Scope and content
A ticket for the Unionist Demonstration, New Leinster Hall, Dublin, Tuesday, 29 November, 1887, in a folding frame with a forged version of the ticket.
The meeting was addressed by the Marquess of Hartington, later 8th Duke of Devonshire' whose younger brother Lord Frederick Cavendish had been murdered in the Phoenix Park in 1886.
The Irish Times Wednesday, November 30, 1887 reports that 'At the outset of the proceedings it became apparent that a small minority was present who had conceived the purpose of breaking up the proceedings. Forged tickets were printed and were freely offered for sale at the last moment. But the deception was clumsy. A few gained admission to the Hall and during the evening strove to create a disturbance.'
