THE LONDON MERCERS' COMPANY ESTATE.—
Thera has been no reduction of rent made by this
company ; bat, on the contrary, they would not even
condescend to listen to a memorial on the subject.
We understand that "notices to quit" are periodi-
cally served, and for what reason we are at a loss to
know. Is it for non-payment of rent ? No, for so long
as the loan fund stands in Kilrea, the rent must be
exacted, if the poor borrower were to sell the last
stack of oats to meet its weekly instalments. We
say the company should place their tenantry beyond
so humiliating a position, and by a proper reduction
of rents enable them to experience that " property
has its duties as well as its rights."—Derry Standard.
An inquest was held last week by F. O'Donnell,
Esq., at the Temporary Fever Hospital, .Miltown

under the following circumstances :—lt appears that
the deceased,
.wao was a young man, and in very com-
fortable circumstance, was passing by a field of
turnips, and went over the wall to pull one, when a
man named Conway, who was watching them, struck
him with a stone on the head, and so fractured his
skull, that bis brains protruded. He was removed to
the fever hospital, where he died on Friday. The jury
returned a verdict accordingly.—Clare Journal.

publicly recanted his errors on Sunday last. He
made a most humble confession on the occasion,

scandal he had given, and said he was driven to it by
extreme necessity.—Cork Examiner.

ANOTIIER WHOLESALE EVICTION IN CLARE.—The
Kihnurry Ibritlane correspondent of the Limerick
and Clare Examiner, in a letter dated November 22,
says—" At this moment, Mr. Tidd, the under sheriff,
is busily at work in the townland Tromora West, in
the evicting 52 families, and probably more. Of these
families, 46 are pauperised, and as ragged and
wretched as could be found in any corner of this
island. The others had their rents, rates, &c., paid
up ; but, unfortunately to a middleman who fell
heavily into arrears."
