Summary

A one-sentence wire item from Dublin, reprinted in the Bismarck Tribune on 9 December 1881, reporting that the police at Castletown — i.e. Castletown Berehaven, in West Cork — had prevented Miss Reynolds of the Ladies' Land League from visiting tenants who were about to be evicted. The wire predates by one week the longer Times of London account of the same incident, and is one of the earliest signals that the Castletown Berehaven eviction story had crossed the Atlantic — printed in a Dakota Territory paper a week after the Dublin events.

Open questions

  • Was this dispatch carried by Reuters, the Associated Press, or another service? The same one-sentence wording almost certainly appeared in other US papers in early December 1881 — a search of contemporary US dailies for the exact phrase "prevented Miss Reynolds, of the Ladies Land League" would map the wire's reach. Useful for the "how the Land League story reached Irish-American readers" thread.
