Manchester martyrs. On 18 September 1867 Thomas Kelly and Timothy Deasy, two leading
Fenians, were being transported from the court‐house in Manchester to the county jail when the police van containing them was attacked. The prisoners escaped, but an unarmed police sergeant was shot dead. Twenty‐nine arrests followed, and in November five men were convicted of murder. One was subsequently pardoned and another's sentence was commuted, but three men, William O'Meara Allen, Michael Larkin, and William O'Brien, were hanged. The deaths of these ‘Manchester martyrs’ prompted a partial reconciliation between the
Catholic church and Fenianism, and a groundswell of popular sympathy for the Fenian movement in Ireland.
