In this scene, Father Kelleher stands at the forefront, fearlessly charging forward with determination. His presence alone commands attention from both sides of the conflict.

Kelleher endeavors to serve summonses to those involved in boycotting and protecting bankrupt tenants on Ponsonby Estate. This act of defiance against oppressive landlords was part of the "Plan of Campaign" which aimed to secure fairer rents for struggling farmers. The artist skillfully captures not only the charged emotions but also provides intricate details such as provisions being distributed among those affected by eviction threats. The illustration serves as a visual testament to Father Kelleher's bravery and his unwavering commitment to fighting for justice amidst adversity. This historical print offers viewers an insight into one of Ireland's most significant social movements and reminds us of how individuals like Father Kelleher played instrumental roles in shaping their communities' destinies during challenging times.
