| Résumé : | On Saturday 12 February 1881 two horses belonging to Andrew Kettle, executive member of the Land League, were auctioned at a sheriff's sale at his residence, Kilmore Cottage, Artane, County Dublin. Lord Talbot de Malahide, Kettle's landlord, obtained a decree to have Kettle's goods seized and sold to obtain £40 in rent Kettle had refused to pay. Norris Goddard, solicitor of the Property Defense Association, a landlord defence organisation, opened the bidding on the first horse at £5 but was soon outbid by Kettle's brother at £20. A second draught horse was then auctioned to Kettle's brother for £30, thus raising enough to cover the debt and costs. The assembled crowd gave three cheers for the Land League, C.S. Parnell, Andrew Kettle and Michael Davitt. Kettle had delayed his landlord getting the rent, but in the end he paid his rent plus several extra pounds in costs |
