DUBLIN, FRIDAY.

THE PARTRY EVICTIONS.

The Morning News publishes a doleful despatch
from its correspondent at Partry, giving an ac-
count of the process of eviction put into operation
in that enlightened district by the Bishop of Tuam.
The correspondent writes :

" Partry, Nov. 21.
While I write the sound of Bishop's Plunket's
crowbar rings in my ears. Three houses have
already fallen, and the house of John Boyle is this
moment coming down with a crash. There are as
many military- police, and crowbar brigade en-
gaged in the work, or superintending its execu-
tion, as defended Spoleto for 12 hours against
the thousands of Piedmontese. It would wring the
heart of the veriest pagan, the sight presented at
this moment—just ten minutes a beautiful house,
now a mass of ruins. One man made an attempt
at resistance, but, of course, in vain. He and his
wife were dragged like beasts out of their neat and
comfortable house, the abode of their fathers for
several generations. The representatives of the
Christian bishop seem to take a kind of fiendish
pleasure in the agonising business; you may see
them going about as merrily as if at a wedding
feast. But there is a Providence above, and this
day's dismal work must sooner or later have its
just sentence. The crime of the man whose house
is now levelled, John Boyle, is, that he lent Father
Lavelle his cart, and that his cattle once trespassed
wilfully ! The bailiff admits that the latter charge
is false.

" I write on my knee, seated on a knoll, overlook-
ing the ruins of the house.
" P.S. There are yet a half-score houses to be
Levelled. Sheriff and sub-sheriff are both here.
" P.S. 2.—This day's work over; to be resumed
to-morrow."

The account of the Express correspondent is of a
different character :

" TOUE.MAKEADY, Nov. 21.—This day having
been appointed by the sheriff for executing the
habere, yesterday a large force of military and con-
stabulary were draughted into this famous locality.
A company of the 20th Infantry arrived from the
Curragh, and were sefely housed in temporary bar-
racks provided for them by Mr. Strahan, Lord
Plunket's steward. The constabulary were also
provided with accommodation, and mustered in large
force. It is the first time in '9B that the redcoats—
the therm derrig,' the red army, as the country
people call them—have been seen in this district.
The constabulary—the 'therm dhu,' the black army
—were under Mr. Abbot, sub-inspector; the mili-
tary under Captain Rochfort.
"At an early hour this morning Colonel Knox,
the High Sheriff, drove out, acc'mpanied by Mr.
Acton, Sub-sheriff, and Mr, Moore, R.M. Mr.
Jeremiah Nunn and Mr. IV. Falkiner, Lord Plun-
ket's agents, were in attendance. As the usual
sheriff's officers had been visited by the priests, and
denounced if they attempted to assist in the matter,
the sheriff thought it better to employ persons not
resident in the county, and Mr. Nunn had also
brought a number of assistants. Every device for
the last two or three weeks had been resorted to.

It was confidently asserted that the first man who
attempted to pull down a house would either be
struck dead miraculously or shot down, and the fate
of Hervison induced Lord Plunket's agents not to
employ any of those residing in the district.
" At 9 o'clock the party started on their work of
demolition the military, constabulary, sheriff's
officers, &c. The first houses were those of Lally
and Joyce, in Derryveeny. The causes of their evic-
tion may be seen in Lex's pamphlet. The Rev. Mr.
Lavelle, accompanied by a monk, who acted as his
aide-de-camp, rode up, and, when they were about
to commence, he pulled out his watch to note the
time, then looked about him and made no remark.
The miracle was not wrought. The crowbar brigade
set to work, and soon a gable was seen tumbling
down, bringing part of the roof with it; then
another gable, and the rest of the roof ; then a
cloud of dust—and a heap of ruins was all that re-
mained. The people made no resistance • the houses
were cleared before the sheriff came ; and,C except in
one case, where an old couple tried to dodge the
sheriff and remain inside while the house was
pulling down, there was no attempt to prevent the
carrying out of the law.
" The people are greatly disconcerted—some of
them praying in Irish, Bad luck to his black
mouth !—we never thought it would come to this.'
It is sincerely to be hoped that this example, both
of Lord Plunket's determination to protect his
rights and to preserve the peace of the district and
the lives of the well-disposed, will have a salutary
effect on the evil advised and misled people.
"Up to post hour five houses have been thrown
down.
