Brickwall, I trust you're not advocating throwing stones at children in orphanages or anywhere else?

Tut! The mothers of some may have had stones thrown at them.
It was said about that other great 19th century Irish leader, Daniel O'Connell that you couldn't throw a stone over a workhouse wall in Ireland without hitting one of his children. He repented later in life. He killed a man in a duel.
