" Kildare, Par. Kilcock A. 399. Mr Hughes states" If they were to break all the windows in Kilcock, not a soul would send them to gaol, well know- ing their real wants and distress. " And he farther adds, " there is no act to which a destitute starving people may not be driven, naturally thinking that any change must be for the better. The poor here do not steal anything. " Mr Hughes says, "they would rather go beg it from the farmers than steal. Though they are not guilty of any outrages on pe...rson, but for the most part depend upon the neighbours, yet during the month of July 1830, a time of great distress, thetanal boats were stopped and robbed of provisions. " Carberry. A. 397. They steal potatoes when in great distress ; and in the neighbouring parishes outrages have been committed by plundering boats and provision carts. Society suffers much more from such outrages and constant pilfering than it would by a tax. Par. Nans. A. 400.
