with and condemned before the tribunals
of this country he would say his word OF
condemnation Of the four miscreants VINO
caused the death of landlords. CHEERS.
Had thew ever heard of Mrs. Downing, of
Garnish [nYes.nI Well, Hutchins raised
her rent ESQ in the last three years; the
valuation of her farm was G104 and the
rent was s2Os. [Groans and cries OF
"Shame.nl She was served with a writ Tor
O .payment of rent on the 9th OF May
from the Superior Courts in Dublin, and
was now uuder notice of ejectment. Well,
what would the Land League DO for Mrs.
Downing, of Garnish? They would give her
their best support; they would hight 1t out
with Mr.. Hutchins in the Superior Courts,
and let them raise their hands again, that
if she was put out they would not take
her farm from Mr.. Hutchins, lAl hands
were raised amid cheers. There were
tenants on this remarkable property at
Garnish who paid their rents, not by the
land which Mr.. Hutchins said he owned,
but by the bounty of the sea, which Mr..
Hutchins did not claim to own. Ii he did
not lay claim to the sea, which God made,
how did he claim the land which was also
made by God for the people, Cheers.
The man who said the land was his
blasphemed in the sight of God, but Mr..
HutchinS went further and wanted to tax
every man who had q seine net, or, as one
poor fisherman had told him, "He wanted
to tax us for five miles of the sea, Sir"
They were al! very sorry that Nh. Hutchlns
was shot at, but they did not wonder at
it, and he (M1. Healy) would tell the Gov
eminent that when those Outrages were
committed by the landlords it was no
wonder that some slight attempt at retalia-
ton should be made by the tenants.
[Cheers. The speaker having referred to
Lord Kenmare as the landlord who had
wrung as much as ever he could out of his
tenants, went on to say there was great
talk about prosecuting the Land League,
but did the people believe it? (E No, no."
He did not believe in any prosecutions
because Mr.. Gladstone had told the land
lords last Session when he was bringing in
a measure to do something for the Irish
farmers, that if they rejected this
Bill, Ireland during the coming spring
and winter would be thrown into a
Torment, "and that it would be within
measurable distance of civil war; The
landlords rejected the Bill OF Mr.. Gladstone,
and with what result all knew. The pre-
else state of things predicted by the Co.
vernment had happened. The landlords,
like the fawning towards they were, went
to the back door of Dublin Castle to ask
for coercion and police. He did not believe
that Mr.. Gladstone would give them that
coercion, aud he would tell them why. Du.
ring the debate on the Disturbance Bill, while
Mr.. Gladstone was referring to those terrible
sentences of dea'b, be (Mr. Healy) watched
his face, and saw in it rage and disgust at the
Irish landlords. cloud oheers.) His frame
trembled, his eyes darted fire as he denounced
In powerful accents this pack of Irish landlords
who had for many q year brought the country
10 misery. AS Bismarck said on one occasion,
Mr.. Gladstone, with his generous heart, would
let the landlords fry in their own fat.n
lCheers.l The next year they would be acces-
sible and more ready to recognize the rights of
the Irish tenant-farmsrs MrI Gladstone at
West Calder, said hat if it was a necessity to
the State, be could not see why the l~apdlords
should not be compulsorily appropriated, and
1t was well known that Mr.. Bright, Sir
CHARLES Dixie, and other members of the Ca
binet held the same views. With men of such
opinions in the Cabinet it was a pity that men
of such ability as the bishops and priests Of
Cloyne and Cork, should take power out of
their hands by formulating the milk-and- water
scheme for the three " F's." He called on the
people to unite together for the common good.
(Cheers.]
A telegram received from Bautry states that
the arrest of Mr.. Healy was made on On infor-
NATION Of q farmer named Manning for intimida-
ton. Manning was denounced at the land
meeting held in Bantry on Sunday week for
having taken a farm from which the previous
tenants had been elected. On the following
