The Manchester Martyrs
The Manchester Martyrs were
William Allen, Michael Larkin and Michael OBrien, all born in Ireland but
living in Manchester and active Fenians. In 1867, after a most dubious trial,
they were executed for their part in a successful ambush to free two
Irish-American Fenian leaders Thomas Kelly and Timothy Deasy leaders from a
prison van in which a policeman was shot dead. The Fenian leaders were not only
freed but also spirited out of the country to New York, despite a £300 reward
for their capture, about six times the average annual salary. Among those who
helped Kelly escape were a Dr Kelly of Oxford Road and a Fr Tracy, evidence
that Fenian sympathies were not just the preserve of the low Irish as the
English press depicted the working-class Irish. Thomas Kelly on the run in the
Cheetham Hill area, where he escaped from the police by changing clothes with a
Father Tracey, before being taken to Liverpool by a Fenian who drove for a wine
and spirit merchant. Concealed among the cases of wine he was delivered into
friendly hands who assisted him to board a ship

Letters and Leaders
of my Day T. M. Healy, K. C.
Father Tracy's brother, Mat, a reporter on the Cork
Examiner, was a "character." He was dispatched during the Fenian
Rising of 1867 in Kerry by its owner, J. F. Maguire (M.P for Dungarvan), to
report events. Mat, equipped with a musket plus a lead-pencil, set forth
and was speedily arrested. Telegraphic communication between England and
Ireland was then in its infancy, and the Government had no details of Mat's
activities. Maguire, in his reporter's bona fides, demanded in the House
of Commons satisfaction for his arrest from Lord Naas, the Chief Secretary of
the day. That nobleman (afterwards Lord Mayo, the murdered Indian Viceroy)
effused in apology, and agreed that the arrest was an infringement of the
"liberty of the Press." Maguire urged that compensation should be
paid. Lord Naas concurred. Whether £100 or £500 was given, it was too much for
Mat. Friends gathered round him night after night, to enjoy his compensation
and hospitality. At the end of his jovial evenings he would raise his glass in
pathetic self-pity, crying, "Ah, boys! The British Government has been the
ruin of me!"
...Father [John] Tracy of Heaton Norris, Stockport, who seems himself to
have been a nationalist sympathiser, had a brother Mat, a reporter of the Cork
Examiner, who was arrested for carrying a musket during the Fenian rising of
1867, but was able to extract compensation from the British government for
wrongful arrest. 'Friends gathered round him night after night, to enjoy his
compensation and hospitality. At the end of his...evenings he would raise his
glass in pathetic self-pity crying "Ah boys! the British government has
been the ruin of me" (T. M. Healy, Letters and Leaders of my day, London

Certainly, a decade later,
similar complaints were being relayed to All Hallows. From the Salford diocese,
Bishop William Turner wrote that he was unable to accept one student priest,
even on a short-term basis, 'for six months or any period'. In refusing him, he
said, 'I am sorry that Mr Tracey is
so ultra-Irish but I hope that the advice and caution you will deem it
necessary to give him would have its due effect'. [AHC Salford. Bishop William

A Pilgrimage to Bodenstown. (By Michael Cavanagh)...November 9th 1861... As our little party of Irish-Americans were preparing to start from the Shelboume Hotel, on this loving mission, it was unexpectedly reinforced by another exiled pilgrim- Mr. Kelly, a native of Waterford, but for many years a resident of Manchester. Having signified his intention of forming a delegation of one from his expatriated countrymen in Manchester, he had been furnished with a letter of introduction to me by a dearly beloved townsrnan of mine, the Rev. John Tracey, who felt confident that it would ensure the bearer a cordial reception. It not only fulfilled its object so far, but caused were old acquaintances, linked together by the mutual friendship we entertained for the patriot priest. When I left my old home, twelve years before, John Tracy was one of a band of Cappoquin boys, studying at the celebrated school of Melleray, several of whom have since become distinguished ornaments of the Irish missionary church celebrated alike for their efiiciency and zeal in propagating the faith in foreign lands, and for their loving devotion to their own dear isle My dear friend, Father ]ohn Tracy, with a happier fate than any, died whilst on a visit to the home of his boyhood, and is blessed with a grave in front of the altar where he served Mass years before, and where the prayers of his people are surer to be perpetually offered up for his pure spirits eternal repose

Tracy, at Heaton Norris, to present him with an address of affection expressing their regret at the separation, and wishing him happiness and success in the new mission to which he has been recently appointed by the Bishop. Accompanying the address was a purse of gold.

February 1867 Fenian Movement
in Kerry
...Mr. Matthew Tracy, the reporter of the Cork Herald, tried to
telegraph that there was disaffection among the troops. The RM stopped the
telegraph and arrested Tracy...
Question.HC Deb 01 March 1867 vol 185 cc1233-4
LORD NAAS Sir, on the 20th of February a telegram was taken to the
telegraph clerk at Killarney to this effect Rumoured disaffection of troops.
Officers heard men singing songs with civilians. Removed by police. Military
sent to quarters. Fourteen soldiers missing this morning. A wire cut last night
at Cluanmullane. I need hardly assure the House that with the exception of the
lastthe cutting of the telegraph wirethe whole was entirely false. On this
message being taken to the magistrates by the person charged with the conduct
of the telegraph at Killarney, the magistrates thought it their duty to order
the arrest of the person who was proved to have sent the telegram. It turned
out that the gentleman's name was Tracey, and that he was a reporter of the Cork
Herald. The magistrates considered that this person, in sending this message,
had been guilty of a very serious offence against the law of the land; and they
committed him to take his trial at the ensuing assizes. Bail, however, was
offered on his part and accepted. As the trial is pending, and as this
gentleman has given notice of his intention to take action at law against the
magistrates for false imprisonment, I am sure the House will feel that I should
exceed my duty if I expressed any opinion on the transaction.

Father Tracy's brother, Mat, a reporter on the Cork
Examiner, was a "character." He was dispatched during the Fenian
Rising of 1867 in Kerry by its owner, J. F. Maguire (M.P for Dungarvan), to
report events. Mat, equipped with a musket plus a lead-pencil, set forth
and was speedily arrested. Telegraphic communication between England and
Ireland was then in its infancy, and the Government had no details of Mat's
activities. Maguire, in his reporter's bona fides, demanded in the House
of Commons satisfaction for his arrest from Lord Naas, the Chief Secretary of
the day. That nobleman (afterwards Lord Mayo, the murdered Indian Viceroy)
effused in apology, and agreed that the arrest was an infringement of the
"liberty of the Press." Maguire urged that compensation should be paid.
Lord Naas concurred. Whether £100 or £500 was given, it was too much for Mat.
Friends gathered round him night after night, to enjoy his compensation and
hospitality. At the end of his jovial evenings he would raise his glass in
pathetic self-pity, crying, "Ah, boys! The British Government has been the
ruin of me!"

a man down to Kerry to 'do the rising'. The man whose name was Matt Tracey,
went down armed with a lead pencil and a rifle, and was at once taken into custody

Office and High Mass were held on Monday in the Cathedral. The celebrant was Rev. John Codd C.C. Cathedral: chanters, Rev. Patrick Cummins, C.C., and Rev. John Bultler, C.C., Cathedral.

Ireland's cause, Michael Tracy was received by his brother members with
feelings of sorrow. Another of Ireland's soldiers gone. Another true friend

England's dungeons; God called some, and they rest In quiet graves mourned by

the deceased was held by his brother members, the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted: Resolved,
That we deeply and sincerely mourn the death of our brother member, Michael
Tracy whom the Almighty has been pleased to call suddenly irom amongst us and
his loving family. He was a true Fenian, a good husband and father. Resolved,
That while we bow humbly to the will of Heaven we tender to his bereaved wife
and children our heartfelt sympathy, and pray to Him, who doeth al1 things
well, to grant them strength to bear their affliction with Christian
meekness. Resolved,
That Michael Tracys name remain on the records of the Wolfe Tone Circle F.
B., as a token of respect to our departed brother. Resolved,
that a copy of these resolutions be published in The Pilot, Irish People, and

a Fenian organizer for Dunmore and denied it vigorously. This would have been

During the year of the
rising out Paddy Treacy a brother of Mrs Riordan's of Roskeen was shot. This
man was in one of the overhead rooms of his sisters house which is now occupied
by Richard Ryan. The stain of the blood is to be seen on the wall of the room
and if the room was papered the stain would come out through the paper.
A priest said that the
person that shot Treacy would loose his hand. Butler of Anfield lost his hand
some time later and people said it was he who shot Treacy . Roskeen barrack was
burned that same night and we are told that it was Butler and some others
burned it.
A man by the name of Treacy
was shot during Fenians in one of the upper rooms of a house owned by
Mr.Riordan. Treacy was a brother of Mrs. Riordan. The Fenians asked Mr. Riordan
for the gun. Mr Riordan was a peeler one time. Treacy put out his head in one
of the upper windows and told the fenians to get away. He was shot on that
moment. It is not known what made Treacy talk to Fenian as he was a member of
them

engaged for use last night. There were rumors that large numbers of men were
ready to ship from Boston, Manchester. Concord, and Other points awaiting
transportation. The city of Buffalo is full of Fenians, and there is every
indication that something is going to be did sure. Richard
Tracy, of this village, has opened a recruiting office in his bakery, and the

sub-Centres (Captains) ; each "B" had nine "Cs" (Sergeants)
if his quota was full, and every "C" had nine "Ds", who
were privates. This regulation was never strictly adhered to and some Circles,
like that of John Hickey of "Kingstown", and William F. Roantree's in
the Leixlip District of Kildare, had fully 2,000 members. A little Tipperary

Tracey. We are
sorry we have to record this week the death of Mr. Stephen Tracey, at his residence,
6, Werburg-street, Dublin. Deceased was an ardent lover of his country,
firmly believed in its regeneration, and zealously laboured in teaching the
people to unite and act, if they ever meant earnestly to possess any right,
but the right to starve in this country. Naturally delicate, Death visited
him in the midst of his labours. We revere his memory, and wish his spirit
eternal rest. With equal capacity few men could have done more than he did
for the good cause. His gentle disposition endeared him to his companions. If
the four or five hundred friends who walked with his remains to Glasnevin on
last Wednesday, will bear in mind his zealous labour when living, and strive
to follow the example he has left behind him; though gone from amongst them,
he will live in his work, and his spirit will, if possible, be in their
midst. Glasnevin
