The conflict at Ballinhassig - sketched by Mr. Mahony, Cork, 1845. Creator: Smyth

The conflict at Ballinhassig - sketched by Mr. Mahony, Cork, 1845. On 30 June 1845, 11 people (10 men and 1 woman) were reportedly killed by the Royal Irish Constabulary during a riot in the village. Seeing the riot, he [Dr. Tresilian] ran forward to try to calm the mob, and while in front of the Dispensary the firing commenced. He thought it was blank firing; until he saw a woman fall alongside him. He then attempted to escape inf the public-house, but the door was closed against him, and, before he had an opportunity of turning from it, a ball whizzed by his ear. He the quickened his pace, and, while forcing his way through the crowd, another person dropped near him. From " Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII
