now practicable is that the tenants should meet
by estates when summoned to pay rent ana de-
eide upon common action as recommended III
the League manifesto. The time mas now
come for the people to choose between the
Land Court and the League We Will devote
our resources to the support OF those VINO STAND
by the principles of the League, but we cannot
do ANYTHING for evicted tenants on those es-
tates where their fellow tenants on the same
estate are unmindful of those principles.
We have therefore directed the custodians OF
our relief funds to refuse help to tenants on
any estate where the rest of the tenants nave
either applied to the Land Court to fix their
rent or who have paid rents. We recommend
evicted tenants to continue to rely on the
League and not to waste their slender resources
in a useless Legal struggle
Among tho arrests to-day are secretaries OF
the Castle Dermot and Athy branches OF the
Land League President of the Newmarket
branch, and Mr.. Hofferman, League organ
izer of Kildare.
