SPREAD OF THE " MOLLY MAGUIRE" SYSTEM.
The High sheriff of Donegal, Lori George A. Hill,
with Colonel Conolly, foreman of the grand jury, Sir
James Stuart, Bart., Sir Robert Bateson, Bart., and
several other magistrates of that county, have published
a declaration announcing it as their &termination, in
cons, quence of the service of some " Molly Maguire"
notices, to take decided measures for repressing that
baneful system in the district. The magistrates have
r.greed to the following resolutions :
" 1. That if a single instance again occurs of a similar
nature, that we immediately apply for such an effective
additional police force, to be introduced into such a dis-
trict, and the entire expense of that force to be clef. ayed
off that district alone, as will effectually put an end to
the proceedings of such a lawless body, aad protect the
In es and properties of the peaceable and well- dispost d.
And we recommend and urge, in the strongest manner,
the co-operation of all the landhold• rs and occupiers of
land in the county, to prevent a system of outrage or in-
timidation being introduced or gaining ground in this
county, which must, if allowed to gain ground, prove the
destruction of their peace, their lives and their property.
"2. That we find, from clear proof, that numbers of
persons, total strangers to this county, are now prowling
about it, without any apparent lawful purp •se ; and, as ~
the track of such persons is ever marked with some act
subversive of peace and good order, we cannot urge too
strongly on the farmers and landholders the wisdom, if.
not the necessity of reporting the app.:•arance of all such. '
persons to the magistrates and police, and on all occa-
sions refusing them admissions into their houses."
The appearance of the " Molly Maguires" in this_
county was as sudden as unwelcome. It was only on Fri=. ,
day last that Chief Justice Penn( father, in charging
grand jury, congratulated them on the extreme trap
epiillity of the district, which presented so excellent an
example to some neighbouring counties.
THE FATAL CONFLICT AT BALLINHASSIG.
The Mayor of Cork, acting on a requisition, has cone
versed a meeting of the citizens, in order to express to
her Majesty's Government their opinions regarding the
recent inquest on the bodies of seven persons killed by
the police at the fair of Ballinhassig. The requisition is
worded very strongly, and the Mayor refrains from corn-.
' miming himself with the opinions of the requiAtionists.
