Drogheda Independent 26 March 1904

On Wednesday last a man named Michael Martin, popularly known as the "Iron Man," applied to the Guardians at Balrothery Union for the admission of his wife and two children. He himself refused to go into the house......

He went away, came back drunk and assaulted various officials who tried to throw him out. He got two months hard labour for this.
