FREEMAN'S JOURNAL Ennis 22nd April 1841 Dear Ray--I have just arrived here, and have enclosed 18/., the subscriptions of some of the honest men of Kilrush, they have taken up the question warmly, and are determined to support the association in their efforts to obtain for Ireland the benefits of domestic legislation, and they hail with delight the movement in favour of a landlord and tenant bill. The people here are the victims of the most ruthless tyranny, and the oppression of their hearthless landlords has become unendurable. The time has come when this system of extermination must be arrested by some legislative enactment. I also send you the names and adresses of several wardens from different districts.
