Sketches from Ireland: cabin and farmhouse of Crawford, at Killallon, 1870. 'We reached Crawford's cabin across some fields...Standing slightly in front of the cabin, on the same rising ground, is a new stone farmhouse, which Crawford had just completed building for his own occupation. The cabin in which he and his family were living when he was fired at through the kitchen window and so dangerously wounded, a few Sunday evenings since, is hardly better than the general run of peasants' cabins hereabouts, save that it has a couple of rooms in it, and is, moreover, well stocked... The police have arrested a man named Flood, who had been evicted by Crawford's father some time since, on suspicion of being the perpetrator of the outrage; but there is no kind of evidence against him'. From "Illustrated London News", 1870.
