4 Your e jsfS Wiik ~ ! IN Is lsaw inst
ehe prosperity OF the IriAR farmer ii on the1
increase. Large sums. are lodged, to their
credit in the National and other hanks; ib
more facts, which only prove what pros
perons c0nptry Ireland might be if properly |
Administered. In tho county Of Tipperaryj
the rate-collector had q sum of G40OO to
collect, extending over thirty electoral di-
visions. He had received the whole amount
with the exception Of the trifling arrear OF
Sl7. Another fact speaks for itself. Not
long ago the interest in n leasehold form OF
20 acres, held at rent of Dos. per acre, and
with AN unexpired term OF only sixteen
years to run, was offered to public compe-
titlon by the owner of the property, Mrs.
Michael Green, of Tipperary. The tenants
interest alone brought no less sum than
f6OO.
The first case heard nnder the new Land
Act came before Mr.. Rolleston Spanner,
&C, the chairman of the county Upper
airy, last week, at the quarter sessions at
Clonmel. An ejectment was brought by
the Irish Land Company to recover pos
/ session of farm in the occupation of
man named M'Grath, who had bought it's
good will for Gao from a tenant, but was
| never TcCOSuIZeu ny Cuo pAdiuCAASs 4NOI-
withstanding this fact he claimed compen-
1 satiOn for disturbance. The chairman de-
cided that, in consequence of the sub-let-
ting, the defendant had no claim. The
agent of the property, however, consented
to allow him seven years compensation,
deductlng years rent which was In
arrear.
i sensible step towards reunion and the
regeneration of Ireland has been taken in
: Derry, where the much veXed question of
T party professions is not yet settled. Your
, readers know that in chat city Catholic
Defence Association has been established,
9 with the avowed object of putting down
8 the "Prentice Boys" professions by armed
force if they are not otherwise suppressed.
> 1t is now suggested by themselves that the
! Government should put them down by
proclamation, and that then the association
should be dissolved. But the irrepres-
sible Derry Protestants object to go
ing in for any course that seems to threaten
!, his being robbed. of his darling displays.
! They protest against such a course on the
ground that it would give triumph to a
: plainly illegal society, and premium to
D outrage. They rely upon the fact that
their own organization is perfectly legal
and refuse to yield to threats of violence.
