THE SPY SYSTEM.
DUBLIN, MAY 5.,-Mr. Medley, Q.C., who presided at the
investigation at Shinrone, has presented his report to the
Government, detailing the horrible system of getting up
Ribbon prosecutions in that part of the King's County, in
which policemen were implicated. It is said that the Go-
vernment have determined upon the dismissal of three of the
police—one of them a person of superior station in the force
—and also upon the removal to another station of a civil
officer holding an appointment in the district.
The provincial papers, received this morning, contain
further revelations . respecting this atrocious spy system.
The Tipperary Vindicator states that a policeman has berm
detected' in circulating a vile publication, entitled, " The
Swaddler defeated," the object of which was to inflame the
Roman Catholic population. An inquiry was in progress by
the local authorities.

The Limerick Reporter of yesterday contains the fol -
lowing :
" MORE PADDY M'KEwrs3l.—Two ruffians of this descrip-
tion, who trade upon the lives and liberties of the incAutious
and unwary, have been prowling the country under the cha-
racter of tinkers, with an ass and car, and* two children ht it ;
and, strange to say, that although in every other respoct
under the character of, and representing themselves as',
tinkers, they had no budget or tools belonging to the trade.
Having arrived in the district of O'Brien's-bridge, on Satur-
day last, instead of inquiring if there were any pots, bellows,
or kettles to mend,' their whole inquiries were about the state
'of the country and the feelings of the people. The Repeaters
of the district, suspecting their character to be assumed, im-
mediately informed the police,l-vho apprehended them. The
police, finding they could not give a satisfactory account of
themselves, searched the car and their persons, when they
found with them two blunderbusses, two cases of pistols, a
mould for making balls, as also the materials and mode of
making powder. This unique pair of tinkers were accord-
ingly marched off by the police to Killaloe, and having un •
dergone an examination before Captain Martin, J.P., were
fully committed- to the county gaol at Ennis. There can be
no doubt but that the ruffians intended, first to seduce some
unwary persons, then to supply them with powder and ball,
and afterwards inform against them."
Mr. O'Connell, accompanied by his son, Mr.'John O'Con-
nell, M.P., leaves town this day or to-morrow for London, to
attend the discussion on the Irish Municipal Bill.
The Tipperary Vindicator states that six families were last
week evicted for non-title, from Kildangan, in that county,
the property of Lord Norbury. Three of the families were
subsequently allowed to re-enter their holdings.
