The middle coal-field, all geologically in union, including those of Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Flint, and Denbigh. The southern coal-field, including South Wales, Forest of Dean, Bristol, Dover, with an offshoot at Leinster, &c., and Millstreet, Cork.
There was now a possibility of carrying corn to market if grown, or of bringing it into the parish; and Mr C built a mill for grinding it. He also built an inn, and induced a coach-proprietor to run his coach from Cork to Killarney through Ballyvourney, it being a better line in distance, level, picturesque, and beautiful far surpassing in every respect the old road by Millstreet.
The next night a small Protestant farmer near Tralee found his best cow tortured and killed because he had sold milk to the police. On the same night a farmer's house was sacked because he had bought some 'boycotted' hay. Still on the same night, at Millstreet, another Land League gang attacked a house, one of the Land League police being killed, and one of the Crown police wounded.
On the Millstreet farm, however, root-crops are largely used for feeding, and the beasts are kept more under cover than is common here. All this means, of course, large outlay, and the farmer has expended not less than six thousand pounds in building, and in draining and liming four hundred acres of the eight hundred he occupies.
Perhaps, however, the spot of all others in which the sharpest contrast occurs between the old life of Ireland and that brought about by "improving" landlords and tenants is the hamlet of Millstreet, situate on the line of railway between this place and Mallow, once a kind of Irish Tunbridge Wells, and famous for the "Rakes of Mallow," whose virtues are immortalised in verse.
