The hidden hand, 1883. This cartoon shows an Irish anarchist, armed with knife and pistol, surreptitiously accepting a bag of gold.

A number of men had been arrested and one of them, James Farrell, became an informer. He gave details of a number of planned outrages, amongst them the intended murder of the previous Chief Secretary, William Forster. From Punch, or the London Charivari, March 3, 1883.
