    (continued from previous page)
    over thirty families were evicted. Dan Kelly’s stables were then turned into houses for some of the Tenants and others took refuge in little wooden huts put up in Morrisey’s fields. They were again evicted out of these in twelve months time. Father Kinsella and about thirty three other men were arrested for the building of these huts. They were kept in jail for a week in Newbridge, and were then let out. After the evictions Clongorey was like a deserted village for nearly all the young people went to America. When the settlement was made, there were very few to come back.
