Description

Provenance: Bt Simmons June 2014.
W.J. Walpole, Castlenode, Strokestown, co Roscommon. The Hereford Herd Book Society was incorporated in March 1878, and renamed The Hereford Cattle Society in January 1996.
The Irish Independent, 26 January 1920, reported that an incident occurred earlier that month at Cloneen, near Strokestown, which rekindled memories of the Ranch War. James Hanley, with others, were charged with an attempt to drive cattle off the Walpole estate at Strokestown. Accompanied by police officers and his son, the owner of the estate was ambushed when checking on his cattle by a number of men who entered from the road. In an effort to disperse the group Walpole and his son fired a number of shots in the air. Constable Cahill and George Walpole pursued some of the men and managed to capture Hanley. Having searched him, he was found to have in his possession three notices calling on Walpole to give up his land. In court, Hanley’s barrister claimed that it was unfortunate that Walpole had fired on the men assembled and that they were only merely exercising a right to walk through his lands. Roscommon, he claimed, was a county free of crime and the firing of weapons would not help to calm matters. However, it was widely known that there had been trouble at the Walpole estate over several generations dating back to the Land War of the early 1880s. The following week Walpole brought a case before the Strokestown Petty Sessions for damage done to gates and fences. The cattle drives would occur again in April and May of 1920, when during the latter it took Walpole more than ten days to recover animals which had been driven from his lands
