Kells creamery
raided.
In the early hours of Sunday
morning the creamery at Kells was broken into and much damage caused to
the belting, machinery etc.
The safe, which could not be
opened, was removed. It is stated that a considerable sum of money
deposited in the creamery by a young man named Barry was missing.
On the following day Mr. Barry
cycled to Woodstock, Inistioge, to lodge a complaint against the "Black
and Tans" stationed there with reference to the disappearance of his
money. A drumhead courtmartial was held on him for making such a serious
charge against the forces of the Crown, as a result of same he was given
a few minutes to clear out, and warned not to show up there again.

The "Black and
Tans" get busy.
Every morning during the week
Kilkenny has been visited by a party of "Black and Tans" whose mission
appears to be the commandeering of food supplies, etc. Some of them are
to be seen sauntering about the streets with rifles while the rest of
the party are loading the motor vehicle with foodstuffs from various
shops. It has been stated that wherever they have been refused liquor -
in consequence of the boycott on the R.I.C., which is still in force -
they supply themselves.

with this directive or face the consequences. " Any person having
dealings with members of the Royal Irish Constabulary or their families,
speaking or reporting to them or selling them goods shall be dealt with
immediately".
