On Apr 2, 1878, the despised Wm. Sydney Clements, the Third Earl of Leitrim, was murdered.  Michael McElwee, Neil Shields and Michael Heraghty were convicted of the crime.  There is a poem, titled “The Banks of Mulroy Bay” about the murder, and it can be found in the book “The Fanad Martyrs,” which is in the National Library of Dublin.
