84 In 1880, at a time of about 14,000 evictions in the west of Ireland, the Irish National Land League collected about £245,000 in the United States for Irish relief aid. At the same time, a Dublin Mansion House Relief Fund collected £180,000 within the United Kingdom and the British colonies. As the former fund emanated from outside British jurisdiction, however, the Land League was declared illegal and prior recipients of its funds were imprisoned on charges of sedition. C.C.
