Notes: On 5 May 1907, a demonstration was organised against
Samuel Russell in an attempt to intimidate him into selling his grazing
lands. From Hansard,
15 May 1907 (HC Deb 15 May 1907 vol 174 c969) Kilmore Demonstration. SIR
BERKELEY SHEFFIELD (Lincolnshire, Brigg) I beg to
ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is
aware that on Sunday, the 5th instant, a crowd of between 2,000 and
3,000 persons assembled at Kilmore, county Roscommon, near the house of
Mr. Samuel Russell, a landlord and owner of several large grazing
farms, for the purpose of demonstrating against him and bringing
pressure to bear on him to force him to sell his grazing lands; that
Mr. Russell was assaulted and stoned when returning from church; and
that a force of 300 police had to be requisitioned to keep the peace;
and what steps the Government are taking to prevent a repetition of any
such demonstrations.
MR. BIRRELL In
this
case proceedings have been instituted against eight persons in
connection with the occurrence of the 5th instant, and while those
proceedings are pending I must decline to enter into the details of the
case. I think it only right, however, to say that according to the
police reports which I have received, 200 and not 2,000 persons were
present at the meeting referred to; the police force numbered 30, not
300; and Mr. Russell was not assaulted or stoned.
