Women at the Irish College Of Physi-
cians-In the course Of last week three
more ladies presented themselves for
examination to the Irish College OF Ply
sicians, and after passing clinical, writ
ten, and oral examinations, they were
admitted to the register OF physicians
OF that College. One of these ladies',
DIR. Louisa Atkins, has already been in
PRACTICE in London, and the two others,
DR.. Sophia JeX Blake and DR.. Edith
Pechey, were amongst the earliest Edin-
burgh students. All three ladies had
already taken degrees on the Continent.
1t may be remembered that two OF their
number were, year ago, promised ex-
animation by the Royal College Of Sur
geons, on the memorable occasion when
all the examiners in midwifery resigned
rather than examine women, but since
this resignation nothing whatever has
been done, and the ladies were left in
in to the rescue. There are now seven
women on the medical register.
The new wing OF the Coombe Lying-in
Hospital, Dublin, built and furnished at
a cost of about $1,000, by the late Sir b.
Guinness and AIS son, the present Sir
Arthur Guinness, was opened on Mon
day by the Lord Lieutenant and the,
Duchess of Marlborough, in the pres
ence OF large and fashionable assem-
blage.
The Bishop of Meath-The senate OF
the university on Saturday elected the
Bishop OF Meath to the vacancy on the
council, created by the resignation of
Archdeacon Reichel. e..
Potato Riols-There have been potato
riots in County Mayo. At Castlebar, on
70 m
purchasers for export are termed, were
watched, and if "a purchase was made,
the bags were Immediately cut and the
potatoes scattered about. The railway
stations are also watched to prevent the
export of potatoes. The result OF these
proceedings has been to reduce the price
from 81 10 4d per stone.
a Determined Suicide-Early on Sat-
urday morning a caretaker ON some prl-
vate property at BallyDrack, a station
on the Dublin and Wicklow line, about
twelve miles from Dublin, discovered
the body OF man hanging from the wall.
1t would seem that The deceased had
used great determination, as both his
arms were tightly pinioned with white
pocket handkerchief, with his left leg
crossed ln them, so as to prevent his ex-
tricatlng himself. The body is that of a
age. Nothing was found on his person
to prove his identity.
A shocking murder has just occurred
at d inagh, in the County OF Cork. -
disp ute arose between two farmers as
to the ownership of a piece of land,
when one of them, named Brian, seized
an instrument termed in that country
"agrltfaun" and dealt the other, named
Harry, a blow, breaking In his skull.
When down he received several strokes
on the body, breaking several OF his
ribs. Constable M'Coy being apprized
Of the matter, proceeded to the place,
and arrived in time TO take the dying
mans last words. He expired in a few
Brien has not yet been arrested.
An Action Settled-A decision has
been given In an action by Viscount
Powerscourt against Mr.. Mitchell, to
recover &52 in respect OF rent and use
and occupation. The defendant is a
tenant ON the Benburb estate OF Lord
Powerscourt, in the County Tyrone.
The defendant pleaded that the notice
10 quit served on a number of tenants
pl eviuus TO settlement OF rents by ar
bitration had put an end to the tenancy
by which he and others on the estate
held, that a new tenancy was created,
and, there being nothing in it to take
him out of the operation OF the Land
ACT, he was entitled to deduct, under
the sixty fifth section, halt The amount
of the county cess that had been paid by
him. 1t was admitted that the plaintiff
could only recover in this case a verdict
for 81 1885,, but the principle contended
for by the defendant would be loss of
E300 year to Lord Powerscourt. At
the end Of the legal arguments, the
Ju ,ge directed verdict lor the plain
til, reserving leave to the defendant to
have the verdict turned into one for him
If the Court above should be OF opinion
his lordship should have so directed.
