Sketches from Ireland: kitchen where Crawford was fired at, 1870. 'The cabin in which he and his family were living when he was fired at through the kitchen window and so dangerously wounded, a few Sunday evenings since, is hardly better than the general run of peasants' cabins hereabouts, save that it has a couple of rooms in it, and is, moreover, well stocked. The kitchen, or rather living-room, shown in the sketch is both small and dark, being lighted by a single little window some 10 in. by 8 in. It was through this window that the charge was fired at Crawford, who had just seated himself
Sketches from Ireland: kitchen where Crawford was fired at, 1870. 'The cabin in which he and his family were living when he was fired at through the kitchen window and so dangerously wounded, a few Sunday evenings since, is hardly better than the general run of peasants' cabins hereabouts, save that it has a couple of rooms in it, and is, moreover, well stocked. The kitchen, or rather living-room, shown in the sketch is both small and dark, being lighted by a single little window some 10 in. by 8 in. It was through this window that the charge was fired at Crawford, who had just seated himself in the settle at the chimney-corner, after attending to his cattle for the night. Five of the slugs struck him, three in the face and two in the shoulder; others passed over the head of his wife, who was stooping to pick up a newspaper she had let fall, piercing the serving-boy's coat and striking the cradle in which the baby was sleeping. The police have arrested a man named Flood, who had been evicted by Crawford's father some time since, on suspicion of being the perpetrator of the outrage; but there is no kind of evidence against him'. From "Illustrated London News", 1870.
