A genuine No Rent campaign is virtually impossible to organize, and many tenants are more interested in ‘putting the Land Act to the test’.

It further seems that the Coercion Act, instead of banishing agrarian crime, has only intensified it.

Although the League discourages violence, agrarian crimes increase widely.

For the ten months before the Land Act was passed (March–December 1880), the number of "outrages" were 2,379, but in the corresponding period of 1881 with the Act in full operation the numbers were 3,821.

The figures to March 1882, with Parnell in jail, show a continued increase.

It is time for both sides to calm the situation.

In April 1882, Parnell had moved to make a deal with the government, seeing militancy will never win Home Rule.

The settlement, known as the Kilmainham Treaty, involves withdrawing the manifesto and undertaking to move against agrarian crime.

By May 2. all internees had been released from jail, Davitt on the 6th of May, the day of the Phoenix Park murders.

With the Land League still suppressed, Parnell resurrects it with much ceremony together with Davitt on October 17, proclaimed as a new organization called the Irish National League.
