THE MITCHELSTOWN MASSACRE.

PERSONAL NARRATIVE OF MR

HENRY LABOUCHERE

COWARDICE OF THE POLICE,

(FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.)

Lokdok, September 16,

Two separate versions are current of the fatal affray afc Mitchelstown last Friday, and the causes which led up to it. In one the constabulary figure as long-suffering victims driven to firearms in sheer self defence ; in the other, as cowards and bullies of the most despicable description. Personally, I prefer to believe the narrative of Mr Labouchere, an eye-witness and a cool-headed man of the world, who has been in plenty of scrimmages in his time, and ■would not be likely either to misrepresent or exaggerate. He says : —

Mitchelstown is a small provincial town : close by it is the park of the Kingstons. It is of considerable extent and surrounds a large palace, built by one of the Earls of Kingston. The estate now belongs to the wife of a Mr Webber, formerly a land agent. Thia lady's first husband was an Earl of Kingston, who managed to put an end to the entail by borrowing about £200,000. from the Disestablished Church on mort gage : then he left . the estate to his widow. Most of the tenants are lease holders, and therefore were unable to go to the land courts for a reduction of rents. One or two, however, with the consent of their landlady, did go, and the reduction they obtained was 15 per cent. This was some years ago, and estimating by recent decisions a Land Court would now, if it had the opportunity, make an average reduction of about 35 per cent. The tenants two years ago asked their landlady to grant them a reduction of 20 per cent. Having nothing to live in but a huge palace, and nothing to live on but the profits from farming their park, and the margin between what the Land Courts term a fair rent and that which is exacted from the tenants, a fair rent means to the owners absolute ruin, so the demand for a reduc tion was declined. The Plan of Campaign was inaugurated for the last three gales; no rent has been paid, and in reply to notices of eviction tenants have barricaded their, houses, some of which are like for tresses. Mr Wm. O'Brien encouraged them to do this, and rightly I think. It must be remembered that the people had built their home 3 and made their farms fertile, and that the rents are ex cessive and extortionate. They have never sought to escape from payment of rent; all they demand is either that the Land Courts should say what rent will be fair, or that Lady Kingston should give a reduction admittedly considerably less than would be granted by the Courts. Under the Crimes Act Mr O'Brien has been prose cuted, and he was ordered to appear before two resident magistrates at Mitchelstown last Friday. Not wishing to recognise the jurisdiction of these two magistrates, he would not go to Mitchels town on Friday, .but left the Court to issue a decree for his arrest, and to take its own Bteps to bring him before it. I was in Ireland* and had contemplated going to Mitehelstown to hear the trial. When Mr O'Brien announced, hia intention not to go, I and two other English, roenjberji. Me Brunner and Mr Ellis, aetermined* to ac company Mr Dillon there in order to be able to form some estimate of the rents in dis pute between Lady Kingston and her tenants. At 7 a.m. we started from Dublin by train, and at midday arrived afc Cahir. It was market day there, and when we went to the hotel to ar range for carriages to proceed to Mitchela town the people came round the hotel, and deputations of the Corporation of Clonmel and of the local National League presented addresses, in which they expressed their sense of all that Mr Gladstone and the Liberal party had done to promote the cause of Home Rule. Then we started in four or five carriages and brakes. Mitchelstown is about 15 miles from Cahir. At two or three miles from it we were met by some horsemen who had been waiting for us as an advance guard, and they closed round the carriages. They accompanied us about two miles. One was on a roan horse and stuck close to the side of the first carriage. This was not good enough for -the roan, who proceeded to rear up and then deposited his fore legs inside the carriage. We had some difficulty in con vine ing him that he was an intruder, but having •love so we pushed on merrily and soon reached the outside of the town, where there was a procession with bands and^ banners, which had been awaiting our arrival fora couple of hours. Wo all fell in, and with banners flying and drums beating paraded through the town, finally drawing up in the market-place. Now, what was the meaning of this procession ? The inhabi tants of Mitchelstown and its neigh bourhood had heard that Mr Dillon and some English members intended to visit the town, and they wished to do honour to Mr Dillon, and to recognise the good feelingthat now happily exists between the democracies of Great Britain and Ire land by a merry welcome to British mem bers of Parliament who belong to the De mocratic party. The most stringent orders had "been issued to all composing the procession to conduct themselves pro perly, to remain out of the town until they were told to enter it, to indulge in no stone-throwing, and conduct them selves in a peaceful and orderly manner. I am convinced, however, that the police and the other authorities had determined if possible to create a disturbance. They had sent soldiers and constabulary into the town on the previous evening, and it is clear to me that they had made up their minds to teach the people that in welcoming English Liberal members they are guilty of a high crime and misdemeanour. They were to be taught a Tory lesson.

Cowardly Constabulary.

The market-place where we pulled up is about the size of Trafalgar Square, and is on a slope. There were some brakes on the tipper end, and into one of these brakes we were inducted. There were already in it about half-a-dozen priests and some other gentlemen, amongst them being the mayors of Cork- and Clonmel. Along the lower end runs the main street. A more y orderly and indeed a more merry crowd I never saw. They cheered for Mr Dillon, for the English members, fop England, and again and again for Mr Gladstone. The people were congregated round the brake, and outside were the men on horseback. Beyond them there were men standing and walking about. ~ Mr Dillon said to me, " Let us make shor^wOrk of this. We had better only speak'a few minutes each, as Isuspecfc that the constabu lary will interfere if they get a chance." The Bey. "Father McCarthy was invited to pre side, and at once called on Mr Dillon to epeak. He had hardly spoken two sen tences when we saw a large bddy of police forming line on the lower portion of the market place. They pushed forward: about a dozen meji > with \ sword. bayptiet& by their sides and batons in their hands. Those men commenced' to force their way ihrbugh i>!ie crowd, apt we uritfer- Btand that they had a reporter in their midst,' Captain Seagratfe, -the

resident magistrate, remained, I believe, with the main body of the police. By thia time the reporter with his escort was as near to the head of the brake as a member at the bar of the House of Commons is to the Speaker. One of the constabulary at this moment drew his bayonet and wounded one of the horses, The horse reared, on which two policemen batoned the rider. The escort v with the reporter fell back on the main1* body of the police, and all together rushed upon the crowd. Right and left at once, sticks were raised and there was a scrimmage, but as a few of the crowd had thick sticks, and as few even of these could get at the police, the resistance was slight ; but the police seemed to be as cowardly as they were brutal.

Captain Seagrave Ban Like a Hare.

After a minute or two they fled in dis order to their barracks, with the exception of Captain Seagrave, who ran like a hare to a neighbouring hotel, where he!seems to have concealed himself for some time. These barracks are situated in the main street, a few doors from one of the lower corners of the market place. Mr Dillon jumped down from the brake and waited to the barracks, in order to see, if possible, the head of the con stabulary, and to urge him to refrain from further incitement to disorder. The door was closed, but on his knocking he was let in. He found the police in a wild state of excitement. They had dragged two men into.the barracks, a*nd were bludgeoning themas they lay with their faces downwards. He describes the chief constable as almost beside himself, and in reply tp^ repeated re quests to keep his police withiivbounds, he said he > would march with, his police. With the greatest difficulty'indeed, by hanging on to his arm, Mr Dillon pre vented his rushing-out with his \ men shooting right and left. Whilst there some of the police mounted into the upper rooms and proceeded to fire at the angle of the market place which was the line of fire. There were a few people there. Some say that a few stones had been thrown at the barracks, others that none were thrown, but in any case there was no crowd, and hardly any one in the street, and the police were in perfect safety.

Toe People Snot Down,

Three men were hit; one was killed at once, one died in a few hours, and the third was badly wounded. It is a re markable fact that the second man was a car-driver who had refused the previous night to drive the police from Fermoy. In fche meanwhile Mr Brunner and I re mained on the brake. Soon Mr Brunner got down, and with, the priests urged the people to withdraw. I stayed on the brake. A second body of police from another police-station now rushed into the market-place wildly striking anyone that they met. Stones were naturally flung at them, and they fled, tumbling over one another into a priest's house. The market place was by this time nearly empty. The police emerged from their retreat in the priest's house, and formed along the top of market place.. Mr Brunner and I on this went to the police barracks, where we found a line of policemen with loaded rifles drawn across the road, and Captain Seagrave, who up to this time had declined to emerge from his concealment, stood plainly before them, with Mr Brownrigg, the head of the County Constabulary. Cap tain Seagrave was deadly pale, and his eyes had a wild, I may say almost a demented, look. I asked him whether the meeting had been proclaimed ; he refused to reply, but finally explained that we had no right to hold it on the market-place, because he had let it be known in the morning that he would not allow bands to be played in tfae town as long as the resident magistrate's .court was uitting.. I .pointed out to him that the corirt had risen Bom© hours ajto. To 'thlS he said nothing. I asked him whether the Riot Act had been read. He replied that he was obeying orders, and that he had nothing to do with politics. I then asked him whether he would allow a meeting to be held outside the town.

The Military Sent For.

He said that he would, but Mr Brown rigg took him aside, and after a few moments' conversation withi that officer he answered that he withdrew his per mission, he could not allow a meeting to be held anywhere, and that he bad sent for the military. We all walked about, urging the people to go home and inform ing them of* Captain Seagrave'fl intentions. When the soldiers arrived and drew up at the bottom of the market place, there re mained no excuse for further acts of violence On the part either of the military or of the police. In spite of this, however, Captain Seagrave sent policemen in pairs armed with rifles to walk as if to invite stone throwing, in which design, however, thanks to our exertions and a numerous body of priests, he was not, I am happy to say, suc cessful

Brownrigg the Bully.

About six o'clock it was deemed expedient that with a view to ulterior proceedings the chief of the constabulry should be asked (if he had not given the order to fire from-bar racks) to have the rifles of the men examined in order that it might be known which of his men had fired. Mr Dillon and I went to the barracks to demand that this should be done. We found Brownrigg standing at the door with a number' of policemen round him. I have seen the Russians in Poland'; I have seen the Auatriana in Lombardy; I have Been the Prussians in France; but I never in the. course of my life came across so offensive a specimen of an official with brute force at his back. He seemed to consider that it Was almost treason for an orderly citizen to ask him a question. "I am not here to answer you or anyone else," he shouted. In vain I ex plained that if theoi'd'er t6 fire had hot been given by him it was only reasonable that an examination should take place, and added, "I shall state how you have acted and your present action in the House of Commons." "■What! a'threat to me!" he said. "We can have none of thia—if you do not go away at once I will have you cleared away." On this I withdrew, not wishing to prolong my interview with this master of many policemen. I subsequently heard that he had,a little while ago been summoned before a magistrate for wantonly assaulting a gentleman in the streets. The prosecutor urged that he was drunk and the magistrate had to commit him. He fined him one farthing. In conclusion I assert that two men more unfit for their delicate duties than Captain Seagrave and Mr Brownrigg could 1 not be found on the face of the globe. One is apparently a weak creature, who loses his head; the other is ■ a bully, in whose eyes all who venture /tq look askance on him ought to be shot. They are responsible.!, for the deaths that took place. They by their bungling and bullying created tho disturbance, and if every man had his deserts they would be sentenced to lengthy terras of imprisonment.; It must be remembered that, all these occurrences took place under the common law, and if permissible in Ireland they are also permissible in England. Had they taken place in London what would have been said ?r-^ Yours obediently, . „' : '..',

H. Laboucherb. Mitchelet6wn, Saturday. ; % : | After tho Affray. •

Anofchercorrespondent, writing later,says: —Mitchelstown resembles a place in a state of siege. On Friday evening all the public-house keepers in the town received orders not to open their premises before ten o'clock next morning. The opening Of the shops made very little difference in the busi ness of the town. Almost the only busi ness was to talk of deeds of jester day- At the shop doora, at the-street corners, atodd groups of men, sullen and mostly silent; country women, with! their

heads covered by the hdods of their long dark cloaks, assembled in the streets and in the large square as if for a day of mourning. Now and again there arose a cry of execration and hate as some body of constabulary tramped past, armed with rifles. "Cowards!" "Mur derers !" came the revengeful cry from men and women alike. On the one hand, the constabulary watching at the barrack gates, or posted at the cross roads, or patrolling the side paths with rifles leaning over their left arm ; on the other, a scowling populace ready to hoot and curse. These were the irreconcilable elements into which the crime of Friday afternoon left this town divided. For the slow kaleidoscopic shifting of these groups of men and women there was one spot that seemed unchanging. It was the spdC near the edge of the square, where the first victim in Friday's strife, Michael Land rigan, fell, shot through the brain. Men and women bent down to dip their hand kerchiefs in the pool of blood, that gleamed red as seen from the place where I stood watching them. '" This in memory of my hatred of the English Government," one man says as he leaves the group, holding up the relic. " Yes, but the Government in Ireland," exclaims another in the crowd. Out of the pool of blood one of a number of children who stand there picks up a bullet. These too will parry away their memories of the day—perhaps into some foreign land where dwells an exiled Irish race that neither forgets nor forgives, or perhaps, and let us hope, into an Ireland happier than the present, and a generation of Irishmen who will find a real union with their English iellow citizens, and in the sympathy of the English people who are.now the masters of the English Governments.

The Dead and Dying. From out the group of hooded women comes a cry of grief. The mourner is the dead man's wife, who, not knowing what happened yesterday, has come from her home four or five miles away in the country in search of her husband. His remains are in tlvs workhouse, where they were deposited last night after sundry ad ventures. At first they were carrying the dead body into an hotel in the square. Then it was suggested that it should be taken to the constabulary barracks from a window of which the bullet came that killed him, and there it was laid in th« mud of the street right in front of the barrack door, and so closely that a police officer emerging into the road Btepped across it. Michael Landrigan leaves eight children, three of them in America—the Irish peasant's land of pro mise—the rest at home. The second victim, who, though pronounced dead on Friday night, still lives, but is I doomed to die, is more fortunate, for' he leaves none dependent upon him. John Shinnick hisjname is, and his fate, though in a cense le9s tragic than his countryman's, is more pathetic. He served in the Indian mutiny, fighting England's battles. He eked out his pension by work ing an a gardener, and he was in the em ployment of an hotelkeeper at Fermoy, a town eight miles from Mitcholstown. When last Thursday his employer was asked to supply carriages for the conveyance of police constables to thia place only one horse, it seems, was available, but there was no driver. John Shinnick was then told to undertake the duty. Shinnick, who was an ardent Nationalist, refused. Poor as he was, he preferred dismissal and poverty to the hateful task of serving officials whom he conscientiously regarded as his country's enemies. Being dismissed on the spot, John Shinnick came on foot to Mitchels town to share in the popular wel come to John Dillon and the Eng lish members. Ho was standing with his back to the wall, nearly oppo site the police barracks, talking with a younp: man named Casey, when a shot struck him on the forehead. He staggered along the wall a distance of two or three yards, then stood, made the sign of the cross, and fell. A pool of blood still marks the spot. Casey also was struck, and fell almost simultaneously with Shinnick Now, the facts of the Casey and Shinnick case will be of great importance in the evi dence which will be given during the in quest this week.
