houses densely weeded with poor people. They coosistd

Ifas lived in some of the rooms. The walls wen rotten
and in a filthy state. The Boors ware also to the same state,
and the privies ware overflowing and completely stopped up,
✓ending the filth. over the yards and into the houses. Wit-
ness reported the state of the houses to the vestry, and by

yard was elan in a filthy state. The bosses, in fact, were in
such a dilapidated state that the best way would be to pall
them down.

with three homes. They were inhabited by low Irish, and
they refused to go oat to viable him to do the necessary re-
pairs, whisk he had bog ego wished to carry out. He was

Thursday, forty•two families being ejected from the
former and tweety.five from the latter village. The
work wee, happily, entecoompanied by the violent de-

the previous day, many of the doomed miners removing
their own furniture, and thou averting from the "candy
