| EVICTION SCENE, VANDELEUR ESTATE, COUNTY CLARE. -Among the most notorious of harsh, evicting Irish landlors, the names of Lord Lucan (Bingham), William Scully and John George Adair, stand out in bold, unpleasant relief, and to these may be added that of Colonel Vandeleur, of the County Clare, who has developed exterminating "talents" of a most formidable kind. The accompanying sketch exhibits an eviction scene on the Vandeleur estate, near Kilrush, where the land agent, the sheriff and the officers of the Hussars and Royal Irish Constabulary-alias "the Peelers"-are holding a council of war previous to moving against the wretched cabin of the tenant to be evicted vi et armis. |
