In opposition to the above "Rory of the
hills has posted up ,l2 a at Loughrea notice
son for the murder of Dempsey and Connors
as the real offender is at liberty. He is an
offender only in the eye of the law. The
writer of these lines is a man who engaged
and paid for Kidding Galway of land grabbers
and landlords, which work he will do at any
sacrifice. Too long these tyrants have been
allowed to trample on the poor people of per-
secuted Galway. The men to be shot are five
in number, three Protestant landlords and two
Catholics. Does Her Maiesty's government
think to brighten me by Coercion or any such
means? Coercion has no terrors for me, and
rest assured I will do my work before | stop.
Away with tyrants! Too long the country has
been robbed of its natural wealth to feed the
lazy few who call themselves landlords"
