Captain Nolan, restored to the homes and
farms from which they were evicted in
1864 and 1866. That Captain Nolan restore
to tenantable condition, or rebuild for the
said tenants, their houses and Offices then
demolished. That the middleman land
shark, Murphy, be forthwith elected from
the Lands so to be restored to the rightful
tenants" This, it strikes us. is simple and
stern Justice" poetic Justice" too. At
the conclusion of the judgment an affect

murmured their prayers of gratitude
