FISHMAN AOR--The Enniskillen Chronick of yesterday
says:
"We this morning received a oorsmunication formic; us that
yesterday six peewits from the moithuiny district of hobo hat
waited on the Rev. Roes Mltahan, tr Mona chapel, stating that
they had been deputed by some hundreds of destitute poor from
Delmore M Amain to Knoelemore, to come forward and declare that
endurance could extend no further; and that, unless the most imme-
diate relief were administered, they would be obliged, most unwil-
laigly, to promvil to take food u time they could find it. Mr. M'Mahon
remonstrated against such a step, and requested the deputation to ac-
company him to Mr. J. I). Brier, J.P., which they did, and were in-
formed by Mr. Brion that every possible effort was being made to
suppty the means of employinent; end that at the extraordinary
presentment sessions to be hold on the nth .see proclamation), ex-
tensive public works would be pained. To this they :eked what they
were to Ito in the meantime, as the hundreds whk h. they represented
had not the power of existing two der more. They, however, de-
poled with expressions of thankkiness for what had been proposed,
and promised that nothing but the most ektrems necessity shout.]
force them to the alternative of a forsible supply. We may further
here notice that, at the inciting of the committee for the barony
cf Magherriboy, held in Dcrrygonelly on this day week, there
was °mist-livable excitement; and at the close of the
_argc numbers collected round the Rev. Loftus Recedeproceedings,i
Thomas Nixon, , magistrates, representing their destitution and
their inaluiity to exist longer without relief. A sithscription was
instantly set on font and 30/. laid do, n for as immediate temporary
supply of meal."
The same paper bears testimeny to the efforts of Mr. Grey
Porter (so well known for his comic:ion with "Federalism")
to alleviate the dist:-ess:
" We understand," it says, " th..: J. G. V. P .ter, Esq., greatly to
his credit, taking into account the very high twice of bread at this
pressing season and the cheapness that should exist in consequence
of the change in the corn laws, has with praiseworthy t fee: suc-
ceeded in establishing in fish haw • ' shareholders bakery' far
