C society, as well as to their actual perpetrators:.:-
and accessories. And this meeting begs to say it is
alibel upon both this society and Brskithead)
when it is asserted that the latter has been nikistatid
as a member, because he was never expelled." " That
this meeting hopes, and earnestly recommends to all
this society's members, and the members of all other
trades' societies, that they do now abstain and de-
sist from all acts of rattening, intimidation, outrage,
and violence, having full confidence, from what was
expressed by the examiners in Sheffield at the in-
quiry, that,it.is the intention of the Legislature to
give the labour question that consideration to which
it is entitled, and trust that its deliberations will
be so wisely directed as to remove the causes for.
these illegal acts being done, and by legislative mea-
sures afford more satisfaction to both employer and
employed, in their connection with each other."

The echoes of the last fiercepsturßulgAgNiesAfourgt.hletre-
presentation of the city of Londonderry are still
ringing through our courts of law. First we had
the sounds of renewed strife in the Common Pleas
and Exchequer, where actions to recover penalties
for alleged bribery and corruption were heard for
several days. These were caught up at the assizes,
ennedn
where actions for libel were brought by way of re-
prisal, and we have now the same forces arranged

also succeeded, the defendant allowing
judgment to go by default. Two
were brought
against Mr. Colquhoun, the conducting
agent, and
are still pending, the plea in one being that the
other was at issue, and that two actions could not
be instituted for the same cause, and the plaintiff's
rejoinder being that the other was a collusive one.
A question of law is thus raised, which may prolong
the dispute until the litigants fight their way into
the House of Lords. Another action for penalties
was brought against Mr. Humfreys, son of the land
agent of the Marquis of Abereorn, and the chief
interest centres in this owing to the circumstances
of the case and the rank of the person concerned. A
trial took place in December last in the Court of
Exchequer, and ended in a disagreement of the jury.
In support of the prosecutor's case a witness named
Daniel Miller was produced, who swore "that "he
saw Lord Claud John Hamilton, Mr. Hutufreys,
and Mr. Thomas Lindsay in the publichouse of
Thomas Kelly, in Londonderry, the day of the
election, and heard Mr. Hurnfreys call for three
half glasses of brandy, and saw Mr. Humfreys
hand something, which he thought was a roll of
notes, to Kelly." For this statement be has been
put in the dock at the Commission to answer a
charge of perjury. Mr. Macdonogh, Q.C., and Mr.
Hamilton conducted the prosecution ; Mr. Dowse,
Q.C., and Mr. XPLughlin, defended the prisoner.
The several parties stated to have been present
were produced as terms every one of thesses, and contradiallegcted
ations
in ex-
press and positive
made in the prisoner's evidence. Mr. Dowse, for the
defence, contended that the trh ia l
action for penalties
had been brought
for the purpose of strangling te
against Mr. Ilumfreys. lie examined witnesses, who
deposed they saw the above-named gentleman corn-
ing from the direction of Kelly's shop, but they
proved nothing more, and on cross-examination
they were not positive as to identity.
u The jury in
a few minutes returned a verdict of gilty,with
recommendation to mercy on account of the priso-
ner's youth. Chief Justice Monahan, in passing
sentence, expressed his full concurrence in the _ver-
dict, and taking into consideratio months' im-
a t appeal of
the jury, s2ntenced the prisoner to six m
prisonment with bard labour.
A practical tribute to the excellence of the dietary
in the Mountjoy convict prison was paid by a priso-
ner named Short, who had been convicted for larceny
at the last commission. Sentence was ten deferred
in consequence of the absence of some papers which
the court required to see, and the case remained
over until this commission. The prisoner, it may
be observed, was an object of sympa,thys er, havivedng
as re a
ceived a sunstroke in India, where he
soldier during the mutiny and won the Victoria
Cross. On hearingm from the Chief Justice that he
could not be sentenced until the next comniksiou,
sen he
begged his lordship, with tears in his eyes, to
tence him to penal servitude, and send him to
Mountjoy, as he would rather shoot himself than
remain starving in Richmond Bride well. his re-
quest, however, was not complied with.
A project for the establislunwas ent of
unsuccessfully
a veterinary
college in this city, which
brought forward about two y
better chance of
ears ago, is now re-
vived, with, it is supposed, some
being carried out. A preliminary meeting, at which
the Hon. G. Idandco-;k took the chair, has been held
and a committee appointed to confe
first r withincluded an
the Royal
Dublin Society. The scheme at
application to the Government to appropriate for
the purpose of the proposed college a sum of £15,000,
which it was thought rema
cattle during the
ined in hand out of the
fund collected for the inspection of
continuance of the rinderpest. This proposition
would doubtless have added to the popularity of the
project, as it suggested an easy method of realising
ed-
it; but, on consideration, it was thought more
visable to omit it at least in the first instance.
His Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant has resumed
his official duties at Dublin Castle. H
le presidedn
yesterday afternoon at a Privy Counci wh ere a
li
order was made, in comp
with the pressing
application of several leading agriculturists, allow-
ing the importation of sheep from Cumberland and
Northumberland, as well as from Scotland, which
were prohibited during the existence of the cattle
plague.
Lord Stratlmairn proceeded to the Curragh Camp
yesterday evening after inspecting the troops in the
garrison.
The commemoration of the relief of Derry, an-
other of the " glorious anniversaries" which the
north delights to perpetuate, passed off quietly on
2,loLday with the usual demonstrations.
No further deaths have resulted from the recent
railway accident at Bray. The inquest at Loughlin-
'own on Monday ended in a verdict substantially
'le same as that arrived at by the coroner's jury on
xday.
