Dublin, Dec. Sit is becoming
more evident every day that the Land
League intends to combine with the
land agitation demand for some de-
gree OF selt-govcrnnent. The scnti-
lncnts of Parncll's speech the other
day, at Waterford, in which he said
that if the people kept organized ihey
could compel England in four or five
years to restore to tho Irish the right
of selt-goveruncnt are reflected in the
speeches Of other leaders. The or
ganization is now approaching ptr-
fiction. Thirty or forty branches Of
the Lengue are formed every week.
The newspapers. though they give
much Of their space to tho League
meetings. make no pretence of priut-
ing the proceedings Of all. Dublin
was startled to hear OF great Land
League meeting being held within Il
few miles OF the city, ut Maahide, on
Monday. Dillon and Davitt made
stirring speeches. The former public
~ denounced the Chief Justice of Ire
land as a cowardly liar for statements
made under the protection Of his
ermine which he would not have dared
make under other circumstances, The
government is worstcd at every turn
IN the courts by the League. The
etlitor of the Sligo Champion has been
acquitted at Clare. where he was tried
for threatening II local shopkeeper.
This is the third prosecution in which
the government has been recently de-
fcatcd.
AN EXTRAORDINARY PROCEEDING.
An extraordinary proceeding. un-
predcnted as yet i'm the South Of Ire
land, took place on Monday, at Muir
roe. county Limerick. John Haves.
gamckcepcr ot Sir Croker Darlington,
was summoned before the magistrates
at Murroc SESSIONS for shooting the
greyhound of farmer named RYAN
and for having fired at one William
Ryan, also farmer. The crown
prosecuted. The hearing Of the case
attracted a: considerable number of
people into the village. Mr.. james
Moran, a solicitor, attended Oh behalf
OF the Land League to support the
prosecution. Mr.. Patrick ConnelIv.
solicitor, dc;enlcd the accused. Tie
evidence of the RyallS was that they
were hunting for harcs when a grew
hound, pm suing hare, got upon Bar
rin%ton's iaEd. While tile hound was
coming back Hayes shot it aud then
rcloutlinG his gun fired at William
Ryan, but did not wound him. Uiti-
mately the charge of shooting the dog
was Withdrawn and Tlaves was held
for trial on tho second charge of shoot
ing at Ryan.
SOLICITOR ALMOST MOBBED.
When Mr.. Connolly left the court q
crowd of people, numbering fully a
thousand, gathered around him, hoot-
ing and gr.nnin" vigorously and rails
inc their sticks in the air. Tic state
OF affairs became SO threatening that
Connolly had to seek shelter In the
house of Mrs. O'tunnor. The doors
were closed and ii was with the utmost
hilli nltv that those within prevented
the turcihlc entry Of tho popnlacc. The
carMan who brought Connolly to the
village was SO terrified that he drove
rapidly away. While the uproar was
at its height the local secretary of tho
League appeared and informed the
people that Connolly was prepared to
make an apology for the part he had
taken against the people IN the past,
n q that lie would not do anything to
thwart them in the future.
HE APOLOGIES.
Shortly aftcrward Connolly appear
ed. and mounting on chair expressed
sorrow Mt having acted professionally
for land owner who, it was alleged,
had made himself obnoxious to the
people. lie promised that hc would
; never again serve an eicctmcnt for
rent. His apology. however, did not
nllay the angry feelings Of the popu-
lace, and the officers of the League
had to form a Gordon to protect him
from their fury. Mud was flung at
Connolly, sticks were brandished over
| bis head and one blow was dealt him.
Opprobrious cpithcts were applied to
him as he was escorted with considcra-
pie difficulty away from Murroc. He
had to walk all the way to Barring
tons bridge, and was jcrrcd md hoot-
cd at along the road. At The bridge
he procured a car and drove into
Limerick, where he arrived late at
night.
| EXCITEMENT IN THE NORTH.
: The excitement continues IN the
| North, the Orangemcn being deter
mined to oppose the League. A gen.
tlcnan WI iling from Dallyconnell OH the
day OF the League meeting there says {;
"Jhe police to-day estimate the NUN
