to reach us from all parts of Ireland, and
people are beginning to ask themselves
where it will end is there no limit to the
power of a policeman, or no means of pro-
tecting the property and liberty of peace
full citizens from his aggression This
week we have to record another outrage
by the police. On Sunday, August 8, pic
mic party, consisting of respectable shop
keepers and assistants, to the number of
about ffty-six persons, left Clonmel for
Kilmanahan Castle, on the SUR, having
chartered number of boats for the occa-
sion. Several of these boats bore flags of
various gay colors at their sterns, two of
the flags being of green silk, with borders
of black Grape, and having the harp and
shamrock beautifully worked ON them in
gold. A party of policemen chose to fancy
that these flags were of q Fenlan ten
dency," and despite the circumstances of
the excursionists,/ they seized them, and
carried them away to magistrate named
Watson. This gentleman, who seems to
know something more about law, and to
have more regard for it than the notorious
Knox, of Dungannon, ordered the police to
return the flags to their owners, who, it is
stated, will test the legality of the police
mems conduct.
