The State of Ireland: "boycotting" a tradesman, County Mayo, 1881. 'Lady Lisgar, of the county of Cavan, has been "Boycotted." She was refused a car to convey her to Lord Headfort's house, where she was going to spend Christmas. The Daily News Special Commissioner in Ireland gives a series of Boycotting incidents. Mr. Nicholas Butler, J.P., who was one of the first landlords in the country to accept Griffith's valuation, has been Boycotted by the Crushen, County Clare, branch of the Land League, his offence being that, in consequence of the diminution of his income, he had discharged some of his domestic servants. We give an Illustration showing the Boycotting of a tradesman in County Mayo. Subscriptions to the Boycott Relief Fund amount now to nearly £1400'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
