  1. “Act as if every village in Ireland was a fortress to be held.”
    Announcing a meeting in land league days to protest against an erection in Balla Co. Mayo.
    To the People of Mayo.
    Fellow Countrymen,
    The hour of trial has come. Your leaders are rested. You know your duty. What will you do! Will you […]? Yes! You will! Balla is the place of the meeting & Saturday is the day. Come in your thousands & show the government and the world that […] rights you will maintain. To the rescue is the mightiness of your numbers. God save the people.
    Balla, Balla. Set next […].
    The […] did not take place.
