ATTACK ON POLICE IN THE COUNTY GALWAY
Information reached Galway on Saturday that a night patrol of police had been attacked at a place named Currendulla, in the parish of Annadown, by a large body of men, armed with sticks, stones, &c. The police were severely beaten, and had to take refuge in the house of a woman named Commins. The cause alleged for the outrage is that the police are at present engaged collecting a police tax levied on the parish for the cost of two iron huts, and that the people are unable to pay. No arrests have been made.
Irish Examiner, 22 March 1880.
