A public meeting held at Ballina lea.
Ashford, concerned itself with pro-
posed eviction in the locality. and it
is interesting from the fact that the
house to be evirted was at one time
the refuge of several Fenian leaders,
including James Stephens. O'Donovan
Rossa. John OLeary and others. Mr..
John Byrne. at the meeting. gave an
interesting resume of the history of
that period, when, despite the offer Of
G 500. the O'Reilly family kept Steph-
ems in safe hiding, and then snlugged
him away in bread car, the drive:
actually delivering bread to the police
barracks. Stephens was subsequently
conveyed through the villages of New
townmountkennedy, Kilmacanogue and
Delgany and eventually on to- killiney.
