Sketches from Ireland: Balrath, County Meath, the seat of Mr. Nicholson, 1870. View of Balrath House, near Kells, the residence of Mr. Nicholson,...[who was fired at], last November, while driving in his own carriage along the public road. Mr. Nicholson escaped unhurt, but his coachman was killed. The murderer lurked in the field, having cut a notch in the top of the wall, in which to rest the end of the gun, as he crouched below, keeping himself out of sight. There are cottages within one or two hundred yards of the spot. The people dwelling there pretended that they had seen nobody, and that they heard no shots fired; although the assassins fired twice, and Mr. Nicholson's guard fired once. The case of this gentleman was mentioned in our last notice of the subject'. From "Illustrated London News", 1870.
