Roman Catholic chapel near Ballina,
County Mayo against a farmer named
| Patrick keane.
| Keane and other farmers recently took
portions Of Crannagh farm against the
wishes Of the United Irish league, and
| since then the hostility towards him has
| been growing. Matters reached a climax
| on the Sunday In question when Keane and
a number of his friends were met at the
chapel gates by a large crowd OF people,
who refused to permit them to pass into
TIE building to attend services.
! mo grabbers herer and Away with
theml" the crowd shouted and Keane and
his friends were forced to seek safety.
They were pursued. but were not over
taken
Resolutions have been passed by meetings
OF the United Irish leaguers held through
era and others not to supply the ''grabbers'
with goods Of any description.
AZ a result of these tactics many OF the
farmers have been unable to enter upon the
farms for which they are paying rent.
