The Irish Land League: Mr
The Irish Land League: Mr. Boyton burning the Duke of Leinster's leases on a "'98 pike" in the market-place of Kildare, 1881. A placard had been issued by the local branch of the Land League of Kildare, calling a meeting to be held that evening, for the purpose of publicly burning several of the Duke of Leinster's leases. It was proposed to have a torchlight procession through the town and an illumination of the town...a proclamation was issued by the local authorities forbidding the procession...But an open-air meeting was held, which was addressed by Mr. Boyton, one of the fourteen defendants, or "traversers, " who were to be tried next day in the Court of Queen's Bench at Dublin. Mr. Boyton had armed himself with an old pike, one of those wielded by the Irish rebels in the deplorable insurrection of 1793. He used this rusty weapon of treason as a kind of spit or toasting-fork, upon which he stuck a copy of the printed forms that are adopted for leases granted on the Duke of Leinster's estates, and solemnly cast it into a small bonfire kindled in the market-place. This was guarded by a number of Land League men, with torches or links, but there was no attempt to stop the proceedings, though a constabulary force was present'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © The Print Collector/Heritage Images
