spun out the sprocesdings to Sdco olsn
1t was for this purpose they occup
whole weeks in giving In . MACS Of TRIVIAL
evidence, most Of which was repeated ever
and over some four or Ave times.
! 1t was for this purpose they had council
to spend whole days in addressing erations
and 60 called arguments to Judge keo&h,
who wanted no such helps to make up his
mind on the subject before him.
The design was perfectly plain; 1t was
"to beggar Nolan"
"NoW," said they to themselves, tive will
have vengeance for the PortacarrOn Award.
"Now We will hunt out Of the country the
man who dared to introduce the principle
of arbitration between landlords and ten
4 ants.
"Now we will punish the man who dared
to assent to the principle OF restoring evict-
ed tenants to their holdings.
"Now we have him ae 1t were in q wise,
: from. which we shall never release him until
every bone in his body Ii broken.
"And now we shall have our sweet re-
: venge upon the Archbishop, the Bishops,
. and the Priests who prevent as from lord,
who Fill the minds Of these men with the
: idea that they have rights and consciences
. | of their own which we are bound to respect
r "Keogh will settle for themi let US
therefore, pile up the costs on Nolan ant
- the close Of the case will see him paupe
and tho clergy DETAINED, disfranchi'ed ant
}, "And after that we will have the poll
a tics Of the county all to ourselves, we may
tyrannise as we please over the tepantry
and put an end to the agitation for Home
l. Rule and Free Education In this part o.
g the country"
Such were the ide 10 on which the Galwa
% landlords acted throughout this case
= Judge Keogh has given them the sem6iancs
d of a triumph, but he and they will eoor
It fnd that they will fail to carry out theil
Is cherished purposes.

T. will take carethat he eshali not be sufferer

10 been heaped on him; subscriptions art
10 pouring into it in a manner which SHOWS
. how deeply tue hearts of Irishmen Of al
classes have been touched by the shamefu

determined are the Irish people that tn
vile plot which had been laid and voEkea

1t We strongly recommend that subscTip
