directed. I calculate that 6,000 houses have been levelled since November, and expect 500 more before July. 6 REPORTS AND RETURNS RELATING TO

Kilrush Union. Reply of the CoMMIssionERs to Captain KENNEDY:—April 15, 1848. Reply of the Commissioners I AM directed by the Commissioners for administering the Laws for to Captain Kennedy. Relief of the Poor in Ireland to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 8th instant, in which you advert to the evictions which have taken place in the Kilmurry electoral division of Kilrush Union, and request to be furnished with the heads on which the Commissioners desire to be furnished with sworn informations. In reference thereto, I am directed by the Commissioners to state that they are desirous that all the material facts connected with the evictions should be placed on record, in order that they may be in a position to ascertain whether any burden has been cast on the poor rates illegally. The Commissioners do not consider it to be within their province to interfere with the legal exercise of the rights of property; but when, owing to the demolition of houses, the poor rates of an Union become liable for the support of destitute poor persons who have no houses to go to, it becomes competent for the Commissioners to satisfy themselves, that such additions to the liabilities of the Union are not occasioned by a violation of the law.

Captain Kennedy Captain KENNEDY to the CoMMission ERs:—April 13, 1848. to the Commis stoners. DESTITUTION, I am concerned to say, steadily increases, together with a corresponding increase of disease. The numerous evictions tend to this when (as is frequently the case) 30 or 40 cabins are levelled in a single day; the inmates crowd into neighbouring ones till disease is generated, and they are then thrown out without consideration or mercy. The relieving officers thus find them, and send them to the hospital when beyond medical aid. These wholesale evictions are most embarrassing to the Guardians. The wretched and half-witted occupiers are too often deluded by the specious promises of under-agents and bailiffs, and induced to throw down their own cabin for a paltry consideration of a few shillings, and an assurance of “out-door relief.” I am compiling a return of the number of evictions in each electoral division since last November, with the extent of holding, and amount of yearly rent. It may be asked why the occupier submits to what is illegal? The answer is simply, that the great mass are tenants-at-will and dare not resist; and on many properties notice to quit is served every six months, to enable the lessor to turn out the occupiers when he pleases. This is a ruinous system, and one much complained of.

Reply of the Com REPLY of the CoMMissioMERs to Captain KENNEDY :—April 19, 1848. missioners to Captain Kennedy. THE Commissioners do not think it necessary to trouble you at present, to forward copies of the sheets of the return of evictions which you are pre paring, but they think that the whole return, when completed, may be advan tageously annexed to your Report on the evictions, and forwarded as an Appendix to it.

Extract from Re IXTRAct from Report of Captain KENNEDY :—April 16, 1848. port of Captain Kennedy. “THE pressure and number of applicants for relief is still very great. There were fully 200 applicants, the greater portion of whom were very mi serable and destitute. There were but 30 vacancies in the house, and the Vice Guardians were of course obliged to give out-door relief. “In the week ending 8th April, the number of ‘cases’ receiving out-door relief numbered 4,594, making a total of 14,292 souls, at a cost of 296l. 7s. 11d. for the week. “There has been considerable increase in the week ending the 15th instant. I do not anticipate the numbers will stop short of 18,000 before August. This will be understood from what I have hitherto stated of the utter absence of employment, and the large number evicted and houseless. “Disease, I regret to say, keeps pace with destitution; overcrowded cabins, the result of the numerous evictions, generates disease rapidly. I am unceasingly occupied in relieving and endeavouring to remedy this evil.” EVICTIONS IN THE KILRUSH UNION. 7

ExTRACT from Report of Captain KENNEDY:—June 27, 1848. Kilrush Union, Extract from “SEVERAL of those wretched dens were without light or air, and I was Report of Captain. obliged to light a piece of bog-fir to see where the sick lay, while many good Kennedy. and substantial houses lay in ruins about them. Whatever the necessity, or whatever future good these clearances may effect, they are productive of an amount of present suffering and mortality which would scare the proprietors were they to see it. And the evil still goes on. During the last week, about 60 more souls have been left houseless on one small property, to crowd into the already overcrowded cabins, and create disease.”

Captain Kennedy Captain KENNEDY to the CoMMIssioners:—July 5, 1848. to the Commis THE numbers on the relief list in this Union have been steadily increas sioners. ing since last December, and have now arrived at an amount which I conceive renders some explanation necessary, to guard myself and the Vice-Guardians, from a charge of mal-administration and profuse expenditure of the Union funds. Twenty thousand, or one-fourth of the population, are now in receipt of daily food, either in or out of the workhouse. Disease has unfortunately kept pace with destitution, and the high mortality at one period since last November, in and out of the workhouse, was most distressing. I have frequently been astonished by the sudden and unexpected pressure from certain localities; this naturally induced an inquiry into the causes, and eventually into a general review of the whole Union. The result of this inquiry has convinced me, that destitution has been increased and its character fearfully aggravated by the system of wholesale evictions which has been adopted; that a fearful amount of disease and mortality has also resulted from the same causes, I cannot doubt. I have painful experience of it daily. To make this understood, I may state in general terms, that about 900 houses, containing probably 4,000 occupants, have been levelled in this Union since last November. The wretchedness, ignorance, and helplessness of the poor on the western coast of this Union prevent them seeking a shelter else where; and to use their own phrase, they “don’t know where to face;” they linger about the localities for weeks or months, burrowing behind the ditches, under a few broken raſters of their former dwelling, refusing to enter the workhouse till the parents are broken down and the children half starved, when they come into the workhouse to swell the mortality, one by one. Those who obtain a temporary shelter in adjoining cabins are not more fortunate. Fever and dysentery shortly make their appearance, when those affected are put out by the road-side, as carelessly and ruthlessly as if they were animals; when frequently, after days and nights of exposure, they are sent in by the relieving officers when in a hopeless state. These inhuman acts are in duced by the popular terror of fever. I have frequently reported cases of this sort. The misery attendant upon these wholesale and simultaneous evictions is frequently aggravated by hunting these ignorant, helpless creatures off the property, from which they perhaps have never wandered five miles. It is not an unusual occurrence to see 40 or 50 houses levelled in one day, and orders given that no remaining tenant or occupier should give them even a night's shelter. I have known some ruthless acts committed by drivers and sub-agents, but no doubt according to law, however repulsive to humanity; wretched hovels pulled down, where the inmates were in a helpless state of fever and nakedness, and left by the road side for days. As many as 300 souls, creatures of the most helpless class, have been left houseless in one day, and the suffering and misery resulting therefrom attri buted to insufficient relief or mal-administration of the law: it would not be a matter of surprise that it failed altogether in such localities as those I allude to. When relieved, charges of profuse expenditure are readily preferred. The evicted crowd into the back lanes and wretched hovels of the towns and villages, scattering disease and dismay in all directions. The character of some 8 REPORTS AND RETURNS REIATING TO

Kilrush Union. of these hovels defies description. I, not long since, found a widow whose three children were in fever, occupying the piggery of their former cabin, which lay beside them in ruins; however incredible it may appear, this place where they had lived for weeks, measured 5 feet by 4 feet, and of corresponding height. I offered her a free conveyance to the workhouse, which she steadily refused; her piggery was knocked down as soon as her children were able to crawl out on recovery: and she has now gone forth a wanderer. I could not induce any neighbour to take her in, even for payment; she had medical aid, and all necessary relief from the Union. There are considerable numbers in this Union at present houseless, or still worse, living in places unfit for human habitation where disease will be con stantly generated. The workhouse has been frequently swamped by this class, and the hospital and infirmary must be so while such a state of things exists. I would not presume to meddle with the rights of property, nor yet to argue the expediency or necessity of these “monster clearances,” both one and the other no doubt frequently exist; this, however, renders the efficient and systematic administration of the Poor Law no less difficult and embarrassing. I think it incumbent on me to state these facts for the Commissioners' information, that they may be aware of some of the difficulties I have to deal with. The difficulty of arriving at strictly accurate information on this head, is obvious; but the general accuracy of the returns I forward may be relied upon. They show the name of the lands and the numbers evicted, being 2,801 persons. I have returns of about 400 more in preparation, and I do not think I have yet got through two-thirds of the number of houses levelled or persons evicted in the Union. A great number of temporary huts which have been erected are altogether insufficient for shelter in the winter months. The listless and im provident owners lack the means and energy to better them.

Fifty-seven dwelling-houses were levelled on this Property in one day and part of a second.

Captain KENNEDY to the CoMMissioMERs:—August 13, 1848. Captain Kennedy to the Commis I REGRET to say that these monster evictions still continue. Sloners. During the last week 44 families were evicted, and the houses levelled, on one property. I am not yet in a position to report with any degree of accuracy, but I will do so during the week. A band of paupers taken from some distant stone breaking depôts, and armed with spades, crow-bars, and pickaxes, completed

this work of destruction. - The results and consequences of this system are matters for the most serious and painful consideration, to those intrusted with the administration of the poor law. These helpless creatures, not only unhoused but driven off the lands, no one remaining on the lands being allowed to lodge or harbour them. It is obvious they must go somewhere till disease and privation thin their numbers; and wherever they acquire a residence the proprietor must eventually suffer, both in purse and character for the neglect or cupidity of others. Without means or energy they cannot emigrate, and without employment they cannot exist but on the rates. When winter sets in these evicted destitute will be in awful plight, as their temporary sheds, behind ditches or old fences, are quite unfit for human habitation, and if they attempted to build anything permanent they would be immediately demolished. If the records of the Sheriff's Office connected with this Union for the last nine months were produced, they would account for much of the death and destitu tion of the Union. The owners of villages or town properties will be swamped by this system. The fugitives naturally congregate in them. This has oc curred to such an extent in one village, that I understand it is the intention to demolish it altogether. I am given to understand that the rental of some proprietors will not pay the mortgages, so that the agents and managers must take some unusual means of meeting the demands upon them.

The CoMMissionERs to Captain KENNEDY :—August 24, 1848. The C, mmissioners to Capt. Kennedy. With reference to that part of your Report of the 13th instant in which you advert to the evictions which have taken place in Kilrush Union, and state that a band of paupers taken from some distant stone-breaking depôts, and armed with spades, crow-bars, and pickaxes, completed the work of destruc tion in levelling the houses, I am directed by the Commissioners for adminis E 20 REPORTS AND RETURNS RELATING TO

Kilrush Union. tering the Laws for the Relief of the Poor in Ireland to request, that you will - ascertain and report to the Commissioners how it happened that paupers in receipt of relief, and employed at stone-breaking, were allowed to assist in effecting the clearances referred to.

Captain Kennedy to the Commis Captain KENNEDY to the CoMMissioners:–August 25, 1848. Sloners. IN reply to your communication of the 24th instant, I have the honour to inform you, that the band of paupers therein adverted to were hired by the sub-agent, and taken away from the stone breaking depôt, for the purposes I have stated. They, of course, received no relief for the day they were absent, nor for some days after, as the relieving officer ascertained that they received a high rate of wages for this service. I did not intend to convey that the implements used by these paupers were Union or public property.

Captain Kennedy to the Commis Captain KENNEDY to the CoMMIssionERs:—August 14, 1848. sioners. WITH reference to my Reports of the 5th and 31st July, 1848, I have the honour to enclose returns of the eviction of 97 families, numbering 513 souls. The dates are specified on the return. I fear I shall be called upon to add largely to this list during the present or ensuing week. ENCLosures.

Captain Kennedy Captain KENNEDY to the CoMMISSIONERs:—October 17, 1848. to the Commis sioners. - I HAVE only to remark that I believe the statement to be true. Notice was not served upon the relieving officer, and I fear he is implicated with the agent Kean, to whose sister he is married. I would beg for the Commissioners' instructions in this matter.

ENCLosURE. STATEMENT of Mary Doherty.—I am wife to %. Doherty, of Clondrinee. He held ten acres of land from Mr. George Barclay. Charles Kean is his agent. One-third of that land was let by George Doherty to Thomas Waters: both parties were served with a notice to quit at November last, for non-payment of rent. Thomas Waters had a house upon the |. Upon last Saturday week (the 7th Oc tober, 1848), Charles Kean, the agent, came to the lands, with four men, Pat Halpin, James Burke, Paddy Shea, and John Burke. They all came into my house. Charles Kean commenced breaking the door-frame, and throwing the things out. EVICTIONS IN THE KILRUSH UNION. 29

I told him I would not quit the house that day; there was no sheriff or police there ; Kilrush Union. they all commenced throwing my things out; I would not quit the house. They then commenced throwing down the house, beginning at the four corners, with spades. Pat Halpin laid hold of me, and dragged me out; Kean gave him two sticks, to stand at the door, and prevent me going in again till they tumbled the house; the four corners of the house were tumbled before they dragged me out. I resisted to the utmost, but they over powered me ; my side and my foot are much hurt; the house is completely levelled and some of the furniture broken, which they threw down the house upon. There were four of my children in the house with me at the time; my husband was absent at the time. I am now living in a small hut, under some sticks and straw, adjoining the house. My hus band, I believe, owed two years' rent; my husband would not have given possession if he had been at home. We had no place to go to ; I was obliged to borrow clothes from some neighbours to come here to-day ; one of my daughters, Dorcas Doherty, can corroborate this statement. Charles Kean promised me the relief if I would give up the land, and ve me a ticket to Mr. Ginnane, the relieving officer. Mr. Ginnane said I might starve in the street, I should not get a grain of . Charles Kean's sister is married to Mr.

Ginnane, the relieving officer. - Thomas Waters, of Clondrinee, states, I hold one-third of George Doherty's land; my rent is paid all but 16s., for which I was decreed, and gave an I O U for that amount, was present when Charles Kean, Pat Halpin, James Burke, John Burke, and Pat Shea came to take possession of George Doherty's house on the 7th October. He was absent, and his wife refused the possession; she said she would be killed before she quitted it. I saw Kean assisting to pull down the house, and throw the things out. Mary Doherty was in the house when they were pulling it down; a good part of the house was down before she quit it; the walls and part of the roof. I went away before she was dragged out of the house; I saw some of the children in the house at the same time; they had no means, and no where to go to. Mr. Ginnane, relieving officer, stated to Captain Kennedy, on Saturday, 14th October, when questioned about this case, that no notice had been served upon him, and did not believe the house had been thrown down.

Mr. REDINGTON to the CoMMIssionERs:—October 28, 1848. Mr. Redington to the Commissioners, I AM directed by the Lords Justices to state that their Excellencies consider that Captain Kennedy should be informed that any illegal acts, such as those described, are contrary to the provisions of 11th Vict, c. 47, and the parties may be proceeded against under that statute.

The CoMMISSIONERs to Captain KENNEDY —November 1, 1848. The Commissioners to Captain WITH respect to proceedings by the Vice-Guardians for recovery of the Kennedy. penalty under section 6 of the 11th and 12th Vict, cap. 47, I am to state that the Commissioners have consulted their solicitors on the subject, and they have been advised as follows:— It does not appear, from the documents before us, whether or not the persons charged with the offence were acting under the authority of a writ, decree, order, or other process; if they were, and that no notice was served on the relieving officer as provided by the Act, we conceive that the landlord or other person on whose behalf such writ, decree, order, or process was “sued out,” is clearly liable to the penalty imposed by section 6 of the Act 11th and 12th Vict., chap. 47. But whether acting under such authority or not, the parties implicated in the transaction referred to have been clearly guilty of a misdemeanour under the 7th section of the Act, and open to prosecution. The Vice-Guardians, however, have only to consider the question of pro ceeding for penalty under the 6th section of the Act above referred to. Any other offence against the law which may have been committed in this case is cognizable by the Courts of Justice on prosecution instituted in the

usual course. - 30 REPORTS AND RETURNS RELATING TO

Kilrush Union. The Vice-GUARDIANs to the CoMMissionERs:—October 20, 1848. The Vice-Guardians to the Commis THE last week has exhibited in fearful colours the progressive destitution sioners. resulting fram evictions, voluntary surrender of holdings by tenants on being discharged from all claims of rents. The number of houses thrown down must amount to near 2,000 since November, 1847; and the number of houseless, landless, naked wretches that must be wholly dependent for every means of existence on the rates must render it impossible to effect such object by ordinary means; and before the pressure increases, I deem it my duty to lay the posture of affairs before the Commissioners.

Extract from Vice Extract from the WICE-GUARDIANs' REPORT:— October 21, 1848. Guardians' Report. “THE number of houses now thrown down, and of families thereby rendered totally destitute, is daily increasing to a fearful extent. In most instances, the plan adopted by the landlords has been to proceed by Civil Bill against the person of the tenant, and on his being arrested, to discharge him from gaol on his having the house thrown down, and possession given to land lord by the remainder of his family, or by his friends; in other cases, a small sum is given to the tenant, and discharge from all claim of rent, on the house being thrown down and possession given up. In both these cases, the landlord is not obliged to give notice, nor does he incur any penalty, as no ejectment or legal process has been instituted for the recovery of the lands and premises, and the object intended by the Act, “to allow preparation to be made ‘ for the reception or subsistence of the families,' is totally defeated.”

Captain Kennedy to Captain KENNEDY to the CoMMissionERs:—October 25, 1848. the Commissioners. IN reference to my Report of the 5th July, 1848, I have the honour to transmit a list of the evictions of 49 familes numbering 271 souls. Notices for the eviction of about 300 more have been served upon the Vice Guardians.

Kilrush Union. The WICE-GUARDIANs to the CoMMISSIONERs:—October 31, 1848. The Vice-Guardians to the Commis WE have to enclose a note, given to us by the relieving officer of sioners. Killard Division, of possession having been taken of a house and premises without the necessary notice being served on him ; and as this is the first case that has come to our notice, we beg the directions of the Commissioners for our guidance, as most probably many similar instances may be laid before us.

ENclosure.

To the Vice-GUARDIANs of the Kilrush Unions. I BEG to inform you, that Michael Dillon, of Mountrivers, in the Killard district, was deprived of his home, and five aeres of land he held from Mr. Richard Studdert. The cause of his eviction was, as I am informed, non-payment of rent; notice not being served On Ille.

The Commissioners The CoMMIssionERs to the WICE-GUARDIANs:–November 7, 1848. to the Vice Guardians. WITH respect to your request for instructions in regard to a case of eviction without notice, I am to state, that in all cases of eviction under legal process, in which the notice required by the 2nd section of the 11th and 12th Vict, c. 47, is omitted to be given, it is the duty of the Vice-Guardians to proceed to enforce the penalty under the 6th section.

Extract from Vice ExtRAct from the WICE-GUARDIANs’ REPORT:—October 31, 1848. Guardians' Report. “Evictions and levelling houses continue to progress extensively, and it is evident that an enormous and new class of paupers, lately farmers and rate payers, will be thrown on the rates for support and clothing, to an extent that will, we much apprehend, exceed any in-door accommodation we can possibly provide.”

Extract from ExTRACT from Report of Captain KENNEDY —November 7, 1848. Report of Captain Kennedy. “I can Not lead the Commissioners to expect other than a rapid in crease of numbers becoming chargeable to the rates, and it cannot under existing circumstances be otherwise. “The extent of destitution which I anticipate, and which exists in the Union may be readily accounted for. Large numbers are employed during the summer cutting and saving turf, but at a scale of remuneration barely sufficient to sup port existence. Many more earn a precarious livelihood by fishing in the summer months, but in the winter they cannot venture out with their wretched boats and tackle on this iron-bound coast. The money spent by summer visitors is also wanting—to these must be added all those small landholders who have been since last spring evicted. I believe that this class alone num bers 9000 souls, and that 8000 of these are without even shelter, as an eviction seldom occurs without the demolition of the house. They are swarming over the Union in temporary sheds and huts, which are unfit for human occupation, and from which they are daily driven by the inclement weather. “I do not believe that there are a sufficient number of labourers in this Union to bring it to the same state of cultivation and productiveness as some parts of the county of Down and Antrim; and yet the whole labouring popu lation are starving, while hardly an acre is drained or improved. At a very moderate computation, I believe that four times the quantity of food might be produced.”

Captain Kennedy Captain KENNEDY to the CoMMIssionERs:—November 9, 1848. to the Commis sioners, HEREWITH I have the honour to forward Returns of the evictions of 44 families, numbering 259 souls, to be appended to my Report of the 5th July, 1848. In addition to these, 56 ejectment cases were tried at the Quarter Sessions during the last week. EVICTIONS IN THE KILRUSH UNION. 33

Extract from Extract from Report of Captain KENNEDY :—December 4, 1848. Report of Captain Kennedy. “My acquaintance with the state of this Union does not allow me to be lieve that the numbers becoming chargeable to the rates will stop short of 20,000. This can hardly be a matter of surprise when I state (what the Commissioners are in possession of) that I have forwarded returns of the eviction of 6090 souls since last July. These small holders when evicted and their houses levelled, are the most hopeless and helpless class of paupers, being in almost every instance encumbered with a large family. The number I have stated does not comprise all those who have voluntarily surrendered, or who have been dis ssessed in various other modes. When 6090 souls are added to the fair average of the infirm and helpless class in so large a population, the number on the relief list may be readily accounted for. “I must again repeat what I have so frequently reported, that there is a total absence of employment at any scale of remuneration. I can, even in the neighbourhood of a town, procure the services of a good able-bodied labourer for his food alone. “I have reluctantly come to the conclusion that the amount of rate and employment (or rather absence of it) bear no relation to each other in this Union, and that, under existing cercumstances, the absence of employment would be the same whether the rate were 15s. or 150.”

Captain Kennedy to Captain KENNEDY to the CoMMIssioners:—December 18, 1848. the Commissioners. I HAVE the honour to transmit further lists of evictions, numbering 369 souls, to accompany my Report of 5th July, 1848. EVICTIONS IN THE KILRUSH UNION. 37

Extract of a Report from Captain KENNEDY:—January 22, 1849. Extract of a Report from Capt. Kennedy. “I MAY here remark, that the number of houseless poor in the Union, whose cabins have been levelled, renders the workhouse test comparatively inoperative; they in the majority of instances seek it for shelter as much as food. This class is daily on the increase. I cannot estimate the evictions in the Union much under 150 souls per week, and I anticipate little decrease for

some months to come. - “The number in receipt of out-door relief on the 13th January (date of last return) was as follows:—under section 1, being the infirm widows, orphans, &c., 3547 cases, numbering 84.79 persons; under section 2, being the able-bodied and their dependents, 2532 cases, numbering 10,102 persons, making a total of 18,581 souls. The former class is unusually numerous in this Union; insufficient or bad food, want of clothing, and exposure in a wet climate, break down many before their time, and throw them upon the rates; their existence is one con H 44 REPORTS AND RETURNS RELATING TO

Kilrush Union. tinued struggle for life. Of the latter class, there are but few who realize my idea of an able-bodied labourer; the great mass of them are called so, more in relation to their years than their physical power, or in contradistinction to those who are in the last stage of disease or existence. Men are called able-bodied here who would not be so designated elsewhere. “I anticipate a steady but not rapid increase of numbers between this and the 1st of April, till the numbers reach a total of probably 22,000. Spring work is unusually late on the wet and undrained land in this Union. A tem porary decrease of numbers may be calculated upon from the middle of April till the middle of June, but not to the extent which might be expected at this SeaSOn. “The tillage is completed in a miserable, scratching, slovenly manner—the small farmers assisting one another, and employing but little labour. I antici. pate a large quantity of land being left untilled: many farms are being thrown up, the occupiers becoming convinced that they can no longer pay a potato rent when they can only grow corn on undrained land. The general letting, compared with other parts of the country with which I am acquainted, is unusually high. I know one district (distant from any town or village) where there were thirty-five occupiers last year and there are now but eleven. Much of the land so cleared or vacated will remain in grass or weeds, affording no employment for this year. I cannot calculate upon an average of less than 20,000 (or one-fourth of the population, according to the census of 1841) being chargeable to the rates between this time and harvest. I do not offer this opinion at random. I have inquired into and studied the subject diligently and anxiously. I have now almost a personal knowledge of the paupers. Some individuals, whose opinion I respect, think otherwise; but I fear it is because it is their interest to do so. “I have from time to time scrutinized the out-door relief list in each division, assisted by all the ratepayers who could afford information as to the state of the poor. I have seen almost every soul of them; and I cannot be very far wrong in the estimate I have formed of their numbers. It ceases to be a matter of surprise that I estimate their numbers so high when it is beyond a doubt that 13,000 to 13,000 persons have been evicted within the year. “The next subject to which my attention is directed is by far the most im portant and most embarrassing, viz., the funds which the Union is likely to derive from the poor rates before next harvest. I have on former occasions stated my belief, that they will be totally insufficient to meet the current ex penses. A reference to a late return, showing the number and value of the holdings, will show the absence of yeomen, gentry, or persons of means in the Union. The lands have been already literally swept for rent. I frequently travel fifteen miles without seeing five stacks of grain of any kind; all threshed and sold. Rent has seldom or ever been looked for more sharply, and levied more unsparingly, than this year. The farmers are now sitting upon bare aCreS. “The amount of stock in the Union is trifling, and the animals appear to have shared in the general destitution. Twenty-five head of cattle seized and sold in Kilrush for rent during the week realized the most incredible price of 311. “The rate must be primarily levied from the occupiers, and the occupiers, generally speaking, have it not. The ratepayers in this Union have, with few exceptions, paid their rates honestly and cheerfully, while suffering severe privations themselves. I have paid particular attention to this matter. I have been fourteen months in charge of the Union; on some occasions collected 1000l. per week for 8d. per pound, and never once had occasion to apply for the aid of a single policeman. This fact would distinguish the orderly and peaceful character of West Clare from other parts of it. The rate collectors might, and I think should, be of a better class; and the Vice-Guardians endea vour to carry out this view upon every vacancy which occurs. “The means of the occupiers are, I cannot doubt, much exhausted by paying a potato rent for land that will no longer grow them. Those who have means are, from various causes, averse to lay out the capital necessary to the success ful growing of other crops. Of the proprietors there are but few resident. I cannot speak of their means; I only know that there has not been any amount of poor rate levied in this Union seriously to injure them; no more than any man of common humanity ought voluntarily to bestow in disastrous times. EVICTIONS IN THE KILRUSH UNION. 45

That they are, generally speaking, embarrassed, I fear is a melancholy truth, Kilrush Union. and goes far to account for the existing want of employment and consequent destitution. The destitution in this Union is a mighty and fearful reality; it is in vain to strive to falsify or forget its existence; yet no combined effort, and hardly an individual one, is made to alleviate or arrest it. A few philanthropic individuals continue to afford their mite of relief and employment, but their example is not taking. There is a general lack of energy; the better part of the community seem, for the most part, as apathetic as if the country were comparatively prosperous; while demoralization, disease, and death, are spread ing like a cancer. I see the masses of the people starving, and the land, which could be made to feed treble the number, lying all but waste. “I think an amount of rate sufficient to keep the Union for three months between this and harvest could with difficulty be levied. This leads me to the inquiry, what are the precise causes of the destitution existing in the Union? Simply want of employment and wholesale evictions, and the land being left scarce half tilled. Why naturally fine and fertile land should be left undrained and unimproved, when hundreds of labourers can be had for 4d to 5d. per

diem, and many for their food alone, is difficult to understand. - “The facile mode by which the landlord or middleman hitherto obtained exorbitant rents, and the labourer or peasant a wretched subsistence, has un fitted each for energetic exertion. The greater portion of this Union was essentially a potato country, yielding the most prolific return. The peasant's life was passed in planting his potatoes in spring, digging them up in autumn, and dozing through the winter, over the turf fire which cost him nothing. His potatoes are now gone, and with them his pig and means of buying clothing. He must now go naked and starve, unless he gets employment or gratuitous relief.”

ExTRAct of a Report from the WICE-GUARDIANs:—January 22, 1849. Extract of a Re ort from the “Evictions and throwing down houses continue to be carried on to large ice-Guardians. extents, and the quarter sessions now going on, shows that a large number of ejectments are in process; and we know that within a fortnight upwards of 800 beings have been evicted from their homes. We cannot, therefore, make any calculation that may come near the amount, but are of opinion that at least 2000 persons will be added in some parts of the intermediate season, and that about the same number will be off the list in the months of April to June; they increase from that to October.”

ExTRAct from Report of Captain KENNEDY —April 3, 1849. Extract from Report of Captain “The number in receipt of out-door relief (under both sections of the Kennedy. Act), on the 24th March, was 22,661, at a weekly cost of 5591. for food alone. This number shows an increase of 170 persons on that of the previous week. “The increase is accounted for by the fact, that nearly double the number have been evicted, or deprived of their dwellings within the same period without the possibility of obtaining any employment. They must, under these circumstances, either come upon the rates or die; the latter, I fear, too fre quently following upon the former alternative. “On one farm alone, in Kilmurry (the most miserable district in the Union), where there were 73 houses within the last 10 months, there are now but 13. “I also enclose a petition, marked ‘E,' being one of hundreds which I have received to the same purport. This houseless class become more embarrassing daily, and I fear a money allowance for lodging, in addition to food, will ere long be forced upon the Vice-Guardians. “I would earnestly bespeak the Commissioners' consideration to the state of this Union, and especially as to pecuniary assistance. “The destitution and misery in some districts cannot be exaggerated. “The scale of relief afforded is sufficient for any temporary purpose, but obviously insufficient for the permanent support of a family without shelter or clothing. “I te hundreds breaking down daily, and becoming prematurely infirm or diseased, and the children will be a burden on the dispensaries while they live. H 2 46 REPORTS AND RETURNS RELATING TO

Kilrush Union. “ Unless employment be given in some shape, thousands must perish prema turely, or live to encumber the Union as “helpless’ and “infirm.’ “I have during the past week been employed on the average fully twelve hours a-day. My feelings are deeply enlisted in the state of the poor, and I will spare no effort while I can render any service.

The humble petition The Humble Petition of PATT LUMANE. of Patt Lumane. SHEweth, “THAT he has neither house nor home, nor place to shelter him; no person would admit him or give him a night's lodging. He has five in family, exposed to all sorts of persecution, therefore he applies to the Board of Guardians to admit him and family into the workhouse, to shelter them. “He was upon out-door relief and had no asylum to eat it.”

Extract from ExtRACT from Report of Captain KENNEDY:—May 7, 1849. Report of Captain Kennedy. “The general state of the Union causes me serious anxiety and pain. I cannot conceal from myself that the condition of the poor becomes daily worse, and the mortality more distressing. “I have conducted Mr. Phelan (the medical inspector) through the western portion of the Union, and I would hope that the Commissioners would call upon him to state his opinion, and afford the benefit of his matured experience, as I freely confess that I distrust my own judgment in such trying circum stances. “I find that my constant and untiring exertions make but little impression upon the mass of fearful suffering. As soon as one horde of houseless, and all but naked paupers are dead, or provided for in the workhouse, another whole sale eviction doubles the number, who, in their turn, pass through the same ordeal of wandering from house, or burrowing in bogs or behind ditches, till, broken down by privation and exposure to the elements, they seek the work house or die by the roadside. The state of some districts of the Union during the last 14 days baffles description; 16 houses, containing 21 families, have been levelled in one small village in “Killard’ division, and a vast number in the rural parts of it. As cabins become fewer, lodgings, however miserable, become more difficult to obtain. And the helpless and houseless creatures thus turned out of the only home they ever knew, betake themselves to the nearest bog or ditch, with their little all, and, thus huddled together, disease

soon decimates them. - “Notwithstanding that fearful and (I believe) unparalled numbers have been unhoused in this Union within the year (probably 15,000), it seems hardly credible that 1200 more have had their dwellings levelled within a fortnight. “I have a list of 760 completed, and of above 400 in preparation. It appears to me almost impossible to successfully meet such a state of things; and the prevailing epidemic, or the dread of it, aggravates the evil. None of this houseless class can now find admittance save into some over-crowded cabin, whose inmates seldom survive a month. I have shown Dr. Phelan some of these miserable nests of pestilence, which I am at a loss to describe. “Five families, numbering 20 souls, are not unfrequently found in a cabin consisting of one small apartment. At “Doombeg,' a few days since, I found three families, numbering 16 persons, one of whom had cholera, and three in a hopeless stage of dysentery. The cabin they occupied consisted of one wretched apartment about 12 feet square. It was one of the few refuges for the evicted, and they were unable to reckon how many had been carried out of it from time to time to the grave. “In another of these deserted and ruined cabins I found a family of these wandering evicted. The father of the family lay dead upon some mouldy straw, two of his children lay sound asleep on and across his lifeless body, and his wife lay, all but dead, in a corner beside a smouldering turf. The history of the family is short, and that of thousands in this miserable and neglected locality. They had been evicted some months ago; found temporary shelter in a low lodging, where they received ‘out-door relief; sickness, the natural EVICTIONS IN THE KILRUSH UNION. 47

result of overcrowding, overtook one of the family; all were (as it is here Kilrush Union. termed) thrown out; when, after wandering and exposure, they found this - miserable shelter wherein to die. “In a cow-shed adjoining this wretched cabin, I found “Ellen Lynch,” lying in an almost hopeless stage of dysentery. She had been carried thither by her son when “thrown out" of her miserable lodging, and was threatened with momentary expulsion from even this refuge by the philanthropic owner of it; her only safety rested in the fears of all but her son to approach her. I was ankle deep in manure while standing beside her. This poor woman is nearly related to an elective member of the Ennis Board of Guardians, and also to one of the late Kilrush Board. Her husband had been lately evicted and died. I had all conveyed to the workhouse. They were all in receipt of out-relief, and had even got medical assistance. It is quite impossible for a relieving officer to watch over these helpless creatures, wandering from place to place; sickness overtakes them where they are not known or cared for, and these horrors ensue. “The state of a great portion of those receiving out-door relief under the 2nd Section is very pitiable. “While inspecting a stone-breaking depôt a few days since, I observed one of the men take off his remnant of a pair of shoes and started across the fields; I followed him with my eye, and at a distance saw the blaze of a fire in the bog. I sent a boy to inquire the cause of it, and the man running from his work, and was told that his house had been levelled the day before, that he had erected a temporary hut on the lands, and while his wife and children were gathering shell-fish on the strand, and he stone-breaking, the bailiff or ‘driver’ fired it. “These ruthless acts of barbarity are submitted to with an unresisting patience hardly credible. “I need not enter upon the financial condition of the Union, which the esti mates forwarded will sufficiently explain. I need only remark, that I antici pate a respectable collection this week, and for some weeks to come, but certainly not sufficient to meet more than half the current expenses of the Union for food alone.”

ExTRACT from Mr. PHELAN's Report:-May 16, 1849. Extract from Mr. Phelan's Report. “I was accompanied by Captain Kennedy through the whole of these districts, into the several cholera hospitals, and into some of the houses, huts, and other indescribably wretched places in which those destitute and diseased swarm; these chiefly were observed in the Carrigaholt district, and in those of Killard and of Kilmurry. I have, in many of the western and southern Unions, seen sights of the most harrowing description, but I do not think that I have ever seen so much wretchedness arising from destitution, as in these places in 1847-8. Epdiemic fever and dysentery produced, it is true, in considerable measure by want, caused great misery, but here, in the absence of ſever, and of dysentery, except that arising from want of food, destitution although endea voured to be met by in-door and out-door relief, has assumed a shape which even in Clifden was not, I think, presented. Families are here literally naked, and at the same time progressing surely and quickly to the grave, by diarrhoea and dropsy. I often found several of these families in one room or hut; for instance, there were four such families in the Kilmurry district; the house, consisting of one room, belonged to a single woman, who resides in it: a man, his wife, and five children, a man and his three sisters, a boy and his sister, and a woman, all lodged with her; nearly all were ill, some dying. Each family was on out-door relief, except the single woman, the owner of the house, who got four pounds of Indian meal per week from the first mentioned, in lieu of fourpence for lodging-money, three pounds from the second, two pounds from the third, and one pound from the fourth. This practice extensively prevails in in this Union especially, in consequence of the numerous evictions which have taken, and are taking place in it. In other Unions the hut is often let to the pauper who lives in it on out-door relief; but here, generally, the reverse is the case, so that a great proportion of those on that relief are congregated into a few such houses as that alluded to, when, of course, they still more add to the tendency to disease which always exists amongst persons so circumstanced; but many of these wretched creatures have not the benefit of an one-room house, 48 REPORTS AND RETURNS RELATING TO

Kilrush Union. nor even of a hut. I felt it my duty to go into several temporary shelters got up on the road side, in fields and in bogs, which shelters were merely a few hurdles thrown across from the ground to the ditch or wall, with some loose straw or rushes, or scraws laid on; these places can only be entered on hands and knees; the utmost height is not above three feet; even a boy or girl cannot stand up in them, yet I found a family of four or five in these places, usually all or most sick; but in some I have found the children naked in bed, the mother gone for ‘the relief, and the father ‘stone-breaking.' I have neither time nor capacity to give even a faint outline of the miserable condition of a large portion of the population in those districts, nor is it my province to do so, except so far as I may find it necessary to give an idea of those physical and moral appearances which I must suppose to be powerful agents in pro ducing disease, and in causing extensive loss of life—circumstances which in such a population must inevitably occur, unless arrested by more means than I fear are at the disposal of the Union authorities, who, I believe, have strenuously exerted themselves as far as their means enabled them.”

The Cºmmissioners The CoMMIssionERs to Sir CHARLEs TREVELYAN:—May 17, 1849. to Sir Charles Trevelyan. I AM directed by the Commissioners for administering the Laws for Relief of the Poor in Ireland, to forward to you, for the information of the Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury, a copy of a Report, which the Commissioners have received from Captain Kennedy, the Temporary Inspector in charge of Kilrush Union, together with copies of the lists of evictions which accompanied it. ENCLosURE. Captain KENNEDY to the CoMMIssioners:—May 13, 1849. I have the honour to transmit returns of the eviction of 151 families, numbering 757 persons, in this Union, within a very short period. Upwards of 400 more have been evicted, the returns of which I have in preparation. The dwellings of nine-tenths of these persons have been levelled to the ground. However great the labour and time required to collect and compile these returns, I consider them valuable records of the state of this nion, and calculated to show the difficulties the officers in charge of it have to contend with. The suffering and misery attendant upon these proceedings is beyond the power of descrip tion.
