owner. residing at Lissilane, County Cork,
| writes to the Times that he expended e250,.
! 600 on the improvement of his property, and
has hitherto enjoyed coed relations with his
tenants; but because he refuses to accept
| Griffit this valuation his tenants have been de.
terred by threats from paying their rent. He

posite his door. His laborers are compelled to
| leave him, and none dare buy his produce,
| because when it is sent to market, it is sur
rounded by bowling mob.
| A correspondent of the Times at Cork says:
| When Jones on Tuesday tried to ship so head
of cattle and sheep to Bristol for sale, number
of large shippers informed the steamship
company that they would cease their dealings
with it if the cattle were shipped, and the
company consequently refused to take the cat
| tie, as also did the Clyde Shipping Company.
! Finally the drovers refused to tend the cattle,
which, after straying through the streets,
were finally driven by the police to the Great
| Western Railway, and that company for.
warded them to Dublin by train, in spite of
| the efforts of the ''Boycotters" to prevent the
company from supplying a train. Jones is
| unpopular because of his writings in the psri-
odical press in opposition to public works.
The police promised to protect the laborers if
| they would remain until MIR. Jones arrived,
but they refused. The Land League will
support the laborers who left the estate. The
| family of Mr.. Jones are attending to the re-
naming cattle, protected by armed police,
and the house is guarded at night. The
seizure of the lodge is expected.
| When Jones' cattle arrived at Dublin they
were treated the same way as at Cork. An
| tie to Glasgow or Liverpool. If that fails
! Jones' agent will telegraph for instructions
whether the cattle shall be consigned to
Bristol by way of Belfast. In the meantime
the police guard the cattle.

stabulary returns. / am sorry publicly to
state that the clear conclusion TO which l

northern province. / have known this county
| for nearly half century, and never in the
course Of my lifetime do / remember any
state of things at all parallel to that which is
now existing. A system of intimidation on
large scale is perfectly organized and openly
avowed. It is practiced on these concerned
