ORANGEMEN ON HOME RULE.
The opening on Saturday last OF an
Orange Hall at POyntzpass, In the county
of Armagh, afforded "the brethren" OF tnaS
district an opportunity of giving vent 70
their views on religions and political mat
ters. The principal, topic discussed after
the ceremony of opening the hall was over

Il IMPORTANT DECISION.
o At the Letterkenny Land Sessions a case
was presented in which the Earl of Leitrm
appeared as defendant and one of his ten
, ants as plaintiff. The question, accordin G
to the Derry Standard, was, whether the
az present Earl of Leitrim, wha, on his Access
"a sion to the Leitrim estate in Donegal many
~ years ago, arbitrarily abolished the Tenant
~ right custom existing on that estate during
n the lifetime Of his predecessor, could now
% maintain the legal validity OF that sum
~ mary abolition. The Chairman decided
y, that he could not, and that if he insists on
- turning out his tenants he must pay them
~ 2, the full value of their interest in their
" holdings, such value to be estimated ac-
>, cording to the custom which had been
Ia abolished. Obviously this is a decision OF
,e tho first Importance; for, as the Derry
il Standard points out, the immediate effec,
m of it will be to re-establish the Tenant
,eI right custom on the Leitrlm estates II
a. Donegal, while its remote effects will be
~ if the tenants of Ulster are true to them
~ selves, to undo many other local infraction
rs of the custom, and to prevent such infrac
at tions for the future.
