1822 WHITEBOYS:
In the district around Macroom, a series of encounters between some of the local people (who were refered to at the time as the Whiteboys) and the ruling class in early 1822 led to the murder (including that by hanging) of a number of people.
On 24 January, 1822 at Carriganima, 7 miles north of Macroom, a party of men stopped the mail coach and wounded the coachman. Armed forces later arrested 21 men (and killed 2 in the process). At trial, 10 men were judged to be guilty of the offence of stopping the coach, and on 28 February, 1822, Daniel Murphy, Patrick Lehane, Thomas Goggin, and Cornelius Lucey were hanged for the offence.
