ANOTHER VERSION or THE CASE OF TIVE TWO MEN
FROM BALLYMoNEy, IN IRELAND, now N DURANGO IN
BRrDEwELL.-The writer Of this article knows well
the humane and kind disposition of the British Con-
sui and knows that he merely acts in this case Off
cially, which he is obliged to, however repugnant TO
his feelings.
The case is simply this he cid man had taken
lease of small farm from the late Col. o Hara.-
COL OHaras estate was divided among his sons and
son-in-law, and the part occupied by the Bambers
devolved to of them, who alleged that the granor
had let il too low, and therefore demanded higher
rent which OF course was refused but the real rent
was rendered at each time that the demand was
made. This not being satisfactory to the new pro-
prietor he from step to another had recourse 10
the police and procured the assistance of sergeants
guard to dispossess the occupants. On that occasion
the sergeant unfortunately shet One OF the
OF Bamber was arrested tried at the county town and
acquitted the old man and another son found their
way TO this country where they have lived respected
and beloved by those who knew them-and surely
discriminating public cannot attach blame to any in
dvidual who, under the circumstances would attempt
to preserve his property from illegal violence TRUTH.
