ON THIS DAY: 2ND APRIL 1878: Lord Leitrim murdered on the way to Milford
When William Sydney Clements, the 3rd Earl of Leitrim inherited a vast estate from his father in 1854 he became a controlling landlord and bullying tyrant. The estate was massive and included lands in Leitrim, Donegal, Kildare and Galway.
Lord Leitrim was obsessed with improving land productivity. He evicted families or sometimes paid them to emigrate. If they refused to leave, he would then raise the rent giving them no option but to leave. He monitored and controlled everything; his tenants had no rights and he would destroy homes or crops that were sown or built without his permission. He would move farmers livestock to different grounds; he created havoc, chaos and resentment. He regularly evicted families, young and old to the side of the road, with the heartless violence of a crow-bar brigade; this phrase so well remembered in ballads and songs of the time and afterwards. He seemed to possess no ordinary kindness; a blacksmith w
