- During the Black-and Tan war in Ireland a number of fires and conflagarations occurred. When the Irish soldiers attacked the Black-and Tans they burned houses and hay barns as reprisals. In the Townland of Meelin John Browne's house and hay barn were burned by the Black-and Tans. Timothy Murphy's house of Meelin was burned by them also.The fever is a very contagious disease and a number of people in this locality and in the town of Newmarket were ill of it. When taken to the isolation hospital Millstreet they would probably recover.
