One hundred years ago
IT is stated that Norah Fitzmaurice, who gave such courageous evidence as to the murderers of her father, and so procured their conviction and condem- nation to death at the last Wicklow Assizes, is, with her mother and sisters, in great danger from the villains who boycotted her father, and so caused his assassination; and Lord Hartington has declared his belief that 'it is most desirable, and indeed necessary, to take steps for placing Norah Fitzmaurice in an independent position, and protecting her from the hostility of the National League'. Subscriptions for the benefit of the family will be received by the Venerable Archdeacon Orpen, the Rectory, Tralee, Sir Rowland Blen- nerhasset, Bart., Brooks's Club, and various other gentlemen. It is a purpose in which all persons who care to put down the basest and most mischievous of tyrannies will be deeply interested.
The Spectator, 14 April 1888
