RESPECTFULLY DECLINING HIS
SERVICES!

Mr. G. F. Train's lecturing tour is not likely to
prove so profitable a speculation as he was sanguine
enough to expect. In Waterford, Clonmel, and
Limerick he has been refused the use of the public
rooms to hold his performance in. He was announced
to address an audience in Sligo on Friday night, in
last week, but there, too, he was refused, and obliged
to postpone his "lecture." He intends to renew his
attempt upon Dublin, and, discarding the support of
the classes who take reserved seats, he hopes, or at
least the manager hopes, to induce a large assembly to
attend by reducing the price of admission to a low
figure.
Mr. Train's visit to Sligo was partly to assist
"Colonel" Nagle, and this he proposed to do effect-
ually, as appears from the characteristic corres-
pondence which is subjoined :

BE "CROWN V. NAGLE."

Imperial Hotel, Sligo, Feb. 28.
Dear Sir,—As six aliens are allowed on the case of the
"Crown v. Nagle," will you permit me to observe that I am
an American citiien, and at present in this country, and am
therefore eligible for the said office? Please inform me if
my services are wanted as a jurynian.—Sincerely,
GEURGE FRANCIS TRAIN.
To the High Sheriff of the county of sligo, Sligo.
Sligo Courthonse, Feb 28.
Dear Sir,—ln reply to your note of this day'. date, I beg
to obeerve that I decline putting you on the jury of aliens to
try Mr. Nagle, and win state any reasons If required in open
court by the Judge —I have the honour to remains your
obedient humble servant,
P. C. HOWLEY, High Sheriff.
George Francis Train, Esq., now at Sligo.
Sligo, Feb. 28.

Dear Sir,— I am surprised to find your note declining to
put my name on the panel.
As l understand the laws of Great Britain, the Sheriff's
duty is to return a certain number of names of eligible Jury-
men, anti it is for the Court and Crown to decide as to their
qualifications. May I ask for an explanation of this 111011 t
unusual action l—Sincerely,

GEORGE FRANcis TAMS.
To the nigh Sheriff, county of Sligo.
Sligo Court-house, Feb. 28.

Dear Sir,—l most respectfully decline entering into any
correspondence relative to my refusal to put your name On
the panel of aliens.—l have the honour to remain yours very
truly, PATRICK C. HOWLEY.
High Sheriff, county of Sligo.
To George Francis Train, Esq.

Feb. 28, 4 p. m.

Dear Sir,--.Surprised as was at your first decision, lam
by no means surprised at the last. The accident of my
being an American citizen seems tube sufficient to exclude
me from the panel of an English sherlff.—Sincerely,
GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN.
To P. C. Howley, Esq., High Sheriff, county of Sligo.
The High Sheriff has much to answer for in reject-
ing the services of so competent a juror.
