The London Illustrated News published a drawing from an eviction on the island of Inis Bo Finne, 7 miles off the Galway Coast. It shows a large number of women defending a family from being evicted from their home for failure to pay rent.
“The extreme wretchedness of the peasantry dwelling on the rocky islets in the Atlantic Ocean off the shores of Galway and Mayo has frequently been described ; and we have, on former occasions, given many Illustrations, from Sketches by our own Artists, and quoted largely from the reports of Mr. James Tuke and those of the Inspector of Irish Fisheries, relating minute particulars of a degree of misery which is probably not endured by any other population in Europe.
It is the result of natural causes; of the utter barrenness of those islands, which have scarcely any soil to be cultivated even for oats or potatoes: of the stormy and wet climate, and the fierce winds and rains that sometimes destroy not only the scanty crops, but even the thin layers of gravel and sand, with the seaweed manure, in which they are produced with so much toil and difficulty; and of the often interrupted and perilous communication with the mainland, on which the roads are long and bad to the nearest market towns.
The business of collecting the county “cess,” as the county rate is called in that part of Ireland, becomes almost desperate in face of a starving people; and our Sketches of the scenes at Innisboffin, which was recently visited for this purpose by the collector of the County Mayo, present an example of such an eviction”
